## Type A: Short Answer Questions/Conceptual Questions

#### Question 1

What are data types in Python? How are they important?

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 2

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

Two integer types are supported by Python. They are:

1. Integers (signed)
2. Booleans

#### Question 3

How are these numbers different from one another (with respect to Python)? 33, 33.0, 33j, 33 + j

The number 33 is an integer whereas 33.0 is a floating-point number. 33j represent the imaginary part of a complex number. 33 + j is a complex number.

#### Question 4

The complex numbers have two parts : real and imaginary. In which data type are real and imaginary parts represented ?

In Python, the real and imaginary parts of a complex number are represented as floating-point numbers.

#### Question 5

How many string types does Python support? How are they different from one another?

Python supports two types of strings — Single-line strings and Multi-line strings. Single line strings are enclosed in single or double quotes and terminate in one line. Multi-line strings store multiple lines of text and are enclosed in triple quotes.

#### Question 6

What will following code print?

str1 = '''Hell
o'''
str2 = '''Hell\
o'''
print(len(str1) > len(str2))

This code will print:

True


len(str1) is 6 due to the EOL character. len(str2) is 5 as backslash (\) character is not counted in the length of string. As len(str1) is greater than len(str2) so the output is True.

#### Question 7

What are Immutable and Mutable types in Python? List immutable and mutable types of Python.

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 8

What are three internal key-attributes of a value-variable in Python ? Explain with example.

The three internal key-attributes of a value-variable in Python are:

1. Type
2. Value
3. Id

For example, consider this:

a = 4

The type of a is int which can be found with the built-in function type() like this:
type(a).

Value can be found using the built-in function print() like this:
print(a)

It will give the output as 4 which is value contained in variable a.

Id is the memory location of the object which can be determined using built-in function id() like this:
id(a)

#### Question 9

Is it true that if two objects return True for is operator, they will also return True for == operator?

Yes, if is operator returns true, it implicitly means that the equality operator will also return True. is operator returning true implies that both the variables point to the same object and hence == operator must return True.

#### Question 10

Are these values equal? Why/why not?

1. 20 and 20.0
2. 20 and int(20)
3. str(20) and str(20.0)
4. 'a' and "a"

1. The type of 20 is int whereas the type of 20.0 is float so they are two different objects. Both have the same value of 20. So, as values are same equality (==) operator return True but as objects are different is operator returns False.
2. The value and type of both 20 and int(20) are the same and both point to the same object so both equality (==) and is operator returns True.
3. For str(20) and str(20.0), both equality (==) and is operator returns False as their values are different and they point to two different objects.
4. For 'a' and "a", both equality (==) and is operator returns True as their values are same and they point to the same object.

#### Question 11

What is an atom in Python? What is an expression?

In Python, an atom is something that has a value. Identifiers, literals, strings, lists, tuples, sets, dictionaries, etc. are all atoms. An expression in Python, is any valid combination of operators and atoms. It is composed of one or more operations.

#### Question 12

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

Implicit Type ConversionExplicit Type Conversion
An implicit type conversion is automatically performed by the compiler when differing data types are intermixed in an expression.An explicit type conversion is user-defined conversion that forces an expression to be of specific type.
An implicit type conversion is performed without programmer's intervention.An explicit type conversion is specified explicitly by the programmer.
Example:
a, b = 5, 25.5
c = a + b
Example:
a, b = 5, 25.5
c = int(a + b)

#### Question 13

Two objects (say a and b) when compared using == ,return True. But Python gives False when compared using is operator. Why? (i.e., a == b is True but why is a is b False?)

As equality (==) operator returns True, it means that a and b have the same value but as is operator returns False, it means that variables a and b point to different objects in memory. For example, consider the below Python statements:

>>> a = 'abc'
>>> b = input("Enter a string: ")
Enter a string: abc
>>> a == b
True
>>> a is b
False


Here, both a and b have the same value 'abc' but they point to different objects.

#### Question 14

Given str1 = "Hello", what will be the values of:

(a) str1[0]

(b) str1[1]

(c) str1[-5]

(d) str1[-4]

(e) str1[5]

(a) H

(b) e

(c) H

(d) e

(e) IndexError: string index out of range

##### Explanation

$\begin{matrix} \underset{-5}{\overset{0}\bold{H}} & \underset{-4}{\overset{1}\bold{e}} & \underset{-3}{\overset{2}\bold{l}} & \underset{-2}{\overset{3}\bold{l}} & \underset{-1}{\overset{4}\bold{o}} \end{matrix}$

#### Question 15

If you give the following for str1 = "Hello", why does Python report error?

str1[2] = 'p'

Python reports error because strings are immutable and hence item assignment is not supported.

