Answer

This code snippet checks if the value of `X` is equal to 5. If it is, some specific code will be executed (represented by `# Some code here`). If `X` is not equal to 5, the value of `X + 4` will be assigned to the variable `Z`.

Work Step by Step

Let's break it down: ``` if (X == 5): # Some code here else: Z = X + 4 ``` Explanation: 1. `if (X == 5):` - This is a conditional statement that checks if the variable `X` is equal to 5. If this condition is true, the code block immediately following this statement (indented) will be executed. 2. `# Some code here` - This is a placeholder for the code that will be executed if the condition `X == 5` evaluates to true. Since the specific code to be executed is not provided, it's represented as a comment. 3. `else:` - This part of the conditional statement specifies what should happen if the condition `X == 5` is false. If `X` is not equal to 5, the code block immediately following this statement (indented) will be executed. 4. `Z = X + 4` - This line of code assigns the value of `X + 4` to the variable `Z`. This code block will execute if the condition `X == 5` evaluates to false.
