LIST OF EXPERIMENTS

Experi Title Learning

ment. Outcomes
No.

1.1 Write a Python program to print the calendar of a given month and CO1
year.

1.2 Write a Python program to calculate number of days between two CO1
dates.

1.3 Write a Python program to check whether a specified value is CO1

contained in a group of values.

Test Data :
3 -> [1, 5, 8, 3] : True
-1 -> [1, 5, 8, 3] : False

1.4 Write a Python program to get OS name, platform and release CO1
information.
2. Mutable and Immutable types

Write a Python program which accepts a sequence of comma- CO2

2.1 separated numbers from user and generate a list and a tuple with
those numbers.

2.2 Write a Python program to display the first and last colors from the CO2
following list.[orange, purple, red,yellow,blue]
2.3. Write a Python program to concatenate all elements in a list into a
string and return it.

2.4 Write a Python program to print out a set containing all the colors CO2
from color_list_1 which are not present in color_list_2.

Test Data :
color_list_1 = set(["White", "Black", "Red"])
color_list_2 = set(["Red", "Green"])
Expected Output :
{'Black', 'White'}

2.5 Write a Python script to print a dictionary where the keys are CO2
numbers between 1 and 15 (both included) and the values are square
of keys. Sample Dictionary
{1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 5: 25, 6: 36, 7: 49, 8: 64, 9: 81, 10: 100, 11:
121, 12: 144, 13: 169, 14: 196, 15: 225}

2.6 Write a Python program to print all unique values in a dictionary. CO2
Sample Data : [{"V":"S001"}, {"V": "S002"}, {"VI": "S001"},
{"VI": "S005"}, {"VII":"S005"}, {"V":"S009"},{"VIII":"S007"}]
Expected Output : Unique Values: {'S005', 'S002', 'S007', 'S001',
'S009'}

3. Data Structures, RE and Plots

3.1 Develop programs for data structure algorithms using python – CO6
