Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to return two values from the function.

Python

def get_coordinates():
    x = 10
    y = 20
    return [1]

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

A[x, y]

B(x + y)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Returning a list instead of multiple values.

Returning only one value.

The function returns two values separated by a comma, which Python treats as a tuple.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to unpack the returned values into variables.

Python

def get_name_and_age():
    return "Alice", 30

name, [1] = get_name_and_age()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using only one variable to unpack two values.

Using a variable name that doesn't match the returned data.

The function returns two values, so we unpack them into two variables: name and age.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the function to correctly return multiple values.

Python

def calculate():
    sum = 5 + 3
    diff = 5 - 3
    return [1]

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

A[sum, diff]

Bsum, diff

Csum + diff

D(sum)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Returning a list instead of multiple values.

Returning the sum of the values instead of both separately.

Returning sum, diff returns both values as a tuple, which is the correct way to return multiple values.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a function that returns the square and cube of a number.

Python

def powers(num):
    square = num [1] 2
    cube = num [2] 3
    return square, cube

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

B*

C+

D//

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using multiplication instead of exponentiation.

Using addition or floor division operators.

The exponent operator '**' is used to calculate powers in Python.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps words to their length if length is greater than 3.

Python

words = ["apple", "bat", "car", "door"]
lengths = { [1]: [2] for [3] in words if len([3]) > 3 }

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

Aword

Blen(word)

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the length as the key.

Not filtering words by length.

The dictionary comprehension uses the word as the key and its length as the value, filtering words longer than 3 characters.
