(D) Answer the following questions.

N
1. List the key features of Python.
Ans. Some important features of Python:

IO
i. Python is easy to understand and learn for beginners.
ii. Python interpreters are available for many operating
systems.

AT
iii. Python is a multi-paradigm programming language.
(Procedural and Object-oriented)
iv. Its formatting is visually uncluttered, and it often uses
IC
English keywords.
v. The simple and easy-to-learn syntax of Python
emphasises readability.
BL

vi. It supports modules and packages, which encourages

program modularity and code reuse.
vii. It can be easily integrated with languages like C, C++,
PU

Java etc.
2. What are iteration statements in Python? Define each
one of them.
Ans. Iteration or loop statement in python are used to repeat
steps till the condition is true. Python has two iteration
K

statements; for and while.

i. for loop: The for loop is used when the number of
TU

repetitions is pre-known. It is also known as definite

loop.
ii. while loop: The while loop is used when the number
of repetitions is not known and are based on a
condition. The loop repeats till the condition is true.

Computer-8
 3. Describe the different types of decision making statements
available in Python.
Ans. In Python if is the main decision making or conditional
statement. We can use it in four ways.
i. if statement
ii. if...else statement

S
iii. Nested if statement
iv. elif statement

N
Python supports the usual relational operators for writing
condition.

IO
i. if Statement
It is one of the commonly used flow of control
statements. It allows to check a condition for true

AT
evaluation. If the condition is evaluated to true, the
statement(s) following the if statement will be executed.
Syntax:
IC
if(condition): #Condition to be check
statements #Statement to be executed if the
condition is true
BL

ii. if...else
The if else statements will execute one block of
statements if the condition is true and another block of
statements will be executed if the condition is false.
PU

Syntax:
if(condition):
statements #Block of statement to be executed if
the condition is true
K

else:
statements #Block of statement to be executed if
TU

the condition is false

iii. Nested if Statement
Multiple number of if statements can be used one inside
the other. When we need to check a condition when
previous condition is true, nested if is used. In such cases,
control will check second condition when first condition

Computer-8
 is true.
Syntax:
if (condition):
statements
if (condition): #this condition will be checked if
the previous condition is true.

S
statements
else:

N
statements
iv. elif statement

IO
Python also allows to check multiple levels of conditions.
elif is used when we have to check another condition
when the previous condition is false. If the second

AT
condition is true, statements following it will be
executed otherwise statements with else will be
executed. In other languages for such purpose else if
statement is used.
IC
Syntax:
if (condition):
BL

statements
elif (condition): #This condition will be checked if the
previous condition is false
PU

statements
else:
statements
4. How is a .pyc file different from a .py file?
Ans. A Python program file is saved with extention .py. When
K

the Python program file is compiled, its byte code is

created, this byte code file is saved with extension .pyc.
TU

(E) Answer in short.

1. Is Python case-sensitive?
Ans. Yes, Python is case-sensitive language.
2. How is Python an interpreter language?

Computer-8
 Ans. Once compiled, a Python program file is saved as byte
code. This byte code is interpreted to execute program
using Python Virtual Machines. Thus, Python is an
interpreter language.
3. What is the significance of indentation in python?
Ans. Python use indentation (whitespace at the beginning of

S
a line) to define scope in the code. Other programming
languages often use curly-brackets for this purpose.

N
4. How does nested if and elif differ in python?
Ans. Nested if is used when we have to check another

IO
condition when the first condition is true. An elif is
used when another condition has to be checked when
the first condition is false.
5.
Ans.
AT
What does the “in” operator do?
A list or sequence has to be defined to use a for loop in
Python. The membership operator 'in' checks whether a
IC
value is present in a list or not. The loop will continue
to execute for all the values present in the list. The loop
will stop at the end of the list.
BL

Example: Program to print a list

x=8
For x in [8, 9, 10, 12]:
PU

Print (x)

(F) Application based questions

1. Without using the interpreter, tell us how many times will
K

Python execute the code inside the following while loop?

i=0
TU

while i < 2 :
print “Hello ...”
i = i+1
Two times

for a in range(25,500,25):
print a
a=25
