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
.
