Introduction To Programming - Chapter 7

What are the data items in the list called? a. data b. elements c. items d. values

Which list will be referenced by the variable number after the execution of the following code? number = range(0, 9, 2) a. [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] b. [1, 3, 5, 7, 9] c. [2, 4, 6, 8] d. [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]

What would you use if an element is to be removed from a specific index? a. del statement b. remove method c. index method d. slice method

What is the first negative index in a list? a. 0 b. -1 c. -0 d. Size of the string or list minus one

What method can be used to place an item in the list at a specific index? a. append b. index c. insert d. Add

What would be the value of the variable list after the execution of the following code? list = [1, 2] list = list * 3 a. [1, 2] * 3 b. [3, 6] c. [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2] d. [[1, 2], [1, 2], [1, 2]]

What would be the value of the variable list after the execution of the following code? list = [1, 2, 3, 4] list[3] = 10 a. [1, 2, 3, 10] b. [1, 2, 10, 4] c. [1, 10, 10, 10] d. invalid code

What method or operator can be used to concatenate lists? a. * b. + c. % d. concat

What would be the value of the variable list2 after the execution of the following code? list1 = [1, 2, 3] list2 = list1 list1 = [4, 5, 6] a. [1, 2, 3] b. [4, 5, 6] c. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] d. invalid code

What would be the value of the variable list2 after the execution of the following code? list1 = [1, 2, 3] list2 = [] for element in list1 list2.append(element) list1 = [4, 5, 6] a. [1, 2, 3] b. [4, 5, 6] c. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] d. invalid code

When working with multiple sets of data, one would typically use a(n) _____. a. list b. tuple c. nested list d. Sequence

The primary difference between a tuple and list is that _____. a. when creating a tuple you don't use commas to separate elements b. a tuple can only include string elements c. a tuple cannot include lists as elements d. once a tuple is created, it cannot be changed

What is the advantage of using tuples over lists? a. Tuples are not limited in size. b. Tuples can include any data type as an element. c. Processing a tuple is faster than processing a list. d. There is no advantage.

What method can be used to convert a list to a tuple? a. append b. tuple c. insert d. list

What method can be used to convert a tuple to a list? a. append b. tuple c. insert d. list

True/False: Invalid indexes do not cause slicing expressions to raise an exception

True/False: Lists are dynamic data structures such that items may be added to them or removed from them.

True/False: Arrays, which most other programming languages allow, have much more capabilities than list structures.

True/False: A list cannot be passed as an argument to a function

True/False: The remove method removes all occurrences of the item from a list

True/False: The sort method rearranges the elements of a list so they appear in ascending or descending order.

True/False: The first step in calculating the average of the values in a list is to get the total of the values.

True/False: Indexing starts at 1, so the index of the first element is 1, the index of the second element is 2, and so forth.

True/False: The index - 1 identifies the last element in a list

True/False: In slicing, if the end index specifies a position beyond the end of the list, Python will use the length of the list instead.
