Higher Order Thinking Questions (HOTS)

Q.1. Write a Python program to create a tuple with three elements. Perform the following operations on the tuple:

• Access the second element of the tuple.
• Calculate the length of the tuple.
• Check if a specific element is present in the tuple.

Example Python program:
my_tuple = (10, 20, 30)

print(my_tuple[1])  # Accessing the second element

print(len(my_tuple))  # Calculating the length of the tuple

print(40 in my_tuple)  # Checking if 40 is present in the tuple

Q.2. Write a Python program to remove duplicate elements from a given tuple.

Example Python program:
my_tuple = (10, 20, 10, 30, 40, 20)

unique_tuple = tuple(set(my_tuple))

print(unique_tuple)

Q.3. Explain the concept of set intersection and set difference operations with an example.

Set intersection and set difference operations:
Set Intersection: The intersection of two sets contains the common elements present in both sets. It can be performed using the intersection() method or the & operator.
Example:
set1 = {1, 2, 3, 4}

set2 = {3, 4, 5, 6}

intersection = set1.intersection(set2)

print(intersection)  # Output: {3, 4}
Set Difference: The difference between two sets contains the elements that are present in one set but not in the other. It can be performed using the difference() method or the - operator.
Example:
set1 = {1, 2, 3, 4}

set2 = {3, 4, 5, 6}

difference = set1.difference(set2)

print(difference)  # Output: {1, 2}

Q.4. Write a Python program to count the frequency of each character in a given string and store the results in a dictionary.

Example Python program:
def count_characters(string):

    char_count = {}

    for char in string:

        char_count[char] = char_count.get(char, 0) + 1

    return char_count

my_string = "Hello, Python!"

result = count_characters(my_string)

print(result)

Q.5. Write a Python function that takes a dictionary as input and returns the key with the maximum value.

def find_max_value_key(my_dict):

    max_value = max(my_dict.values())

    for key, value in my_dict.items():

        if value == max_value:

            return key

my_dict = {"apple": 3, "banana": 5, "orange": 2}

result = find_max_value_key(my_dict)

print(result)

Ans. True

Hands-On Questions

Q.1. Create a tuple named "fruits" with three different fruit names. Print the tuple.

Example Python program:
fruits = ("apple", "banana", "orange")

print(fruits)

Q.2. Create a set named "numbers" with five integer values. Print the set.

Example Python program:
numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Q.3. Create a dictionary named "student" with the following key-value pairs:

• "name": "John"
• "age": 20
• "grade": "A"
  Print the dictionary.

Example Python program:

student = {

    "name": "John",

    "age": 20,

    "grade": "A"

}

print(student)

Q.4. Given the following dictionary:

my_dict = {"apple": 3, "banana": 5, "orange": 2}

Write a program to calculate the total number of fruits.

Example Python program:
my_dict = {"apple": 3, "banana": 5, "orange": 2}

total_fruits = sum(my_dict.values())

print(total_fruits)

Q.5. Write a Python function named "common_elements" that takes two sets as input and returns a new set containing the common elements from both sets.

Example Python function:

    return set1.intersection(set2)

set1 = {1, 2, 3}

set2 = {2, 3, 4}

result = common_elements(set1, set2)

print(result)
