Type A: Short Answer Questions/Conceptual Questions

Question 1
What are tokens in Python? How many types of tokens are allowed in Python? Exemplify your
answer.

Answer

The smallest individual unit in a program is known as a Token. Python has following tokens:

1. Keywords — Examples are import, for, in, while, etc.

2. Identifiers — Examples are MyFile, _DS, DATE_9_7_77, etc.
3. Literals — Examples are "abc", 5, 28.5, etc.
4. Operators — Examples are +, -, >, or, etc.
5. Punctuators — ' " # () etc.

Question 2

How are keywords different from identifiers?

Answer

Keywords are reserved words carrying special meaning and purpose to the language
compiler/interpreter. For example, if, elif, etc. are keywords. Identifiers are user defined names
for different parts of the program like variables, objects, classes, functions, etc. Identifiers are not
reserved. They can have letters, digits and underscore. They must begin with either a letter or
underscore. For example, _chk, chess, trail, etc.

Question 3

What are literals in Python? How many types of literals are allowed in Python?

Answer

Literals are data items that have a fixed value. The different types of literals allowed in Python
are:

1. String literals
2. Numeric literals
3. Boolean literals
4. Special literal None
5. Literal collections

Question 4

Can nongraphic characters be used and processed in Python? How? Give examples to support
your answer.

Answer
Yes, nongraphic characters can be used in Python with the help of escape sequences. For
example, backspace is represented as \b, tab is represented as \t, carriage return is represented
as \r.

Question 5

Out of the following, find those identifiers, which cannot be used for naming Variables or
Functions in a Python program:

 Price*Qty
 class
 For
 do
 4thCol
 totally
 Row31
 _Amount

Answer

 Price*Qty ⇒ Contains special character *

 class ⇒ It is a keyword
 4thCol ⇒ Begins with a digit

Question 6

How are floating constants represented in Python? Give examples to support your answer.

Answer

Floating constants are represented in Python in two forms — Fractional Form and Exponent
form. Examples:

1. Fractional Form — 2.0, 17.5, -13.0, -0.00625

2. Exponent form — 152E05, 1.52E07, 0.152E08, -0.172E-3

Question 7

How are string-literals represented and implemented in Python?

Answer

A string-literal is represented as a sequence of characters surrounded by quotes (single, double or

triple quotes). String-literals in Python are implemented using Unicode.
Question 8

What are operators ? What is their function? Give examples of some unary and binary operators.

Answer

Operators are tokens that trigger some computation/action when applied to variables and other
objects in an expression. Unary plus (+), Unary minus (-), Bitwise complement (~), Logical
negation (not) are a few examples of unary operators. Examples of binary operators are Addition
(+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication (*), Division (/).

Question 9

What is an expression and a statement?

Answer

An expression is any legal combination of symbols that represents a value. For example, 2.9, a +
5, (3 + 5) / 4.
A statement is a programming instruction that does something i.e. some action takes place. For
example:
print("Hello")
a = 15
b = a - 10

Question 10

What all components can a Python program contain?

Answer

A Python program can contain various components like expressions, statements, comments,
functions, blocks and indentation.

Question 11

What are variables? How are they important for a program?

Answer

Variables are named labels whose values can be used and processed during program run.
Variables are important for a program because they enable a program to process different sets of
data.

Question 12
Describe the concepts of block and body. What is indentation and how is it related to block and
body?

Answer

A block in Python, represents a group of statements executed as a single unit. Python uses
indentation to create blocks of code. Statements at same indentation level are part of same
block/suite and constitute the body of the block.

Question 13

What are data types? How are they important?

Answer

Data types are used to identify the type of data a memory location can hold and the associated
operations of handling it. The data that we deal with in our programs can be of many types like
character, integer, real number, string, boolean, etc. hence programming languages including
Python provide ways and facilities to handle all these different types of data through data types.
The data types define the capabilities to handle a specific type of data such as memory space it
allocates to hold a certain type of data and the range of values supported for a given data type,
etc.

Question 14

How many integer types are supported by Python? Name them.

Answer

Two integer types are supported by Python. They are:

1. Integers (signed)
2. Booleans

Question 15

What are immutable and mutable types? List immutable and mutable types of Python.

Answer

Mutable types are those whose values can be changed in place whereas Immutable types are
those that can never change their value in place.

Mutable types in Python are:

1. Lists
2. Dictionaries
 3. Sets

Immutable types in Python are:

1. Integers
2. Floating-Point numbers
3. Booleans
4. Strings
5. Tuples

Question 16

What is the difference between implicit type conversion and explicit type conversion?

