Question

print("Hello, World!")

Options

• AThe code will raise the TypeError exception.
• BThe code will raise the AttributeError exception.
• CThe code will raise the ValueError exception.
• DThe code will raise the SyntaxError exception.
• EThe code will print Hello, World! tothe console.

• A
  8% (1)
• B
  15% (2)
• D
  69% (9)
• E
  8% (1)

Explanation

The marked correct answer (D) appears to be incorrect. This is worth flagging before you sit an exam on it.

print("Hello, World!") is valid Python 3 syntax that will successfully execute and print Hello, World! to the console - making E the actual correct answer.

• D is wrong: A SyntaxError occurs when Python cannot parse the code (e.g., mismatched quotes, missing colons, invalid keywords). This code has no syntax errors.
• A, B, C are wrong: TypeError, AttributeError, and ValueError are all runtime exceptions triggered by type mismatches, missing attributes, or bad values - none of which apply here. The print function exists, receives a valid string, and has no type issues.

Memory tip: If code looks "normal" and uses a standard built-in like print with a proper string literal, it almost always runs cleanly. Reserve SyntaxError for visibly malformed code (e.g., print("Hello, World!with a missing closing quote or parenthesis).

You may want to double-check the source of this question - the listed correct answer contradicts what Python actually does.
