LIST

Question 1
Write a program to increment the elements of a list with a number.
Solution
lst = eval(input("Enter a list: "))
print("Existing list is:", lst)
n = int(input("Enter a number: "))
for i in range(len(lst)):
lst[i] += n
print("List after increment:", lst)

Output
Enter a list: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Existing list is: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Enter a number: 10
List after increment: [11, 12, 13, 14, 15]

Question 2
Write a program that reverses a list of integers (in place).
Solution
l = eval(input("Enter a list: "))
print("Original list:", l)
l.reverse()
print("Reversed list:", l)

Output
Enter a list: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Original list: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Reversed list: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

Question 3
Write a program that inputs two lists and creates a third, that contains all elements of the first
followed by all elements of the second.
Solution
l1 = eval(input("Enter first list: "))
l2 = eval(input("Enter second list: "))
l3 = l1 + l2
print("Joined List:", l3)

Output
Enter first list: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Enter second list: [11, 12, 13, 14, 15]
Joined List: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]

Question 4
Ask the user to enter a list containing numbers between 1 and 12. Then replace all of the entries in
the list that are greater than 10 with 10.
Solution
l = eval(input("Enter list having numbers between 1 & 12: "))
for i in range(len(l)):

1
 if l[i] > 10:
l[i] = 10
print("List after removing numbers greater than 10:")
print(l)

Output
Enter list having numbers between 1 & 12: [1, 3, 15, 8, 20]
List after removing numbers greater than 10:
[1, 3, 10, 8, 10]

Question 5
Ask the user to enter a list of strings. Create a new list that consists of those strings with their first
characters removed.
Solution
l1 = eval(input("Enter a list of strings: "))
l2 = []
for i in range(len(l1)):
l2.append(l1[i][1:])
print("List after removing first characters:")
print(l2)

Output
Enter a list of strings: ["red", "green", "blue", "pink", "cyan"]
List after removing first characters:
['ed', 'reen', 'lue', 'ink', 'yan']

Question 6
Write a program to check if a number is present in the list or not. If the number is present, print the
position of the number. Print an appropriate message if the number is not present in the list.
Solution
l = eval(input("Enter list: "))
n = int(input("Enter number to search: "))
if n in l:
print(n, "found at index", l.index(n))
else :
print(n, "not found in list")

Output
Enter list: [1, 3, 15, 8, 20]
Enter number to search: 15
15 found at index 2

=====================================

Enter list: [1, 3, 15, 8, 20]

Question 8
Write a program that takes any two lists L and M of the same size and adds their elements together
to form a new list N whose elements are sums of the corresponding elements in L and M. For
instance, if L = [3, 1, 4] and M = [1, 5, 9], then N should equal [4,6,13].
Solution
print("Enter two lists of same size")
L = eval(input("Enter first list(L): "))
M = eval(input("Enter second list(M): "))
N = []
for i in range(len(L)):
N.append(L[i] + M[i])
print("List N:")
print(N)

Output
Enter two lists of same size
Enter first list(L): [3, 1, 4]
Enter second list(M): [1, 5, 9]
List N:
[4, 6, 13]

Question 9
Write a program rotates the elements of a list so that the element at the first index moves to the
second index, the element in the second index moves to the third index, etc., and the element in
the last index moves to the first index.
Solution

l = eval(input("Enter the list: "))

Output
Enter the list: [8, 10, 13, 25, 7, 11]
Original List
[8, 10, 13, 25, 7, 11]
Rotated List
[11, 8, 10, 13, 25, 7]

Question 10
Write a program that reads the n to display nth term of Fibonacci series.
The Fibonacci sequence works as follows:
element 0 has the value 0
element 1 has the value 1
every element after that has the value of the sum of the two preceding elements
The beginning of the sequence looks like:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

