Answer 1

Output:
1) Not Five
2) Five

Answer 2

The output for both inputs (i) 7 and (ii) 5 will be "Five".

• The if statement in the code fragment has the condition a = 5. This is an assignment operator that assigns the value 5 to the variable "a" and returns the value 5.
• Since the value 5 is non-zero, it is considered true in a Boolean context, and the code block inside the if statement will be executed.
• So, when the input is (i) 7, the value 5 is assigned to "a" and the if statement condition is considered true, so the output will be "Five".
• Similarly, when the input is (ii) 5, the value 5 is assigned to "a" and the if statement condition is again considered true, so the output will be "Five".
• In order to check for equality, we need to use the comparison operator "==".
• Therefore, if we change the if statement condition to a == 5, it will check if the value of "a" is equal to 5 and the output will change depending on the value of the input.
