Lab description

Lab Overview

Knowing how to manage large amounts of data using the right Python collection types is an important skill that should be mastered!

This Lab is designed to show you how to assess and exploit the correct Python collection types.

  • Exercise 1 - Tuples: Complete the code used to store and manipulate data using Tuples
  • Exercise 2 - Lists: Complete the code used to store and manipulate data using Lists
  • Exercise 3 - Sets: Complete the code used to store and manipulate data using Sets
  • Exercise 4 - Dictionaries: Complete the code used to store and manipulate data using Dictionaries

Note: Each exercise has a provided solution to consult with when needed.

Lab Objectives

Upon completion of this Lab, you will be able to:

  • Write Python code to manage and maintain data within Tuples, Lists, Sets, and Dictionaries
  • Use the terminal to launch and debug Python scripts

You should:

  • Be comfortable with using a browser-based IDE

Lab Environment

This Lab will start with the following AWS resources provisioned automatically for you:

  • A single EC2 instance, named ide.python.platform.instance, which will have a public IP address attached. This instance will host a web-based Python IDE (based on the Visual Code editor).

To achieve the Lab end state, you will be walked through the process of:

  • Using your local browser, access the web-based Python IDE served from the ide.python.platform.instance
  • Completing the following lab exercises:
    • Exercise 1 - Tuples
    • Exercise 2 - Lists
    • Exercise 3 - Sets
    • Exercise 4 - Dictionaries
