1. Create a list named fishes that contains “catfish”, “perch”, “cod” and “carp”
2. Show the last element of the list using two different ways.
3. Change the second element of the list by another fish name.
4. Print the modified list.

Right Answer:

# Step 1 fishes = ["catfish", "perch", "cod", "carp"] # Step 2 print(fishes[-1]) # Output: carp (using negative index) print(fishes[3]) # Output: carp (using positive index) # Step 3 fishes[1] = "salmon" # Changing the second element to "salmon" # Step 4 print(fishes) # Output: ['catfish', 'salmon', 'cod', 'carp']

1. Create a list named integers that contains 0, 1 and 3.
2. Add the number 4 to the end of the list using two different methods.
3. Add the number 2 in the list at the correct index to get a sequence.
4. Print the list, it should display 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
5. Create a new list that contains 5, 6, 7 and 8.
6. Add this new list at the end of the integers list.
7. Remove the number 0 from the list.

Right Answer:

# Step 1 integers = [0, 1, 3] # Step 2 integers.append(4) # Method 1: Using append() integers += [4] # Method 2: Using += operator # Step 3 integers.insert(2, 2) # Insert 2 at the correct index to create a sequence # Step 4 print(integers) # Output: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] # Step 5 new_list = [5, 6, 7, 8] # Step 6 integers.extend(new_list) # Adding the new list at the end of the integers list # Step 7 integers.remove(0) # Removing the number 0 from the list print(integers) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

1. Create a list named first_list that contains 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4.
2. Create a new list named copy_list by doing copy_list = first_list.
3. Modify the last element of copy_list.
4. Print first_list.
5. What happened ?
6. Find a way to correctly copy the first_list.

Right Answer:

# Step 1 first_list = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] # Step 2 copy_list = first_list # This is an assignment, not a true copy # Step 3 copy_list[-1] = 9 # Modify the last element of copy_list # Step 4 print(first_list) # Output: [0, 1, 2, 3, 9] # Step 5 - Explanation # Both `first_list` and `copy_list` refer to the same list in memory, so changes to one affect the other. # Step 6 - Correct way to copy the list copy_list = first_list.copy() # Use the .copy() method for a true copy # Verifying by modifying copy_list again copy_list[-1] = 8 print(first_list) # Output: [0, 1, 2, 3, 9] (no change in first_list) print(copy_list) # Output: [0, 1, 2, 3, 8] (change only in copy_list)

1. Create a list named matrix that contains:
[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9]
2. Print the element 8.
3. Print the second row of the matrix, i.e. 4, 5 and 6.
4. Print the third column of the matrix, i.e. 3, 6 and 9.
5. Print the diagonal of the matrix, i.e., 1, 5 and 9.

Right Answer:

# Step 1 matrix = [ [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9] ] # Step 2 print(matrix[2][1]) # Output: 8 # Step 3 print(matrix[1]) # Output: [4, 5, 6] # Step 4 third_column = [row[2] for row in matrix] print(third_column) # Output: [3, 6, 9] # Step 5 diagonal = [matrix[i][i] for i in range(len(matrix))] print(diagonal) # Output: [1, 5, 9]

1. Create a list named mylist that contains ‘abc’, False, 1 and 3.14159.
2. Change False and 1 to True and 0 in one operation.
3. Extract the element ‘abc’ from the list and assign it to a variable in one operation.
4. Print that variable.
5. Assign the 3 list elements into 3 variables in one operation.
6. Print these variables.

Right Answer:

# Step 1 mylist = ['abc', False, 1, 3.14159] # Step 2 mylist[1:3] = [True, 0] # Change False and 1 to True and 0 # Step 3 abc_var = mylist.pop(0) # Extract 'abc' and assign it to abc_var print(abc_var) # Output: 'abc' # Step 4 var1, var2, var3 = mylist # Assign the remaining list elements to variables # Step 5 print(var1, var2, var3) # Output: True, 0, 3.14159

1. Create a list named fruits containing the following items: "apple", "banana", "cherry".
2. Print the list to ensure it has been created correctly.
3. Create a tuple named vegetables containing the items: "carrot", "broccoli", "lettuce".
4. Print the tuple.

Right Answer:

# Step 1 fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] # Step 2 print(fruits) # Output: ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'] # Step 3 vegetables = ("carrot", "broccoli", "lettuce") # Step 4 print(vegetables) # Output: ('carrot', 'broccoli', 'lettuce')

You can’t use any loop for this exercise.
1. Create a list named numbers that contains 3, 4, 5, 1 and 2.
2. Ask the user to input a number.
3. Compare the user's number to the maximum of the list.
4. Print whether it is higher or lower than the maximum of the list.
5. Do the same using another method.

Right Answer:

# Step 1 numbers = [3, 4, 5, 1, 2] # Step 2 user_number = int(input("Enter a number: ")) # Step 3 if user_number > max(numbers): print("Your number is higher than the maximum of the list.") else: print("Your number is lower than or equal to the maximum of the list.") # Step 5 - Alternative method maximum = sorted(numbers)[-1] # Sorting to find the max value if user_number > maximum: print("Your number is higher than the maximum of the list.") else: print("Your number is lower than or equal to the maximum of the list.")

1. Create a list named floats that contains 1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4, 5.5, 6.6, 7.7 and 8.8
2. Use slicing to get the elements 2.2, 3.3 and 4.4 in one operation.
3. Use slicing to get the elements from 3.3 to the end of the list.
4. Use slicing to get the elements from the start of the list to 5.5 included.
5. Use slicing to reverse the list.

Right Answer:

# Step 1 floats = [1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4, 5.5, 6.6, 7.7, 8.8] # Step 2 print(floats[1:4]) # Output: [2.2, 3.3, 4.4] # Step 3 print(floats[2:]) # Output: [3.3, 4.4, 5.5, 6.6, 7.7, 8.8] # Step 4 print(floats[:5]) # Output: [1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4, 5.5] # Step 5 print(floats[::-1]) # Output: [8.8, 7.7, 6.6, 5.5, 4.4, 3.3, 2.2, 1.1]

1. Create a list named sports that contains "Football", "Basketball", "Swimming" and
"Tennis".
2. Ask the user for their favorite sport.
3. Print "We love that too!" if the user's favorite sport is in the list.

Right Answer:

# Step 1 sports = ["Football", "Basketball", "Swimming", "Tennis"] # Step 2 favorite_sport = input("Enter your favorite sport: ") # Step 3 if favorite_sport in sports: print("We love that too!") else: print("That's a great sport, but not on our list.")
