50

2.		What is the output of the following code? numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] def square(x):return x * x squared_numbers = map(square, numbers) print(list(squared_numbers))

[1, 4, 9, 16, 25]

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

[3, 6, 9, 12, 15]

3.		What is the purpose of the map function in Python?

It applies a function to each element of an iterable and returns a new iterable

It filters an iterable based on a given function

It converts an iterable to a dictionary

It sorts an iterable based on a given function

4.		What is the purpose of the filter function in Python?

It filters an iterable based on a given function

It converts an iterable to a dictionary

It sorts an iterable based on a given function

7.		What is the difference between function parameters and arguments in Python?

There is no difference

Parameters are values passed to a function, whereas arguments are variables defined within a function

Arguments are values passed to a function, whereas parameters are variables defined within a function

Parameters and arguments are both variables defined within a function

8.		What is the purpose of the **kwargs parameter in a function definition?

It allows the function to accept a variable number of positional arguments

It allows the function to accept a variable number of keyword arguments

It defines the default arguments for a function

It defines the required arguments for a function

9.		What is the purpose of the *args parameter in a function definition?

It allows the function to accept a variable number of keyword arguments

It allows the function to accept a variable number of positional arguments

It defines the default arguments for a function

It defines the required arguments for a function

10.		What is the output of the following code? def my_function(*args):return sum(args) result = my_function(1, 2, 3, 4) print(result)
