Multiple Select

Choose all the statements that are true about traditional arrays ...

• is a sequential data structure

• float

• bool

Multiple Choice

What is the meaning of this list assignment?

• Makes scores a list with no items

• Makes scores a list but says nothing about its contents

• Makes scores = 0

• Makes scores a variable

Fill in the Blanks

If scores = [12, 7, 9, 3, 11, 15, 16]

what is the value of scores[4]

Fill in the Blanks

If names = ['bill', 'ben', 'bri', 'bro', 'baz', 'bud', 'bif']

what is the index position of 'bif'?

Fill in the Blanks

colours = ["red", "green", "blue", "yellow"]

Type the code to add the colour "purple" to the list.

Fill in the Blanks

names = ['bill', 'ben', 'bri', 'bro', 'baz', 'bud', 'bif']

Type the code to remove 'bri' from the list.

Fill in the Blanks

scores = [12, 7, 11, 3, 11, 15, 7, 16]

Type the code to delete the 2nd 11 from the list.

Multiple Select
