Questions and Answers

What is the output of the following code: a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; b = a[:]; print(b)

  • It will print: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] (correct)
  • It will print: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
  • It will throw an error
  • It will print: []
  • What is the purpose of the __init__ method in a Python class?

  • To create a static method
  • To define a class variable
  • To initialize an object's attributes (correct)
  • To override a parent class method
  • What is the difference between break and continue statements in a Python loop?

  • `break` is used in `for` loops, `continue` is used in `while` loops

    Study Notes

    Python Code Output

    • The output of the code a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; b = a[:]; print(b) is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], which is a copy of the original list a.

    Python Class __init__ Method

    • The __init__ method in a Python class is a special method that is automatically called when an object of the class is created.
    • It is used to initialize the attributes of the class.
    • It is a constructor method that sets the initial state of the object.

    Python Loop Control Statements

    • The break statement in a Python loop is used to exit the loop entirely.
    • The continue statement in a Python loop is used to skip the current iteration and move to the next one.

    Python Lambda Function

    • The lambda function in Python is a small anonymous function that can take any number of arguments, but can only have one expression.
    • It is used to create small, one-time use functions.
    • It is often used in combination with other functions such as filter(), map(), and reduce().

    Python Identity and Equality Operators

    • The is operator in Python checks if both variables point to the same object in memory.
    • The == operator checks if the values of both variables are equal.
    • The is operator is used for identity comparison, while the == operator is used for equality comparison.
