Question 1
Which of the following statements about lists, tuples, and dictionaries are correct?
Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
If there are many attributes to describe a complex object and these attributes vary from object to object (in other words, each object has slightly different attributes), then tuples are a good choice.
❌If you have data about students and each data set for a student is structured in the same way (e.g. name, firstname, e-mail), then a list of tuples can be used to handle this data.
✅A dictionary should be chosen if there is a natural key like a student-ID or a unique number.
✅The data type for complex data should be carefully chosen, as this decision has an impact on the implementation of the program.
✅Tuples of lists is an often used pattern in programming.
❌Question 2
What is the value of variable a after the following statements have been executed?
