 Unit I - CHAPTER 1. Function
========================================================
2 Mark: (Book Back Questions)

1. What is a subroutines? *
 Subroutines are the basic building blocks of computer programs.
 It is a small section of code.
 It is used to perform a particular task.
 It can be used repeatedly.

2. Define function with respect to programming language. *

 A function is a unit of code.
 It contains a set of code.
 It works on many kinds of inputs, like variants, expressions and produces concrete output.

3. Write the inference you get from X : = (78) *

 X: = (78) has an expression in it.
 But (78) is not an expression.
 It is a function definition.
 In this case the value 78 being bound to the name X.

4. Differentiate interface and implementation. *

Interface Implementations
It just defines what an object can do. It carries out the instructions defined in
But won‟t actually do it the interface.

5. Which of the following is a normal function definition and which is recursive

function definition?
 let rec sum xy:
return x+y Ans : Recursive function

 let disp:
print „welcome‟ Ans : Normal function

 let rec sum num:

f (num ! =0) then return num+sum (num-1) Ans : Recursive function
else:
return num

6. Mention the characteristics of interface. *
 Class template specifies interfaces to enable an object to be created and operate properly.
 An object‟s attributes and behaviour is controlled by sending functions to the object.

7. Why strlen is called pure function? *

 strlen is a pure function.
 Because the function takes one variable as parameter.
 It access the variable and find its length.
 It does not change it, and the value returned derived from the external memory accessed.

8. What is the side effect of impure function. (or)

What happen if you modify a variable outside the function? Give example. *

• The most popular side effect is “modifying the variable outside of function”.
Ex :
y:=0
let inc (x:int): int:=
y:= y+x
return (y)

 The value of y get changed inside the function definition due to which the result will
change each time.
 Impure function doesn‟t take any arguments and it doesn‟t return any value.

9. Differentiate pure and impure function . *

Pure function Impure function

1. Return value -- solely depends on its Return value --does not solely depend on its
arguments passed. arguments passed.

2. Do not modify the arguments which Modify the arguments which are passed to
are passed to them. them.
3. Do not have side effects. Have side effects.
4. Give exact result when the same Never assure that the function will behave the
arguments are passed. same every time its called.
5. Ex: strlen(), sqrt() Ex: random(), date()

Additional 2 Marks & 3 Marks questions:
11. What is definition? *
 It binds values to names.
 It is a distinct syntactic blocks.
 It can have expressions nested inside them and vice – versa.

12. Define parameters.

 Parameters are the variables in a function definition.
13. Define Arguments.
 Arguments are the values which are passed to a function definition.

14. What are the two types of function specification? *

1. Parameter without type
2. Parameter with type

15. What is the syntax for function definition? *

 It is introduced by the keyword “let”
 Followed by the name of the function and its arguments.
Syntax :
let fn a1…an : = K

Ex: let odd x :=

16. How the recursive function is defined? *

 It is defined by the keyword “let rec”
 Followed by the name of the function and its arguments.
Syntax:
let rec fn a1…an : = K

17. Define Object. *

 An object is an instance.
 It is created from the class.
 Interface defines an object‟s visibility to the outside world.
18. What is algorithm? *
 It is a finite set of instruction to accomplish a particular task.
 It is a step by step instruction to solve a particular task.
 It is expressed using statement of programming language.
 It helps the programmer to develop the program.

5
19. Write an algorithm to find the factorial of a number.

(requires : n>=0)
let rec fact n:=
if n=0 then 1
else
n*fact(n-1)

20. What are various syntax for function types?

1. x → y (x is input and y is output)
2. x1 → x2 → y (x1 and x2 are input and y are output)
3. x1→ …→ xn → y (x1 ... xn are input and y are output)

21. Give the advantage of pure functions?

 If a function is pure, then if it is called several times with the same arguments ,
the compiler only needs to actually call the function once.

22. Explain about random () function.

• random () is a mathematical function.
• It will give different outputs for the same function call.
Ex:

let randomnumber :=
a:= random()
if a >10 then
return: a
else
return : 10

• Here the random() function is impure .

• It is not sure what will be the result when we call the function.