#### Question 16

What will the result given by the following?

(a) type (6 + 3)

(b) type (6 -3)

(c) type (6 *3)

(d) type (6 / 3)

(e) type (6 // 3)

(f) type (6 % 3)

(a) type (6 + 3)
⇒ int + int
⇒ int
So the result is int.

(b) type (6 -3)
⇒ int - int
⇒ int
So the result is int.

(c) type (6 * 3)
⇒ int * int
⇒ int
So the result is int.

(d) type (6 / 3)
⇒ int / int
⇒ float
So the result is float.

(e) type (6 // 3)
⇒ int // int
⇒ int
So the result is int.

(f) type (6 % 3)
⇒ int % int
⇒ int
So the result is int.

#### Question 17

What are augmented assignment operators? How are they useful?

Augmented assignment operators combine the impact of an arithmetic operator with an assignment operator. For example, to add the value of b to the value of a and assign the result back to a then instead of writing:

a = a + b

we can write

a += b.

Augmented assignment operators are useful as they provide a shorthand way by combining the arithmetic and assignment operators.

#### Question 18

Differentiate between (555/222)**2 and (555.0/222)**2.

In the first expression, 555 is of int type whereas in the second expression 555.0 is of float type.

#### Question 19

Given three Boolean variables a, b, c as : a = False, b = True, c = False. Evaluate the following Boolean expressions:

(a) b and c

(b) b or c

(c) not a and b

(d) (a and b) or not c

(e) not b and not (a or c)

(f) not ((not b or not a) and c) or a

(a) b and c
⇒ False and True
⇒ False

(b) b or c
⇒ True or False
⇒ True

(c) not a and b
⇒ not False and True
⇒ True and True
⇒ True

(d) (a and b) or not c
⇒ (False and True) or not False
⇒ False or not False
⇒ False or True
⇒ True

(e) not b and not (a or c)
⇒ not True and not (False or False)
⇒ not True and not False
⇒ False and True
⇒ False

(f) not ((not b or not a) and c) or a
⇒ not ((not True or not False) and False) or False
⇒ not ((False or True) and False) or False
⇒ not (True and False) or False
⇒ not False or False
⇒ True or False
⇒ True

#### Question 20

What would following code fragments result in? Given x = 3.

(a) 1 < x

(b) x >= 4

(c) x == 3

(d) x == 3.0

(e) "Hello" == "Hello"

(f) "Hello" > "hello"

(g) 4/2 == 2.0

(h) 4/2 == 2

(i) x < 7 and 4 > 5.

(a) True

(b) False

(c) True

(d) True

(e) True

(f) False

(g) True

(h) True

(i) False

#### Question 21

Write following expressions in Python:

(a) $\dfrac{1}{3} b^2 h$

1 / 3 * b * b * h

(b) $\pi r^2 h$

math.pi * r * r * h

(c) $\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$

1 / 3 * math.pi * r * r * h

(d) $\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}$

math.sqrt((x2 - x1) ** 2 + (y2 - y1) ** 2)

(e) $(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

(x - h) ** 2 + (y - k) ** 2 == r ** 2

(f) $x = \dfrac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

x = (-b + math.sqrt(b * b - 4 * a * c)) / (2 * a)

(g) $a^n \times a^m = a^{n+m}$

a ** n * a ** m == a ** (n + m)

(h) $(a^n)^m = a^{nm}$

(a ** n) ** m == a ** (n * m)

(i) $\dfrac{a^n}{a^m} = a^{n - m}$

a ** n / a ** m == a ** (n - m)

(j) $a^{-n} = \dfrac{1}{a^n}$

a ** -n == 1 / a ** n

#### Question 22

int('a') produces error. Why ?

int() converts its argument into an integer. As 'a' is a letter, it cannot be converted into a valid integer hence int('a') produces an error.

#### Question 23

int('a') produces error but following expression having int('a') in it, does not return error. Why?

len('a') + 2 or int('a')

The or operator tests the second operand only if the first operand is false otherwise it ignores it. In the expression, the first operand of or operator is len('a') + 2. It evaluates to 3 and as it is a non-zero value hence it is True for or operator. As first operand of or operator is True so it doesn't evaluate its second argument int('a') and no error is returned.

