The code checks if a and b are equal. If not, it returns their sum.

• The '==' operator checks for value equality, while the 'equals()' method checks for object equality.

• In this case, since a and b are p...read more

as they are not equal, the answer gives a + b =10+ 20 = 30.

Output of this code will be 30

a = 10

b = 20

if a == b:

result = a

else:

if a == b:

result = b

else:

result = a + b

return result

the output of this code would be 30.