23. Write the function that finds the minimum of its three arguments.
let min x y z :=
if x < y then
if x < z then x else z
else
if y < z then y else z

6
24. What happen if you modify a variable outside the function? Give example. *
 The most popular side effects is modifying the variable outside of function.
Ex:
y:=0
let inc (x:int):int :=
y:= y+x
return (y)

Here, result of inc() will change every time,

if the value of “y‟ get changed inside the function definition.
 Hence, side effect of inc () function is changing the data of the external variable “y‟.

5 Marks: (Book Back Questions)

1. What are called parameters and write a note on i) parameter without type *
ii) parameter with type.
(OR)
Explain about the function specification. *
Parameters  Variable in a function definition .
Arguments  Values which are passed to a function definition.
i) parameter without type:
 The Datatype of variable is not mentioned explicitly .
Ex:
(requires : b>=0)
(returns: a to the power of b)
let rec pow a b:=
if b=0 then 1
else
a * pow a(b-1)

Program explanation:
 Precondition (requires)
 Post condition (returns) Given

 In the function definition,

 variable b is the parameter .
 The value which is passed to the variable b is the argument.
 some language compiler solves this type data type inference problem algorithmically.

7
 ii) Parameter with type :
 The Datatype of variable is mentioned explicitly.

Ex:
(requires : b>=0)
(returns: a to the power of b)
let rec pow (a: int) (b: int) : int:=
if b=0 then 1
else
a * pow a(b-1)

Program explanation:
 parentheses ( ) are mandatory for „a‟ and „b‟. (mandatorymust)
 We want to explicitly write down data types.
 Explicitly annotating the data types can help with debugging such an error message.
 This is useful on times when we get a type error from the compiler.

2. Identify in the following program: * (Book Back)

let rec gcd a b :=

if b <> 0 then gcd b (a mod b) else return a

Questions:
(i) Name of the function .
Ans: „gcd‟

(ii) Identify the statement which tells it is a recursive function

Ans: rec

(iii) Name of the argument variable.

Ans: a, b

(iv) Statement which invoke the function recursively.

Ans: (a mod b)

(v) Statement which terminates the recursion.

Ans: return a

8
3. Explain with example pure and impure functions. *
Pure functions :
 Pure functions are functions.
 A function can be pure function provided it should not have any external variable.
 It will alter the behaviour of that variable.
 It will give exact result when the same arguments are passed.
 Do not have side effects.
 Do not modify the arguments which are passed to them.
 Return value –solely depends on its arguments passed.
Ex:
let square x:=
return : x*x

 square is a pure function.

 Because it will not give different results for same input.

Advantage:
 It is called several times with the same arguments, the compiler only needs to actually
call the function once.

Impure functions:
 Variables used inside the function may cause side effects though the functions which
are not passed with any arguments.
 In such cases the function is called impure function.
 Have side effects.
 Modify the arguments which are passed to them.
 Return value – does not solely depends on its arguments passed.
 When a function depends on variables or functions outside of its definition block
 We can never be sure that the function will behave the same function call.
Ex:

let randomnumber :=
a: = random()
if a >10 then
return: a
else
return:10
 random() is impure function, the result is not same when we call.

9
4. Explain with an example interface and implementation. *
Interface :
 It is a set of action that an object can do, but won‟t actually do it.
 In OOPs, an interface is a description of all functions.
Purpose: Allow the computer to enforce the properties of the class.

Characteristics of interface:
i) Class template specifies to enable an object to be created and operated properly.
ii) An object‟s attributes and behaviour is controlled by sending functions to the object.

For example:
o when you press a light switch, the light goes on,
o We may not have cared, how it splashed the light

 In our example, Anything that "ACTS LIKE" a light, should have function definitions
like
(i) turn_on ()
(ii) turn_off ()
Implementation :
 It carries out the instructions defined in the interface.
 In object oriented programs,
 classes are the interface and
 how the object is processed and executed is the implementation

For example: Let‟s take the example of increasing a car‟s speed.

 The person who drives the car doesn‟t care about the internal working.
 To increase the car speed, he just presses the accelerator to get the desired behaviour.
 Here Accelerator is the interface between the driver and the engine.
10
  In this case, the function call would be Speed (70): This is the interface.
 Internally, the engine of the car is doing all the things. It's where fuel, air, pressure, and
electricity come together to create the power to move the vehicle. All of these actions are
separated from the driver, who just wants to go faster.
 Thus we separate interface from implementation.