#### Question 24

Write expression to convert the values 17, len('ab') to (i) integer (ii) str (iii) boolean values

(i) int(17), int(len('ab'))

(ii) str(17), str(len('ab'))

(iii) bool(17), bool(len('ab'))

#### Question 25

Evaluate and Justify:

(i) 22 / 17 = 37 / 47 + 88 /83

(ii) len('375')**2

(i) It produces an error as LHS value in this case is an expression that evaluates to a literal whereas LHS value should be a variable.

(ii) len('375')**2
⇒ 3 ** 2    [∵ len('375') = 3]
⇒ 9           [∵ 3 * 3 = 9]

#### Question 26

Evaluate and Justify:

(i) 22.0/7.0 - 22/7

(ii) 22.0/7.0 - int(22.0/7.0)

(iii) 22/7 - int (22.0)/7

(i) 22.0/7.0 - 22/7
⇒ 0

As values of 22.0/7.0 and 22/7 are equal, subtracting them will give the result as 0.0.

(ii) 22.0/7.0 - int(22.0/7.0)
⇒ 3.142857142857143 - 3
⇒ 0.142857142857143

(iii) 22/7 - int (22.0)/7
⇒ 0.0

int (22.0) gives 22 so the expression becomes 22/7 - 22/7 which results in 0.0

#### Question 27

Evaluate and Justify:

(i) false and None

(ii) 0 and None

(iii) True and None

(iv) None and None

(i) This produces an error as false is an invalid literal in Python. It should be False. Had the expression being False and None, the return value will be False.

(ii) This logical expression evaluates to 0. As first operand of and operator is false so it will return the first operand itself.

(iii) This logical expression evaluates to None. As first operand of and operator is True so it will return the second operand.

(iv) This logical expression evaluates to None. As first operand of and operator is false so it will return the first operand itself.

#### Question 28

Evaluate and Justify:

(a) 0 or None and "or"

(b) 1 or None and 'a' or 'b'

(c) False and 23

(d) 23 and False

(e) not (1 == 1 and 0 != 1)

(f) "abc" == "Abc" and not (2 == 3 or 3 == 4)

(g) False and 1 == 1 or not True or 1 == 1 and False or 0 == 0

(a) 0 or None and "or"
⇒ 0 or None   [∵ and has higher precedence than or]
⇒ None

(b) 1 or None and 'a' or 'b'
⇒ 1 or None or 'b'
⇒ 1 or 'b'
⇒ 1

(c) False and 23
⇒ False

(d) 23 and False
⇒ False

(e) not (1 == 1 and 0 != 1)
⇒ not (True and True)
⇒ not True
⇒ not False

(f) "abc" == "Abc" and not (2 == 3 or 3 == 4)
⇒ "abc" == "Abc" and not (False or False)
⇒ "abc" == "Abc" and not False
⇒ False and not False
⇒ False and True
⇒ False

(g) False and 1 == 1 or not True or 1 == 1 and False or 0 == 0
⇒ False and True or not True or True and False or True
⇒ False and True or False or True and False or True
⇒ False or False or False or True
⇒ False or False or True
⇒ False or True
⇒ True

#### Question 29

Evaluate the following for each expression that is successfully evaluated, determine its value and type for unsuccessful expression, state the reason.

(a) len("hello") == 25/5 or 20/10

(b) 3 < 5 or 50/(5 - (3 + 2))

(c) 50/(5 - (3 + 2)) or 3 < 5

(d) 2 * (2 * (len("01")))

(a) len("hello") == 25/5 or 20/10
⇒ 5 == 25/5 or 20/10
⇒ 5 == 5 or 2
⇒ True or 2
⇒ True

The type of result is Boolean.

(b) 3 < 5 or 50/(5 - (3 + 2))
⇒ True or 50/(5 - (3 + 2))   [∵ first operand is True, second operand is not evaluated so no division by 0 error happens]
⇒ True

The type of result is Boolean.

(c) 50/(5 - (3 + 2)) or 3 < 5
⇒ 50/(5 - 5) or 3 < 5
⇒ 50/0 or 3 < 5
⇒ Division by Zero Error

As the denominator of or operator's first operand is 0, Division by Zero error occurs.

