PART (A)

Explanation:
#Employee's names list:
employee_names is a list containing the names of employees.

#Split employee's list into two sub-lists:


subList1 and subList2 are created by slicing the employee_names list. (Downey, 2015, p. 73–74)

#Add a new employee to subList2:


'Kriti Brown' is appended to subList2. (Downey, 2015, p. 93)

#Remove the second employee's name from subList1:


The second element (index 1) is removed from subList1 using del. (Downey, 2015, p. 94)

#Merge both lists:


merged_list is created by concatenating subList1 and subList2.

#Assume there is another list 'salaryList' storing salaries:


salaryList is created containing salary values.

#Create raise_salaryList with elements of salaryList * 4%:


raise_salaryList is created using a list comprehension, applying a 4% raise to each element
within raise_salaryList.
#Create updated_salaryList by adding salaryList elements to raise_salaryList elements:
updated_salaryList is created by adding each corresponding element from salaryList and
raise_salaryList using “zip”. (Downey, 2015, p. 118)

#Sort the updated_salaryList and show top 3 salaries:


sorted_salaries is a sorted version of updated_salaryList, and top_3_salaries contains the top 3
salaries using ‘sorted’ coupled with ‘reverse=True’ and slicing to sort from top to bottom.

#Output:
The final section prints various results, including the sublists, merged list, raised salary list,
updated salary list, and the top 3 salaries.

PART (B)

Explanation:

#Input sentence from the user:


sentence is a variable that stores the input obtained from the user using the input() function. The
user is prompted to enter a sentence.

#Convert the sentence into a list of words:


The split() method is used on the sentence variable to break it into a list of words. Using split()
separates the input string based on whitespace.
#Reverse the list of words and store it in a new variable:
The reversed() function is applied to the words list to reverse the order of its elements. The
result is a reverse iterator, and list() is used to convert it back to a list. The reversed list is stored
in the variable reversed_words.

#Print the original word list:


The print() function is used to display the original list of words stored in the words variable. This
line outputs "Sentence Word List:" followed by the original list.

#Print the reversed word list:


The print() function is used again to display the reversed list of words stored in the
reversed_words variable. This line outputs "Reversed Word List:" followed by the reversed list.
