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 '-'.
