[Solved] Find the error in this payment retry logic:def retry_payment(attempts): while attempts > 0: print("Trying payment") attempts -= 1 print("Failed") retry_payment(2) | LLD

LLD - Design — Parking Lot System

Find the error in this payment retry logic:

def retry_payment(attempts):
    while attempts > 0:
        print("Trying payment")
        attempts -= 1
    print("Failed")

retry_payment(2)

AThe print("Failed") should be inside the loop

BThe decrement of attempts is outside the loop causing infinite loop

CNo error; code runs correctly

DThe function should return a value

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze loop and decrement placement
The decrement of attempts is inside the while loop, so attempts decreases each iteration.
Step 2: Consequence of decrement placement
With decrement inside loop, the loop terminates correctly after attempts reach zero, avoiding infinite loop.
Final Answer:
No error; code runs correctly -> Option C
Quick Check:
Decrement inside loop ensures loop termination [OK]

Quick Trick: Decrement inside loop avoids infinite loops [OK]