(d) 2 * (2 * (len("01")))
⇒ 2 * (2 * 2)
⇒ 2 * 4
⇒ 8

The type of result is Integer.

#### Question 30

Write an expression that uses exactly 3 arithmetic operators with integer literals and produces result as 99.

9 * 10 + 21 % 12

#### Question 31

Add parentheses to the following expression to make the order of evaluation more clear.

y % 4 == 0 and y % 100 != 0 or y % 400 == 0

((y % 4) == 0) and ((y % 100) != 0) or ((y % 400) == 0)

#### Question 32

A program runs to completion but gives an incorrect result. What type of error would have caused it?

Logical errors can make a program run till completion but give incorrect result.

#### Question 33

In Python, strings are immutable while lists are mutable. What is the difference?

In Python, strings are immutable means that individual letter assignment for strings is not allowed. For example:

name='hello'
name[0] = 'p'

The above Python code will cause an error as we are trying to assign some value to an individual letter of a string.

Lists are mutable in Python means that we can assign values to individual elements of a list. For example:

a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
a[0] = 10

The above Python code will work correctly without any errors as Lists are mutable in Python.

#### Question 34

How does the // operator differ from the / operator? Give an example of where // would be needed.

The Division operator (/) divides its first operand by second operand and always returns the result as a float value whereas Floor Division operator (//) divides its first operand by second operand and truncates the fractional part of the result and returns it as an int value. Floor Division operator is useful in situations where we only need the integer part of the division operation result. For example, to determine how many minutes are there in some given number of seconds:

secs = 2565
mins = 2565 // 60

#### Question 35

MidAir Airlines will only allow carry-on bags that are no more than 22 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 9 inches deep. Assuming that variables named length, width, and depth have already been assigned values, write an expression combining the three that evaluates to True if bag fits within those limits, and False otherwise.

length <= 22 and width <= 14 and depth <= 9

#### Question 36

What are main error types? Which types are most dangerous and why?

The types of errors are:

1. Compile Time Errors (Syntax errors and Semantic Errors)
2. Runtime Errors
3. Logical Errors

Logical Errors are the most dangerous as they are hardest to prevent, find and fix.

#### Question 37

Correct any false statements:

(a) Compile-time errors are usually easier to detect and to correct than run-time errors.

(b) Logically errors can usually be detected by the compiler.

(a) The statement is correct.

(b) The statement is incorrect. The correct statement should be:

Logical errors cannot be detected by the compiler.

#### Question 38

Differentiate between a syntax error and a semantics error.

Syntax ErrorSemantics Error
Syntax errors occurs when the rules of the programming language are violated.Semantic errors occur when the statement are not meaningful.
Example:
x = false
Example:
x * y = z

#### Question 39

Differentiate between a syntax error and a logical error in a python program. When is each type of error likely to be found?

Syntax ErrorLogical Error
Syntax Errors occur when we violate the rules of writing the statements of the programming language.Logical Errors occur due to our mistakes in programming logic.
Program fails to compile and execute.Program compiles and executes but doesn't give the desired output.
Syntax Errors are caught by the compiler.Logical errors need to be found and corrected by people working on the program.

Syntax errors are found at compile type whereas Logical errors are found when the program starts executing.

#### Question 40

What is the difference between an error and exception?

An Error is a bug in the code that causes irregular output or stops the program from executing whereas an Exception is an irregular unexpected situation occurring during execution on which programmer has no control.

## Type B: Application Based Questions

#### Question 1

What is the result produced by (i) bool (0) (ii) bool (str(0))? Justify the outcome.

(i) bool (0)

The result is False as truth value of 0 is falsetval

(ii) bool (str(0))

The result is True as str(0) converts 0 to string "0". As it becomes a non-empty string so its truth value is truetval

#### Question 2

What will be the output, if input for both the statements is 5 + 4/2.

6 == input ("Value 1:")
6 == int(input ("value 2:"))

Output of first statement is False as '5 + 4/2' is entered as a string so it cannot be equal to the number 6.

The second statement gives an error as int() function cannot convert the string '5 + 4/2' to a valid integer.

#### Question 3

Following Python code has an expression with all integer values. Why is the result in floating point form?

a, b, c = 2, 3, 6
d = a + b * c/b
print(d)

The output of the above Python code is 8.0. Division operator is present in the expression. The result of Division operator is of float type. Due to implicit conversion, other operand in this expression are also converted to float type and hence the final result is in floating point form.

