Type A : Short Answer Questions/Conceptual Questions

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

Answer

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

Keywords — Examples are import, for, in, while, etc.
Identifiers — Examples are MyFile, _DS, DATE_9_7_77, etc.
Literals — Examples are “abc”, 5, 28.5, etc.
Operators — Examples are +, -, >, or, etc.
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:

String literals
Numeric literals
Boolean literals
Special literal None
Literal collections
Question 4
Can nongraphic characters be used 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
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:

Fractional Form — 2.0, 17.5, -13.0, -0.00625
Exponent form — 152E05, 1.52E07, 0.152E08, -0.172E-3
Question 6
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 7
Which of these is not a legal numeric type in Python ? (a) int (b) float (c) decimal.

Answer

decimal is not a legal numeric type in Python.

Question 8
Which argument of print( ) would you set for:

(i) changing the default separator (space) ?
(ii) printing the following line in current line ?

Answer

(i) sep
(ii) end

Question 9
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 10
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 11
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 12
What do you understand by block/code block/suite in Python ?

Answer

A block/code block/suite is a group of statements that are part of another statement. For example:

if b > 5:
print(“Value of ‘b’ is less than 5.”)
print(“Thank you.”)
Question 13
What is the role of indentation in Python ?

Answer

Python uses indentation to create blocks of code. Statements at same indentation level are part of same block/suite.

Question 14
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 15
What do you understand by undefined variable in Python ?

Answer

In Python, a variable is not created until some value is assigned to it. A variable is created when a value is assigned to it for the first time. If we try to use a variable before assigning a value to it then it will result in an undefined variable. For example:

print(x) #This statement will cause an error for undefined variable x
x = 20
print(x)
The first line of the above code snippet will cause an undefined variable error as we are trying to use x before assigning a value to it.

Question 16
What is Dynamic Typing feature of Python ?

Answer

A variable pointing to a value of a certain type can be made to point to a value/object of different type.This is called Dynamic Typing. For example:

x = 10
print(x)
x = “Hello World”
print(x)
Question 17
What would the following code do : X = Y = 7 ?

Answer

It will assign a value of 7 to the variables X and Y.

Question 18
What is the error in following code : X, Y = 7 ?

Answer

The error in the above code is that we have mentioned two variables X, Y as Lvalues but only give a single numeric literal 7 as the Rvalue. We need to specify one more value like this to correct the error:

X, Y = 7, 8
Question 19
Following variable definition is creating problem X = 0281, find reasons.

Answer

Python doesn’t allow decimal numbers to have leading zeros. That is the reason why this line is creating problem.

Question 20
“Comments are useful and easy way to enhance readability and understandability of a program.” Elaborate with examples.

Answer

Comments can be used to explain the purpose of the program, document the logic of a piece of code, describe the behaviour of a program, etc. This enhances the readability and understandability of a program. For example:

# This program shows a program’s components

# Definition of function SeeYou() follows
def SeeYou():
print(“Time to say Good Bye!!”)

# Main program-code follows now
a = 15
b = a – 10
print (a + 3)
if b > 5: # colon means it’s a block
print(“Value of ‘a’ was more than 15 initially.”)
else:
print(“Value of ‘a’ was 15 or less initially.”)

SeeYou() # calling above defined function SeeYou()

Type B: Application Based Questions

Question 1
From the following, find out which assignment statement will produce an error. State reason(s) too.

(a) x = 55
(b) y = 037
(c) z = 0o98
(d) 56thnumber = 3300
(e) length = 450.17
(f) !Taylor = ‘Instant’
(g) this variable = 87.E02
(h) float = .17E – 03
(i) FLOAT = 0.17E – 03

Answer

y = 037 (option b) will give an error as decimal integer literal cannot start with a 0.
z = 0o98 (option c) will give an error as 0o98 is an octal integer literal due to the 0o prefix and 8 & 9 are invalid digits in an octal number.
56thnumber = 3300 (option d) will give an error as 56thnumber is an invalid identifier because it starts with a digit.
!Taylor = ‘Instant’ (option f) will give an error as !Taylor is an invalid identifier because it contains the special character !.
this variable = 87.E02 (option g) will give an error due to the space present between this and variable. Identifiers cannot contain any space.
float = .17E – 03 (option h) will give an error due to the spaces present in exponent part (E – 03). A very important point to note here is that float is NOT a KEYWORD in Python. The statement float = .17E-03 will execute successfully without any errors in Python.
FLOAT = 0.17E – 03 (option i) will give an error due to the spaces present in exponent part (E – 03).
Question 2
How will Python evaluate the following expression ?

