If you have not solved the above exercises, please complete them to understand and practice each topic in detail. After that, you can solve the below questions quickly.

Exercise 1: Reverse each word of a string

Expected Output

• Use the split() method to split a string into a list of words.
• Reverse each word from a list
• finally, use the join() function to convert a list into a string

Steps to solve this question:

• Split the given string into a list of words using the split() method
• Use a list comprehension to create a new list by reversing each word from a list.
• Use the join() function to convert the new list into a string
• Display the resultant string

# Exercise to reverse each word of a string def reverse_words(Sentence): # Split string on whitespace words = Sentence.split(" ") # iterate list and reverse each word using ::-1 new_word_list = [word[::-1] for word in words] # Joining the new list of words res_str = " ".join(new_word_list) return res_str # Given String str1 = "My Name is Jessa" print(reverse_words(str1)) 

Exercise 2: Read text file into a variable and replace all newlines with space

Given: Assume you have a following text file (sample.txt).

Line1 line2 line3 line4 line5

Expected Output:

Line1 line2 line3 line4 line5

• First, read a text file.
• Next, use string replace() function to replace all newlines ( \n ) with space ( ‘ ‘ ).

Steps to solve this question: —

• First, open the file in a read mode
• Next, read all content from a file using the read() function and assign it to a variable.
• Next, use string replace() function to replace all newlines ( \n ) with space ( ‘ ‘ ).
• Display final string

with open('sample.txt', 'r') as file: data = file.read().replace('\n', ' ') print(data)

Exercise 3: Remove items from a list while iterating

Description:

In this question, You need to remove items from a list while iterating but without creating a different copy of a list.

Remove numbers greater than 50

number_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100]

Expected Output: —

• Get the list’s size
• Iterate list using while loop
• Check if the number is greater than 50
• If yes, delete the item using a del keyword
• Reduce the list size

Solution 1: Using while loop

number_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100] i = 0 # get list's size n = len(number_list) # iterate list till i is smaller than n while i < n: # check if number is greater than 50 if number_list[i] >50: # delete current index from list del number_list[i] # reduce the list size n = n - 1 else: # move to next item i = i + 1 print(number_list)

Solution 2: Using for loop and range()

number_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100] for i in range(len(number_list) - 1, -1, -1): if number_list[i] > 50: del number_list[i] print(number_list)

Exercise 4: Reverse Dictionary mapping

Expected Output:

ascii_dict = # Reverse mapping new_dict = print(new_dict)

Exercise 5: Display all duplicate items from a list

sample_list = [10, 20, 60, 30, 20, 40, 30, 60, 70, 80]

Expected Output: —

1. Use the counter() method of the collection module.
2. Create a dictionary that will maintain the count of each item of a list. Next, Fetch all keys whose value is greater than 2

Solution 1: — Using collections.Counter()

import collections sample_list = [10, 20, 60, 30, 20, 40, 30, 60, 70, 80] duplicates = [] for item, count in collections.Counter(sample_list).items(): if count > 1: duplicates.append(item) print(duplicates)

sample_list = [10, 20, 60, 30, 20, 40, 30, 60, 70, 80] exist = <> duplicates = [] for x in sample_list: if x not in exist: exist[x] = 1 else: duplicates.append(x) print(duplicates)

Exercise 6: Filter dictionary to contain keys present in the given list

# Dictionary d1 = # Filter dict using following keys l1 = ['A', 'C', 'F']

Expected Output: —

# Dictionary d1 = # Filter dict using following keys l1 = ['A', 'C', 'F'] new_dict = print(new_dict)

Exercise 7: Print the following number pattern

1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 5

Refer to Print patterns in Python to solve this question.

• set x = 0
• Use two for loops
• The outer loop is reverse for loop from 5 to 0
• Increment value of x by 1 in each iteration of an outer loop
• The inner loop will iterate from 0 to the value of i of the outer loop
• Print value of x in each iteration of an inner loop
• Print newline at the end of each outer loop

rows = 5 x = 0 # reverse for loop from 5 to 0 for i in range(rows, 0, -1): x += 1 for j in range(1, i + 1): print(x, end=' ') print('\r')

Exercise 8: Create an inner function

Question description: —

• Create an outer function that will accept two strings, x and y . ( x= ‘Emma’ and y = ‘Kelly’ .
• Create an inner function inside an outer function that will concatenate x and y.
• At last, an outer function will join the word ‘developer’ to it.

Expected Output: —

def manipulate(x, y): # concatenate two strings def inner_fun(x, y): return x + y z = inner_fun(x, y) return z + 'Developers' result = manipulate('Emma', 'Kelly') print(result) 

Exercise 9: Modify the element of a nested list inside the following list

Change the element 35 to 3500

list1 = [5, [10, 15, [20, 25, [30, 35], 40], 45], 50]

Expected Output: —

[5, [10, 15, [20, 25, [30, 3500], 40], 45], 50]

list1 = [5, [10, 15, [20, 25, [30, 35], 40], 45], 50] # modify item list1[1][2][2][1] = 3500 # print final result print(list1) # print(list1[1]) = [10, 15, [20, 25, [30, 400], 40], 45] # print(list1[1][2]) = [20, 25, [30, 400], 40] # print(list1[1][2][2]) = [30, 40] # print(list1[1][2][2][1]) = 40

Exercise 10: Access the nested key increment from the following dictionary

emp_dict = < "company": < "employee": < "name": "Jess", "payable": < "salary": 9000, "increment": 12 >> > > print(emp_dict['company']['employee']['payable']['increment'])
