Which Python code correctly uses a conditional expression to assign the string 'positive' to the variable `label` if `value` is greater than 0, and 'non-positive' otherwise?

if value > 0: label = 'positive' else: label = 'non-positive'

label = 'positive' if value > 0 else 'non-positive'

label = if value > 0: 'positive' else: 'non-positive'

label = 'positive' ? value > 0 : 'non-positive'

What is the purpose of using docstrings in Python functions?

To document the function's purpose and usage

To hide the function from other modules

To automatically generate test cases

To make the function run faster

Which loop structure is most appropriate for iterating over a list of data values and printing each value?

while i < len(data_list): print(data_list[i])

for i in range(len(data_list)): print(data_list[i])

while value in data_list: print(value)
