    Study Notes

    Checking the Length of a List in Python

    • The valid method to check the length of a list in Python is by using the len() function.

    Inserting an Element at a Specific Index in a List in Python

    • The correct way to insert an element at a specific index in a list in Python is by using the insert() method.

    Data Types in Python

    • A list is a data type that is used to store multiple items in a single variable, and is ordered, changeable, and allows duplicate values.

    Creating a Tuple in Python

    • The correct way to create a tuple in Python is by enclosing the elements in parentheses ().

    Characteristics of Tuples in Python

    • Tuples are ordered and unchangeable data types.

    Accessing Tuple Elements in Python

    • The output of the code thistuple = ('apple', 'banana', 'cherry') print(thistuple[2]) is cherry, which is the element at index 2 in the tuple.

    Data Types in Python

    • A set is a data type that allows duplicates and is unordered.

    Accessing Dictionary Elements in Python

    • The output of the code thisdict = {'brand': 'Ford', 'model': 'Mustang', 'year': 1964} print(thisdict['color']) is an error, because the key 'color' does not exist in the dictionary.

    Calling a Function with Arguments in Python

    • The correct way to call the function my_function with arguments fname='John' and lname='Doe' is by using the syntax my_function(fname='John', lname='Doe').

    Function Definitions in Python

    • The output of the code my_function('Emil') depends on the definition of the function my_function.
    • When you call the function my_function with only one argument, it will execute the function with that argument, but the behavior depends on the function definition.

    Using * before the Parameter Name in a Function Definition

    • The purpose of using * before the parameter name in a function definition is to allow the function to accept a variable number of arguments.

    Sending Arguments to a Function using Key-Value Syntax in Python

    • In Python, you can send arguments to a function using the key-value syntax, such as my_function(key1='value1', key2='value2').

    Function Calls with Lists in Python

    • The output of the code my_function([1, 2, 3]) depends on the definition of the function my_function.

    The Return Statement in a Function

    • The return statement in a function is used to exit the function and return a value to the caller.

    The Pass Statement in Python Function Definitions

    • The purpose of the pass statement in Python function definitions is to act as a placeholder, allowing the function to be defined without a body, and avoid a SyntaxError.