#### Question 4a

What will following code print?

a = va = 3
b = va = 3
print (a, b)

This Python code prints:

3 3


#### Question 4b

What will following code print?

a = 3
b = 3.0
print (a == b)
print (a is b)

This Python code prints:

True
False


As values of a and b are equal so equality operator returns True. a is of int type and b is of float type so a and b are different objects so a is b returns False.

#### Question 5a

What will be output produced by following code? State reason for this output.

a, b, c = 1, 1, 2
d = a + b
e = 1.0
f = 1.0
g = 2.0
h = e + f
print(c == d)
print(c is d)
print(g == h)
print(g is h)

##### Output
True
True
True
False

##### Explanation

Value of d becomes 2 and as values of c and d are equal so print(c == d) prints True.

#### Question 5b

What will be output produced by following code? State reason for this output.

a = 5 - 4 - 3
b = 3**2**3
print(a)
print(b)     

##### Output
-2
6561

##### Explanation

a = 5 - 4 - 3
⇒ a = 1 - 3
⇒ a = -2

The exponentiation operator (**) has associativity from right to left so:

b = 3**2**3
⇒ b = 3**8
⇒ b = 6561

#### Question 5c

What will be output produced by following code? State reason for this output.

a, b, c = 1, 1, 1
d = 0.3
e=a+b+c-d
f=a+b+c == d
print(e)
print(f)

##### Output
2.7
False

##### Explanation

e = a+b+c-d
⇒ e = 1+1+1-0.3
⇒ e = 3-0.3
⇒ e = 2.7

As 0.3 is float so implicit conversion converts 3 also to float and result of the expression is of float type.

f = a + b + c == d
⇒ f = 1 + 1 + 1 == 0.3
⇒ f = 3 == 0.3
⇒ f = False

#### Question 6a

What will be the output of following Python code?

a = 12
b = 7.4
c = 1
a -= b
print(a, b)
a *= 2 + c
print(a)
b += a * c
print(b)

##### Output
4.6 7.4
13.799999999999999
21.2

##### Explanation

a -= b
⇒ a = a - b
⇒ a = 12 - 7.4
⇒ a = 4.6

a *= 2 + c
⇒ a = 4.6 * (2 + c)
⇒ a = 4.6 * (2 + 1)
⇒ a = 4.6 * 3
⇒ a = 13.799999999999999

b += a * c
⇒ b = b + (a * c)
⇒ b = 7.4 + (13.799999999999999 * 1)
⇒ b = 7.4 + 13.799999999999999
⇒ b = 21.2

#### Question 6b

What will be the output of following Python code?

x, y = 4, 8
z = x/y*y
print(z)

##### Output
4.0


z = x/y*y
⇒ z = 4/8*8
⇒ z = 0.5*8
⇒ z = 4.0

#### Question 7

Make change in the expression for z of previous question so that the output produced is zero. You cannot change the operators and order of variables. (Hint. Use a function around a sub-expression)

x, y = 4, 8
z = int(x/y)*y
print(z)

#### Question 8

Consider the following expression:

x = "and" * (3 + 2) > "or" + "4"

What is the data type of value that is computed by this expression?

The data type of value that is computed by this expression is bool.

x = "and" * (3 + 2) > "or" + "4"
⇒ x = "and" * 5 > "or" + "4"
⇒ x = "andandandandand" > "or4"
⇒ x = False

#### Question 9

Consider the following code segment:

a = input()
b = int(input())
c = a + b
print(c)

When the program is run, the user first enters 10 and then 5, it gives an error. Find the error, its reason and correct it

The error is:

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

It occurs because a is of type string but b is of type int. We are trying to add together a string operand and an int operand using addition operator. This is not allowed in Python hence this error occurs.

To correct it, we need to cast a to int like this:

a = int(input())

#### Question 10

Consider the following code segment:

a = input("Enter the value of a:")
b = input("Enter the value of b:")
print(a + b)

If the user runs the program and enters 11 for a and 9 for b then what will the above code display?

##### Output
Enter the value of a:11
Enter the value of b:9
119

##### Explanation

input() function accepts user input as string type. The data type of a and b is string not int so addition operator concatenates them to print 119 instead of 20.