Answer

Implicit Type Conversion Explicit Type Conversion

An implicit type conversion is An explicit type conversion is

automatically performed by the compiler user-defined conversion that
when differing data types are intermixed forces an expression to be of
in an expression. specific type.

An explicit type conversion is

An implicit type conversion is performed
specified explicitly by the
without programmer's intervention.
programmer.

Example: Example:
a, b = 5, 25.5 a, b = 5, 25.5
c=a+b c = int(a + b)

Question 17

An immutable data type is one that cannot change after being created. Give three reasons to use
immutable data.

Answer

Three reasons to use immutable data types are:

1. Immutable data types increase the efficiency of the program as they are quicker to access
than mutable data types.
 2. Immutable data types helps in efficient use of memory storage as different variables
containing the same value can point to the same memory location. Immutability
guarantees that contents of the memory location will not change.
3. Immutable data types are thread-safe so they make it easier to parallelize the program
through multi-threading.

Question 18

What is entry controlled loop? Which loop is entry controlled loop in Python?

Answer

An entry-controlled loop checks the condition at the time of entry. Only if the condition is true,
the program control enters the body of the loop. In Python, for and while loops are entry-
controlled loops.

Question 19

Explain the use of the pass statement. Illustrate it with an example.

Answer

The pass statement of Python is a do nothing statement i.e. empty statement or null operation
statement. It is useful in scenarios where syntax of the language requires the presence of a
statement but the logic of the program does not. For example,

for i in range(10):
if i == 2:
pass
else:
print("i =", i)

Type B: Application Based Questions

Question 1

Fill in the missing lines of code in the following code. The code reads in a limit amount and a list
of prices and prints the largest price that is less than the limit. You can assume that all prices and
the limit are positive numbers. When a price 0 is entered the program terminates and prints the
largest price that is less than the limit.

#Read the limit

limit = float(input("Enter the limit"))
max_price = 0
# Read the next price
next_price = float(input("Enter a price or 0 to stop:"))
while next_price > 0 :
<write your code here>
#Read the next price
<write your code here>
if max_price > 0:
<write your code here>
else :
<write your code here>

Answer

#Read the limit

limit = float(input("Enter the limit"))
max_price = 0
# Read the next price
next_price = float(input("Enter a price or 0 to stop:"))
while next_price > 0 :
if next_price < limit and next_price > max_price:
max_price = next_price
#Read the next price
next_price = float(input("Enter a price or 0 to stop:"))
if max_price > 0:
print("Largest Price =", max_price)
else :
print("Prices exceed limit of", limit);

Question 2c

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

keepgoing = True
x=100
while keepgoing :
print (x)
x = x - 10
if x < 50 :
keepgoing = False

Answer

Output

100
90
80
70
60
50

Explanation

Inside while loop, the line x = x - 10 is decreasing x by 10 so after 5 iterations of while loop
x will become 40. When x becomes 40, the condition if x < 50 becomes true
so keepgoing is set to False due to which the while loop stops iterating.

Question 2d

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

x = 45
while x < 50 :
print (x)

Answer

This is an endless (infinite) loop that will keep printing 45 continuously.

As the loop control variable x is not updated inside the loop neither there is any break statement
inside the loop so it becomes an infinite loop.

Question 2e

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

for x in [1,2,3,4,5]:
print (x)

Answer

Output

1
2
3
4
5

Explanation

x will be assigned each of the values from the list one by one and that will get printed.

Question 2f
Predict the output of the following code fragments:

for p in range(1,10):
print (p)

Answer

Output

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

Explanation

range(1,10) will generate a sequence like this [1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. p will be assigned

each of the values from this sequence one by one and that will get printed.

Question 2g

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

for z in range(-500, 500, 100):

print (z)

Answer

Output

-500
-400
-300
-200
-100
0
100
200
300
400
Explanation

range(-500, 500, 100) generates a sequence of numbers from -500 to 400 with each
subsequent number incrementing by 100. Each number of this sequence is assigned to z one by
one and then z gets printed inside the for loop.

Question 2h

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

x = 10
y = 5
for i in range(x-y * 2):
print (" % ", i)

Answer

This code generates No Output.

Explanation

The x-y * 2 in range(x-y * 2) is evaluated as below:

    x - y * 2
⇒ 10 - 5 * 2
⇒ 10 - 10 [∵ * has higher precedence than -]
⇒0

Thus range(x-y * 2) is equivalent to range(0) which returns an empty sequence — [ ].

Question 2i

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

c = 0
for x in range(10):
for y in range(5):
c += 1
print (c)

Answer

Output

50

Explanation
Outer loop executes 10 times. For each iteration of outer loop, inner loop executes 5 times. Thus,
the statement c += 1 is executed 10 * 5 = 50 times. c is incremented by 1 in each execution so
final value of c becomes 50.

