NCERT Chapter 9 List Questions in Python

SUMMARY : NCERT CHAPTER 9 LIST Questions in Python

Lists are mutable sequences in Python, i.e., we can change the elements of the list.

Elements of a list are put in square brackets separated by comma.

A list within a list is called a nested list. List indexing is same as that of strings and starts at 0. Two way indexing allows traversing the list in the forward as well as in the backward direction.

Operator + concatenates one list to the end of other list.

Operator * repeats a list by specified number of times.

Membership operator in tells if an element is present in the list or not and not in does the opposite.

Slicing is used to extract a part of the list.

There are many list manipulation functions including: len(), list(), append(), extend(), insert(),
count(), find(), remove(), pop(), reverse(), sort(), sorted(), min(), max(), sum().

Ans. 5


#In Book no print statement is given for part (iii) and (iv) so actually NO OUTPUT, I am using the print statement in last line of both the parts and writing output accordingly

Q5. Differentiate between append() and extend() functions of list.

Ans.

append( )	extend( )
This function add a single element passed as an argument at the end of the list. The single element can also be a list	This function add all the elements of the list passed as an argument at the end of the given list
for example: list1 = [10,20,30,40] list1.append(50) list1 [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] list1 = [10,20,30,40] list1.append([50,60]) list1 [10, 20, 30, 40, [50, 60]]	for example : list1 = [10,20,30] list2 = [40,50] list1.extend(list2) list1 [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

List Questions in Python

Q6. Consider a list: list1 = [6, 7, 8, 9]
What is the difference between the following operations on list1:
a. list1 * 2
b. list1 *= 2
c. list1 = list1 * 2

Ans. a) This statement will print elements of list1 twice but it does not make any change to list1.

b) This statement will twice the elements in list1 ie list1 will have [6, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7, 8, 9]

c) It produces the same result as statement b)

Q7. The record of a student (Name, Roll No., Marks in five subjects and percentage of marks) is stored in the following list: stRecord = [ ‘Raman’, ‘A-36’ , [56, 98, 99, 72, 69], 78.8 ]

Write Python statements to retrieve the following information from the list stRecord.
a) Percentage of the student
b) Marks in the fifth subject
c) Maximum marks of the student
d) Roll no. of the student
e) Change the name of the student from ‘Raman’ to ‘Raghav’

Ans. a) print(stRecord[3]

b) print(stRecord[2][4]

c) print(max(stRecord[2] ) )

d) print(stRecord[1]

e) stRecord[0] = ‘Raghav’

#I used the print statement to verify the result otherwise you can write without print statement

PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS

List Questions in Python

Q1. Write a program to find the number of times an element occurs in the list.

Ans. 

L = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 2, 4, 5, 2, 4]

Enter value of element to be deleted : 6
List after removing element from specific position is :  [1, 7, 9, 4]

Q9. Read a list of n elements. Pass this list to a function which reverses this list in-place without creating a
