UNIT I – Introduction to Python
1. Answer: str (string)
Explanation: input() always returns a string.
2. Answer: c) while
Explanation: while is a reserved keyword; print is a built-in function, not a keyword.
3. Answer: 11
Explanation: Multiplication has higher precedence: 2*3=6, then 5+6=11.
2
4. Answer: # This is a comment
Explanation: # starts a comment in Python.
5. Answer: <class 'float'>
Explanation: Division / returns a float, so 10 / 2 = 5.0.
UNIT II – Control Structures
1. Answer: for loop
Explanation: Use for when you know the number of iterations.
2. Answer: break
Explanation: break exits the loop immediately.
3. Answer: Yes
Explanation: Since x = 5 > 2, the if block executes.
4. Answer:
for i in range(1, 6):
print(i)
Explanation: range(1, 6) goes from 1 to 5.
5. Answer:
0
2
Explanation: When i == 1, continue skips printing.
UNIT III – Functions
1. Answer: 8
Explanation: b defaults to 5; 3 + 5 = 8.
2. Answer: Recursion is when a function calls itself.
Example: factorial function.
3. Answer: Anonymous functions created with lambda, used for short functions.
4. Answer:
5. func_name(param1=value1, param2=value2)
6. Answer: Parameters are variables in function definition; arguments are values passed
when calling.
UNIT IV – Strings and Collections
3
1. Answer: len(list_name)
2. Answer: Lists are mutable; tuples are immutable.
3. Answer: int("123") converts string to integer.
4. Answer: ell
Explanation: s[1:4] slices characters at indices 1, 2, 3.
5. Answer:
dict_name[key] = value
UNIT V – File Operations
1. Answer: "a" (append mode)
2. Answer:
with open("data.txt", "r") as f:
lines = f.readlines()
3. Answer: Closes the file, freeing resources.
4. Answer:
with open("file.txt", "w") as f:
f.write("Hello")
5. Answer: os module
UNIT VI – Packages
