Programming Exercises:
1 a. Develop a program to read the student details like Name, USN, and Marks in three
subjects. Display the student details, total marks and percentage with suitable messages.
b. Develop a program to read the name and year of birth of a person. Display whether
the person is a senior citizen or not
2 a. Develop a program to generate Fibonacci sequence of length (N). Read N from the
console.
b. Develop a function to calculate factorial of a number.
3 Read N numbers from the console and create a list. Develop a program to print mean,
variance and standard deviation with suitable messages.
4 Develop python program to demonstrate the linear search applied on the array where if
the element is present or not with suitable message.
5 Develop a python program that has dictionary of names of students and list of list of
marks in three subjects. Create another dictionary from this dictionary that has names
of the students and their total marks. Display the topper based on his or her score.
6 a) Develop a program to count the numbers of characters in the given string and store
them in a dictionary data structure
b) Develop a program to use split and join methods in the given string and trace a
birthday with a dictionary data structure
7 Develop a python program to identify number of vowels, consonants, special characters
and digits in a given file.
8 Develop a program that inputs a text file. The program should print all of the unique
words in the file in alphabetical order.
9 Develop a function named DivExp which takes TWO parameters a, b and returns a
value c (c=a/b). Write suitable assertion for a>0 in function DivExp and raise an
exception for when b=0. Develop a suitable program which reads two values from the
console and calls a function DivExp.
10 Develop python program to simulate banking operation using class and objects

TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS: Chalk and Talk, power point presentation, animations,
videos

COURSE OUTCOMES: On completion of the course, student should be able to,

CO1: Interpret the fundamental Python syntax and semantics and be fluent in the use of Python
control flow statements.
CO2: Express proficiency in the handling of strings and functions.
CO3: Determine the methods to create and manipulate Python programs by utilizing the data
structures like lists, dictionaries, tuples and sets.
CO4: Identify the commonly used operations involving file systems and Exception handling
to develop efficient and error free codes.
CO5: Articulate the Object-Oriented Programming concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance
and polymorphism as used in Python.
