PEP8 Guidelines Python Clean Coding - String Quotes and Pet Peeves

This video tutorial covers the rules for applying whitespace in Python expressions and statements. It discusses the importance of proper spacing in lists, dictionaries, function calls, and slicing. The tutorial also highlights common mistakes and misconceptions about whitespace usage, emphasizing adherence to professional guidelines.

What is the primary focus of the 'pet peeves' section in the video?

• Spacing in variable declarations

• Spacing in logical operations and function calls

• Spacing in comments

• Spacing in class definitions

When creating a list in Python, where should spaces be avoided?

• Between the square brackets and the elements

• Between the list name and the assignment operator

• Between the list name and the square brackets

• Between the elements and commas

In a dictionary, where is it necessary to include a space?

• Between the colon and the value

• Between the key and the colon

• Between the curly braces and the key

• Between the dictionary name and the assignment operator

What is the correct way to format an expression with multiple operations?

• Spaces around operators and after commas

• Each operation on a new line

• All operations on the same line without spaces

• No spaces around operators

In slicing, where should spaces be avoided?

• Between the brackets and the colons

• Between the start and end indices

• Between the colons and the indices

• Between the variable name and the brackets

What is the role of the final parameter in slicing?

• It specifies the start index

• It specifies the array length

• It specifies the end index

• It specifies the step

What is a common mistake when aligning assignments in code?

• Using too many spaces between the variable and the equals sign

• Not using spaces around operators

• Using spaces between function name and parameters

• Aligning variables vertically with spaces

How should function calls be formatted in terms of whitespace?

• With spaces between each parameter

• With spaces before the function name

• Without spaces between the function name and parameters

• With spaces between the function name and parameters

What is the recommended spacing for assignments according to the guidelines?

• No space between the variable and the equals sign

• One space between the variable and the equals sign

• Two spaces between the variable and the equals sign

• Three spaces between the variable and the equals sign

What is the main reason for avoiding spaces between function calls and parameters?

• To avoid confusion as they are part of the function

• To improve readability

• To follow the style of other programming languages

• To save space in the code