(i) 20 + 30 * 40

Answer

20 + 30 * 40
⇒ 20 + 1200
⇒ 1220

(ii) 20 – 30 + 40

Answer

20 – 30 + 40
⇒ -10 + 40
⇒ 30

(iii) (20 + 30) * 40

Answer

(20 + 30) * 40
⇒ 50 * 40
⇒ 2000

(iv) 15.0 / 4 + (8 + 3.0)

Answer

15.0 / 4 + (8 + 3.0)
⇒ 15.0 / 4 + 11.0
⇒ 3.75 + 11.0
⇒ 14.75

Question 3
Find out the error(s) in following code fragments:

(i)

temperature = 90
print temperature
Answer

The call to print function is missing parenthesis. The correct way to call print function is this:
print(temperature)

(ii)

a = 30
b=a+b
print (a And b)
Answer

There are two errors in this code fragment:

In the statement b=a+b variable b is undefined.
In the statement print (a And b), And should be written as and.
(iii)

a, b, c = 2, 8, 9
print (a, b, c)
c, b, a = a, b, c
print (a ; b ; c)
Answer

In the statement print (a ; b ; c) use of semicolon will give error. In place of semicolon, we must use comma like this print (a, b, c)

(iv)

X = 24
4 = X
Answer

The statement 4 = X is incorrect as 4 cannot be a Lvalue. It is a Rvalue.

(v)

print(“X =”X)
Answer

There are two errors in this code fragment:

Variable X is undefined
“X =” and X should be separated by a comma like this print(“X =”, X)
(vi)

else = 21 – 5
Answer

else is a keyword in Python so it can’t be used as a variable name.

Question 4
What will be the output produced by following code fragment (s) ?

(i)

X = 10
X = X + 10
X = X – 5
print (X)
X, Y = X – 2, 22
print (X, Y)
Output

15
13 22
Explanation

X = 10 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 10 to X.
X = X + 10 ⇒ X = 10 + 10 = 20. So value of X is now 20.
X = X – 5 ⇒ X = 20 – 5 = 15. X is now 15.
print (X) ⇒ print the value of X which is 15.
X, Y = X – 2, 22 ⇒ X, Y = 13, 22.
print (X, Y) ⇒ prints the value of X which is 13 and Y which is 22.
(ii)

first = 2
second = 3
third = first * second
print (first, second, third)
first = first + second + third
third = second * first
print (first, second, third)
Output

2 3 6
11 3 33
Explanation

first = 2 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 2 to first.
second = 3 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 3 to second.
third = first * second ⇒ third = 2 * 3 = 6. So variable third is initialized with a value of 6.
print (first, second, third) ⇒ prints the value of first, second, third as 2, 3 and 6 respectively.
first = first + second + third ⇒ first = 2 + 3 + 6 = 11
third = second * first ⇒ third = 3 * 11 = 33
print (first, second, third) ⇒ prints the value of first, second, third as 11, 3 and 33 respectively.
(iii)

side = int(input(‘side’) ) #side given as 7
area = side * side
print (side, area)
Output

side7
7 49
Explanation

side = int(input(‘side’) ) ⇒ This statements asks the user to enter the side. We enter 7 as the value of side.
area = side * side ⇒ area = 7 * 7 = 49.
print (side, area) ⇒ prints the value of side and area as 7 and 49 respectively.
Question 5
What is the problem with the following code fragments ?

(i)

a = 3
print(a)
b = 4
print(b)
s = a + b
print(s)
Answer

The problem with the above code is inconsistent indentation. The statements print(a), print(b), print(s) are indented but they are not inside a suite. In Python, we cannot indent a statement unless it is inside a suite and we can indent only as much is required.

(ii)

name = “Prejith”
age = 26
print (“Your name & age are “, name + age)
Answer

In the print statement we are trying to add name which is a string to age which is an integer. This is an invalid operation in Python.

(iii)

a = 3
s = a + 10
a = “New”
q = a / 10
Answer

The statement a = “New” converts a to string type from numeric type due to dynamic typing. The statement q = a / 10 is trying to divide a string with a number which is an invalid operation in Python.

Question 6
Predict the output:

(a)

x = 40
y = x + 1
x = 20, y + x
print (x, y)
Output

(20, 81) 41
Explanation

x = 40 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 40 to x.
y = x + 1 ⇒ y = 40 + 1 = 41. So y becomes 41.
x = 20, y + x ⇒ x = 20, 41 + 40 ⇒ x = 20, 81. This makes x a Tuple of 2 elements (20, 81).
print (x, y) ⇒ prints the tuple x and the integer variable y as (20, 81) and 41 respectively.
(b)

x, y = 20, 60
y, x, y = x, y – 10, x + 10
print (x, y)
Output

50 30
Explanation

x, y = 20, 60 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 20 to x and 60 to y.
y, x, y = x, y – 10, x + 10
⇒ y, x, y = 20, 60 – 10, 20 + 10
⇒ y, x, y = 20, 50, 30
First RHS value 20 is assigned to first LHS variable y. After that second RHS value 50 is assigned to second LHS variable x. Finally third RHS value 30 is assigned to third LHS variable which is again y. After this assignment, x becomes 50 and y becomes 30.
print (x, y) ⇒ prints the value of x and y as 50 and 30 respectively.
(c)