Question 2j

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

x = [1,2,3]
counter = 0
while counter < len(x):
print(x[counter] * '%')
for y in x:
print(y * '* ')
counter += 1

Answer

Output

%
*
* *
* * *
%%
*
* *
* * *
%%%
*
* *
* * *

Explanation

In this code, the for loop is nested inside the while loop. Outer while loop runs 3 times and prints
% as per the elements in x in each iteration. For each iteration of while loop, the inner for loop
executes 3 times printing * as per the elements in x.

Question 2k

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

for x in 'lamp':
print(str.upper(x))
Answer

Output

L
A
M
P

Explanation

The for loop extracts each letter of the string 'lamp' one by one and place it in variable x. Inside
the loop, x is converted to uppercase and printed.

Question 2l

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

x = 'one'
y = 'two'
counter = 0
while counter < len(x):
print(x[counter], y[counter])
counter += 1

Answer

Output

o t
n w
e o

Explanation

Inside the while loop, each letter of x and y is accessed one by one and printed.

Question 2m

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

x = "apple, pear, peach"

y = x.split(", ")
for z in y :
print(z)
Answer

Output

apple
pear
peach

Explanation

x.split(", ") breaks up string x into a list of strings so y becomes ['apple', 'pear', 'peach']. The for
loop iterates over this list and prints each string one by one.

Question 2n

Predict the output of the following code fragments:

x ='apple, pear, peach, grapefruit'

y = x.split(', ')
for z in y:
if z < 'm':
print(str.lower(z))
else:
print(str.upper(z))

Answer

Output

apple
PEAR
PEACH
grapefruit

Explanation

x.split(', ') breaks up string x into a list of strings so y becomes ['apple', 'pear', 'peach',
'grapefruit']. The for loop iterates over this list. apple and grapefruit are less than m (since a and
g comes before m) so they are converted to lowercase and printed whereas pear and peach are
converted to uppercase and printed.

Question 3

Find and write the output of the following python code:

for Name in ['Jayes', 'Ramya', 'Taruna', 'Suraj'] :

 print (Name)
if Name[0] == 'T' :
break
else :
print ('Finished!')
print ('Got it!')

Answer

Output

Jayes
Finished!
Ramya
Finished!
Taruna
Got it!

Explanation

The for loop iterates over each name in the list and prints it. If the name does not begin with the
letter T, Finished! is printed after the name. If the name begins with T, break statement is
executed that terminates the loop. Outside the loop, Got it! gets printed.

Question 4(i)

How many times will the following for loop execute and what's the output?

for i in range(-1, 7, -2):

for j in range (3):
print(1, j)

Answer

The loops execute 0 times and the code produces no output. range(-1, 7, -2) returns an empty
sequence as there are no numbers that start at -1 and go till 6 decrementing by -2. Due to empty
sequence, the loops don't execute.

Question 4(ii)

How many times will the following for loop execute and what's the output?

for i in range(1,3,1):
for j in range(i+1):
print('*')

Answer
Loop executes for 5 times.

Output

*
*
*
*
*

Explanation

range(1,3,1) returns [1, 2]. For first iteration of outer loop j is in range [0, 1] so inner loop
executes twice. For second iteration of outer loop j is in range [0, 1, 2] so inner loop executes 3
times. This makes the total number of loop executions as 2 + 3 = 5.

Question 5

Is the loop in the code below infinite? How do you know (for sure) before you run it?

m = 3
n = 5
while n < 10:
m = n - 1
n = 2 * n - m
print(n, m)

Answer

The loop is not infinite. To know this without running it we can analyze how n is changed inside
the loop in the following way:

n=2*n-m

Substituting value of m from m = n - 1,

    n = 2 * n - (n - 1)
⇒n=2*n-n+1
⇒ n = 2n - n + 1
⇒n=n+1

Therefore, inside the loop n is incremented by 1 in each iteration. Loop condition is n < 10 and
initial value of n is 5. So after 5 iterations, n will become 10 and the loop will terminate.

8 hours 30 minutes

Solution

ft = input("Please enter the first time : ")

st = input("Please enter the second time : ")

# Converts both times to minutes

fMins = int(ft[:2]) * 60 + int(ft[2:])
sMins = int(st[:2]) * 60 + int(st[2:])

# Subtract the minutes, this will give

# the time duration between the two times
diff = sMins - fMins;

# Convert the difference to hours & mins

hrs = diff // 60
mins = diff % 60

print(hrs, "hours", mins, "minutes")

Output

Please enter the first time : 0900

Please enter the second time : 1730
8 hours 30 minutes

Please enter the first time : 0915

Please enter the second time : 1005