5. Explain in detail about chameleons of chromeland problem using function.
 There are two types of chameleons are equal in number.
 Construct an algorithm that arranges meetings between these two types.
 so that they change their colour to the third type.
 In the end, all should display the same colour.
 Let us represent the number of chameleons of each type by variables a, b and c.
 Their initial values by A, B and C respectively.
 Let a=b be the input properly.
 The input-output relation is a=b=0 and c=A+B+C.
 Let us name the algorithm monochromatize.
 The algorithm can be specified as monochromatize (a,b,c)

 In each iterative step,

 Two chameleons of the two types (equal in number) meet and
change their colors to the third one .
Ex: If A, B, C = 4, 4, 6 then the series of meeting will result in.

 In each meeting, a and b each decreases by 1 and c increased by 2.

 The solution can be expressed as an iterative algorithm.

 x will become10 and y will become 20.

2. Element Selection Operator:

 It is expressed using square brackets.

5 Marks : (Book Back Questions)
1. How will you facilitate the data abstraction explain? * (Book Back)
Data abstraction:
 It is a powerful concept.
 It allows programmers to treat code as object.
Abstraction:
 It is the process of providing only the essentials and hiding the details.
 Abstraction provides modularity.
Modularity:
 It means splitting a program into many modules.
 classes (structures) are the representation for abstract data type.

ADT:
ADT Abstraction data type
 It is a type for object whose behaviour is defined by set of value and operations.
 To facilitate the data abstraction,
 we will need to create two types of function,
i) Constructor
ii) Selector

Constructor:
 Constructors are functions
 It builds the abstract data type.
 Create an object and bundling together different pieces of information
Ex:
city = makecity (name, lat, lon)
makecity  constructor
city  object

16
 Selectors:
 Selectors are function.
 It retrieve the information from data type.
 It extract individual pieces of information from the object.

 get name(city)
 get lat(city) selectors
 get lon(city)

2. What is list? why list called as pairs? Explain with suitable example . *(Book Back)
 List is constructed by placing expression within square brackets [ ] separated by commas.
 An expression is called a list literal.
 List can store multiple values.
 Each value can be of any type and can even be another list.

Pair:
 Bundling two values together into one can be considered as pair.
 List can be called as pairs.

Ex: list [ (0,10), (1,20) ]

where
( 0 , 10 ) ( 1 , 20 )

Index position value Index position value

 Elements of list can be accessed in two ways.

 Multiple assignment (:=)
 Using element selection operator( [ ] ).

17
Multiple assignment :
 It is familar method.
 It unpacks a list into its elements and binds each element to a different name.
Ex:
list : = [10, 20]
x,y := list
(i.e) x:= 10, y:= 20

Element selection operator:

 It is expressed using square brackets [ ]
 Unlike a list literal, a square brackets expression directly following another expression ,
does not evaluate to a list value.
 But instead selects an element from the value of the preceding expression.
Ex: list : = [10, 20]

list [0] (i.e) 10

list [1] (i.e) 20

3. How will you access the multi item. Explain. * (Book Back)
 The structure construct (In OOP languages it's called class construct) to represent multi-
part objects where each part is named (given a name).

pseudo code New data type Person is pictorially represented as

class Person:
creation( )
firstName := " "
lastName := " "
id := " "
email := " "

Explanation:
Person → Class name (multipart item)
Creation → Function
First name
Last name variable of new datatype.
Id
e-mail
P1:= person() → creating the object
18
 First name := “xxx”
Last name :=”yyy” setting the value
Id := “92-31”
email id := “[email protected]”

 Person is referred to as a class or a type

 p1 is referred to as an object or an instance.

 In the case of something more complex, like a person,

we have a multi- item object where each 'item' is a named thing:
firstName, lastName, id, and email.
One could use a list to represent a person:
person=['Padmashri', 'Baskar', '994- 222-1234', '[email protected]']

 Multi item can be accessed using structure.

