a) [2, 3, 9]
b) [1, 2, 4, 3, 8, 9]
c) [1, 4, 8]
d) (1, 4, 8)

8. What will be the output of the following Python code?
-
>>>t1 = (1, 2, 4, 3)
-
>>>t2 = (1, 2, 3, 4)
-
>>>t1 < t2
a) True
b) False
c) Error
d) None
Answer: b
Clarification: Elements are compared one by one in this case.
9. What will be the output of the following Python code?
-
>>>my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4)
-
>>>my_tuple.append( (5, 6, 7) )
-
>>>print len(my_tuple)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 5
d) Error
Answer: d
Clarification: Tuples are immutable and don’t have an append method. An exception is thrown in this case.
10. What will be the output of the following Python code?
-
numberGames = {}
-
numberGames[(1,2,4)] = 8
-
numberGames[(4,2,1)] = 10
-
numberGames[(1,2)] = 12
-
sum = 0
-
for k in numberGames:
-
sum += numberGames[k]
-
print len(numberGames) + sum
a) 30
b) 24
c) 33
d) 12
Answer: c
Clarification: Tuples can be used for keys into dictionary. The tuples can have mixed length and the order of the items in the tuple is considered when comparing the equality of the keys.
