Syntax Errors in Python

1Example:

if x = 10:
print("x is equal to 10")
In this example, we are trying to assign the value 10 to the
variable x using the assignment operator (=) inside an if
statement.

But the correct syntax for comparing values in an if statement is

to use the comparison operator (==).

So here's how you fix this one:

if x == 10:
print("x is equal to 10")

2. Indentation Errors in Python

Example:

for i in range(10):
print(i)
In this example, the code inside the for loop is not indented
correctly.

Fix:

for i in range(10):
print(i)

3. Name Errors in Python

Example:

my_variable = 5
print(my_vairable)
In this example, we misspelled the variable name my_variable
as my_vairable.

Fix:

my_variable = 5
print(my_variable)

4. Example:

5. Example:

Example:

x = "5"
y = 10
result = x + y
In this example, we are trying to concatenate a string and an
integer, which is not possible.

Fix:

x = "5"
y = 10
result = int(x) + y
Here, we convert the string to an integer using the int() function
before performing the addition.

6.Example:
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
print(my_list[5])
In this example, we are trying to access an item at index 5,
which is outside the range of the list.

Fix:

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
print(my_list[3])
Here, we access the item at index 3, which is within the range
of the list.

7.Example:

my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 25}

print(my_dict["gender"])
In this example, we are trying to access the value for the key
"gender", which does not exist in the dictionary.

Fix:

my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 25}

print(my_dict.get("gender", "Key not found"))
Here, we use the get() method to access the value for the key
"gender". The second argument of the get() method specifies
the default value to return if the key does not exist.

8. Example:

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
my_list.append(5)
my_list.add(6)
In this example, we are trying to add an item to the list using
the add() method, which does not exist for lists.
Fix:

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
my_list.append(5)

9. TypeError:
x= “10”
y= 5
Z=x+y
print(z)

we cannot concatenatea string and an integer using the + operator. To fix

this error, we need to convert the integer y to a string before concatenating it
with x , like so:
x = "10"
y=5
Z = x + str(y)
print(z)

10.
my_string = "Hello, world!"
my_string.reverse()

This error message indicates that we are trying to access an attribute

(reverse) that is not defined for the type of object (str) we are working
with.
To fix this error, we need to use a different method or attribute that is defined
for strings, like [::-1] to reverse the string:
my_string = "Hello, world!"
reversed_string = my_string[::-1]
print(reversed_string)

11. def calculate_factorial(n):

result = 1
 for i in range(1, n):
result = result * i
return result

print(calculate_factorial(5))

The reason is a logical error in the code that causes it to produce incorrect
results. The for loop is iterating from 1to n-1instead of from 1 to n , causing
the issue. This means that the factorial is being calculated incorrectly,
resulting in an incorrect output.

o fix this logical error, we need to change the range of the for loop to include
the number n itself. Here's the corrected code:
def calculate_factorial(n):
result = 1
for i in range(1, n+1):
result = result * i
return result

print(calculate_factorial(5))

C. Boolean Types
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: A) Sequence Types

Explanation:
The sequence Types of Data Types are the list, the tuple, and the range. In order
to store multiple values in an organized and efficient manner, we use the concept
of sequences. There are several types of sequences, including strings, Unicode
strings, lists, tuples, bytearrays, and range objects. Strings and Unicode strings are
the most common. Dictionary and set data structures are used to store non-
sequential information.

6. Float type of data type is represented by the float class.

A. True
B. False

Answer: A) True

Explanation:

The float data type is represented by the float class of data types. A true number
with a floating-point representation is represented by the symbol. It is denoted
by the use of a decimal point. Optionally, the character e or E followed by a

7. bytes, bytearray, memoryview are type of the ___ data type.

A. Mapping Type
B. Boolean Type
C. Binary Types
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: C) Binary Types

Explanation:

The Binary type's data type is represented by the bytes, byte array, and memory
view types. Binary data manipulation is accomplished through the use of bytes
and byte array. The memory view makes use of the buffer protocol in order to
access the memory of other binary objects without the need to make a copy of
the data. Bytes objects are immutable sequences of single bytes that can only be
changed. When working with ASCII compatible data, we should only use them
when necessary.

