[Lab] Python Data Structures – Lists, Tuples, Sets, Dictionaries

[Egbe34]

This submission includes solutions for a series of Python data structure exercises that simulate real-world scenarios involving:

Lists – Student Grades:

Collecting and summarizing grades for 5 students.

Extracting specific entries, sorting, and counting occurrences.

Tuples – Fruit Stand Inventory:

Accessing, updating (via conversion), concatenating, slicing, and combining tuples.

Demonstrated tuple immutability and effective management techniques.

Sets – Unique Words from Poems:

Created unique word sets from two poems.

Compared sets to find common and exclusive words.

Dictionaries – Grades & Lookup:

Updated nested dictionary values (Bob’s complaint).

Converted two lists to a dictionary using zip().

Retrieved subject with the minimum score using min() and key.

These exercises demonstrate mastery of Python’s core data structures, as well as practical application of:

zip(), min(), set operations, dictionary access, and list slicing.

All code is tested and includes appropriate comments and print statements for clarity.
