Q1: List the features of Python.
Answer:
1. Interactive: Python provides an interactive shell for testing and debugging.
2. Object-Oriented: Supports object-oriented programming concepts like
inheritance and polymorphism.
3. Interpreted: No need to compile; the Python interpreter directly executes
the code.
4. Platform-Independent: Can run on different operating systems without
modifications.
Q2: What is the use of indentation in Python?
Answer:
Indentation in Python defines the structure of the code. Instead of braces ({})
used in other languages, Python uses indentation to indicate blocks of code.
Example:
if True:
print("Indented block is part of 'if'")
print("This is outside the 'if' block")
Q3: Define keywords in Python with an example.
Answer:
Keywords are reserved words in Python that have predefined meanings and
cannot be used as variable names.
Examples: if, else, return, for, while.
Example usage:
if True:
print("This is a keyword example")
Q4: List identity operators in Python.
Answer:
Identity operators in Python are:
is: Returns True if two variables point to the same object.
is not: Returns True if two variables point to different objects.
Q5: Give membership operators in Python.
Answer:
Membership operators in Python are:
in: Returns True if a value exists in a sequence.
not in: Returns True if a value does not exist in a sequence.
Q6: What are the main control flow structures in Python?
Answer:
The main control flow structures in Python are:
Conditional Statements (if, elif, else).
Loops (for, while).
Control Flow Statements (break, continue, pass).
Exceptions (try, except, else, finally).
Q.7.Give two differences between list and tuple
Q8: What is a dictionary?
Answer:
A dictionary is an unordered collection of key-value pairs where each key is unique.
Values can be of any data type.
Example:
my_dict = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}
Q9: What are tuples in Python?
Answer:
Tuples are immutable, ordered collections of elements. They allow storage of multiple
items in a single variable.
Example:
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
4 Marks Questions
Q1: Explain the building blocks of Python with examples.
Answer:
Identifiers: Names for variables, functions, etc.
Example:
my_variable = 10
Keywords: Reserved words like if, else, for, etc.
Example:
for i in range(5):
print(i)
Indentation: Used to define blocks of code.
Example:
if True:
print("Inside block")
Variables: Names that store data values.
Example:
x = 10
Comments: Lines ignored by the interpreter, used for explanation.
Example:
# This is a comment
Q2: List the data types in Python and explain any two with examples.
Answer:
Numbers: Represent integers and floating-point numbers.
Example:
x = 10 # Integer
y = 20.5 # Float
Strings: Represent a sequence of characters enclosed in quotes.
Example:
name = "Alice"
print(name) # Output: Alice
1. Tuples: Immutable collections of elements.
2. Lists: Mutable collections of elements.
3. Dictionaries: Collections of key-value pairs.
Q3: Write simple Python program using operators:
a) Arithmetic Operators
b) Logical Operators
c) Bitwise Operators
a) Arithmetic Operators
# Taking two numbers as input
num1 = float(input("Enter the first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Enter the second number: "))
# Displaying the results directly
print(f"Addition: {num1 + num2}")
print(f"Subtraction: {num1 - num2}")
print(f"Multiplication: {num1 * num2}")
print(f"Division: {num1 / num2}")
print(f"Floor Division: {num1 // num2}")
print(f"Modulus: {num1 % num2}")
print(f"Exponentiation: {num1 ** num2}")
b) Logical Operators
# Taking two boolean values as input
x = bool(int(input("Enter 1 for True or 0 for False (x): ")))
y = bool(int(input("Enter 1 for True or 0 for False (y): ")))
# Displaying the results of logical operations directly
print(f"x AND y: {x and y}")
print(f"x OR y: {x or y}")
print(f"NOT x: {not x}")
print(f"NOT y: {not y}")
c) Bitwise Operators
# Taking two numbers as input
num1 = int(input("Enter the first number: "))
num2 = int(input("Enter the second number: "))
# Displaying bitwise operation results directly
print(f"AND: {num1 & num2}")
print(f"OR: {num1 | num2}")
print(f"XOR: {num1 ^ num2}")
print(f"NOT {num1}: {~num1}")
print(f"NOT {num2}: {~num2}")
Q4: - Write python program to demonstrate use of looping statements:
a) 'while' loop
b) 'for' loop
c) Nested loops
Answer:
a) while loop:
b) for loop:
c) Nested loops:
Q5: Explain decision-making statements (if-else, if-elif-else) with examples.
Answer:
if Statement: Executes a block if the condition is True.
Example:
if 5 > 3:
print("5 is greater than 3")
if-else Statement: Executes one block if the condition is True, otherwise another
block.
Example:
if-elif-else Statement: Used to test multiple conditions.
Example:
Q.6. Describe control flow statements in Python.
Answer:
Control flow statements alter the flow of a program:
1. Break: Terminates the loop.
Example:
2. Continue: Skips the current iteration.
Example:
3. Pass: A placeholder for future code.
Example:
Q7: Explain indexing and slicing in lists with an example. (4 mks)
Answer:
Q8: Explain any four set operations with examples. (4 mks)
Answer:
Q.9. - Write python program to perform following operations on Tuples:
a) Create Tuple
b) Access Tuple
c) Update Tuple
d) Delete Tuple
# a) Create Tuple
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
print("Created Tuple:", my_tuple)
# b) Access Tuple
print("First element:", my_tuple[0])
print("Last element:", my_tuple[-1])
# c) Update Tuple
# Since tuples are immutable, we can't modify them directly.
# But we can create a new tuple by combining or slicing.
new_tuple = my_tuple + (6,) # Adding 6 to the tuple
print("New tuple after adding 6:", new_tuple)
# d) Delete Tuple
del my_tuple
# Trying to print the deleted tuple (will raise an error)
try:
print("Deleted Tuple:", my_tuple)
except NameError:
print("The tuple has been deleted.")
Output -
Created Tuple: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
First element: 1
Last element: 5
New tuple after adding 6: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
The tuple has been deleted.
