What will be the output of the following snippet? a = 1 b = 0 a = a ^ b b = a ^ b a = a ^ b print(a, b)

a = 1
b = 0
a = a ^ b
b = a ^ b
a = a ^ b
 
print(a, b)

• 0 0
• 1 1
• 0 1
• 1 0

Explanation: Let’s analyze the code line by line:

• Line 1: 1 is assigned to variable a
• Line 2: 0 is assigned to variable b
• Line 3: the result of the evaluation is 1, so a = 1
• Line 4: the result of the evaluation is also 1, so b = 1
• Line 5: the result of the evaluation a = a ^ b (where a = 1 and b = 1) is 0, so a = 0
• the new values assigned to the a and b variables are then printed to the console.