8. The type() function can be used to get the data type of any object.

A. True
B. False

Answer: A) True

Explanation:

The type() function can be used to find out what type of data an object contains.
Typing an object passed as an argument to Python's type() function returns the
data type of the object passed as an argument to Python's type() function. This
function is extremely useful during the debugging phase of the process.

9. Binary data type is a fixed-width string of length bytes?

A. True
B. False

Answer: A) True

Explanation:
It is a fixed-width string of length bytes, where the length bytes is declared as an
optional specifier to the type, and its width is declared as an integer. If the length
is not specified, the default value is 1. When necessary, values are right-extended
to fill the entire width of the column by using the zero byte as the first byte.

11. Amongst which of the following is / are the logical operators in Python?

A. and
B. or
C. not
D. All of the mentioned above

Answer: D) All of the mentioned above

Explanation:

Python's logical operators are represented by the terms and, or, and not. In
Python, logical operators are used to perform logical operations on the values of
variables that have been declared. Either true or false is represented by the value.
The truth values provide us with the information we need to figure out the
conditions. In Python, there are three types of logical operators: the logical AND,
the logical OR, and the logical NOT operators. Keywords or special characters are
used to represent operators in a program.

The ** is an exponentiation operator in the Python programming language. In

Python, the ** operator is used to raise the number on the left to the power of
the exponent on the right, which is represented by the symbol **. In other words,
in the expression 2 ** 3, 2 is raised to the third power, which is a positive number.
In mathematics, we frequently see this expression written as 23, but what is really
happening is that the numbers 2 and 3 are being multiplied by themselves three
times. In Python, we would get the same result of 8 by running either 2 ** 3 or 2 *
2 * 2.

17. The list.index(x[, start[, end]]) is used to ___.

A. Return zero-based index in the list

B. Raises a ValueError if there is no such item
C. Both A and B
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: C) Both A and B

Explanation:

The index(x[, start[, end]]) is used to return the zero-based index in the list of the
first item whose value is equal to x. index() is used to return the zero-based index
in the list of the first item whose value is equal to x. If there is no such item, the
method raises a ValueError. The optional arguments start and end are interpreted
in the same way as in the slice notation and are used to restrict the search to a
specific subsequence of the list of elements. Instead of using the start argument
to calculate the index, the returned index is computed relative to the beginning
of the full sequence.

21. Conditional statements are also known as ___ statements.

A. Decision-making
B. Array
C. List
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: A) Decision-making

Explanation:

Conditional statements, also known as decision-making statements, are used to

make decisions. In programming, we want to be able to control the flow of
execution of our program, and we want to be able to execute a specific set of
statements only if a specific condition is met, and a different set of statements
only if the condition is not met. As a result, we use conditional statements to
determine whether or not a specific block of code should be executed based on a
given condition.

Discuss this Question

22. The if statement is the most fundamental decision-making statement?

A. True
B. False
Answer: A) True

Explanation:

The if statement is the most fundamental decision-making statement, and it

determines whether or not the code should be executed based on whether or not
the condition is met. If the condition in the if statement is met, a code body is
executed, and the code body is not otherwise executed. The statement can be as
simple as a single line of code or as complex as a block of code.

Answer: A) if a<=100:

Explanation:

The if statement in Python is used to make decisions in various situations. It

contains a body of code that is only executed when the condition specified in the
if statement is true; if the condition is not met, the optional else statement is
executed, which contains code that is executed when the else condition is met.

25. Which of the following is not used as conditional statement in Python?

A. switch
B. if...else
C. elif
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: A) switch

Explanation:
Python does not have a switch or case statement like other programming
languages. Because Python lacks switch statement functionality in comparison to
other programming languages, it is not recommended for beginners. As a result,
we use other alternatives that can replace the functionality of the switch case
statement and make programming easier and faster. We employ dictionary
mapping to get around this limitation.

26. Which of the following is false regarding conditional statement in

Python?

