Question

If L is a list with 6 elements, then which of the following statements will raise an exception?

Options

• L.pop (1)

• L.pop (6)

• L.insert(1,6)

• L.insert(6,1)

Answer 1

L.pop (6)

Explanation:

1. Index Range: A list with 6 elements has indices from 0 to 5.
2. L.pop(6): This tries to remove an element at index 6, which does not exist. This results in an IndexError.
3. L.insert: Unlike pop, the insert method never raises an error; if the index is too high, it simply adds the item to the end of the list.
