FLOW OF EXECUTION
#Decision making statements in python

Description
Statement
An if statement consists of a boolean expression
if statement
followed by one or more statements.
An if statement can be followed by an optional else
if...else statement statement, which executes when the boolean
expression is false.
If the first boolean expression is false, the next is
checked and so on. If one of the condition is true ,
if…elif…else
the corresponding statement(s) executes, and the
statement ends.
It allows to check for multiple test expression and
nested if…else statements execute different codes for more than two
conditions.

#Iteration or Looping construct statements in python

Description
Loop
for loop:
for<ctrl_var>in<sequence>:
It is used to iterate/repeat ifself over a range of
<statement in loop body>
values or sequence one by one.
else:
<statement>
while loop:
while<test_exp>:
The while loop repeatedly executes the set of
body of while
statement till the defined condition is true.
else:
body of else

 WORKING WITH FUNCTIONS

FUNCTION: A function is a subprogram that acts on data and often returns a value.
Python functions can belong to one of the following three categories:
1. Built-in Function 2. Functions defined in modules 3. User defined functions

Arguments and Parameters: The values being passed through a function call statement are
called argument (or actual parameter or actual argument).
The values received in the function definition/header are called parameter (or formal
parameter of formal argument)

Note: A function header cannot have expressions. It can have just names or identifiers.
Python supports three types of arguments/parameters:

1. Positional Argument (Required Arguments): The way of parameter and argument

specification is called Positional or Required arguments or Mandatory arguments

2. Default Arguments: A parameter having default value in the function header is known
as a default parameter.

3. Keyword (or named) Arguments: Keyword arguments are the named arguments with
assigned values being passed in the function call statement.
Rules for combining all three types of statements:
i. An argument list must first contain positional (required) arguments followed by any
keyword argument.
ii. Keyword arguments should be taken from the required arguments preferably.
iii. We cannot specify a value for an argument more than once.

There can be broadly two types of functions in Python:

1. Functions returning some value ( Non – void function)
2. Functions not returning any value (void function)

Scope of variable: Part(s) of program within which a name is legal and accessible, is
called scope of the variable (name).

There are two kinds of scopes in Python:

1. Global Scope: A name declared outside all the function body is called Global variable
and it has Global Scope.
2. Local Scope: A name declared within a function is called Local variable and it has
Local scope.

Lifetime: The time for which a variable or name remains in memory is called Lifetime of
variable.

 Built-in Functions

Function Description
eval() It is used to evaluate the value of a string and returns numeric value
min() and Both can take two or more arguments and returns the smallest and largest
max() value respectively.
abs() It returns the absolute value of a single number.
type() It is used to determine the type of variable.
round() It returns the result up to a specified number of digit .
len() Returns the length of an object.
range() It is used to define a series of numbers.
Functions form math module
ceil(x) It returns the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to x.
floor(x) It returns the largest integer that is less than or equal to x.
It returns the value of xy , where x and y are numeric expressions, and
pow(x,y)

Data File Handling

Key Points of Data File Handling

File:- A file is a collection of related data stored in computer storage for future data retrieval.
Data files can be stored in two ways:
1. Text Files: Text files are structured as a sequence of lines, where each line includes a sequence of characters.
2. Binary Files: A binary file is any type of file that is not a text file. WORKING WITH TEXT FILES:
Basic operations with files:
a. Read the data from a file
b. Write the data to a file
c. Append the data to a file
d. Delete a file a. Read the data from a file:
There are 3 types of functions to read data from a file. –read( ), readline( ), readlines( )

Binary files are used to store binary data such as images, video files, audio files etc. They store data in the binary
format (0‘s and 1‘s).
In Binary files there is no delimiter for a line. To open files in binary mode, when specifying a mode, add 'b' to it.
Pickle module can be imported to write or read data in a binary file.

CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a file format for data storage which looks like a text file. The information is
organized with one record on each line and each field is separated by comma.
CSV File Characteristics
• One line for each record
• Comma separated fields
• Space-characters adjacent to commas are ignored
• Fields with in-built commas are separated by double quote characters.
Compare text files, binary files and csv files and write pros and cons of each of them .

2: Amritya Seth is a programmer, who has recently been given a task to write a python code to perform the
following binary file operations with the help of two user defined functions/modules:
a. AddStudents() to create a binary file called STUDENT.DAT containing student information – roll number,
name and marks (out of 100) of each student.

b. GetStudents() to display the name and percentage of those students who have a percentage greater than 75.
In case there is no student having percentage > 75 the function displays an appropriate message. The function
should also display the average percent.

He has succeeded in writing partial code and has missed out certain statements, so he has left certain queries
in comment lines. You as an expert of Python have to provide the missing statements and other related
queries based on the following code of Amritya.

Answer any four questions (out of five) from the below mentioned questions.
import pickle

def AddStudents():

#1 statement to open the binary file to

write data

while True:

Rno = int(input("Rno :"))

Name = input("Name : ")

a. F= open("STUDENT.DAT",'wb')

b. F= open("STUDENT.DAT",'w')

c. F= open("STUDENT.DAT",'wb+')

d. F= open("STUDENT.DAT",'w+')

Correct Answer: a. F= open("STUDENT.DAT",'wb')

iv. Which of the following statement(s) are correct regarding the file access modes?
a. ‘r+’ opens a file for both reading and writing. File object points to its beginning.

b. ‘w+’ opens a file for both writing and reading. Adds at the end of the existing file if it exists and creates a
new one if it does not exist.

c. ‘wb’ opens a file for reading and writing in binary format. Overwrites the file if it exists and creates a new
one if it does not exist.

d. ‘a’ opens a file for appending. The file pointer is at the start of the file if the file exists.

Correct Answer: a

v. Which of the following statements correctly explain the function of seek() method?
a. tells the current position within the file.

b. determines if you can move the file position or not.

c. indicates that the next read or write occurs from that position in a file.

37. Subrat Ray is learning to work with Binary files in Python using a process
known as Pickling/de-pickling. His teacher has given him the following
incomplete code, which is creating a Binary file namely Mydata.dat and then
opens, reads and displays the content of this created file.

import #Statement-1
sqlist=list()
for k in range(5):
sqlist.append(k*k)
fout=open(“mydata.dat”, ) #Statement-2
93 | P a g
e
 (sqlist,fout) #Statement-3
fout.close()
fin=open(“Mydata.dat”, “rb” )
mylist= (fin) #Statement-4
fin.close()
print(mylist) #Statement-5

(i) Which module should be imported in Statement-1.

(a) pickle
A
(b) csv
(c) file
(d) text

(ii) Which file mode to be passed to write data in file in Statement-2.

(a) w+
C
(b) w
(c) wb
(d) a

(iii) What should be written in Statement-3 to write data onto the file.
(a) dump()
C
(b) write()
(c) pickle.dump()
(d) writeline()

(iv) Which function to be used in Statement-4 to read the data from the file.
(a) load()
D
(b) readline()
(c) readlines()
(d) pickle.load()

(v) The output after executing Statement-5 will be –

(a) 0 1 4 9 16
C
(b) 1, 4, 9, 16, 25
(c) [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]
(d) [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
