You have a queue of tasks represented as a list: ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']. You want to process tasks in order but skip any task labeled 'C'. Which Python code correctly processes this using queue operations?
Awhile queue: task = queue.pop() if task != 'C': print(task)
Bwhile queue: task = queue.pop(0) if task == 'C': queue.append(task) else: print(task)
Cfor task in queue: if task != 'C': print(task)
Dwhile queue: task = queue.pop(0) if task == 'C': continue print(task)
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Process tasks in order

    pop(0) removes from front, preserving order. Loop continues while queue has items.
  2. Step 2: Skip 'C' tasks

    Using continue skips printing 'C' without re-adding it. Other tasks print normally.
  3. Step 3: Check other options

    while queue: task = queue.pop(0) if task == 'C': queue.append(task) else: print(task) re-adds 'C' causing infinite loop; the for loop without removing tasks; pop() from end, reversing order.
  4. Final Answer:

    while queue: task = queue.pop(0) if task == 'C': continue print(task) -> Option D
  5. Quick Check:

    pop(0) + continue skips 'C' correctly [OK]
Quick Trick: pop(0) + continue skips unwanted tasks [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Re-adding skipped tasks causing infinite loop
  • Using pop() removes from end, reversing order
  • Using for loop without modifying queue
