QuestionQ3

Network Element Programmability

Refer to the exhibit below.

Question Image

Assuming a new ACI instance, what occurs when this script runs?

  • A Ten objects are created and subsequently deleted.
  • B Nine objects are created.
  • C An exception is thrown.
  • D Ten objects are created.
Explanation

range(1,10) produces the nine values 1 through 9. The script submits one tenant-creation request for each value, creating nine uniquely named tenant objects; it does not contain any operation that deletes them.

git commit -m "new function"
git commit -msg "new function"
step 1
step 2
step 3
Explanation

git add . stages the changed file(s), git commit -m "new function" records the staged changes in the local repository, and git status reports the resulting working-tree and staging status. The -m option is the correct commit-message flag.
