What is the output if the user enters -5 and where do I input the negative 5

An input of -5 gives an output of 4

Explanation:

Given

The attached program

Required

The output when input is -5

Analyzing the program line by line:

This defines the function tryIt. It gets the parameter from the main method.

So, if the user enters -5, -5 is passed into the function through argument a

def tryIt(a,b=7):

This calculates a + b, and returns the sum to the main: a = -5 and b = 7.

   return a + b

So: -5 + 7 = 2; 2 is returned to the main method

The main begins here

#MAIN

This is where you get to input -5

n =int(input("Enter a number: "))

The multiplies the returned value by 2.

ans = tryIt(n)*2

tryIt(-5) = 2. So: ans = 2 * 2; ans = 4

This prints 4

print(ans)
