Python Containers - Lab

Setup

Use a Python-based repl.it to complete the following exercises...

Exercises

Exercise 1

• Create a list named students containing some student names (strings).
• Print out the second student's name.
• Print out the last student's name.

Exercise 2

• Create a tuple named foods containing the same number of foods (strings) as there are names in the students list.
• Use a for loop to print out the string "food goes here is a good food".

Exercise 3

• Using a for loop, print just the last two food strings from foods.

Exercise 4

• Create a dictionary named home_town containing the keys of city, state and population.
• Print a string with this format:
  "I was born in city, state - population of population"

Exercise 5

• Iterate over the key: value pairs in home_town and print a string for each item, for example:

	"city = Arcadia"
	"state = California"
	"population = 58000"

Exercise 6

• Create an empty list named cohort.
• Using a for loop, add one dictionary to the cohort list for each student name. Each dictionary should have this shape:

{
	'student': 'Tina',
	'fav_food': 'Cheeseburger'
}

• Iterate over cohort printing out each element.

Exercise 7

• Using the list of students and list comprehension, assign to a variable named awesome_students a new list containing strings similar to this:
  ["Tina is awesome!", "Fred is awesome!", "Wilma is awesome!"]
• Iterate over awesome_students printing out each string.

Exercise 8

• Using the tuple foods and list comprehension within a for loop, print each food string that contains the letter a.
