Practice Questions - Class: XII Session: 2021-22 Computer Science (Code 083) (Theory: Term-1) 1. If the value of j is 5, the expression i! has the value False has the value True sets the value of i to 6 sets the value of i to -5 oe 2. The main difference between the modes 'w’ and ‘a! when opening a file in Python is that a. 'w is used for writing a file and 'a' for reading a file. b. 'w over-writes an existing file while 'a' writes to the end of the file, c. 'w is used with text files while 'a' is used with binary files d._'w gives an error if the file does not exist while 'a' creates it with no error. 3. Sushma gets the current date and time as a string x. Its value is "2021-10-30 12:49:48..216062", Sushma prints the value of x[11:16] and gets "12:49". Which of these will contain the date in yyyy- mm-dd format? x[8:9] x(0:10] x[1:10] x{tt3] 4, Python's Pickle module is used for serializing and de-serializing any Python object structure and dumping / loading it to or from a binary file.

This is one of the sample lines in the log file: 2021-09-01 10:03:00, www.google.com Which of these lines would be used by the program to open the file? logfile = open("internet_access.log', ‘rb*) logfile = open(' internet_access. log" ,'w') logfile = open('internet_access.log’, ‘at") logfile = open(’internet_access.log', ‘ab’)10. 12. 15, Which of these fimetions can be used to set a file's current position? seek() set() tell) open() eee When setting the current position of a file, the position CANNOT be set with reference to which of these? the beginning of the file the current file position the middle of the file the end of the file eaege Ifa function is defined by the line "def calculate(p, q=100, r=10) true? which of the following is a. p isan optional parameter ». qand r are optional parameters c. q will always have value 100 in the function 4. the above line will cause a syntax error Which of these points about the return statement is FALSE? ‘A return statement can only be used inside a funetion A retum statement can be used without any expression When encountered, a return statement terminates a function ‘A function cannot have more than one return statements oe ACSV file isa text file can store images is a type of python program isa Computer Software Validation file eege Python's abs() function retums the absolute value of number passed to it.

A text file has the same number of characters in each line unlike a binary file. A text file has a special End Of File character unlike a binary file An HTML file is an example of a text file while a CSV file is an example of a binary file. Every character in a text file can occur in a binary file but the reverse is not true. eaoge Read the below and answer questions 17 and 18: The exponentiation operator in Python (**) has higher precedence than the division (/) and multiplication (*) operators, meaning that ** will be evaluated before / and * in an expression. Operators / and * have the same precedence. Further, ** evaluates from right to left, meaning that if an expression has multiple operators of the same precedence of **, the operator on the right will be evaluated before the operator on the left. On the other hand, / and * evaluate from left to right. 17, Which operator will be evaluated first in this expression? 6tae2e2/2 . the first ** from the left the second ** from the left / 18. What will be the value of this expression: asrz3ar2 a. 16.0 b. 10 cd d. 1/16 19. Which of these statements about for and while loops in Python is TRUE? a. A for loop usually run a given number of times; a while loop runs while a condition is met. b. Statements in a for loop are always run at least once; those in a while loop may never be run. c. A for loop cannot contain another for loop; a white loop can contain another while loop. 4. A for loop always has to have a loop counter; a while loop never uses a loop counter. 20, How does a Python program know where a FoR block ENDS? a, when it finds a closing bracket (}) character b. when it finds the keyword ENDFOR ¢. when it finds a line with matching indentation 4. when it finds a colon (:) character21. Sonal wrote the following program print_students. py to print the number of students in her class. class = 5 section students = 30 print ("There are", students, “students in class", class, section) However, when she ran the program, she got the following output: File ".\prin class = 5 Syntaxerror: invalid syntax students.py", line 1 Which of these changes will make the program run without error? a. writing '=-' instead of '' (correct assignment operator) b. writing "5" instead of 5 (variable should be a string) changing the variable name (‘class' is a reserved word) 4. adding a colon (':') at the end of the statement (begin indented block) Read the following and answer questions 22 and 23: A log file records the time, userid, record number and number of bytes read from a certain database.

What will be the output of this program? ea def change_values(): global » a-5 P=peg return (p) change_values() print(p, q) Read the information below and answer questions 48 and 49 In Python and other languages, a ‘regular expression’ is a pattern of characters in which some characters have a special meaning. Specifically 1. Any characters enclosed within square brackets ([]) represent any one of those characters 2.A* following a character represents zero or more of those characters. 3. All letters and digits represent themselves Thus: ‘ab* could represent ‘a, ‘ab, 'abb’,'abbb' and so on but NOT ‘bbb’ or ‘aba’, (Rules 2 and 3) star[ekt} could represent ‘stare, ‘stark’ or ‘start’ but NOT 'star' or ‘are’ (Rules 2 and 3) albed* could represent ‘a, ‘ab’, ‘abc, ‘acdd! and so on but not ‘aba’ or ‘aa’ (Rules 1-3) 48, Which of these would NOT be represented by [ab]e*? abe be bece 49. A factory codes its products using a series of letters and numbers.
