Quiz 5: Mutable List Operations and List Processing

Learning Goals

Note: Drawing list diagrams will not be tested on Quiz 5. It will be tested in Quiz 6. However, understanding that lists can be shared/aliased will be tested in Quiz 5

Students should be able to:

• Predict the effect of indexing list structures (including nested lists) using both nonnegative and negative indices.
• Write indexes for specific elements in nested list structures.
• Define mutable and immutable
• Give examples of mutable and immutable values in Python
• Understand how lists are mutated by: slot assignment, .append, .pop, and .insert
• Understand the consequences of sharing/aliasing lists
• Understand and write loops that accumulate lists via .append or list concatenation, including those using the mapping and/or filtering patterns.
• Translate into Python list accumulation algorithms expressed in English
