Functions

Name the built-in function / method

Q1 Name the built-in mathematical function / method that is used to return an
absolute value of a number. (1)
A1 abs()

Q1 What do you understand by local and global scope of variables? How can you
access a global variable inside the function, if function has a variable with same
name. (2)
A1 A global variable is a variable that is accessible globally. A local variable is one
that is only accessible to the current scope, such as temporary variables used in a
single function definition.
A variable declared outside of the function or in global scope is known as global
variable. This means, global variable can be accessed inside or outside of the
function where as local variable can be used only inside of the function. We can
access by declaring variable as global A. (2)
Q2 Differentiate between actual parameter(s) and a formal parameter(s) with a
suitable example for each.
A2 The list of identifiers used in a function call is called actual parameter(s) whereas
the list of parameters used in the function definition is called formal parameter(s).
Actual parameter may be value / variable or expression.
Formal parameter is an identifier.
Example:
def area(side): # line 1
return side*side;
print(area(5)) # line 2
In line 1, side is the formal parameter and in line 2, while invoking area() function, the
value 5 is the actual parameter.
A formal parameter, i.e. a parameter, is in the function definition. An actual
parameter, i.e. an argument, is in a function call.
Q3 Explain the use of global key word used in a function with the help of a suitable
example. (2)
A3 Use of global key word:

1
In Python, global keyword allows the programmer to modify the variable outside the
current scope. It is used to create a global variable and make changes to the
variable in local context. A variable declared inside a function is by default local and
a variable declared outside the function is global by default. The keyword global is
written inside the function to use its global value. Outside the function, global
keyword has no effect.
Example
c = 10 # global variable
def add():
global c
c = c + 2 # global value of c is incremented by 2
print("Inside add():", c)
add()
c=15
print("In main:", c)
output:
Inside add() : 12
In main: 15

Write a user-defined function

Q1 Write a function LShift(Arr,n) in Python, which accepts a list Arr of numbers
and n is a numeric value by which all elements of the list are shifted to left.
Sample Input Data of the list
Arr= [ 10,20,30,40,12,11], n=2

Q2 Write a function INDEX_LIST(L), where L is the list of elements passed as

argument to the function. The function returns another list named ‘indexList’ that
stores the indices of all Non-Zero Elements of L.

ASSERTION AND REASONING

Q1 is ASSERTION AND REASONING based question. Mark the correct choice as
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
(b) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
(c) A is True but R is False
(d) A is false but R is True
Assertion (A):- If the arguments in function call statement match the number and
order of arguments as defined in the function definition, such arguments are called
positional arguments.

Reasoning (R):- During a function call, the argument list first contains default
argument(s) followed by positional argument(s). (1)
A1 (c) A is True but R is False (1)
Q2 is ASSERTION AND REASONING based question. Mark the correct choice as
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
(b) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
(c) A is True but R is False
(d) A is false but R is True

Assertion(A): Python standard library consists of number of modules.

Reasoning(R): A function in a module is used to simplify the code and avoids
repetition. (1)

A1
def prime():
n=int(input("Enter number to check :: ")) #bracket missing
