Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using min() instead of max()

Using sum() which adds numbers instead of finding max

The max() function returns the largest item in an iterable like a list.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to find the minimum number in the list.

Python

values = [10, 5, 8, 2, 7]
min_value = [1](values)
print(min_value)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using max() instead of min()

Using sorted() which returns a list, not a single value

The min() function returns the smallest item in an iterable.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly find the maximum value.

Python

data = [4, 9, 2, 6]
max_value = max[1]data
print(max_value)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

B{ }

C[

D< >

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using square brackets which are for lists

Using curly braces which are for sets or dictionaries

The max() function requires parentheses around its argument.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary with word lengths only for words longer than 3 letters.

Python

words = ['cat', 'elephant', 'dog', 'lion']
lengths = {word: [1] for word in words if len(word) [2] 3}
print(lengths)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using < instead of > in the condition

Using the word itself instead of its length

The dictionary comprehension uses len(word) to get length and filters words with length greater than 3 using >.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary with uppercase keys and values only for values greater than 0.

Python

data = {'a': 1, 'b': 0, 'c': 3}
result = [1]: [2] for k, v in data.items() if v [3] 0
print(result)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using original keys without uppercase

Using < instead of > in the condition

Using keys as values instead of v

The dictionary comprehension uses k.upper() for uppercase keys, v for values, and filters values greater than 0 with >.
