Q. No. Question M CO# KL

1 What type of typing does Python use, and what does it imply 2 CO1 K4
about type conversions? Provide an example to support your
answer.
Answer: Python uses strong typing, which means that it
does not perform implicit type conversions. For example,
adding an integer and a string will raise a TypeError.
2 Consider the following code snippet: 2 CO1 K4
y = 2.0
y = int(y) + 1.0
print(y, type(y))
What is the output of this code?
Answer: 3.0 <class 'float'>
3 Given the following code snippet: 2 CO1 K3
str_var = "A string"
count = 0
for c in str_var:
count += 1
print(count)
What is the program's output?

4 How is each expression evaluated? Predict the answer and 2 CO1 K3
give reasons.
a. 2 * 2 ** 2 ** 3
b. 10 + 3 * 2 / 4
Answer:

● Expression (a): 512

● Expression (b): 11.5

5 Write a program that takes user inputs in a while loop until the 2 CO1 K3
user enters "begin". Test the code with the given input values
to check that the loop does not terminate until the input is
"begin".
Once the input "begin" is received, print "The while loop
condition has been met.". Enter different input words to see
when the while loop condition is met.
Answer:
# Program to take user input until "begin" is entered
while True:
user_input = input("Enter a word (type 'begin' to exit): ")
if user_input.lower() == "begin":
print("The while loop condition has been met.")
break # Exit the loop when "begin" is entered
else:
print(f"You entered: {user_input}. Continue entering
words.")

# Test the code with different input values

(Or)
10 b) (i) Write a program that prompts the user to enter an 7 CO1 K3
integer and checks whether the number is divisible by
both 5 and 6, divisible by 5 or 6, or just one of them (but
not both). Here is a sample run:

Page 3 of 10
SECE/CoE/CIA/007/Rev. 01/24.03.2022
 Enter an integer:10
Is 10 divisible by 5 and 6? False
Is 10 divisible by 5 or 6? True
Is 10 divisible by 5 or 6, but not both? True
Answers:
# Program to check divisibility by 5 and 6
# Prompt user for an integer input
num = int(input("Enter an integer: "))

# Check divisibility
divisible_by_5_and_6 = (num % 5 == 0) and (num % 6
== 0)
divisible_by_5_or_6 = (num % 5 == 0) or (num % 6 == 0)
divisible_by_5_or_6_not_both = (divisible_by_5_or_6) and
not divisible_by_5_and_6

# Output results
print(f"Is {num} divisible by 5 and 6?
{divisible_by_5_and_6}")
print(f"Is {num} divisible by 5 or 6?
{divisible_by_5_or_6}")
print(f"Is {num} divisible by 5 or 6, but not both?
{divisible_by_5_or_6_not_both}")
(ii) Explain how Python handles memory management. 7 CO1 K3
Discuss the concepts of reference counting and garbage
collection, providing code examples to illustrate each
concept.
Answers:
Reference Counting:
● Each object in Python maintains a count of
references pointing to it. When the reference count
drops to zero, the memory occupied by the object
is deallocated.
Garbage Collection:
● Python also has a garbage collector that helps
reclaim memory by identifying and disposing of
objects that are no longer in use, particularly those
involved in circular references.

11 a) Having a mobile device can be a lifesaver on long road trips. 14 CO1 K3

Programs like Google Maps find the shortest route and
estimate the time of arrival. The time of arrival is based on the
Page 4 of 10
SECE/CoE/CIA/007/Rev. 01/24.03.2022
current time plus how long the trip will take.
Write a program that
(1) inputs the current time and estimated length of a trip,
(2) calculates the time of arrival, and
(3) outputs the results in hours and minutes.
Your program should use the following prompts (user input in
bold):
Current hour (0-23)? 13
Current minute (0-59)? 25
Trip time (in minutes)? 340

In this example, the current time is 13:25 (1:25pm). The trip

time is 340 minutes (5 hours and 40 minutes). 340 minutes
after 13:25 is 19:05 (7:05pm).
Your program should output the result in this format:
Arrival hour is 19
Arrival minute is 5

Conditions:
The arrival hour must be between 0 and 23. Ex: Adding 120
minutes to 23:00 should be 1:00, not 25:00. The arrival minute
must be between 0 and 59. Ex: Adding 20 minutes to 8:55
should be 9:15, not 8:75.
Your code must not use Python keywords, such as if or while.
The solution requires Expressions only addition, multiplication,
division, and modulo.
# Input current time and trip duration
current_hour = int(input("Current hour (0-23)? ")) # e.g., 13
current_minute = int(input("Current minute (0-59)? ")) # e.g., 25
trip_time = int(input("Trip time (in minutes)? ")) # e.g., 340

# Calculate total minutes from current time

total_current_minutes = current_hour * 60 + current_minute

# Calculate arrival time in total minutes

total_arrival_minutes = total_current_minutes + trip_time

# Calculate arrival hour and minute

arrival_hour = (total_arrival_minutes // 60) % 24 # Ensure hour is between 0-23
arrival_minute = total_arrival_minutes % 60 # Ensure minute is between 0-59

# Output results
print("Arrival hour is", arrival_hour)
print("Arrival minute is", arrival_minute)

11 b) (i) Complete the following steps to calculate a triangle's area 8 CO1 K3
and print the result of each step. The area of a triangle is
(b*h)/2 where b is the base and h is the height.

1. Calculate the area of a triangle with base = 7 and

height = 3.5.
2. Round the triangle's area to one decimal place.
3. Round the triangle's area to the nearest integer value.
Answer:
# Step 1: Define base and height
base = 7
height = 3.5

# Step 2: Calculate the area of the triangle

area = (base * height) / 2
print("Area of the triangle:", area)

# Step 3: Round the area to one decimal place

rounded_area_one_decimal = round(area, 1)
print("Rounded area (one decimal place):",
rounded_area_one_decimal)

# Step 4: Round the area to the nearest integer value

rounded_area_integer = round(area)
print("Rounded area (nearest integer):",
rounded_area_integer)
(ii) Write a program that reads two integer values, n1 and 6 CO1 K3
n2.
1. Using a while loop, calculate the product of all
the numbers between n1 and n2 (inclusive
of n1 and n2).
2. Using a for loop, perform the same calculation to
find the product of all the numbers
between n1 and n2 (inclusive of n1 and n2).
# Input two integer values
n1 = int(input("Enter the first integer (n1): "))
n2 = int(input("Enter the second integer (n2): "))

# Using a while loop to calculate the product of numbers

product_while = 1
current = n1

while current <= n2:

product_while *= current
current += 1

print("Product of numbers (while loop):", product_while)
