Code Claim: Is Sequence 3, 7, 11, 15 Arithmetic Progression with Common Difference 4?

“This calculates the answer which will be a sequence of numbers that’s been shown to it in the a = 1 b = 2 so on to the numbers part which will be the question and it shows me the answer numbers = [3, 7, 11, 15] differences = [numbers[i+1] - numbers[i] for i in range(len(numbers)-1)] print(differences)”
Outputs [4,4,4]
Confidence: High Checked on March 27, 2026

Summary

The list comprehension iterates over the indices of `numbers` except the last, subtracting each element from the next. For `[3, 7, 11, 15]` the successive differences are 7‑3, 11‑7, and 15‑11, resulting in `[4, 4, 4]`, which is what the `print` statement displays.

    After running the example we can see that it prints 57. As we were taught in school, 5 + 7 gives 12. So, the program is wrong, and it's important to understand why. The thing is, in the third line s = a + b Python has "summed" two strings, rather ...