 The class construct the form for multipart objects.
 The class (structure) construct defines the form for multi-part objects .
 It represents a person.
 Its definition adds a new data type.
 In this case, a type named Person.
 Once defined, we can create new variables (instances) of the type.
 A class has bundled data and functions.
 Class defines a data abstraction by grouping related data items.
 A class is not just data, it has functions defined within it.
 We say such functions are subordinate to the class

19
Additional 5 Marks Questions:
4. What is tuple? Explain it.
 Tuple is a sequence of values separted by comma enclosed with parenthesis ( ).
 Tuple is similar to list.
 The elements cannot be changed in tuple.
 But we change the elements in list.
 Square bracket [ ] is used to access the data stored in pair.
 Note: square bracket notation is used to access the data you stored in the pair.
 The data is zero indexed, meaning we access the
o first element with nums[0]
o second element with nums[1]

Ex : colour :=('Red‟, „Green‟, „Blue‟)

Representation Tuple as a Pair

Ex:
nums:=(1,2)

num[0]→1
num[1] →2
• data index 0 represents first value .
• data index 1 represent second values

1. What is scope? *
 It refers to visibility of variable, parameter and function in one part of the program to
another part of same program.

2. Why scope should be used for variable state reason?

 Scope should be used for a variable because every part of the program can access the
variable.
 Scope defines the order,” in which variable have to be mapped to the object “,in order to
obtain a value.

3. What is mapping? *
 The process of binding variable name with object is called mapping.
 = (equal to) is used in programming languages to map the variable and object

4. What do you mean by namespace? *

 Name spaces are container for mapping name of variable to object.

5. How python represent private and protected access specifies? *

35
3. What is Binary search? Discuss with example. * (Book Back)

 It is called as half – interval search algorithm

(or)
Mid way search algorithm
(or)
Divide and conquer search algorithm

 It finds the position of a search element within a sorted array.

 It executes in logarithmic time.
Pseudo code :
1. Start with the middle element.
 If the “search element is” equal to ”middle element of the array“
return the index of the “middle element“.

 If not, then compare the middle element with search value.

 If the search element is “greater than” the number in the middle index,
then select the elements to the “right side“ and goto step -1

 If the search element is “less than” the number in the middle index,
then select the elements to the “left side“ and goto step -1

2. If match is found, display “success message with the index”.

3. If match is not found, display “unsuccessful message”.
Example :
Index value 0 1 2 3 4
Value 10 20 30 40 50

Assume, search element is 30.

Find Mid value : formula:

Mid= low + ( high – low)/2

Here, Mid = low + ( high – low)/2

= 0 + ( 4 - 0) / 2
= 0 + 4/2
=4/2
Mid = 2

36
  So, 2 is the mid value of the array.
 Now, we compare the value stored at location 2 with search element(30).
 We found that it is a match.
 We can conclude that,
Search element is 30
Location/index is 2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Working principles:
1. List of elements in an array must be sorted.
2. Consider the following array elements.
Index value 0 1 2 3 4
Value 10 20 30 40 50

Let us assume that the search element is 40.

3. First, we find index of middle element of the array.

Find Mid value - Formula:

Mid= low + ( high – low)/2

Mid = low + ( high – low)/2

= 0 + ( 4 - 0) / 2
= 0 + 4/2
= 4/2
Mid value = 2

4. Now, we compare the value stored at index-2 with our search value-40
 The value stored at index-2 is 30
 Search value is 40
 So, it is not match with search element.
 The search value 40 is greater than 30.

5. So, Select the elements to the Right side

Now we change our low to mid + 1 and find the new mid value again.

low = mid + 1
37
 mid = low + (high - low) / 2
= 3 + (4-3)/2
= 3 + 1/2
= 3 + 0.5
= 3.5 (fraction ignored)
Mid value = 3

6. Our New mid is 3 now.

We compare the value stored at index-3 with our search value -40

Index value 0 1 2 3 4
Value 10 20 30 40 50
7. We found that, it is a match.
8. We conclude that ,
Search element is 40
Location / Index is 3

4. Explain the bubble sort algorithm with example. * (Book Back)

 So, smaller elements “bubble” to the top of the list.
Disadvantage:
 Too slow
 Less efficient
Pseudo code :
1. Start with first element (i.e., index =0)
2. compare the “current element” with the “next element” of array.
3. If the current element is “greater than” the next element, “Swap them”.
4. If the current element is “Less than” then next or right side of the element,
Move to the next element.
5. Go to step-1 and Repeat until the array is sorted.

38
Example:
 Let's consider an array with values {15, 11, 16, 12, 14, 13}.
 The pictorial representation of how bubble sort will sort the given array.

 This above example is for iteration1.

