What is the expected output of the following code?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The code snippet that you have sent is a loop that checks if a variable ''floor'' is less than or equal to 0 and prints a string accordingly. The code is as follows:

floor = 5 while floor > 0: print(''+'') floor = floor - 1

The code starts with assigning the value 5 to the variable ''floor''. Then, it enters a while loop that repeats as long as the condition ''floor > 0'' is true. Inside the loop, the code prints a ''+'' symbol to the screen, and then subtracts 1 from the value of ''floor''. The loop ends when ''floor'' becomes 0 or negative, and the code exits.

The code outputs five ''+'' symbols to the screen, one for each iteration of the loop. Therefore, the correct answer is C. five.
