Help struggling in understanding!

Question

Can someone help me with understanding this problem ?! It’d be much appreciated <3

What is the output of this code?
def mul (nums):
return (nums*2)
nums=[2,4,6,8,10]
result=list(map(mul,nums))
print(result[2])

Answer 1

the code is multiplying every element with 2 to get a new list: 4,8,12,16,20
now you are printing result[2] which is 12 (as the index starts from 0), try changing it to 3 and you will get 16
