Question

1. indicate whether each method works for strings or lists.

1..lower()
a. string
b. list
2..endswith()
3..append()
4..upper()
5..reverse()
6..startswith()
7..split()

1. rank yourself on a scale of 1 - 4 on how well you completed the lab project for lesson 2.

1 - i looked at it, but didn’t even try it.
2 - i spent a few minutes (about 5) trying to figure it out but gave up.
3 - it mostly works, but there are a couple bugs i haven’t been able to resolve.
4 - it works perfectly without any problems.

1. the function range(4) returns the sequence

1, 2, 3
0, 1, 2, 3
0, 1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, 4

Explanation:

1. The .lower() method is used to convert all characters in a string to lowercase. It only works for strings.
2. The .endswith() method checks if a string ends with a specified suffix. It is for strings.
3. The .append() method is used to add an element to the end of a list. It is for lists.
4. The .upper() method converts all characters in a string to uppercase. It is for strings.
5. In Python, lists have a built - in .reverse() method to reverse the order of elements in the list. Some string - like sequences also have ways to reverse, but the native .reverse() is for lists.
6. The .startswith() method checks if a string starts with a specified prefix. It is for strings.
7. The .split() method splits a string into a list of substrings based on a delimiter. It is for strings.

For the range(4) function in Python, it generates a sequence of numbers starting from 0 and going up to (but not including) 4, so it returns 0, 1, 2, 3.

Answer:

1.

• 1..lower(): a. String
• 2..endswith(): a. String
• 3..append(): b. List
• 4..upper(): a. String
• 5..reverse(): b. List
• 6..startswith(): a. String
• 7..split(): a. String

1. (This is a self - assessment question, no fixed answer)
2. 0, 1, 2, 3
