C. False typo in alpha() The first line of code creates a list with one element, which is ‘alpha;beta;gamma’. However, the delimiter used in the split method is ‘:’ instead of ‘;’, so the list will only contain one element. The second line of code joins all elements in the list into a single string, which will be ‘alpha;beta;gamma’. The third line of code checks if the string ‘alpha;beta;gamma’ contains only alphabetic characters, which is False because it contains ‘;’.

Answer C; #Example_1 the_list='alpha;beta;gamma'.split(":") print(the_list) the_string=''.join(the_list) print(the_string) print(the_string.isalpha()) # Output: # ['alpha;beta;gamma'] # alpha;beta;gamma # False #Example_2 the_list='alpha:beta:gamma'.split(":") print(the_list) the_string=''.join(the_list) print(the_string) print(the_string.isalpha()) # Output: # ['alpha', 'beta', 'gamma'] # alphabetagamma # True

Another question with a possible typo. Is it supposed to be 'isalpha()' or 'isaplpha()'? Using 'isalpha()' gives a False and using 'isaplpha()' gives an error

Only if there is a typo in 'isaplpha()' and it means actually 'isalpha()' the it's C

It outputs: False. Because of .split(":") output of the_list is list with one element ["alpha;beta;gamma"]

The spelling if isalpha() is also wrong in code

C- False: the_list='alpha;beta;gamma'.split(":") >>> the_list ['alpha;beta;gamma'] >>> the_string=''.join(the_list) >>> the_string 'alpha;beta;gamma' >>> print(the_string.isalpha()) False

Hi, check the code twice before give your answers. If you read correctly the code if you execute it you will see that as it's wrote the response is an exception, so the answer is A. Normally, you need to answer as you have in the questionnaire

I agree with roncr, the ; should be : instead. Also isaplpha() should be isalpha(). Once those are corrected it returns True
