result.extend(i for i in list3 if i not in (list1+list2) and i not in result)
a) [1, 3, 5, 7, 8]
b) [1, 7, 8]
c) [1, 2, 4, 7, 8]
d) error
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Here, ‘ result ’ is a list which is extending three times. When first time ‘ extend ’
function is called for ‘result’, the inner code generates a generator object, which is further used in
‘extend’ function. This generator object contains the values which are in ‘list1’ only (not in ‘list2’
and ‘list3’).
Same is happening in second and third call of ‘extend’ function in these generator object contains
values only in ‘list2’ and ‘list3’ respectively.
So, ‘result’ variable will contain elements which are only in one list (not more than 1 list).

offset — This is the position of the read/write pointer within the file.

whence — This is optional and defaults to 0 which means absolute file positioning, other values
are 1 which means seek relative to the current position and 2 means seek relative to the file’s end.

def getcol(x):
for i in range(x):
yield i
a)Void Function
b)Generator function
