Question: Consider a list:
list1=[6,7,8,9]
What is the difference between the following operations on list1?
(i) list1 * 2
(ii) list1 *= 2
(iii) list1 = list1 * 2
Answer: (i) The statement will print the elements of the list twice, i.e. [6, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7, 8, 9]. However, list1 will not be altered.
(ii) This statement will change the list1 and assign the list with repeated elements, i.e. [6, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7, 8, 9] to list1.
(iii) This statement will also have same result as the statement ‘list1 *= 2’. The list with repeated elements, i.e. [6, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7, 8, 9] will be assigned to list1.

Question: Find the errors.
L1=[2, 4, 5, 9]
L2=L1 * 3
L3=L1 +3
L4=L1. pop (5)

Question: Write the suitable method’s name for the below conditions.
(i) Adds an element in the end of list.
(ii) Returns the index of first occurrence.
(iii) Adds contents of list2 to the end of list1.
Answer: (i) append ( ) (ii) index ( ) (iii) extend ( )

Question: Define the replicating lists with an example.
Answer: In Python, you can repeat the elements of the list using (*)
operator. This operator is used to replicate the list.
For example,
>>>l1 = [4, 5, 7, 1]
>>>l2 = l1 * 2
>>>l2
[4, 5, 7, 1, 4, 5, 7, 1]

Question: What is nested list ? Explain with an example.
Answer: Nested lists are list objects where the elements in the lists can be lists themselves.
For example, list1=[45,43,12, ‘Math’, ‘Eng’, [75,34,‘A’],5]
Here, list1 contains 7 elements, while inner list contains
3 elements. list1 is considered [75, 34, ‘A’] as one element.

Question: Consider the following list myList. What will be the elements of myList after the following two operations:

(i) myList.append([50,60])
(ii) myList.extend([80,90]) 
Answer: (i) [10, 20, 30, 40, [50, 60]]
(ii) [10, 20, 30, 40, 80, 90]

Question: In Python, list is a type of container in data structures, which is used to store multiple data at the same time. It can store integer, string as well as object in a single list. Lists are mutable which means they can be changed after creation. Each element of a list is assigned a number its position or index. The first index is 0, the second index is 1, the third index is 2 and so on.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(i) List is defined by which type of bracket?
(ii) List contains a sequence of what type of elements?
(iii) Lists are mutable. What is it mean?
(iv)Which method is also used to create list of characters and integers through keyboard?
(v) How to represent the first index of list?
Answer: (i) []
(ii) Heterogeneous
(iii) Lists are mutable, which means they can be changed
after creation
(iv) list ()
(v) 0

Question: Write a program to read a list of elements. Modify this list, so that it does not contain any duplicate elements, i.e. all elements occurring multiple times in the list should appear only once.
Answer: list1=[]
num=int(input(“Enter the number of elements: ”))
for i in range(num):
x=int(input(“Enter the element: ”))
list1.append(x)
print(“New list: ”)
print(list(set(list1)))

Question: Write a program to read a list of n integers and find their median.
Note The median value of a list of values is the middle one when they are arranged in order. If there are two middle values then take their average.
Hint You can use a built-in function to sort the list.
Answer: num=int(input(“Enter the number of
elements : ”))
list1=list()
for i in range(num):
x=int(input(“Enter the integer: ”))
list1.append(x)
print(“Original list:”,list1)
list1.sort()
print(“Sorted list: ”,list1)
c=len(list1)
if c%2 !=0:
med=c//2
print(“Median: ”,list1[med])
else:
a=list1[c//2]
b=list1[(c//2) − 1]
s=a+b
med=s/2
print(“Median: ”,med)
