In Python, 'not in' membership operator evaluates to true if it does not finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. For example >>> a = 10 >>> b = 4 >>> l1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] >>> a not in l1 True >>> b not ... Read More

By definition, tuple object is immutable. Hence it is not possible to remove element from it. However, a workaround would be convert tuple to a list, remove desired element from list and convert it back to a tuple.>>> T1=(1,2,3,4) >>> L1=list(T1) >>> L1.pop(0) 1 >>> L1 [2, 3, 4] >>> T1=tuple(L1) >>> T1 (2, 3, 4)

The built-in functions repr() and str() respectively call object.__repr__(self) and object.__str__(self) methods. First function computes official representation of the object, while second returns informal representation of the object. Result of both functions is same for integer object. >>> x = 1 >>> repr(x) '1' >>> str(x) '1' ... Read More

If L1 and L2 are list objects containing keys and respective values, following list comprehension syntax can be used to construct dictionary object. >>> L1 = ['a','b','c','d'] >>> L2 = [1,2,3,4] >>> d = {L1[k]:L2[k] for k in range(len(L1))} >>> d {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4}