#### Question 11

Find out the error and the reason for the error in the following code. Also, give the corrected code.

a, b = "5.0", "10.0"
x = float(a/b)
print(x)

a and b are defined as strings not float or int. Division operator doesn't support strings as its operand so we get the error — unsupported operand type(s) for /: "str" and "str".

The corrected code is:

a, b = 5.0, 10.0
x = float(a/b)
print(x)

#### Question 12

Consider the following program. It is supposed to compute the hypotenuse of a right triangle after the user enters the lengths of the other two sides.

a = float(input("Enter the length of the first side:"))
b = float(input("Enter the length of the second side:"))
h = sqrt(a * a + b * b)
print("The length of the hypotenuse is", h)

When this program is run, the following output is generated (note that input entered by the user is shown in bold):

Enter the length of the first side: 3
Enter the length of the second side: 4
Traceback (most recent call last):
h = sqrt(a * a + b * b)
NameError: name 'sqrt' is not defined

Why is this error occurring? How would you resolve it ?

The error is coming because math module is not imported in the code. To resolve it, we should import the math module using the import statement import math.

#### Question 13

Consider the following program. It is supposed to compute the hypotenuse of a right triangle after the user enters the lengths of the other two sides.

a = float(input("Enter the length of the first side:"))
b = float(input("Enter the length of the second side:"))
h = sqrt(a * a + b * b)
print("The length of the hypotenuse is", h)

After adding import math to the code given above, what other change(s) are required in the code to make it fully work ?

After adding import math statement, we need to change the line h = sqrt(a * a + b * b) to h = math.sqrt(a * a + b * b). The corrected working code is below:

import math
a = float(input("Enter the length of the first side:"))
b = float(input("Enter the length of the second side:"))
h = math.sqrt(a * a + b * b)
print("The length of the hypotenuse is", h)

#### Question 14

Which of the following expressions will result in an error message being displayed when a program containing it is run?

(a) 2.0/4

(b) "3" + "Hello"

(c) 4 % 15

(d) int("5")/float("3")

(e) float("6"/"2")

(a) No Error

(b) No Error

(c) No Error

(d) No Error

(e) This will cause an error of unsupported operand types as using division operator on string types is not allowed in Python.

#### Question 15a

Following expression does not report an error even if it has a sub-expression with 'divide by zero' problem:

3 or 10/0

What changes can you make to above expression so that Python reports this error?

Interchanging the operands of or operator as shown below will make Python report this error:

10/0 or 3

#### Question 15b

What is the output produced by following code?

a, b = bool(0), bool(0.0)
c, d = str(0), str(0.0)
print (len(a), len(b))
print (len(c), len(d))

The above code will give an error as the line print (len(a), len(b)) is calling len function with bool arguments which is not allowed in Python.

#### Question 16

Given a string s = "12345". Can you write an expression that gives sum of all the digits shown inside the string s i.e., the program should be able to produce the result as 15 (1+2+3+4+5).
[Hint. Use indexes and convert to integer]

print(int(s[0]) + int(s[1]) + int(s[2]) + int(s[3]) + int(s[4]))

#### Question 17

Predict the output if e is given input as 'True':

a = True
b = 0 < 5
print (a == b)
print (a is b)
c = str (a)
d = str (b)
print (c == d)
print (c is d)
e = input ("Enter :")
print (c == e)
print (c is e)

##### Output
True
True
True
True
Enter :True
True
False

##### Explanation
1. As 0 < 5 is True so b value of b becomes True and its type is bool.
2. print (a == b) gives True as a and b both are True.
3. print (a is b) gives True as a and b both being True point to the same object in memory.
4. Similarly print (c == d) and print (c is d) give True as c and d both are string and point to the same object in memory.
5. The user input for e is True so e is of type string having value "True".
6. As value of strings c and e is "True" so print (c == e) gives True.
7. Even though the values of strings c and e are same, they point to different objects in memory so print (c is e) gives False.

#### Question 18a

Find the errors(s)

name = "HariT"
print (name)
name[2] = 'R'
print (name)  

The line name[2] = 'R' is trying to assign the letter 'R' to the second index of string name but strings are immutable in Python and hence such item assignment for strings is not supported in Python.

#### Question 18b

Find the errors(s)

a = bool (0)
b = bool (1)
print (a == false)
print (b == true)

false and true are invalid literals in Python. The correct boolean literals are False and True.