 Similarly remaining iteration can be done.
 The final iteration will give the sorted array.

11 12 13 14 15 16

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(OR)

50 10 30 20 40

50 > 10 First element - 50

So, interchange Next element - 10

10 50 30 20 40

1. Describe in detail the procedure for script mode programming. *
 A script is a text file.
 It contains the Python statements.
 Python scripts are reusable code.
 Once the script is created, it can be executed again and again without retyping.

To Create scripts in python :

1. Choose File  New File (or ) Ctrl+N

2. Type the code.
To Save python script :
1. Choose File  Save (or ) Ctrl+S
2. Save As dialog box appears
3. Select the location
4. Type the file name in Filename box (extenstion .py )
5. Click Save button.

51
 To Execute python script :
1. Choose Run  Run Module (or) press F5
2. If the program has any error, correct the errors.
[[

3. Then, save the file using File  Save (or) Ctrl+S

4. Execute again.
5. The output will appear on the screen ( IDLE window).

2. Explain input() and print() function with example. *

Input() function :
 It is used to accept data as input at run time.

 int( ) function is used to convert string data as numbers.
Syntax:

variable = input (“prompt string”)

variable = int (input (“prompt string”))

Ex: city = input (“Enter your city:”)

age = int (input (“Enter your age:”))

Output: Enter your city: chennai

Enter your age: 16

Prompt string:
 It is a statement or message to the users.
 From this message the user can know, “what input has been given”.
 If prompt string is not given, ”No message will be displayed on the screen”.

Print() function :
 It used to display result on the screen.

Syntax: print (“string to be displayed as output”)

print (variable)
print (“string” , variable)
print (“string1” , variable1, “string2” , variable2…..…)

 5 Marks: (Book Back Questions):
1. Explain if and if else statement? (Additional question) *
Simple if statement:
 It is simple decision making statement.
 It checks the condition.
 If the condition is True, “True block” will be executed.
 If the condition is False, “True block” will not be executed.
 Condition should be in the form of relational or logical expression.

Syntax:
if<condition>:
True block

Ex:
mark=70
if(mark>=35):
print (“pass”)

Output: Pass

ii) if...else statement :

 It chooses between two possibilities.
 It executes the chosen block based on the condition.
 It checks the condition.
 If the condition is True, “True block” will be executed.
 If the condition is False, “False block” will be executed.
 It check true block as well as false block
Syntax: if <condition>:
True block
else:
false block

2. Write a detail note on if..else..elif statement with suitable example.(Book Back) *
 It is a chain of if statement (S) then
 Here, „elif‟ cause can be used instead of „else‟
elif  else if

 Multiple if..else statements can be combined to one if..elif..else.

 In an „if‟ statement, there is no limit of „elif ‟ clause can be used.
 But, elif clause end with else statement.
Syntax: if <condition-1>:
statement – block1
elif<condition2>:
statement –block2
else :
statement – block n
Explanation:
 First it check the Condition 1
 If the condition1 is true, statement block 1 will be executed.
 Otherwise check the condition2,
 If the condition2 is true, statement block 2 will be executed
 If both the condition is False, statement block-n (else part) will be executed.
Ex:
mark=100
if (mark= =100 ):
print (“centum”)
elif (mark<35 ):
print(“Fail”)
else :
print(“Pass”)

Output: centum

3. Write a detail note on for loop. (Book Back) *

 For loop is usually known as “Definite loop”.
 Because, the programmer knows exactly how many times the loop will be executed.
Syntax:
for counter – variable in sequence:
Statement –block1
[else :
Statement-block2]

69
 Explanation:
 for…in statements is a looping statement
 It used in python to iterate over a sequence of objects.
(It goes through each item in a sequence)
 Here, the sequence is the collection of ordered/unordered values/even a string.
 Control variableAccess each item of the sequence on each iteration until it reaches the
last item in the sequence.
Ex:
for x in “Hello World”:
print (x)

Output: Hello World

 Initially, the value of x is set to the first element of the string(„H‟)

 So the print statement inside the loop is executed.
 Then the control variable x is updated with the next element of the string and the print
statement is executed again.
 The loop runs until the last element of the string is accessed.
 range ( ) function is a built-in function
 It generates a list of values between two numeric intervals.
 Starting from start till stop-1.

