Explanation of Solution
List method “index()”:
- • “index()” method in Python finds an element in the list and outputs the element’s index.
- • This method is useful in finding the position of the given element in the list.
- • The “index()” method takes an element as an input and searches the list for that element appearance and outputs its position.
- • If more than one occurrence of the element is present in the list, then the method outputs the lowest index.
- • If the element is not present in the list, then this method raises a “ValueError” exception.
Syntax:
In Python, “index()” has the following syntax,
element_index = List_name.index(element)
Explanation:
In the above code,
- • The variable “element_index” stores the return value from the “insert()” method.
- • The variable “List_name” represents the name of the list.
- • The variable “element” indicates the element that is going to be searched in the list.
Example program:
Consider the following example that demonstrates the “index()” method...
- b.
Explanation of Solution
List method “insert()”:
- • The “insert()” method in Python adds an element to the list.
- • This method places an element in the list at a given index.
- • This method takes an element and its position as input parameters and places the given element at the indicated position.
- • When the element is inserted in the list, the list size is increased to hold the given element.
- • The element at the current index and the elements following it are moved by one place to the list end.
- • This method never throws an exception even if the index is not a valid value.
- • If the index value that is greater than the list size is specified as element’s position, then this method inserts the element at the list end.
- • If the index value is negative and it indicates an invalid position, then this method places the element at the list beginning.
Syntax:
In Python, “insert()” has the following syntax,
List_name.insert(element_index, element)
Explanation:
In the above code,
- • The variable “List_name” represents the name of the list.
- • The variable “element_index” indicates the position where the “element” to be inserted in the list.
- • The variable “element” indicates the element that is going to be inserted in the list.
Example program:
Consider the following example that demonstrates the “insert()” method...
- c.
Explanation of Solution
List method “sort()”:
- • “sort()” method sorts the list elements.
- • This method arranges the elements in the list in the ascending order.
- • So that the elements in the list are arranged from lower to higher values.
- • This method does not receive any input and does not return a value.
Syntax:
In Python, “sort()” has the following syntax,
List_name.sort()
Explanation:
In the above code,
- • The variable “List_name” represents the list name that is to be sorted.
Example program:
Consider the following example that demonstrates the “sort()” method.
#Function definition
def main():
#Create a list to store the names
mynames_list = ['John', 'Tom', 'David', 'Kim']
#Print message to the user
;&#x...
- d.
Explanation of Solution
List method “reverse()”:
- • “reverse()” method reverses the list elements.
- • This method changes the elements’ orders in the list.
- • So that the list contains the elements in reverse order.
- • This method does not obtain any input and does not output a value.
Syntax:
In Python, “reverse()” has the following syntax,
List_name.reverse()
Explanation:
In the above code,
- • The variable “List_name” represents the list name that is to be reversed.
Example program:
Consider the following example that demonstrates the “reverse()” method.
#Function definition
def main():
#Create a list to store the numbers
mynumbers_list = [1, 15, 11, 21, 12]
#Print message to the user
print('The numbers list before r...

Problem Description: Define the Circle2D class that contains: Two double data fields named x and y that specify the center of the circle with get methods. • A data field radius with a get method. • A no-arg constructor that creates a default circle with (0, 0) for (x, y) and 1 for radius. • A constructor that creates a circle with the specified x, y, and radius. • A method getArea() that returns the area of the circle. • A method getPerimeter() that returns the perimeter of the circle. • • • A method contains(double x, double y) that returns true if the specified point (x, y) is inside this circle. See Figure (a). A method contains(Circle2D circle) that returns true if the specified circle is inside this circle. See Figure (b). A method overlaps (Circle2D circle) that returns true if the specified circle overlaps with this circle. See the figure below. р O со (a) (b) (c)< Figure (a) A point is inside the circle.

- Security in general means the protection of an asset. In the context of computer and network security, explore and explain what assets must be protected within an online university. What the threats are to the security of these assets, and what countermeasures are available to mitigate and protect the organization from such threats. For each of the assets you identify, assign an impact level (low, moderate, or high) for the loss of confidentiality, availability, and integrity.

The two other classes are Attraction and Entertainment.arrow_forwardObject-Oriented Programming In this separate files. ent, you'll need to build and run a small Zoo in Lennoxville. All classes must be created in Animal (5) First, start by building a class that describes an Animal at a Zoo. It should have one private instance variable for the name of the animal, and one for its hunger status (fed or hungry). Add methods for setting and getting the hunger satus variable, along with a getter for the name. Consider how these should be named for code clarity. For instance, using a method called hungry () to make the animal hungry could be used as a setter for the hunger field. The same logic could be applied to when it's being fed: public void feed () { this.fed = true; Furthermore, the getter for the fed variable could be named is Fed as it is more descriptive about what it answers when compared to get Fed. Keep this technique in mind for future class designs. Zoo (10) Now we have the animals designed and ready for building a little Zoo! Build a class…arrow_forward
