Find the output of the following Python Code:

def PowerUp(N, Step=1):
if N <= 0:
return 0
else:
Res = N + PowerUp(N - Step, Step)
return Res

V1 = PowerUp(4)
V2 = PowerUp(5, 2)
print("Val 1:", V1)
print("Val 2:", V2)
print("Step Check:", PowerUp(Step=3, N=6))
print("Final Calculation:", V1 + V2)

Show answer & explanation
  • Function PowerUp(N, Step) uses recursion to add numbers decreasing by Step until N <= 0.

  • V1 = PowerUp(4) ⇒ 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10

  • V2 = PowerUp(5, 2) ⇒ 5 + 3 + 1 = 9

  • PowerUp(Step=3, N=6) ⇒ 6 + 3 = 9 (then stops as next becomes 0)

  • Recursive calls reduce N each time and accumulate sum.

  • Final Calculation ⇒ V1 + V2 = 10 + 9 = 19

  • Final Output:

    Val 1: 10  
    Val 2: 9  
    Step Check: 9  
    Final Calculation: 19
