print(5 + None)

The code print(5 + None) will produce a TypeError because it is attempting to add an integer (5) to None. In Python, None is a special constant representing the absence of a value or a null value, and it cannot be used in arithmetic operations like addition.

Specifically, when this code runs, Python will raise the following error:

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'NoneType'

This error occurs because Python does not know how to "add" an integer and the NoneType.
