What is the output of the following program?

```
numB = 2
while numB < 15:
numB = numB + 5
print(numB)
```

Output:
A. 7, 12, 17
B. 7
C. 8
D. 9


Sagot :

The solution to the program involves the following steps:

1. Initialization: Start with `numB` as 2.
2. Condition Check: Check if `numB` is less than 15.
3. Update and Store: Add 5 to `numB`, then store the updated `numB` in a list.
4. Repeat: Continue steps 2 and 3 until `numB` is no longer less than 15.
5. Final List: The final values of `numB` that were added to the list are printed.

Step-by-step execution:

- Initial Value:
- `numB = 2`

- First Iteration:
- Condition: `numB < 15` (which is `2 < 15`, true)
- Update: `numB = numB + 5` -> `numB = 2 + 5` -> `numB = 7`
- Store: Append 7 to the list.
- List: `[7]`

- Second Iteration:
- Condition: `numB < 15` (which is `7 < 15`, true)
- Update: `numB = numB + 5` -> `numB = 7 + 5` -> `numB = 12`
- Store: Append 12 to the list.
- List: `[7, 12]`

- Third Iteration:
- Condition: `numB < 15` (which is `12 < 15`, true)
- Update: `numB = numB + 5` -> `numB = 12 + 5` -> `numB = 17`
- Store: Append 17 to the list.
- List: `[7, 12, 17]`

- Termination:
- Condition: `numB < 15` (which is `17 < 15`, false)
- Loop terminates as the condition is no longer satisfied.

Final output:
The list containing the updated values of `numB` is `[7, 12, 17]`.

Thus, the output for the program is `[7, 12, 17]`.

So, the marked output is [tex]$ \boxed{7, 12, 17} $[/tex].
