Answer: 0 2 4 (on separate lines) Solution: In this for-loop, the iteration happens over range(3) which is simply a sequence from 0 to 3 (excluding 3) ie, 0, 1, and 2. So, i gets the values 0, 1, and 2 in the 3 iterations. In each iteration, (i*2) gets printed When i=0, +

Answer: [5, 5, 5] Solution: The value of x is [5]. Observe that it is a list with a single item, 5. Now, what is x * 3? How do you multiply a list with a number? The answer is, python repeats the list. So, [5] * 3 is the items in the list [5], repeated 3 times. +

Answer: True Solution: {1, 2} and {2, 1} are sets. In sets, the order of the elements doesn't matter. A set is like a bag with fruits, shuffled. There is no "first" or "second". The only meaningful question is, "Is this item in the bag or not?" {1, 2} has two items: 1, 2 +

Answer: 3 Solution: The // symbol stands for "floor division". How is that different from the usual / division? / gives you an exact division as a float. // gives the quotient rounded down. Eg. 10 / 3 would be 3.333 10 // 3 is that rounded down to the lower int, ie, 3.

Answer: 0 2 4 (on separate lines) Solution: The for-loop lets you run the same code multiple times with different values. Let's start by understanding range(3) this produces a sequence of numbers: 0, 1, and 2. In each iteration of the for-loop, +

Answer: B Solution: x and y are sets. What does the `-` do on sets? It computes the "set difference". The diagram makes it clear (credit in description): The shaded region is the part of A which is not in B. That is the set difference. +

Answer: 6 Solution: sum() produces the sum of the items of this list. Here it is 3+6+9=18 len() produces the length of the list. Here it is 3 because there are 3 items. The // gets the floor division (division that gives integer result by ignoring the remainder) 18//3 = 6