A. If-elif is the shortcut for the if-else chain

B. We use the dictionary to replace the Switch case statement
C. We cannot use python classes to implement the switch case statement
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: C) We cannot use python classes to implement the switch case

statement

Explanation:

It is possible to shorten the if-else chain by using the if-elif construct. Use the if-
elif statement and include an else statement at the end, which will be executed if
none of the if-elif statements in the previous section are true. As a replacement
for the Switch case statement, we use the dictionary data type, whose key values
function similarly to those of the cases in a switch statement. When
implementing the switch case statement in Python, we can make use of Python
classes. A class is a type of object function Object() { [native code] } that can be
extended with properties and methods. So, let's look at an example of how to
perform a switch case using a class by creating a switch method within the
Python switch class and then calling it.

Explanation:

In this case, the If condition is evaluated first and then the else condition. If it is
true, the elif statement will be executed. If it is false, nothing will happen. elif is an
abbreviation for else if. It enables us to check for multiple expressions at the
same time. Similarly, if the condition for if is False, the condition for the next elif
block is checked, and so on. If all of the conditions are met, the body of the else

B. B is greater
C. Both A and B
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: B) B is greater

Explanation:

In the above code, the assign value for a = 13 and b = 15. There are three
conditions mentioned in the code,

1. print("A is greater") if a > b , here 13 is not greater than 15 so condition

becomes false
2. print("=") if a == b , here 13 is not equal to 15 so condition becomes false
3. else print("B is greater"), condition 1 and 2 will not be true so program
control will switch to else part and output will be "B is greater".

40. If a condition is true the not operator is used to reverse the logical state?

A. True
B. False

Answer: A) True

Explanation:

In order to make an if statement test whether or not something occurred, we

must place the word not in front of our condition. When the not operator is used
before something that is false, it returns true as a result. And when something
that is true comes before something that is false, we get False. That is how we
determine whether or not something did not occur as claimed. In other words,
the truth value of not is the inverse of the truth value of yes. So, while it may not
appear to be abstract, this operator simply returns the inverse of the Boolean
value.

44. The continue keyword is used to ___ the current iteration in a loop.

A. Initiate
 B. Start
C. End
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: C) End

Explanation:

The continue keyword is used to terminate the current iteration of a for loop (or a
while loop) and proceed to the next iteration of the for loop (or while loop). With
the continue statement, you have the option of skipping over the portion of a
loop where an external condition is triggered, but continuing on to complete the
remainder of the loop. As a result, the current iteration of the loop will be
interrupted, but the program will continue to the beginning of the loop. The
continue statement will be found within the block of code that is contained
within the loop statement, and is typically found after a conditional if statement.

B. It first checks the condition and then jumps into the instructions
C. The loop stops running when the condition becomes fail, and control will
move to the next line of code.
D. All of the mentioned above

Answer: D) All of the mentioned above

Explanation:

While loops are used to execute statements repeatedly as long as the condition is
met, they are also used to execute statements once. It begins by determining the
condition and then proceeds to execute the instructions. Within the while loop,
we can include any number of statements that we want. The condition can be

Answer: A) True

Explanation:

It is the portion of a program where a variable is recognized that is referred to as

its scope. It is not possible to see the parameters and variables defined within a
function from outside of the function. As a result, they are limited in their
application. The lifetime of a variable is the period of time during which the
variable is stored in the memory of the computer. The lifetime of variables
contained within a function is equal to the length of time the function is in
operation. When we return from the function, they are completely destroyed. As
a result, a function does not retain the value of a variable from previous calls to

open an existing file, close() function is used to close a file which opened, read()
function is used when we want to read the contents from an existing file, write()
function is used to write the contents in a file and append() function is used when
we want to append the text or contents to a specific position in an existing file.

64. Binary files are stored in the form of 0s and 1s?

A. True
B. False

Answer: A) True

Explanation:

Binary files are also stored in terms of bytes (0s and 1s), but, unlike text files,
these bytes do not represent the ASCII values of the characters that are contained
within them. A binary file is a sequence of bytes that is stored in a computer's
memory. Even a single bit change can corrupt a file, rendering it unreadable by
the application that is attempting to read it. In addition, because the binary file's
contents are not human readable, it is difficult to correct any errors that may
occur in the binary file.