#### Question 18c

Find the errors(s)

print (type (int("123")))
print (type (int("Hello")))
print (type (str("123.0")))

In the line print (type (int("Hello"))), string "Hello" is given as an argument to int() but it cannot be converted into a valid integer so it causes an error.

#### Question 18d

Find the errors(s)

pi = 3.14
print (type (pi))
print (type ("3.14"))
print (type (float ("3.14")))
print (type (float("three point fourteen")))

In the line print (type (float("three point fourteen"))), string "three point fourteen" is given as an argument to float() but it cannot be converted into a valid floating-point number so it causes an error.

#### Question 18e

Find the errors(s)

print ("Hello" + 2)
print ("Hello" + "2")
print ("Hello" * 2) 

The line print ("Hello" + 2) causes an error as addition operator (+) cannot concatenate a string and an int.

#### Question 18f

Find the errors(s)

print ("Hello"/2)
print ("Hello" / 2)

Both the lines of this Python code will give an error as strings cannot be used with division operator (/).

#### Question 19a

What will be the output produced?

x, y, z = True, False, False
a = x or (y and z)
b = (x or y) and z
print(a, b)

##### Output
True False

##### Explanation
1. x or (y and z)
⇒ True or (False and False)
⇒ True
2. (x or y) and z
⇒ (True or False) and False
⇒ True and False
⇒ False

#### Question 19b

What will be the output produced?

x, y = '5', 2
z = x + y
print(z)

This code produces an error in the line z = x + y as operands of addition operator (+) are string and int, respectively which is not supported by Python.

#### Question 19c

What will be the output produced?

s = 'Sipo'
s1 = s + '2'
s2 = s * 2
print(s1)
print(s2)

##### Output
Sipo2
SipoSipo

##### Explanation
1. s1 = s + '2' concatenates 'Sipo' and '2' storing 'Sipo2' in s1.
2. s2 = s * 2 repeats 'Sipo' twice storing 'SipoSipo' in s2.

#### Question 19d

What will be the output produced?

w, x, y, z = True , 4, -6, 2
result = -(x + z) < y or x ** z < 10
print(result)

##### Output
False

##### Explanation

-(x + z) < y or x ** z < 10
⇒ -(4 + 2) < -6 or 4 ** 2 < 10
⇒ -6 < -6 or 4 ** 2 < 10
⇒ -6 < -6 or 16 < 10
⇒ False or False
⇒ False

#### Question 20

Program is giving a weird result of "0.50.50.50.50.50.50..........". Correct it so that it produces the correct result which is the probability value (input as 0.5) times 150.

probability = input("Type a number between 0 and 1: ")
print("Out of 150 tries, the odds are that only", (probability * 150), "will succeed.")

[Hint. Consider its datatype.]

The corrected program is below:

probability = float(input("Type a number between 0 and 1: "))
print("Out of 150 tries, the odds are that only", (probability * 150), "will succeed.")

#### Question 21

print(r, end = ' ')
r = random.randint(10, 100) - 10
print(r)

Which of the following are the possible outcomes of the above code? Also, what can be the maximum and minimum number generated by line 2?

(a) 12 45 22

(d) 100 12 10

The possible outcomes of the above code can be:

Option (a) — 12 45 22

Maximum number can be 90 and minimum number can be 0.

#### Question 23

Consider the code given below:

import random
r = random.random() * 10
print(r, end = ' ')
r = random. random() * 10
print(r, end = ' ')
r = random.random() * 10
print(r)

Which of the following are the possible outcomes of the above code? Also, what can be the maximum and minimum number generated by line 2 ?

(a) 0.5 1.6 9.8
(b) 10.0 1.0 0.0
(c) 0.0 5.6 8.7
(d) 0.0 7.9 10.0

The possible outcomes of the above code can be:

Option (a) — 0.5 1.6 9.8
Option (c) — 0.0 5.6 8.7

Maximum number can be 9.999999..... and minimum number can be 0.

#### Question 24

Consider the code given below:

import statistics as st
v = [7, 8, 8, 11, 7, 7]
m1 = st.mean(v)
m2 = st.mode(v)
m3 = st.median(v)
print(m1, m2, m3)

Which of the following is the correct output of the above code?

(a) 7 8 7.5
(b) 8 7 7
(c) 8 7 7.5
(c) 8.5 7 7.5

The correct output of the above code is:

Option (c) — 8 7 7.5
