After an exception is handled, program control returns to the raise point

4. After an exception is handled, program control returns to the raise point.

Which of the following statements about insertion sort sorting into ascending order is false? 1. Insertion sort is another simple, but inefficient, sorting algorithm. 2. The first iteration of this algorithm takes the second element in the array and, if it's less than the first element, swaps it with the first element. The second iteration looks at the third element and inserts it into the correct position with respect to the first two, so all three elements are in order. 3. Using this algorithm, at the ith iteration, the first i elements of the original array are sorted, but they may not be in their final locations—smaller values may be located later in the array. 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the following statements are false? 1. A file object's readlines method reads an entire text file and returns each line as a string in a list of strings. 2. Calling readlines for a large file can be a time-consuming operation, which must complete before you can begin using the list of strings. 3. Using the file object in a for statement enables your program to process each text line as it's read. 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the following statements is false? 1. Each property defines a getter method which gets (that is, returns) a data attribute's value and can optionally define a setter method which sets a data attribute's value. 2. The @property decorator precedes a property's getter method, which receives only a self parameter. 3. Behind the scenes, a decorator adds code to the decorated function to enable the function to work with data attribute syntax. 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the following statements is false? 1. It may seem that providing properties with both setters and getters has no benefit over accessing the data attributes directly, but there are subtle differences. 2. A getter seems to allow clients to read the data at will, but the getter can control the formatting of the data. 3. A setter can scrutinize attempts to modify the value of a data attribute to prevent the data from being set to an invalid value. 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the following statements is false? 1. String methods lower and upper can convert strings to all lowercase or all uppercase letters, respectively. 2. Method capitalize copies the original string and returns a new string with only the first letter capitalized (sometimes called sentence capitalization). 3. Method title copies the original string and returns a new string with only the first character of each word capitalized (sometimes called book-title capitalization). 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the following statements is false? 1. The array method copy returns a new array object with a deep copy of the original array object's data. 2. Assuming numbers is an array of integers, the following statement creates a deep copy of that array: import numpy as np numbers = np.arange(1, 6) numbers2 = numbers.copy() 3. After the statement in Part (b) executes, numbers2 has a separate copy of the data in numbers. 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the following statements is false? 1. Time series are sequences of values called observations associated with points in time. 2. Some examples of time series are daily closing stock prices, hourly temperature readings, the changing positions of a plane in flight, annual crop yields, quarterly company profits, and the stream of time-stamped tweets coming from Twitter users worldwide. 3. You can use simple linear regression to make predictions from time series data. 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the following statements is false? 1. You'll use lots of classes created by other people. 2. You can create your own custom classes. 3. Core technologies of object-oriented programming are classes, objects, inheritance and polymorphism. 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the following statements is false? 1. Calculating the mean of an array totals all of its elements regardless of its shape, then divides by the total number of elements. 2. You can perform array calculations on each array dimension as well. For example, in a two-dimensional array, you can calculate each row's mean or each column's mean. 3. The array methods sum, min, max, mean, std(standard deviation) and var (variance) are each functional-style programming reductions. 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the following statements is false? 1. With DataFrames you can specify custom indexes with the index keyword argument when we create a DataFrame, as in: grades_dict = {'Wally': [87, 96, 70], 'Eva': [100, 87, 90],'Sam': [94, 77, 90], 'Katie': [100, 81, 82],'Bob': [83, 65, 85]} import pandas as pd pd.DataFrame(grades_dict, index=['Test1', 'Test2', 'Test3']) 2. The following code uses the index attribute to change the DataFrame's indexes from sequential integers to labels: grades.index = ['Test1', 'Test2', 'Test3'] 3. When specifying the indexes, you must provide a one-dimensional collection that has the same number of elements as there are rows in the DataFrame; otherwise, a ValueError occurs. 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the statements is false? 1. Most resources that require explicit release, such as files, network connections and database connections, have potential exceptions associated with processing those resources. 2. A program that processes a file might raise IOErrors. For this reason, robust file-processing code normally appears in a try suite containing a with statement to guarantee that the resource gets released. 3. When a with statement is in a try suite, you can catch in except handlers any exceptions that occur and you do not need a finally clause because the with statement handles resource deallocation. 4. All of the above statements are true

4. All of the above statements are true

Which of the following statements about Numpy's linspance function is false? 1. You can produce evenly spaced floating-point ranges with linspace. 2. The function's first two arguments specify the starting and ending values in the range, and the ending value is included in the array. 3. The optional keyword argument num specifies the number of evenly spaced values to produce—this argument's default value is 50. 4. All of the above statements are true.