a, b = 12, 13
c, b = a*2, a/2
print (a, b, c)
Output

12 6.0 24
Explanation

a, b = 12, 13 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 12 to a and 13 to b.
c, b = a*2, a/2 ⇒ c, b = 12*2, 12/2 ⇒ c, b = 24, 6.0. So c has a value of 24 and b has a value of 6.0.
print (a, b, c) ⇒ prints the value of a, b, c as 12, 6.0 and 24 respectively.
(d)

a, b = 12, 13
print (print(a + b))
Output

25
None
Explanation

a, b = 12, 13 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 12 to a and 13 to b.
print (print(a + b)) ⇒ First print(a + b) function is called which prints 25. After that, the outer print statement prints the value returned by print(a + b) function call. As print function does not return any value so outer print function prints None.
Question 7
Predict the output

a, b, c = 10, 20, 30
p, q, r = c – 5, a + 3, b – 4
print (‘a, b, c :’, a, b, c, end = ”)
print (‘p, q, r :’, p, q, r)
Output

a, b, c : 10 20 30p, q, r : 25 13 16
Explanation

a, b, c = 10, 20, 30 ⇒ assigns initial value of 10 to a, 20 to b and 30 to c.
p, q, r = c – 5, a + 3, b – 4
⇒ p, q, r = 30 – 5, 10 + 3, 20 – 4
⇒ p, q, r = 25, 13, 16.
So p is 25, q is 13 and r is 16.
print (‘a, b, c :’, a, b, c, end = ”) ⇒ This statement prints a, b, c : 10 20 30. As we have given end = ” so output of next print statement will start in the same line.
print (‘p, q, r :’, p, q, r) ⇒ This statement prints p, q, r : 25 13 16
Question 8
Find the errors in following code fragment

(a)

y = x + 5
print (x, Y)
Answer

There are two errors in this code fragment:

x is undefined in the statement y = x + 5
Y is undefined in the statement print (x, Y). As Python is case-sensitive hence y and Y will be treated as two different variables.
(b)

print (x = y = 5)
Answer

Python doesn’t allow assignment of variables while they are getting printed.

(c)

a = input(“value”)
b = a/2
print (a, b)
Answer

The input( ) function always returns a value of String type so variable a is a string. This statement b = a/2 is trying to divide a string with an integer which is invalid operation in Python.

Question 9
Find the errors in following code fragment : (The input entered is XI)

c = int (input ( “Enter your class”) )
print (“Your class is”, c)
Answer

The input value XI is not int type compatible.

Question 10
Consider the following code :

name = input (“What is your name?”)
print (‘Hi’, name, ‘,’)
print (“How are you doing?”)
was intended to print output as

Hi <name>, How are you doing ?
But it is printing the output as :

Hi <name>,
How are you doing?
What could be the problem ? Can you suggest the solution for the same ?

Answer

The print() function appends a newline character at the end of the line unless we give our own end argument. Due to this behaviour of print() function, the statement print (‘Hi’, name, ‘,1) is printing a newline at the end. Hence “How are you doing?” is getting printed on the next line.
To fix this we can add the end argument to the first print() function like this:

print (‘Hi’, name, ‘,1, end = ”)
Question 11
Find the errors in following code fragment :

c = input( “Enter your class” )
print (“Last year you were in class”) c – 1
Answer

There are two errors in this code fragment:

c – 1 is outside the parenthesis of print function. It should be specified as one of the arguments of print function.
c is a string as input function returns a string. With c – 1, we are trying to subtract a integer from a string which is an invalid operation in Python.
The corrected program is like this:

c = int(input( “Enter your class” ))
print (“Last year you were in class”, c – 1)
Question 12
What will be returned by Python as result of following statements?

(a) >>> type(0)

Answer

<class ‘int’>

(b) >>> type(int(0))

Answer

<class ‘int’>

(c) >>>.type(int(‘0’)

Answer

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

(d) >>> type(‘0’)

Answer

<class ‘str’>

(e) >>> type(1.0)

Answer

<class ‘float’>

(f) >>> type(int(1.0))

Answer

<class ‘int’>

(g) >>>type(float(0))

Answer

<class ‘float’>

(h) >>> type(float(1.0))

Answer

<class ‘float’>

(i) >>> type( 3/2)

Answer

<class ‘float’>

Question 13
What will be the output produced by following code ?

(a) >>> str(print())+”One”

Output

NoneOne

Explanation

print() function doesn’t return any value so its return value is None. Hence, str(print()) becomes str(None). str(None) converts None into string ‘None’ and addition operator joins ‘None’ and ‘One’ to give the final output as ‘NoneOne’.

