Lesson 1.5 · Trace it

Trace: two variables

Python code6 rows to fill2 marks

Complete the trace table for this Python code. [2]

Line 1: a = 1
Line 2: b = 10
Line 3: a = a + b
Line 4: print(a)
Line 5: b = a - b
Line 6: print(b)

Fill in one row each time a line changes a or b, or prints something. The table already has the right number of rows. In each row, write only what that line changes; you can leave the other cells empty or copy their values down. Write values the way Python shows them: 3 and 3.0 are different, and text goes in quotes. In the output column, write exactly what appears on screen, with no quotes around it.
