Q1. ONE MARKS QUESTIONS.

1.How are comments written in Python?

● Comments in Python can be written using the # symbol. Any text
following # on that line will be ignored by the interpreter.

For multi-line comments, triple quotes (''' or """) can be used

2.Give the use of index() in string.

● The index() method returns the lowest index of the substring if found in
the string. If the substring is not found, it raises a ValueError.

3.Explain the range() function and its parameters.

● The range() function generates a sequence of numbers. It can take one,
two, or three parameters:
○ range(stop): Generates numbers from 0 to stop - 1.
○ range(start, stop): Generates numbers from start to stop - 1.
○ range(start, stop, step): Generates numbers from start to stop - 1,

incrementing by step.

4.How to create a void function in Python?

○ A void function is a function that does not return any value. It is
defined using the def keyword followed by the function name. You
can use the return statement without a value or omit it entirely
def print_message():
print("This is a void function")

5.What is the difference between pop() and del in list?

● pop(index) removes and returns the element at the specified index. If no
index is specified, it removes and returns the last element.
● del is used to delete an element at a specified index but does not return
it.

6.Compare list and tuple (any two points).

● Mutability: Lists are mutable (can be changed), while tuples are
immutable (cannot be changed).
● Syntax: Lists are defined using square brackets [], whereas tuples are
defined using parentheses ().
7.What do the following functions return: clock() and gmtime()?
 ● clock(): Returns the current processor time as a float, indicating how
much time the program has been running.
● gmtime(): Returns the current time in UTC as a struct_time object.

8.List the syntax for handling exceptions.

● The syntax for handling exceptions in Python involves the use of try,
except, else, and finally.
try:
# Code that may raise an exception
except SomeException:
# Code to handle the exception
else:
# Code to execute if no exception occurs
finally:
# Code that will always execute

9.List any two functions in the math module.

● math.sqrt(x): Returns the square root of x.
● math.factorial(x): Returns the factorial of x.

10.Explain the function enumerate().

● The enumerate() function adds a counter to an iterable and returns it as
an enumerate object, which can be converted into a list of tuples.

11. What are the advantages of Python?

● Easy to Learn and Use
● Extensive Libraries and Frameworks
● Cross-Platform Compatibility
● Strong Community Support
● Versatility

12.List out main differences between lists and tuples.

Mutability: Lists are mutable (can be changed), while tuples are
immutable (cannot be changed).
Syntax: Lists use square brackets [], whereas tuples use parentheses ().
Performance: Tuples are generally faster than lists due to their
immutability.
13.Python is a scripting language. Comment.
● Yes, Python is often considered a scripting language because it is
interpreted, allowing developers to write scripts that automate tasks. It
can be used for simple command-line scripts or complex applications.

. Demonstrate set with an example.

A set is an unordered collection of unique elements

my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
my_set.add(6) # Adding an element
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

15.What is a dictionary? Give an example.

A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs, where each key is unique.
my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}
print(my_dict['name']) # Output: Alice

16. What is RegEx? Give an example

Regular Expressions (RegEx) are sequences of characters that form search
patterns, used for string searching and manipulation.
import re
pattern = r'\d+' # Matches one or more digits
result = re.findall(pattern, 'There are 2 cats and 3 dogs.')
print(result) # Output: ['2', '3']

17.What is a user-defined module? Give an example.

● A user-defined module is a Python file (with a .py extension) that
contains functions, classes, or variables that can be imported and used in
other Python files.

# my_module.py
def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}!"

# In another file
from my_module import greet
print(greet('Alice')) # Output: Hello, Alice!

18.Python is a case-sensitive language. Comment.

● Yes, Python is case-sensitive, meaning that variables, function names,
and class names with different cases are considered different identifiers.

19.What is dry run in Python?

● A dry run is the manual process of stepping through the code to
understand its logic without executing it on a computer. This helps in
identifying logical errors and understanding flow.

20.What is a lambda function? Give an example.

A lambda function is an anonymous function defined using the lambda keyword. It
can take any number of arguments but can only have one expression.
add = lambda x, y: x + y
print(add(3, 5)) # Output: 8

21.What is indentation?
● Indentation in Python refers to the use of spaces or tabs to define the
structure and flow of the code. It indicates a block of code belonging to a
specific control structure (like loops, functions, classes). Proper
indentation is crucial as it determines the grouping of statements.

22.Write code to print the elements of the list lst = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50].

lst = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]

for element in lst:
print(element)

. What is a slice operator?

● The slice operator (:) is used to retrieve a subset of elements from a
sequence (like lists, tuples, or strings). It allows you to specify a start
index, an end index, and an optional step.

23.What is a variable-length argument?

● Variable-length arguments allow a function to accept an arbitrary number
of arguments. In Python, this can be done using *args (for positional
arguments) and **kwargs (for keyword arguments).
24.How to add multiple elements at the end of the list?
● You can use the extend() method or the += operator to add multiple
elements to the end of a list.

25.Explain the remove() method.

● The remove() method is used to remove the first occurrence of a
specified value from a list. If the value is not found, it raises a ValueError.

26.Write a lambda function to add 10 to a given integer.

add_ten = lambda x: x + 10
print(add_ten(5)) # Output: 15

27. How to raise an exception with arguments?

● You can raise an exception with a custom message using the raise
keyword followed by the exception type and the message
raise ValueError("This is a custom error message.")

28.List the methods of the re package.

● Common methods in the re package include:
○ re.match(): Determines if the regular expression matches at the

beginning of the string.

○ re.search(): Searches the string for a match anywhere.
○ re.findall(): Returns all non-overlapping matches of the pattern in the

string.
○ re.sub(): Replaces occurrences of the pattern with a specified string

29.What is wb mode in file?

● The wb mode opens a file for writing in binary format. If the file does not
exist, it creates a new file. If the file exists, it truncates the file to zero
length.
