Assignment: Exploring Python Data Structures

Objective:
Understand how to work with lists, tuples, and dictionaries in Python. Complete the tasks below
and submit your work before the next class.

Part 1: Lists

1. Create a list named fruits with the following items: "apple", "banana", "cherry", "date".

2. Perform the following operations:


- Add "elderberry" to the end of the list.
- Remove "banana" from the list.
- Insert "blueberry" between "apple" and "cherry".
- Print the number of items in the list.
- Sort the list in alphabetical order.

Expected Code:

Part 2: Tuples

1. Create a tuple named dimensions with the following values: 10, 20, 30.

2. Write code to:


- Access and print the second value in the tuple.
- Attempt to change the first value (this should result in an error, explain why).
- Loop through the tuple and print each value.

Expected Code:
Part 3: Dictionaries

1. Create a dictionary named student_grades with the following key-value pairs:


- "Alice": 85
- "Bob": 90
- "Charlie": 78

2. Write code to:


- Add a new student "Diana" with a grade of 92.
- Update Charlie's grade to 80.
- Remove Alice from the dictionary.
- Print all students and their grades.

Expected Code:

Part 4 : Nested Dictionaries

1. Create a nested dictionary named class_grades where each key is a student's name and the
value is another dictionary that contains their grades for different subjects:

2. Write code to:


- Add a new student "Diana" with grades: Math = 88, Science = 91, English = 86.
- Update Bob’s Science grade to 90.
- Print the average grade of each student.
- Remove Charlie from the dictionary.
- Print all student names and their grades in all subjects.
Expected Code:

Additional Questions (Optional):


1. Challenge: Write code to find which student has the highest average grade and print their
name and average.
- Hint: Use a loop to keep track of the highest average while iterating through the dictionary.

Submission Guidelines:

- Submit the Python file containing your code.


- You can include comments to explain each part of the code.
- If you run into errors or unexpected behavior, write down your observations and thoughts on
what went wrong.
