Python: Find the second lowest total marks of any student(s) from the given names and total marks of each student using lists and Lambda
Python Collections: Exercise-16 with Solution
Write a Python program to find the second lowest total marks of any student(s) from the given names and marks of each student using lists and lambda. Input number of students, names and grades of each student.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
students = []
sec_name = []
second_low = 0
n = int(input("Input number of students: "))
for _ in range(n):
s_name = input("Name: ")
score = float(input("Total marks: "))
students.append([s_name,score])
print("\nNames and Marks of all students:")
print(students)
order =sorted(students, key = lambda x: int(x[1]))
for i in range(n):
if order[i][1] != order[0][1]:
second_low = order[i][1]
break
print("\nSecond lowest Marks: ",second_low)
sec_student_name = [x[0] for x in order if x[1] == second_low]
sec_student_name.sort()
print("\nNames:")
for s_name in sec_student_name:
print(s_name)
Sample Output:
Input number of students: 3 Name: Avik Das Total marks: 89 Name: ayan Roy Total marks: 75 Name: Sayan Dutta Total marks: 93 Names and Marks of all students: [['Avik Das ', 89.0], ['ayan Roy', 75.0], ['Sayan Dutta', 93.0]] Second lowest Marks: 89.0 Names: Avik Das

The Zip() Function:
>>> students = ('John', 'Mary', 'Mike') >>> ages = (15, 17, 16) >>> scores = (90, 88, 82, 17, 14) >>> for student, age, score in zip(students, ages, scores): ... print(f'{student}, age: {age}, score: {score}') ... John, age: 15, score: 90 Mary, age: 17, score: 88 Mike, age: 16, score: 82 >>> zipped = zip(students, ages, scores) >>> a, b, c = zip(*zipped) >>> print(b) (15, 17, 16)
