Objective Questions
-------------------

.. A mininum of 8 questions here (along with answers)

1. How do you declare a sequence of numbers in python?
   Give example .
   
   Comma seperated numbers inside two square brackets.

   seq=[1.5,3.2,8.7]


2. Square the following sequence? 
   
   distance_values=[2.1,4.6,8.72,9.03].

   square(distance_values)
   
 

3. How do you plot the data as points using plot function?

   By passing an extra parameter '.'.

.. #[[Anoop: It can better if asked as, How do you plot the data as
   points using plot function?]]

4. Can you comment about the result of this plot command .
   plot(x, y,'o')


   It plots large points.

.. #[[Anoop: give an example and ask what it does, like plot(x, y,
   'o'), that makes the question simple]]

5. How do you plot error in Python?

   Using the function error bar.

6. How do I get large red colour dots on a plot?

   By passing the paramter 'ro'.

7. What are the parameters 'xerr' and 'yerr' in errorbar function for?
   
   xerr - List of error values of variable on x axis.
   yerr - List of error values of variable on y ayis.
   
8. How would you plot error bar with a line?

   The fmt parameter for a line will be '-'.
