Python Question – Velocity Bigdata Batch

Q) What is the difference between mutable and immutable.

Mutable objects: They can’t be updated once defined. eg- tuples

Immutable objects: They can be updated when required. eg- list

Q) How to access an element of a list?

The element in a list can be accessed using list_name [index]. For instance-

Given a list [1, 2, 3, 4]

Q)Convert a given string to int using a single line of code.

We can convert a given string to an integer using a built-in function int(). e.g.-

a = ‘5’

print(int(a))

Q)Convert following list to String.

s = ['I', 'want', 4, 'apples', 'and', 18, 'bananas']

# using list comprehension

listToStr = ' '.join([str(elem) for elem in s])

print(listToStr)

o/p  I want 4 apples and 18 bananas

Q19) Write a program to check whether the given two strings are
anagrams or not?
Two strings are said to be anagrams iff both are having same content irrespective of
characters position.

Eg: lazy and zaly

1) s1=input("Enter first string:")

2) s2=input("Enter second string:")
3) if(sorted(s1)==sorted(s2)):
4) print("The strings are anagrams.")
5) else:
6) print("The strings aren't anagrams.")

Output: py test.py Enter

first string:lazy
Enter second string:zaly
The strings are anagrams.

py test.py Enter first

string:velocity Enter second
string: danger
The strings aren't
anagrams.

3) print('The given string is palindrome')
4) else:
5) print('The given string is not palindrome')
