Q-16: What will the following code print?

def mystery(nums):
total = 0
for num in nums:
if num == 999:
break
else:
total += num
return total

mystery([8, 2, 999, 5, 4])

print(mystery("walking")) #why is this line here, shouldn't the previous line be: print (mystery([8, 2, 999, 5, 4]), given that the expected answer is 10.

A. 1018
B. 1009
C. 19
D. 10

Q-15: What will the following code print?

def mystery(num_list):
out = []
for i in range(len(num_list) - 1,0,-1):
num = num_list[i]
out.append(num)
return out

print(mystery([5, 10, 15, 20]))

out.append(num) is not properly aligned
