Preface

This module is one in a collection of modules on Python designed for teaching ITSE 1359 Introduction to Scripting Languages: Python at Austin Community College in Austin, TX.

This module contains review questions and answers keyed to the module titled Itse1359-1100-Indexing and Slicing Tuples .

Once you study that module, you should be able to answer the review questions in this module.

The questions and the answers in this module are connected by hyperlinks to make it easy for you to navigate from the question to the answer and back again.

(Note to blind and visually impaired students: with the exception of two bitmap images that are used solely as spacers to separate the questionsection from the answer section, all of the material in this module is presented in plain text format and should be accessible using an audio screen reader or abraille display.)

Questions

Go to answer 1

Question 2

True or False? A tuple is an ordered collections of arbitrary objects.

Go to answer 2

Question 3

True or False? Tuples work exactly like lists, except that tuples can't be changed in place (they're immutable).

Go to answer 3

Question 4

True or False? Tuples use square brackets for containment.

Go to answer 4

Question 5

True or False? A tuple is a sequence .

Go to answer 5

Question 6

True or False? Tuples can contain other compound objects, including lists, dictionaries, and other tuples. Hence, tuples can be nested.

Go to answer 6

Question 7

True or False? Because a tuple is immutable, the values contained in the objects that are referred to by the contents of the tuple cannot be changed.

Go to answer 7

Question 8

True or False? Just like with a list, the append method can be called to add new items to a tuple.

Go to answer 8

Question 9

True or False? As with strings and lists, items in a tuple are accessed using a numeric index. The first item in a tuple is at index value 0.

Go to answer 9

Question 10

True or False? From a syntax viewpoint, you always create a tuple by placing a sequence of items inside a pair of enclosing parentheses and separating themby commas.

Go to answer 10

Question 11

True or False? The code in Listing 1 produces the output shown in Figure 1 .

Listing 1 . Question 11 code.
aTuple = 3.14,59,"A string",1024 print(aTuple)
Figure 1 . Question 11 possible output.
3.14, 59, 'A string', 1024

Go to answer 11

Question 12

True or False? The code in Listing 2 produces the output shown in Figure 3 .

Listing 2 . Question 12 code.
# File 1359-1100r-12.py #-------------------------------aTuple = 3.14,59,"A string",1024 print(aTuple[4])
Figure 3 . Question 12 possible output.
1024

Go to answer 12

Question 13

True or False? The code in Listing 3 produces the output shown in Figure 5 .

Listing 3 . Question 13 code.
