Quiz:Tuples

Lists are mutable while tuples are immutable. Both support the index() method. The variable y would be assigned the value 4 after the code x, y = 3, 4 runs. The variable y would contain a list of tuples after the code x = {'chuck': 1, 'fred': 42, 'jan': 100} and y = x.items() runs. The tuple (6, 0, 0) is greater than the tuple (5, 1, 3). The code creates a list of value, key tuples from the items of dictionary c. The data list can be sorted in reverse order using data.sort(reverse=True). The string 'Wed' can be printed from the days tuple using print(

1 - What is the difference between a Python tuple and Python list?

Answer: Lists are mutable and tuples are not mutable


// An advantage is that tuples are safe data by is the incapacity to change.

2 - Which of the following methods are available for both Python lists and Python
tuples?

Answer: index()
// The other methods imply changing the data in the tuple.

3 - What will end up in the variable y after this code is executed?

x , y = 3, 4

Answer: 4
// I was confused because I feel that the redaction was not clear, I think it
might be better
like this: " What will end up in the variable: y, after..." or "What will end up
in the variable "y" after...".
In any case; "x" is assigned the first value on the other side of the equal sign,
and "y" the second, if you
invert the position of the variables like "y , x = 3, 4", "y" will be 3.

4 - In the following Python code, what will end up in the variable y?

x = { 'chuck' : 1 , 'fred' : 42, 'jan': 100}


y = x.items()

Answer: A list of tuples


// items() always return a tuple, a safe data ;).

5 - Which of the following tuples is greater than x in the following Python


sequence?

x = (5, 1, 3)
if ??? > x :
...

Answer: (6, 0, 0)
//The "<" and ">" compares the first number (index[0]) of the tuples,
and only if they equal the comparison will execute the next index.

6 - What does the following Python code accomplish, assuming the c is a non-empty
dictionary?

tmp = list()
for k, v in c.items() :
tmp.append( (v, k) )
Answer: It creates a list of tuples where each tuple is a value, key pair
// It can be confusing, but is a series tuples inside of a list, for example:
lst = ({a,4}, {b, 9}, {c, 7}....). The {} represents the tuples in this case.

7 - If the variable data is a Python list, how do we sort it in reverse order?

Answer: data.sort(reverse=True)
// Without "reverse=True" condition, the .sort() will be executed in normal mode.

8 - Using the following tuple, how would you print 'Wed'?

days = ('Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun')

Answer: print(days[2])
// Tuples work with the index system.

9 - In the following Python loop, why are there two iteration variables (k and v)?

c = {'a':10, 'b':1, 'c':22}


for k, v in c.items() :
...

Answer: Because the items() method in dictionaries returns a list of tuples


// Se question 4.

10 - Given that Python lists and Python tuples are quite similar - when might you
prefer to use a tuple over a list?

Answer: For a temporary variable that you will use and discard without modifying
// And is safe use.
