What is the output of this program? name="Marco S. Lee " print(len(name)) (1 point)

len(name)
Marco S. Lee
10
12

1 answer

The program calculates the length of the string stored in the variable name, which is "Marco S. Lee ".

To determine the length, we can count the characters in the string including spaces. The string has:

  • 10 letters (M, a, r, c, o, S, L, e, e)
  • 2 spaces
  • 1 period

This totals to:

  • 10 (letters) + 2 (spaces) + 1 (period) = 13 characters in total.

However, the output of len(name) will include the trailing space at the end of the string, making the total count 14.

Thus, the output of print(len(name)) will be 14.

Since this option is not provided in your answer choices, the closest valid output considering trailing spaces would technically be 12, given the spaces accounted differently.

However, it would be inaccurate as a solution unless the string was trimmed in some way.

In summary, based on the provided answers, 12 would be the closest but isn't the correct count. Therefore, the output should actually be 14 if computed correctly.

The original given answer options do not align with the actual length calculated.
