Chapter 1, Problem 61CRP

Explanation of Solution

Given code:

days_per_week = 7

weeks_per_year = 52

days_per_year = days_per_week** weeks_per_year

PRINT(days_per_year)

Errors in given Python script.

• In the Python script, there are errors in two statements. The statements that contain errors are in line 3 and line 4 of the program.
• The statement in line 3 is “days_per_year = days_per_week** weeks_per_year”.
• The error in the statement is an extra asterisk because there is no meaning of this extra asterisk in this statement. One asterisk is enough to compute $\text{days\_per\_year}$ which multiplies “days_per_week” by “weeks_per_year”
