my_tuple = (1, 2) my_tuple[1] = 5 print(my_tuple)

The code will raise an error. Here's why:

  • Tuples in Python are immutable, meaning their elements cannot be changed after creation.
  • The line my_tuple[1] = 5 attempts to modify the second element of the tuple my_tuple, which is not allowed.

Explanation:

  1. my_tuple = (1, 2) creates a tuple with two elements: 1 and 2.
  2. my_tuple[1] = 5 tries to directly modify the second element of the tuple, which violates the immutability of a tuple.
  3. Python will throw a TypeError, stating that 'tuple' object does not support item assignment.

Output:

The code won't print anything because it will terminate with a TypeError. The exact error message is:

TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
