Question

A tuple named subject stores the names of different subjects. Write the Python commands to convert the given tuple to a list and thereafter delete the last element of the list.

Hint:

Use list()} to convert a tuple to a list, and pop()} to remove the last element of a list.

Answer 1

# Given tuple
subject = ("Mathematics", "Physics", "Chemistry", "Biology")

# Step 1: Convert the tuple to a list
subject_list = list(subject)

# Step 2: Delete the last element of the list
subject_list.pop()

# Resulting list
print(subject_list)  # Output: ['Mathematics', 'Physics', 'Chemistry']
    

Explanation: A tuple named subject is provided, containing subject names. The list() function converts the tuple to a list: subject_list = list(subject). The pop() method removes the last element from the list: subject_list.pop(). The final list excludes the tuple's last element. Example:

Input tuple: ("Mathematics", "Physics", "Chemistry", "Biology")
Resulting list: ['Mathematics', 'Physics', 'Chemistry']