65. The function file_object.close() is used to ___.

A. To open the existing file

B. To append in an opened file
C. To close an opened file
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: C) To close an opened file

Explanation:

To close a file that has been opened, use the file object.close() function. To
accomplish this, the Python language provides the close() method. When a file is
closed, the system releases the memory that was allocated to it.

Discuss this Question

66. Python always makes sure that any unwritten or unsaved data is written
to the file before it is closed?

A. True
B. False

Answer: A) True

Explanation:

Whenever a file is closed, Python ensures that any unwritten or unsaved data is
flushed out or written to the file's header before the file is closed. As a result, it is
always recommended that we close the file once our work is completed.
Additionally, if the file object is reassigned to a different file, the previous file is
automatically closed as well.

67. The write() method takes a string as an argument and ___.

A. writes it to the text file

B. read from the text file
C. append in a text file
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: A) writes it to the text file

Explanation:

The write() method accepts a string as an argument and writes it to the text file
specified by the filename parameter. The write() method returns the number of
characters that were written during a single execution of the write() function. A
newline character (n) must also be added at the end of every sentence to indicate
the end of a line.

69. Amongst which of the following function is / are used to create a file
and writing data?

A. append()
B. open()
C. close()
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: B) open()

Explanation:

To create a text file, we call the open() method and pass it the filename and the
mode parameters to the function. If a file with the same name already exists, the
open() function will behave differently depending on whether the write or
append mode is used to open the file. Write mode (w) will cause all of the
existing contents of the file to be lost, and a new file with the same name will be
created with the same contents as the existing file.

70. The readline() is used to read the data line by line from the text file.

A. True
B. False

Answer: A) True

Explanation:
It is necessary to use readline() in order to read the data from a text file line by
line. The lines are displayed by employing the print() command. When the
readline() function reaches the end of the file, it will return an empty string.

71. The module Pickle is used to ___.

A. Serializing Python object structure

B. De-serializing Python object structure
C. Both A and B
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: C) Both A and B

Explanation:

Pickle is a Python module that allows you to save any object structure along with
its associated data. Pickle is a Python module that can be used to serialize and
de-serialize any type of Python object structure. Serialization is the process of
converting data or an object stored in memory to a stream of bytes known as
byte streams, which is a type of data stream. These byte streams, which are
contained within a binary file, can then be stored on a disc, in a database, or
transmitted over a network. Pickling is another term for the serialization process.
De-serialization, also known as unpickling, is the inverse of the pickling process,
in which a byte stream is converted back to a Python object through the pickling
process.

72. Amongst which of the following is / are the method of convert Python
objects for writing data in a binary file?

A. set() method
B. dump() method
 C. load() method
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: B) dump() method

Explanation:

The dump() method is used to convert Python objects into binary data that can
be written to a binary file. The file into which the data is to be written must be
opened in binary write mode before the data can be written. To make use of the
dump() method, we can call this function with the parameters data object and file
object. There are two objects in this case: data object and file object. The data
object object is the object that needs to be dumped to the file with the file
handle named file_ object.

73. Amongst which of the following is / are the method used to unpickling
data from a binary file?

A. load()
B. set() method
C. dump() method
D. None of the mentioned above

Answer: B) set() method

Explanation:

The load() method is used to unpickle data from a binary file that has been
compressed. The binary read (rb) mode is used to load the file that is to be
loaded. If we want to use the load() method, we can write Store object = load(file
object) in our program. The pickled Python object is loaded from a file with a file
handle named file object and stored in a new file handle named store object. The
pickled Python object is loaded from a file with a file handle named file object
and stored in a new file handle named store object.

Answer: D) All of the mentioned above

Explanation:

Unlike other types of files, text files contain only textual information, which can
be represented by alphabets, numbers, and other special symbols. These types of
files are saved with extensions such as.txt,.py,.c,.csv,.html, and so on. Each byte in
a text file corresponds to one character in the text.
