- Side # Numeric value with a default value 10
- Area # Numeric value with a default value 0
Methods :
- ExecArea ( ) # Method to calculate Area as
# Side * Side
- NewBox ( ) # Method to allow user to enter values of
# BoxID and Side. It should also
# Call ExecArea Method
- ViewBox ( ) # Method to display all the Attributes

print self.BoxID

(d) Differentiate between static and dynamic binding in Python ? Give suitable
examples of each. (2)
Ans. Static Binding: It allows linking of function call to the function definition during
compilation of the program.
Dynamic Binding: It allows linking of a function during run time. That means the code of the
function that is to be linked with function call is unknown until it is executed. Dynamic
binding of functions makes the programs more flexible.
(e) Write two methods in Python using the concept of Function Overloading
(Polymorphism) to perform the following operations: (2)
(i) A function having one argument as Radius, to calculate Area of Circle as
3.14*Radius*Radius.
(ii) A function having two arguments as Base and Height, to calculate Area of right-angled
triangle as 0.5*Base* Height.
Ans. def Area(R):
print 3.14*R*R
def Area(B,H):
print 0.5*B*H
Note: Python does not support function overloading “ ​as illustrated in
the example shown above ​”. If you run the code, the second Area(B,H)
definition will overide the first one.
3. (a) What will be the status of the following list after the First, Second and Third pass
of the bubble sort method used for arranging the following elements in ascending order
? (3)
Note : Show the status of all the elements after each pass very clearly underlining the
changes.
