Container Data Type

They can store multiple items (objects), within a

single variable.
Python
Programming

Sequence Data Type

They store collections of elements in a specific

order. It’s also a type of a container
Python
Programming

Mapping Data Type

A mapping data type is a container that

associates keys with values

Programming

List: Sequence Data Type

List is a data type where
you can add multiple
items under one variable
Python
Programming

Advantages of List:
List is dynamic in size
Lists are Hetrogenous

DisAdvantages of List:
Slow Execution
List occupy more space in memory
Python
Programming

How List Store Values in Memory?

\0 shows null character.
This representation uses in
C Language
Python Dont Need this kind
of terminator to show, the
string is end here
Python identifies where
string is going to be end
through its lenght

Practice Questions
Grocery Stock Tracker:
available_stock = ["apple", "milk", "bread", "eggs", "rice", "butter"]
Tasks:
Add "flour" and "sugar" at the end.
Replace "bread" with "brown bread".
Remove "milk" and print the updated list.
Display only the middle 3 items using slicing.

Grocery Stock Tracker:

ticket_prices = [250, 300, 200, 400, 150]
Tasks:
Find the highest and lowest ticket price.
Sort the list in descending order.
Add a new ticket price 350 while keeping the list sorted.
Display only the top 3 expensive tickets.

Practice Questions
Playlist Management:
You have to create a music playlist.
Make a list of 5 songs.
Swap the first and last song to change the playlist order.
Add a new favorite song in the middle.

list and it can not be
changed in any way
once it created. Characterstics:

Practice Questions
Apartment Details:
An apartment listing is stored as a tuple:
apartment = ("Downtown", 3, 2, 45000, "Available")
- Extract and print the location and rent.
- Change the status to "Rented" without modifying the original tuple.

Employee Payroll Record:

Payroll system keeps a tuple: (employee_id, name, base_salary, month, net_pay).

Design data for multiple employees and print the one with the highest salary for a given
month.

Note: Atleast 3 employee records must be created

Sets:
A set is an unordered collection
of items. Every Set element is
unique and must be immutable.
However, a set is mutable.
Characterstics:
UnOrdered
Mutable
No Duplicates
Can’t contain mutable data types

accessing items by indexing or

slicing is not allowed as well as

Practice Questions
A website wants to count how many unique visitors it had in a day.
Every time a user visits, their user_id is logged — but users can visit multiple times.

visits = [101, 102, 103, 101, 104, 102, 105, 103, 105, 106]
Tasks
- Find how many unique visitors visited the site.
- Display the list of unique user_ids (in any order).
- Compare the total visits vs. unique visitors.

Count Distinct Words in a Sentence:

- A user enters a sentence (as a single string).
- Your task is to count how many distinct words are in the sentence.

Assignment
Student Performance Tracker using Dictionaries:

Create a dictionary where:

Keys are student names.
Values are lists of their marks in 3 subjects.

Write a code to:

Add three new students with their marks.
Calculate average marks for each student.
Then add student(s) with the average marks into the dictionary.

Convert the dictionary into a list of tuples and sort it by average marks.
Python
Programming

Assignment
Student Report Generator:

Create a system where users can:

Add student info (name, age, subjects, marks) using input function.
Store info in a dictionary.
Use sets to ensure unique subject names.
Use lists to maintain ordered scores.
Use tuples for immutable personal info (name, age).

Print a summary report at the end.
