1 Objectives
Evaluate programming logic and problem-solving.
Assess understanding of control structures (if, for, while).
Test ability to use functions (modular and recursive).
Check usage of built-in functions and basic data handling.
1 Question 1: Simple I/O and Arithmetic
Write a program that takes two numbers and prints:
Their sum, difference, product, and average.
Sample Input:
Enter first number: 6
Enter second number: 4
Sample Output:
Sum = 10
Difference = 2
Product = 24
Average = 5.0
2 Question 2: Even, Odd, and Positive Check
Write a Python program that:
Takes an integer from the user.
Checks whether it is even or odd.
Also check if it’s positive, negative, or zero.
Use nested if-else statements.
3 Question 3: Multiplication Table using for Loop
Write a program that prints the multiplication table of a number entered by the user up to 10.
Sample Output:
Enter number: 5
5 x 1 = 5
5 x 2 = 10
...
5 x 10 = 50
4 Question 4: Factorial using while Loop
Write a Python program to find the factorial of a number using a while loop.
Sample Input: 5
Expected Output: Factorial of 5 = 120
5 Question 5: Sum of Digits using while Loop
Write a program that calculates the sum of digits of a number using a while loop.
Example:
Input: 1234 → Output: 10
6 Question 6: Fibonacci Series using for Loop
Write a program that prints the first n terms of the Fibonacci series using a for loop.
Input: n = 7
Output: 0 1 1 2 3 5 8
7 Question 7: Palindrome Checker (String & Loop)
Write a program that checks whether a given string is a palindrome (reads same forward and
backward).
Input: madam
Output: madam is a palindrome.
Hint: Use slicing or loop comparison.
8 Question 8: Function – Simple Calculator
Define a function calculator(num1, num2, op) that performs:
Addition (+)
Subtraction (-)
Multiplication (*)
Division (/)
Call the function based on user input.
Example:
Enter first number: 8
Enter operator (+, -, *, /): *
Enter second number: 5
Result: 40
9 Question 9: Recursive Problems (Choose any one)
Write a recursive function for either:
a) Factorial:
factorial(n) that returns n × factorial(n-1)
10 Question 10: Built-in Functions Practice
Given the list:
data = [23, 56, 12, 89, 34, 90, 45]
Write a program that prints:
Maximum value
Minimum value
Sum of all numbers
Average value
Count of numbers greater than 50
Use built-in functions: max(), min(), sum(), len().
11 Question 11: Write a Python program to convert any number from 1 to 9999 into words
using loops and conditions.
1. Example:
Input: 542
Output: five hundred forty two
2. Hints:
Create lists for word mappings:
ones = ["", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"]
teens = ["ten", "eleven", "twelve", "thirteen", "fourteen", "fifteen",
"sixteen", "seventeen", "eighteen", "nineteen"]
tens = ["", "", "twenty", "thirty", "forty", "fifty", "sixty", "seventy", "eighty", "ninety"]
Handle cases using if-elif-else:
1–9 → use ones
10–19 → use teens
20–99 → use tens + ones
100–999 → use hundred
1000–9999 → use thousand
