Question

Consider the following function:
def mystery(a, b) :   result = (a - b) * (a + b)   return result
What is the result of calling mystery(3, 2)?

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The problem presents a simple algebraic expression implemented in code. It defines mystery(a, b) as result = (a - b) * (a + b) and returns result.
First, substitute the given arguments: a = 3 and b = 2.
Compute the inner differences and sums: a - b = 3 - 2 = 1, and a + b = 3 + 2 = 5.
Multiply these two results: 1 * 5 = 5.
Therefore, the function call mystery(3, 2) evaluates to 5.
Note: The provided answer list is missing in the input (the answer_options field is empty), so there are no additional choices to compare against. If options were present, we would compare the derived value 5 against each option to determine the correct one.
