Question

Write a statement that assigns to the variable a tuple that contains the following elements: 42, 56, and 7.

a. a = (42, 56, 7)
b. a = 42, 56, 7
c. a = 42, 56, 7
d. a = "42, 56, 7"

Answer 1

The correct statement to assign the given elements to a tuple is 'a = (42, 56, 7),' using parentheses to create the tuple.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement to assign a tuple containing the elements 42, 56, and 7 to the variable a is:

a = (42, 56, 7)

Options b and c are not valid tuple assignments because they don't use parentheses, and option d assigns a string to the variable a rather than a tuple. In Python, tuples are defined by enclosing the elements within parentheses. Therefore, the correct answer is option a.
