Chapter 12, Problem 2AW

Program Plan Intro

Output of the code:

The given code is as follows:

#main function

def main():

  #initialize the variable num as 0

  num = 0

  #call show_me function with argument num

  show_me(num)

#function definition for show_me function

def show_me(arg):

  #Display the given arg

  print(arg)

  #check if the arg is less than 10

  if arg 10:

         '''if arg is less than 10, then it calls show_me function

         with arg is incremented with 1'''

         show_me(arg + 1)

#call main function

main()

If the above code is executed, it produces the syntax error on the “if” statement that is highlighted on the code.

Syntax error:

An error that occurs on the source code of a program is referred as “syntax error” because the computer programs strictly follow the syntax rules; if the code fails to prove its programming language syntax format, then the compiler throws an error.
