Python 3: Project-based Python, Algorithms, Data Structures - Lists, dicts, sets and tuples - Intro to compound data typ

The video tutorial explains the execution context of Python programs, focusing on global and function frames. It demonstrates how Python handles function calls, local variables, and the differences between immutable and mutable data types. The tutorial also covers how mutable data types like lists affect program execution and variable references, providing practical examples and solutions.

What does Python create when a program is run to manage the execution context?

• A memory frame

• A function frame

• A global frame

• A local frame

How does Python handle a function definition in the global frame?

• It stores it as a function object

• It executes the function immediately

• It ignores the function until called

• It deletes the function

What happens to a function frame after the function execution is complete?

• It is converted to a global frame

• It is discarded

• It is stored for future use

• It is saved as a backup

In the context of function calls, what is a key characteristic of local variables?

• They are automatically saved

• They are accessible globally

• They are immutable

• They are only accessible within the function

What is the result of passing an integer variable to a function in terms of mutability?

• The integer is modified globally

• The integer is deleted

• The integer remains unchanged globally

• The integer is converted to a list

How are mutable data types like lists handled differently in function calls?

• They are copied to a new frame

• They are passed by reference

• They are converted to strings

• They are ignored

What happens when a list is passed to a function and modified?

• A new list is created

• The original list remains unchanged

• The original list is modified

• The list is deleted

How can you prevent a function from modifying the original list?

• By using a different function

• By passing a copy of the list

• By using a global variable

• By using a constant

What is one method to create a copy of a list in Python?

• Using the copy() method

• Using the remove() method

• Using the append() method

• Using the sort() method

What is the outcome of using slice notation to pass a list to a function?

• The function receives a reference

• The function receives a copy

• The function receives an integer

• The function receives a string
