Question

1. what does the .split() method do? it changes a long string into a list, with each word separated by a space making up a single list item. it breaks up a list into two or more lists. the arguments you pass into it determine where the split occurs and what the names of the lists will be. splits up a function in two parts so that the computer can evaluate it quicker. 11. which of the following statements create a dictionary? select all correct responses. d = {45:\john\, 48:\peter\} d = {\john\:45, \peter\:48} d = {} d = (45:\john\, 48:\peter\) 12. will the following code return true or false? anchovies in pizza should never have anchovies. true false 13. suppose d1 = {\peter\:50, \john\:60} and d2 = {\peter\:301, \john\:60}, d1 > d2 will return ____ an error message true false

Explanation:

1. In programming (specifically in languages like Python), the .split() method on a string splits the string into a list where each word (separated by a space by default) becomes an item in the list.
2. In Python, a dictionary is created using curly - braces {} with key - value pairs separated by colons :. The first three options are valid ways to create dictionaries. The fourth option with parentheses is incorrect as parentheses are used for tuples, not dictionaries.
3. The in keyword in Python is used to check if a substring is present in a string. Here, the word 'anchovies' is present in the given sentence.
4. Dictionaries in Python do not support direct comparison using the > operator. This will result in an error message.

Answer:

1. It changes a long string into a list, with each word separated by a space making up a single list item.
2. d = {45:"john", 48:"peter"}, d = {"john":45, "peter":48}, d = {}
3. True
4. An error message
