Interview Question 

The '* 2' says times the list is repeated. In this question, they have given '2' times.


my_list = ['srini', 'seetha', 'rao']
b = len(list(list(list(list(list(my_list*2))))))
Print (b)

2. 6

3. 7

4. None

Explanation:

• In the first step, the '*' says, you repeated the List two times.
• It confuses the test-taker since they have given multiple functions of the list().

How to get Length


You can code the way I did. So that you can get the length correctly. So, the answer to the question is '6'. The List is repeated twice. There's no effect of multiple lists on the list.
