Both List and Tuple are called as sequence data types of Python. Objects of both types are comma separated collection of items not necessarily of same type.SimilaritiesConcatenation, repetition, indexing and slicing can be done on objects of both types>>> #list operations >>> L1=[1, 2, 3] >>> L2=[4, 5, 6] >>> ...

Python sequence, including list object allows indexing. Any element in list can be accessed using zero based index. If index is a negative number, count of index starts from end.  As we want second to last element in list, use -2 as index.>>> L1=[1,2,3,4,5] >>> print (L1[-2]) 4

The slice operator in Python takes two operands. First operand is the beginning of slice. The index is counted from left by default. A negative operand starts counting from end. Second operand is the index of last character in slice. If omitted, slice goes upto end.We want last four characters. ... Read More

Concept of variable in Python is different from C/C++. In C/C++, variable is a named location in memory. Even if value of one is assigned to another, it creates a copy in another location.int x=5; int y=x;For example in C++, the & operator returns address of the declared variable.coutRead More

A string contains two integers separated by comma. It is first split in a list of two strings having digits.>>> s="1, 2".split(", ") >>> s ['1', '2']Two items are then converted to integers and used as arguments for complex() function>>> complex(int(s[0]), int(s[1])) (1+2j)This results in unpacking of string of integers ...

Easiest way is to employ two nested for loops. Outer loop fetches each tuple and inner loop traverses each item from the tuple. Inner print() function end=’ ‘ to print all items in a tuple in one line. Another print() introduces new line after each tuple.ExampleL=[(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, ... Read More

List is an ordered sequence of elements. Individual element in list is accessed using index starting with 0 and goes up to length-1. If index goes beyond this range, IndexError exception is encountered.In following example, an infinite loop is used to pop one element at a time. As loop tries ... Read More

You can employ a nested loop to count number of elements in each sublist of a list>>> a=[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]] >>> c=0 >>> for x in a:       for y in x:       c=c+1 >>> c 6

List and Tuple are called as sequence data types of Python. Objects of both types are comma separated collection of items not necessarily of same type. However, main difference between list and tuple is that list object is mutable whereas tuple object is immutable. Immutable object can not be modified ... Read More
