GETTING STARTED WITH PYTHON (CHAPTER 5) NOTES

1. Which of the following identifier names are invalid and why?

i Serial_no. v Total_Marks

ii 1st_Room vi total-Marks

iii Hundred$ vii _Percentage

iv Total Marks viii True

Answer:

i) Serial_no. :- Invalid

Reason- (.) is not allowed in identifier

ii) 1st_Room :- Invalid

Reason- identifier can’t start with number

iii) Hundred$ :- Invalid

Reason- We can’t use special symbol $ in identifier

iv) Total Marks :- Invalid

Reason- We can’t use space between in identifier

v) Total_Marks :- Valid

Reason- We can use underscore between in identifier

vi) total-Marks :- Invalid

Reason- We can’t use hyphen between in identifier

vii) _Percentage:- Invalid

Reason- Identifier can’t begin with underscore

viii) True :- Invalid

Reason- We can’t use keyword as a identifier

Question 2. Write the corresponding Python assignment statements:

a) Assign 10 to variable length and 20 to variable breadth.

b) Assign the average of values of variables length and breadth to a variable sum.

c) Assign a list containing strings ‘Paper’, ‘Gel Pen’, and ‘Eraser’ to a variable stationery.

d) Assign the strings ‘Mohandas’, ‘Karamchand’, and ‘Gandhi’ to variables first, middle and
last.

e) Assign the concatenated value of string variables first, middle and last to variable fullname.
Make sure to incorporate blank spaces appropriately between different parts of names.

Answer:

a) Assign 10 to variable length and 20 to variable breadth.

length = 10

breadth = 20

b) Assign the average of values of variables length and breadth to a variable sum.

Sum = (length + breadth)/2

c) Assign a list containing strings ‘Paper’, ‘Gel Pen’, and ‘Eraser’ to a variable stationery.

Stationary=[‘Paper’ , ‘Gel Pen’ , ‘Eraser’

d) Assign the strings ‘Mohandas’, ‘Karamchand’, and ‘Gandhi’ to variables first, middle and last.

first = ‘Mohandas’

middle= ‘Karamchand’

last= ‘Gandhi’

e) Assign the concatenated value of string variables first, middle and last to variable fullname. Make
sure to incorporate blank spaces appropriately between different parts of names.

fullname = first +” “+ middle +” “+ last

3. Write logical expressions corresponding to the following statements in Python and evaluate the
expressions (assuming variables num1, num2, num3, first, middle, last are already having

11. Write a Python program to calculate the amount payable if money has been lent on simple
interest. Notes Ch 5.indd 117 08-Apr-19 12:35:13 PM 2020-21 118 Computer Science – Class xi
Principal or money lent = P, Rate of interest = R% per annum and Time = T years. Then Simple
Interest (SI) = (P x R x T)/ 100. Amount payable = Principal + SI. P, R and T are given as input to
the program.

Answer:

principal=int(input(“P=”))

rate=int(input(“I=”))

time=int(input(“T=”))

defamount_pay(principal,rate,time):

simple_intrest=(principal*rate*time)/100

TOTAL_amount=Print+simple_intrest

returnTOTAL_amount

print(“Total Payble amount”)

print(amount_pay(principal,rate,time))

12.Write a program to calculate in how many days a work will be completed by three persons A,
B and C together. A, B, C take x days, y days and z days respectively to do the job alone. The
formula to calculate the number of days if they work together is xyz/(xy + yz + xz) days where x,
y, and z are given as input to the program.

Answer:

x=int(input(“x=”))

y=int(input(“Y=”))

z=int(input(“Y=”))