4
The program prompts for element and prints out the value of that element of the Fibonacci
sequence.
Thus:
input 7, produces 13
input 9, produces 34
Hints: A Don't try to just type out the entire list. It gets big very fast. Element 25 is 75205. Element
100 is 354224848179261915075. So keep upper limit of n to 20.
Solution

n = int(input("Enter n: "))
if (n > 20):
print("n should be less than or equal to 20")
else :
a=0
b=1
c=a+b
for i in range(3, n + 1):
a=b
b=c
c=a+b
print(n, "term of Fibonacci series =", c)
Output

Enter n: 7
7 term of Fibonacci series = 13

=====================================

Enter n: 9
9 term of Fibonacci series = 34

=====================================

Enter n: 25
n should be less than or equal to 20

Question 11a
Write programs as per following specifications:
'''Print the length of the longest
string in the list of strings str_list.
Precondition : the list will contain
at least one element.'''
Solution
l = eval(input("Enter list of strings: "))
largeIdx = 0
largeLen = 0
for i in range(len(l)):
length = len(l[i])
if length > largeLen:
largeLen = length

5
 largeIdx = i
print("Longest String:", l[largeIdx])

Output
Enter list of strings: ["apple", "orange", "pear", "strawberry", "kiwi"]
Longest String: strawberry

Question 11b
Write programs as per following specifications:
'''L is a list of numbers. Print a new list where each element is the corresponding element of list L
summed with number num.'''
Solution
l1 = eval(input("Enter list of numbers: "))
num = int(input("Enter the number to sum with (num): "))
l2 = []
for i in l1:
l2.append(i + num)
print("New list:")
print(l2)
Output
Enter list of numbers: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
Enter the number to sum with (num): 15
New list:
[25, 35, 45, 55, 65]

Question 12
Write a program to read two lists num and denum which contain the numerators and denominators
of same fractions at the respective indexes. Then display the smallest fraction along with its index.
Solution
num = eval(input("Enter numerators list: "))
denum = eval(input("Enter denominators list: "))
small = 0.0
smallIdx = 0
for i in range(len(num)):
t = num[i] / denum[i]
if t < small:
small = t
smallIdx = i
print("Smallest Fraction =", num[smallIdx], "/", denum[smallIdx])
print("Index of Smallest Fraction =", smallIdx)

Output
Enter numerators list: [1, 3, 1, 7, 3]
Enter denominators list: [2, 4, 4, 13, 8]
Smallest Fraction = 1 / 2
Index of Smallest Fraction = 0

Question 13
Write a program to display the maximum and minimum values from the specified range of indexes
of list.

6
Solution
l = eval(input("Enter the list: "))
start = int(input("Enter start index: "))
stop = int(input("Enter stop index: "))
slice = l[start : stop + 1]
mx = max(slice)
mi = min(slice)
print("Maximum =", mx)
print("Minimum =", mi)

Output
Enter the list: [89, 42, 12, 56, 35, 2, 8, 7, 13, 69]
Enter start index: 3
Enter stop index: 8
Maximum = 56
Minimum = 2

Question 14
Write a program to move all duplicate values in a list to the end of the list.
Solution
l = eval(input("Enter the list: "))
dedup = []
dup = []
for i in l:
if i in dedup:
dup.append(i)
else:
dedup.append(i)
l = dedup + dup
print("Modified List:")
print(l)

Output
Enter the list: [20, 15, 18, 15, 7, 18, 12, 13, 7]
Modified List:
[20, 15, 18, 7, 12, 13, 15, 18, 7]

Question 15
Write a program to compare two equal sized lists and print the first index where they differ.
Solution
print("Enter two equal sized lists")
l1 = eval(input("Enter first list: "))
l2 = eval(input("Enter second list: "))
for i in range(len(l1)):
if l1[i] != l2[i]:
print("Lists differ at index", i)
break;
else:
print("Lists are equal")

7
Output
Enter two equal sized lists
Enter first list: [80, 60, 50, 40, 30]
Enter second list: [80, 60, 55, 42, 30]
Lists differ at index 2

=====================================

Enter two equal sized lists
