x = 10
y = "5"
result = x + int(y)
print(result)
int(y) converts the string '5' to an integer, and then the addition results in 10 + 5 = 15.
my_string = "Python"
print(my_string[1:5:2])
The slicing syntax [start:stop:step] is used, selecting characters from index 1 to 5 with a step of 2.
my_string[1:5:2] slices the string my_string starting from index 1 (inclusive) up to index 5 (exclusive), with a step size of 2.
So, it selects characters at indices 1 and 3 (1+step-size) (skipping index 5), which are 'y' and 'h' respectively.
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
print(my_tuple[-2:])
my_tuple[-2:] slices the tuple my_tuple starting from the second-to-last element (index -2) to the end of the tuple.
So, it selects elements at indices -2 and -1, which are 4 and 5 respectively, resulting in the tuple (4, 5).
min() function in Python do?The min() function is used to find the smallest value in a list or tuple.
For example, if you have the following list:
list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]You can use the min() function to find the smallest element in the list, which would be 1.
The min() function can be useful for a variety of tasks, such as finding the smallest value in a dataset, or finding the smallest number of items in a stock.
