30. Constructor
Constructor is the special function that is automatically executed when an
object of a class is created. 1½

PART-IV

Answer all questions. 5x5=25

ww

34. a) To facilitate data abstraction, you will need to create two types 2
of functions: constructors and selectors.
Constructors are functions that build the abstract data type.
Selectors are functions that retrieve information from the data
type.
Ex: This city object will hold the city‟s name, and its latitude
and longitude. To create a city object, you‟d use a function like 3
city:= makecity (name, lat, lon)
To extract the information of a city object, you would use
functions like

getname(city)

kindly send me your key Answers to our email id - [email protected]

 www.Padasalai.Net www.Trb Tnpsc.com

getlat(city)
getlon(city)

b) Binary search also called half-interval search algorithm. It 1

finds the position of a search element within a sorted array.
Pseudo Code
 Start with the middle element
 If the search element is equal to the middle element of
the array, then return the index of the middle element.
 If not, then compare the middle element with the search
key 2
 If the search element is greater than the number in the

et
middle index, then select the elements to the right side
of the middle index, and go to Step-1.
 If the search element is less than the number in the

i.N
middle index, then select the elements to the left side of
the middle index, and start with Step-1.
 When a match is found, display success message with
the index of the element matched

la
 If no match is found for all comparisons, then display
unsuccessful message

A Suitable Example

35.a) Print( ) function

da

In Python, the print() function is used to display result on the 2½

screen
Syntax:
print (“string to be displayed as output ” )
Pa

print (variable )
print (“String to be displayed as output ”, variable)
print (“String1 ”, variable, “String 2”, variable, “String 3”
……)
w.

(Any one of syntax)

Any Suitable Example
ww

input( ) function
In Python, input( ) function is used to accept data as input at run 2½
time. The syntax for input() function is,
Syntax:
Variable = input (“prompt string”)
Any Suitable Example
b) Scope of variable refers to the part of the program, where it is 1
accessible.There are two types of scopes:Local Scope and
Global Scope
Local Scope- A variable declared inside the function's body is 1
known as local variable. It can be accessed only within the
function that it is created in
1

 www.Padasalai.Net www.Trb Tnpsc.com

Any Suitable Example

Global Scope -A variable, with global scope can be used
anywhere in the program. It can be created by defining a 1
variable outside the scope of any function/block.The „global‟
keyword is used to access a variable inside a function
1
Any Suitable Example
36.a) (3 marks can be allotted if anyone of the method is written)

The range() is a function used to generate a series of values in

Python. 3

Using range() function, you can create list with series of values.

et
The range() function has three arguments.

i.N
Syntax of range ( ) function:

range (start value, end value, step value)

la
start value – beginning value of series. Zero is the default
beginning value.
sa
end value – upper limit of series. Python takes the ending value
as upper limit – 1.
step value – It is an optional argument, which is used to
da

generate different interval of values.

(OR)
The range() is a built-in function, to generate series of values
Pa

between two numeric intervals.

The syntax of range() is as follows:
w.

range (start,stop,[step])

Where,
ww

start – refers to the initial value

stop – refers to the final value
step – refers to increment value, this is optional part.
Any valid example

b) (i) UNION (Symbol :∪) 1

It includes all tuples that are in tables A or in B. It also
eliminates duplicates. Set A Union Set B would be expressed as
A∪B
Suitable examples
1
(ii) INTERSECTION (symbol : ∩) A ∩ B
Defines a relation consisting of a set of all tuple that are in both
in A and B. However, A and B must be union-compatible. 1
Suitable examples

(iii)SET DIFFERENCE ( Symbol : - )

et
The result of A – B, is a relation which includes all tuples that
are in A but not in B.

i.N
The attribute name of A has to match with the attribute name in 1
B.
Suitable examples

la
(iv)CARTESIAN PRODUCT (Symbol : X )
Cross product is a way of combining two relations. The 1
sa
resulting relation contains, both relations being combined.
Suitable examples

37.a) SQL commands are divided into five categories:

1
DML - Data Manipulation Language
Pa

DDL - Data Definition Language

DCL - Data Control Language

w.

TCL - Transaction Control Language

DQL - Data Query Language

Explanation 4

b.
 Python uses Automatic Garbage Collection whereas
C++ does not. 5
 C++ is a statically typed language, while Python is a
dynamically typed language.
 Python runs through an interpreter, while C++ is pre-
compiled.
 Python code tends to be 5 to 10 times shorter than that
written in C++.
 In Python, there is no need to declare types explicitly

 www.Padasalai.Net www.Trb Tnpsc.com

where as it should be done in C++

 In Python, a function may accept an argument of any
type, and return multiple values without any kind of
declaration beforehand. Whereas in C++ return
statement can return only one value.

38.a) There are two ways to read a CSV file.
1. Use the csv module‟s reader function 1
2. Use the DictReader class
When you want to read from or write to a file,you need to open
it. Once the reading is over it needs to be closed.

et
csv.reader() function. 2
You can read the contents of CSV file with the help of
csv.reader() function. The reader function is designed to take

i.N
each line of the file and make a list of all columns
The syntax for csv.reader() is
csv.reader(fileobject,delimiter,fmtparams)

la
DictReader method
It creates an object which maps data to a dictionary. The keys
are given by the fieldnames as parameter. DictReader works by
sa
reading the first line of the CSV and using each comma 2
separated value in this line as a dictionary key. The columns in
each subsequent row then behave like dictionary values and can
da

be accessed with the appropriate key
