13. Which of the following statements produce an error in
Python?
14. x, y, z = 1,2,3 # s1
a, b = 4,5,6 # s2
u = 7,8,9 # s3, (List all the statements that have error.)
20. What is the output of the following program? (lambda x,y : y -
2*x) (1, 11)
15. Write a Python function removekth(s, k) that takes as input a
string s and an integer k>=0 and removes the character at index
k. If k is beyond the length of s, the whole of s is returned. For
example,
removekth(“PYTHON”, 1) returns “PTHON”
removekth(“PYTHON”, 3) returns “PYTON”
removekth(“PYTHON”, 0) returns “YTHON”
removekth(“PYTHON”, 20) returns “PYTHON”
16. Write a Python function average to compute the average of a
list of numbers. The function must use try-except to handle the
case where the input list is empty. Further, in that case the
average for the empty list should be set to 0.0 using the except
block.
17. Write a function lessthan(lst, k) to return list of numbers less than
k from a list lst. The function must use list comprehension.
Example: lessthan([1, -2, 0, 5, -3], 0) returns [-2, -3]
18. Write a program factors(N) that returns a list of all positive
divisors of N (N>=1). For example:
factors(6) returns [1,2,3,6]
factors(1) returns [1]
factors(13) returns [1,13]
19. Write a function makePairs that takes as input two lists of equal
length and returns a single list of same length where k-th element is
the pair of k-th elements from the input lists. For example,
makePairs([1,3,5,7],[2,4,6,8])
returns [(1,2),(3,4),(5,6),(7,8)]
makePairs([],[])
returns []
20. Show an example where both Keyword arguments and Default
arguments are used for the same function in a call. Show both the
definition of the function and its call.
19. Write a Python program, triangle(N), that prints a right triangle
having base and height consisting of N * symbols as shown in these
examples:
triangle(3) prints: *
**
***
triangle(5) prints: *
**
***
**** *****
20. Write a Python program, countSquares(N), that returns the count
of perfect squares less than or equal to N (N>1). For
example:countSquares(1) returns 1
# Only 1 is a perfect square <= 1 countSquares(5) returns 2
# 1, 4 are perfect squares <= 5 countSquares(55) returns 7
# 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49 <= 55
21. Write a Python function, alternating(lst), that takes as argument a
sequence lst. The function returns True if the elements in lst are
alternately odd and even, starting with an even number. Otherwise it
returns False.
For example:
alternating([10, 9, 9, 6])returnsFalse
alternating([10, 15, 8])returnsTrue
alternating([10]) returns True
alternating([]) returns True
alternating([15, 10, 9])returnsFalse
22. Write a Python function, searchMany(s, x, k), that takes as
argument a sequence s and integers x, k (k>0).The function returns
True if there are atmost k occurrences of x in s.Otherwise it returns
False.
For example:
searchMany([10, 17, 15, 12], 15, 1)returns True
searchMany([10, 12, 12, 12], 12, 2)returns False
searchMany([10, 12, 15, 11], 17, 18)returnsTrue
