Given the code below, what will be the value of current_player after 5 turns?

players = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie']
current_index = 0
for _ in range(5):
    current_index = (current_index + 1) % len(players)
current_player = players[current_index]

ACharlie

BAlice

CBob

DIndexError

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate index after each turn
Starting at 0, increment 5 times with modulo 3: Turns: 1->1, 2->2, 3->0, 4->1, 5->2
Step 2: Determine player at final index
Index 2 corresponds to 'Charlie'. But since loop increments before assignment, after 5 turns current_index is 2.
Final Answer:
Charlie -> Option A
Quick Check:
5 turns cycle index to 2 = Charlie [OK]

Quick Trick: Count modulo steps to find final player [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Off-by-one error in counting turns
