Step by Step explanation of this code [closed]

Question

def mystery(n):
   a, b = 0, 1
   while a < n:
      print (a)
      a, b = b, a + b

If someone could give me a line by line explanation of this code, as also inform of why it will not run, and what extra code needs to be added.

Answer 1

def mystery(n):  # define a function named "mystery", that takes one argument called "n"
    a, b = 0, 1  # make a variable named "a" and set it to 0; make a variable named "b" and set it to 1
    while a < n:  # as long as "a" is smaller than "n"
       print (a)  # display the value contained in "a" on the screen
       a, b = b, a + b  # set "b" to the sum of "a" and "b"; set "a" to the old value of "b" (before it was set to the sum of "a" and "b")
