Q1. Discuss how programming errors can be classified into three distinct types: syntax errors, runtime
…...errors, and logic errors, and explain the key characteristics of each. Provide a Python code snippet
…...that demonstrates each of these error types.

Q2. Rewrite the following Python code to convert it into the preferred format for handling multiple
……alternatives.

# Prompt the user to enter weight in pounds

weight = eval(input("Enter weight in pounds: "))

# Prompt the user to enter height in inches

height = eval(input("Enter height in inches: "))

KILOGRAMS_PER_POUND = 0.45359237 # Constant

METERS_PER_INCH = 0.0254 # Constant

# Compute BMI
weightInKilograms = weight * KILOGRAMS_PER_POUND
heightInMeters = height * METERS_PER_INCH
bmi = weightInKilograms / (heightInMeters * heightInMeters)

# Display result
print("BMI is", format(bmi, ".2f"))

if bmi < 18.5:

print("Underweight")
else:
if bmi < 25:
print("Normal")
else:
if bmi < 30:
print("Overweight")
else:
print("Obese")

Q3. Identify and list some common built-in Python functions that are frequently used within for loop
…...scenarios for data processing and manipulation.
