operations on tuples, nested tuples, Dictionaries – operations on dictionary, ordered dictionary,
iteration on dictionary, conversion of lists & strings into dictionary, Sets & frozen sets, looping
techniques on lists & dictionaries, Lamda, filter, reduce, map, list comprehension, iterators and
generators.

MODULE-3: OBJECTS IN PYTHON
