Program Description Answer

A list is a collection that “assigns an index to each element in a list”.

Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Explanation of Solution

List:

  • A list is a collection that stores its element in a location-based order.
  • Each element in a list is related with an index that matches to its location within the list. That is the first element contains index 0, the second element contains index 1 and so on.
  • Storage allocation for the elements of a list takes place in two methods such as contiguous allocation and linked allocation.
    • Continuous allocation:
      • Array-based lists use this allocation.
      • It assigns storage for consecutive list elements in consecutive memory locations.
    • Linked allocation:
      • This allocation does not require consecutive memory locations to store list elements.
      • It uses a pointer to store each element in a list.

Explanation for incorrect options:

A list is a collection that associates index with elements not keys.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

“JList” is a type of Java Swing package. It is a component that shows a set of objects and permits the user to choose more than one element from the list.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Problem 1: Lo Shu Magic Square The Lo Shu Magic Square is a grid with 3 rows and 3 columns. The Lo Shu Magic Square has the following properties: • The grid contains the numbers 1 through 9 exactly.• The sum of each row, each column, and each diagonal all add up to the same number. This is shown in Figure ➔➔➔ "Attached Image" In a python program, you can simulate a magic square using a two-dimensionallist. Write a function that accepts a two-dimensional list as an argumentand determines whether the list is a Lo Shu Magic Square. Test thefunction in a program. Below is the main() function and some globalconstants.
