Question

1. what will be displayed by the following program?

values = 7, 4, 5, 2, 8, 6, 4, 3
v = values00
for lst in values:
for element in lst:
if v > element:
v = element
print(v)
4
2
7
8
6

1. examine the lines of code below. fill in the blank with the correct value of the bolded and underlined %s.

name = alice
event = party
where = the pool
day = saturday
time = 6:00pm
print(hello, %s. will you go to the %s at %s this %s at %s? % (name, event, where, day, time))

Explanation:

Step1: Initialize variable v

The variable v is initialized with values[0][0], which is 7 as values = [[7, 4, 5, 2], [8, 6, 4, 3]] and values[0][0] accesses the first element of the first sub - list.

Step2: First outer loop iteration

The outer for lst in values loop starts. When lst = [7, 4, 5, 2], the inner for element in lst loop iterates. When element = 4, since 7>4, v is updated to 4.

Step3: Continue inner loop iteration

When element = 5, 4<5 so v remains 4. When element = 2, since 4>2, v is updated to 2.

Step4: Second outer loop iteration

When lst = [8, 6, 4, 3], for element = 8, 2<8 so v remains 2. For element = 6, 2<6 so v remains 2. For element = 4, 2<4 so v remains 2. For element = 3, 2<3 so v remains 2.

for question 4:
The %s in the print statement is a placeholder for string values. The values are inserted in the order they are passed in the tuple after the % operator. The first %s is replaced with the value of name which is Alice.
