How would this be evaluated?

Question

What is the result ?

>>> x"= "a"
>>> x*=3
print(x)

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure "= is a typo. You probably mean

x = "a"
x *= 3

The string "a" is assigned to variable x, x is multiplied by 3 and reassigned to x. When a string is multiplied by a number, you get a new string which is the original string repeated for that number of times. Since "a" was multiplied by 3 and stored in x, the result of printing x would be

aaa
