Q1.

Explain negative indexing, slicing, index(), append(), remove(), pop(), insert() and sort()

with syntax and example.

1. Negative Indexing:

- Access elements from the end using negative numbers.

- Example:

my_list = [10, 20, 30]

print(my_list[-1]) # Output: 30

2. Slicing:

- Extract part of a list: list[start:end]

- Example:

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

print(my_list[1:4]) # Output: [2, 3, 4]

3. index():

- Returns the index of the first matching item.

- Syntax: [Link](value)

- Example: [10, 20, 30].index(20) -> 1

4. append():

- Adds item to the end.

- Example:

l = [1, 2]

[Link](3) -> [1, 2, 3]

5. remove():
- Removes first occurrence of a value.

- Example:

l = [1, 2, 3]

[Link](2) -> [1, 3]

6. pop():

- Removes and returns item at given index.

- Example:

l = [10, 20, 30]

[Link](1) -> 20, list becomes [10, 30]

7. insert():

- Inserts item at given index.

- Syntax: [Link](index, value)

- Example:

[Link](1, 100) -> [10, 100, 30]

8. sort():

- Sorts list in ascending order.

- Example:

l = [3, 1, 2]

[Link]() -> [1, 2, 3]

Q2. Use of in and not in operators in list + Program to find mean, variance, std dev

# Operators Example

l = [1, 2, 3]
print(2 in l) # True

print(5 not in l) # True

# Program for Mean, Variance, Std Dev

import math

nums = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

n = len(nums)

mean = sum(nums) / n

variance = sum((x - mean) ** 2 for x in nums) / n

std_dev = [Link](variance)

print("Mean =", mean)

print("Variance =", variance)

print("Standard Deviation =", std_dev)

Q3. Explain len(), sum(), max(), min() with examples.

my_list = [10, 20, 30]

print("Length:", len(my_list)) # 3

print("Sum:", sum(my_list)) # 60

print("Max:", max(my_list)) # 30

print("Min:", min(my_list)) # 10

Q4. Explain set() and setdefault() method in dictionary. Program to swap case.

# set()

l = [1, 2, 2, 3]
s = set(l) # {1, 2, 3}

# setdefault()

d = {"name": "John"}

[Link]("age", 25)

# d -> {"name": "John", "age": 25}

# Swap case program

s = "Java"

print([Link]()) # jAVA

Q5. Explain [Link](), [Link]() and list mutability.

import random

# choice()

l = [1, 2, 3]

print([Link](l)) # Random element

# shuffle()

[Link](l)

print(l) # Shuffled list

# Mutable list

l[0] = 100

print(l)

Q6. Define tuple and difference between tuple and list.


Tuple: Immutable, ordered collection. Use ()

List: Mutable, ordered collection. Use []

Example:

t = (1, 2, 3)

l = [1, 2, 3]

l[0] = 10 # Valid

t[0] = 10 # Error (immutable)

Q7. Dictionary methods get(), items(), keys(), values() + List vs Dictionary

student = {"name": "Alice", "age": 20}

print([Link]("name")) # Alice

print([Link]("city", "NA")) # NA

print([Link]()) # dict_items([...])

print([Link]()) # dict_keys([...])

print([Link]()) # dict_values([...])

# List vs Dictionary:

# List: Ordered, accessed by index, e.g. l[0]

# Dict: Unordered, accessed by key, e.g. d["name"]