(b) >>> str(print(“hello”))+”One”

Output

hello
NoneOne

Explanation

First, print(“hello”) function is executed which prints the first line of the output as hello. The return value of print() function is None i.e. nothing. str() function converts it into string and addition operator joins ‘None’ and ‘One’ to give the second line of the output as ‘NoneOne’.

(c) >>> print(print(“Hola”))

Output

Hola
None

Explanation

First, print(“Hola”) function is executed which prints the first line of the output as Hola. The return value of print() function is None i.e. nothing. This is passed as argument to the outer print function which converts it into string and prints the second line of output as None.

(d) >>> print (print (“Hola”, end = ” “))

Output

Hola None

Explanation

First, print (“Hola”, end = ” “) function is executed which prints Hola. As end argument is specified as ” ” so newline is not printed after Hola. The next output starts from the same line. The return value of print() function is None i.e. nothing. This is passed as argument to the outer print function which converts it into string and prints None in the same line after Hola.

Question 14
Carefully look at the following code and its execution on Python shell. Why is the last assignment giving error ?

>>> a = 0o12
>>> print(a)
10
>>> b = 0o13
>>> c = 0o78
File “<python-input-41-27fbe2fd265f>”, line 1
c = 0o78
^
SyntaxError : invalid syntax
Answer

Due to the prefix 0o, the number is treated as an octal number by Python but digit 8 is invalid in Octal number system hence we are getting this error.

Question 15
Predict the output

a, b, c = 2, 3, 4
a, b, c = a*a, a*b, a*c
print(a, b, c)
Output

4 6 8
Explanation

a, b, c = 2, 3, 4 ⇒ assigns initial value of 2 to a, 3 to b and 4 to c.
a, b, c = a*a, a*b, a*c
⇒ a, b, c = 2*2, 2*3, 2*4
⇒ a, b, c = 4, 6, 8
print(a, b, c) ⇒ prints values of a, b, c as 4, 6 and 8 respectively.
Question 16
The id( ) can be used to get the memory address of a variable. Consider the adjacent code and tell if the id( ) functions will return the same value or not(as the value to be printed via print() ) ? Why ?
[There are four print() function statements that are printing id of variable num in the code shown on the right.

num = 13
print( id(num) )
num = num + 3
print( id(num) )
num = num – 3
print( id(num) )
num = “Hello”
print( id(num) )
Answer

num = 13
print( id(num) ) # print 1
num = num + 3
print( id(num) ) # print 2
num = num – 3
print( id(num) ) # print 3
num = “Hello”
print( id(num) ) # print 4
For the print statements commented as print 1 and print 3 above, the id() function will return the same value. For print 2 and print 4, the value returned by id() function will be different.

The reason is that for both print 1 and print 3 statements the value of num is the same which is 13. So id(num) gives the address of the memory location which contains 13 in the front-loaded dataspace.

Question 17
Consider below given two sets of codes, which are nearly identical, along with their execution in Python shell. Notice that first code-fragment after taking input gives error, while second code-fragment does not produce error. Can you tell why ?

(a)

>>> print(num = float(input(“value1:”)) )
value1:67

TypeError: ‘num’ is an invalid keyword argument for this function
(b)

>>> print(float(input(“valuel:”)) )
value1:67

67.0
Answer

In part a, the value entered by the user is converted to a float type and passed to the print function by assigning it to a variable named num. It means that we are passing an argument named num to the print function. But print function doesn’t accept any argument named num. Hence, we get this error telling us that num is an invalid argument for print function.

In part b, we are converting the value entered by the user to a float type and directly passing it to the print function. Hence, it works correctly and the value gets printed.

Question 18
Predict the output of the following code :

days = int (input (“Input days : “)) * 3600 * 24
hours = int(input(“Input hours: “)) * 3600
minutes = int(input(“Input minutes: “)) * 60
seconds = int(input(“Input seconds: “))
time = days + hours + minutes + seconds
print(“Total number of seconds”, time)
If the input given is in this order : 1, 2, 3, 4

Output

Input days : 1
Input hours: 2
Input minutes: 3
Input seconds: 4
Total number of seconds 93784
Question 19
What will the following code result into ?

n1, n2 = 5, 7
n3 = n1 + n2
n4 = n4 + 2
print(n1, n2, n3, n4)
Answer

The code will result into an error as in the statement n4 = n4 + 2, variable n4 is undefined.

Question 20
Correct the following program so that it displays 33 when 30 is input.

val = input(“Enter a value”)
nval = val + 30
print(nval)
Answer

Below is the corrected program:

val = int(input(“Enter a value”)) #used int() to convert input value into integer
nval = val + 3 #changed 30 to 3
print(nval)
