Q1. What is the difference between a Python tuple and Python list?

• Tuples can be expanded after they are created and lists cannot
• Lists maintain the order of the items and tuples do not maintain order
• Lists are indexed by integers and tuples are indexed by strings
• Lists are mutable and tuples are not mutable

Q3. What will end up in the variable y after this code is executed?

x , y = 3, 4

• 3
• A two item list
• 4
• A two item tuple
• A dictionary with the key 3 mapped to the value 4

Q4. In the following Python code, what will end up in the variable y?

tmp = list()

for k, v in c.items() :    

tmp.append( (v, k) )

• It creates a list of tuples where each tuple is a value, key pair
• It computes the average of all of the values in the dictionary
• It sorts the dictionary based on its key values
• It computes the largest of all of the values in the dictionary

c = {'a':10, 'b':1, 'c':22}

for k, v in c.items() :   

 ...

• Because the keys for the dictionary are strings
• Because for each item we want the previous and current key
