1. How to create a list in python?What is the use of negative indexing of list with example. 2 Kn CO2

In python list is a collection of items with same or different datatypes.

A list is created in Python by placing items inside [] , separated by commas .

# A list with 3 integers

numbers = [1, 2, 5]

print(numbers)

# Output: [1, 2, 5]

Negative indexing accesses items relative to the end of the sequence. The index -1 reads the last element, -2 the second
last, and so on.

nums = [1, 2, 3, 4]
last = nums[-1]
second_last = nums[-2]
print(last, second_last)

#output
4 3

To reverse a list in Python, you can use negative slicing:

nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
part = nums[::-1]
print(part)

#output
[7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

2. What is the difference between del() and remove() methods of list? 2 Un CO2

Del:

1. del is a python keyword

2. del removes a element from list using index

3. no searching of elements is done

4. index is used to delete

example

l = [1, 2, 3, 4]
print(l)
del l[1]
print(l)

Python Unit - 2 (1) 1

 #output
[1, 2, 3, 4]
[1, 3, 4]

Remove:

1. remove() is a build in list function

2. searches the value and removes the first occurence from the list.

3. value is used to delete

example

l = [4, 5, 8, 2, 3]
print(l)
l.remove(3)
print(l)

#output
[4, 5, 8, 2, 3]
[4, 5, 8, 2]

3. Give the python code to find the minimum among the list of 10 numbers. 2 Un CO2

a = [18, 52, 23, 41, 32, 68, 29, 48, 52, 10]

smallest = min(a)

print('Smallest number in the list is : ', smallest)

4. What is tuple? What is the difference between list and tuple? 2 Un CO2
Python Tuple is a collection of objects separated by commas. and enclosed in ().

A tuple is ordered, the elements have a defined order

A tuple is unchangable, ie) we cannot change, add or remove items after the tuple has been created.

Allows duplicates

Operations like insertion and deletion are better

Elements can be accessed better.

Many built-in methods are available. Does not have many built-in methods.

5. Is tuple comparison possible? Give an example. 2 Un CO2

A tuple can be compared with other tuple using comparison operators.

the first item of the first tuple is compared to the first item of the second tuple; if they are not equal, this is the result of the
comparison, else the second item is considered, then the third and so on.

a = (1, 2, 3)
b = (1, 2, 5)

Python Unit - 2 (1) 2

 print(a == b)
print(a < b)

#output
False
True

6. What is the output of print tuple + tinytuple, if tuple = ( 'abcd', 786 , 2.23, 'john', 70.2) and tinytuple = (123, 'john')? 2
Un CO2

tuple = ('abcd', 786, 2.23, 'john', 70.2)

tinytuple = (123, 'john')

print(tuple + tinytuple)

#output
('abcd', 786, 2.23, 'john', 70.2, 123, 'john')

7. What is string slicing? 2 Kn CO2

String slicing in Python is about obtaining a sub-string from the given string by slicing it respectively from start to end.
Python slicing can be done in two ways:

Using a slice() method

syntax

slice(stop)
slice(start, stop, step)

Using array slicing [ : : ] method

syntax

arr[start:stop] # items start through stop-1

arr[start:] # items start through the rest of the array
arr[:stop] # items from the beginning through stop-1
arr[:] # a copy of the whole array
arr[start:stop:step] # start through not past stop, by step

String = 'ASTRING'

# Using slice constructor

s1 = slice(3)
print(String[s1])

# Using indexing sequence

print(String[:3])

#output
AST
AST

8. What are python strings? 2 Kn CO2

Strings in python are surrounded by either single quotation marks, or double quotation marks.

'hello' is the same as "hello".

Python strings are "immutable" which means they cannot be changed after they are created

Python Unit - 2 (1) 3

 # create string type variables

name = "Python"
print(name)

message = "I love Python."

print(message)

9. What is python sets? 2 Kn CO2

A Set is an unordered collection data type that is iterable, mutable, and has no duplicate elements.

a set itself is mutable. We can add or remove items from it.

A set is created by placing all the items (elements) inside curly braces {} , separated by comma, or by using the built-
in set() function.
Different data types can be stored in a single list

my_set = {1, 2, 3}
print(my_set)

my_set = set([1, 2, 3, 2])

print(my_set)

10. How to split strings and what function is used to perform that operation? 2 Kn CO2

11. What is meant by key-value pairs in a dictionary? 2 Kn CO2

A key-value pair is a data type that includes two pieces of data that have a set of associated values and a group of key
identifiers. Within a key-value pair, there are two related data elements. The first is a constant used to define the data set.
The other is a value, which is a variable belonging to the data set.

A Python dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs where each key is associated with a value.

A value in the key-value pair can be a number, a string, a list, a tuple, or even another dictionary. In fact, you can use a
value of any valid type in Python as the value in the key-value pair.

A key in the key-value pair must be immutable. In other words, the key cannot be changed, for example, a number, a
string, a tuple, etc.
Python uses curly braces {} to define a dictionary. Inside the curly braces, you can place zero, one, or many key-value
pairs.

person = {
'first_name': 'John',
'last_name': 'Doe',
'age': 25,
'favorite_colors': ['blue', 'green'],
'active': True
}

12. What is the difference is between modify and copy operations performed in dictionary? 2 Un CO2

When the copy() method is used, a new dictionary is created which is filled with a copy of the references from the original
dictionary.

original = {1:'one', 2:'two'}

new = original.copy()

Python Unit - 2 (1) 4

 print('Orignal: ', original)
print('New: ', new)

#output
Orignal: {1: 'one', 2: 'two'}
New: {1: 'one', 2: 'two'}

The update() method updates the dictionary with the elements from another dictionary object or from an iterable of
key/value pairs.

d = {1: "one", 2: "three"}

d1 = {2: "two"}

# updates the value of key 2

d.update(d1)

print(d)

13. Define packages. 2 Kn CO4

A package is a directory containing multiple modules and other sub-packages.

A package is a directory of Python modules that contains an additional __init__.py file, which distinguishes a package
from a directory that is supposed to contain multiple Python scripts.

Example of importing a package

import datetime
date.today()

14. List some built in modules in python. 2 Kn CO4

built-in modules.

os module

random module

math module

time module

sys module

collections module

statistics module

15. Can you use the addition assignment operator, +=, with two lists? What is the result?

The addition assignment operator += can be used with two lists, It adds the list on the left to the contents of list on the right
example

a = [1, 2, 4]
a += [5, 3]
print(a)

#output
[1, 2, 4, 5, 3]