Syntax :

range(start,stop,[step]

start - refers to initial value

stop - refers to final value
step - refers to increment values.

Ex:

for i in range(2,10,2):
print(i)

Output: 2468

70
4. Explain the while loop with an example. (Additional question) *
 It is an entry check loop.
 Because, the condition is checked at the beginning.
Syntax:
while<condition>:
statement block 1
[else:
statement block 2]

Explanation:
 It checks the condition.
 If the condition is “true” statement block1 will be executed.
 The statement block1 is kept executed, till the condition is true
 If the condition is “false” statement block2 will be executed.
 else part is optional.
 Condition is any valid Boolean expression.
 Boolean expression returns true or false.

Ex:
i=1
while(i<=3):
print(i)
i=i+1

Output: 123

 UNIT – II - CHAPTER 7. Python Function
=================================================
2 Marks: (Book Back Questions)
1. What is function? *
 Functions are named blocks of code.
 It is designed “to do one specific job“.

2. Write the different types of functions. *

1) User defined
2) Built in
3) Lambda
4) Recursion

3. What are the main advantages of function? *

1) It avoids repetition.
2) It makes high degree of code securing.
2) It provides better modularity for your application.

4. What is meant by scope of variable? Mention its types? *

 It refers to the part of the program where it is accessible.
(i.e), area where you can refer (use) it.
 Scope holds the current set of variables and their values.
Types of scope :
1. Local scope
2. global scope

5. Define global scope.

 It is a variable is declared outside of any function block
 It is used anywhere in the program.

6. What is base condition in recursive function?

 The condition is “applied in any recursive function“ is known as base condition.
7. How to set the limit for recursive function? Give example.
sys.setrecursionlimit(limit_value) is used to set the limit for recursive function.

73
3 Marks: (Book Back Questions)
8. Write the rules of local variable. *
 It is created inside the function / block.
 It becomes local to it.
 It is accessed only within the function block.
 It only exists while the function is executing.
 Formal arguments are also local to function.

9. Write the basic rules for global keyword in python. *

 A variable defined outside a function is global by default.
 We use global keyword to read & write a global variable inside a function.
 Use of global keyword outside a function has no effect.

10. What happens when we modify global variable inside the function?
 Without “global keyword “we cannot modify” the global variable inside the
function.
 But without global keyword “we can only access the global variable”.

11. Difference between ceil() & floor() function. *

s.no ceil( ) floor( )

1 Returns the smallest integer >= x Returns the largest integer <= x
2 Syntax : math.ceil(x) Syntax : math.floor(x)

leap year
print(“non-leap year”)

74
13. What is composition in function?
 The value returned by a function “may be used as any argument for another
function“ in a nested manner is called as composition.

14. How recursive function works? *

1) Recursive function is called by some external code.
2) If the base condition is met the program gives
“meaningful output & exits“.
3). Otherwise, “function does some required processing “ and “call itself “
to continue recursion.

15. What are the points to be noted while defining function? *

Syntax :
def<function name> ([parameter1, parameter2…] )>:
<Block of Statements>
return<expression / None>

 points to be noted while defining function

1. Function block begin with “def” keyword .
2. Followed by function name and parenthesis().
3. Any input parameters or arguments must be given within parentheses ( ).
4. The code block always comes after a colon (:) and it is indented.

return statement

77
 Ex:
def num(*nos):
for n in nos:
print(n)
return
print ('Print two values')
num(1,2)
output:

26. How to call a function? With example.

To call the function

 Call the function using function name with or without arguments with parenthesis.
Syntax:

functionname( )
( or)
functionname(arguments)
Ex:
def hello():
print(“hello python”)
hello()

27. What is infinite iteration?

 A process would iterate indefinitely if not stopped by condition
 Such a process is known as infinite iteration.

28. What is meant by block?

 A block is one or more lines of code, grouped together so that they are treated as
one big sequence of statements while execution.

29. What is nested block?

 A block within a block is called nested block. When the first block statement is
indented by a single tab space, the second block of statement is indented by
double tab spaces.

78
30. Which is called as non-keyword variable arguments?
 Non-keyword variable arguments are called tuples.

31. How will you pass the variable length arguments?

 We can pass the arguments using two methods.
1. Non keyword variable arguments
2. Keyword variable arguments
32. What is recursion?
 When a function calls itself is known as recursion.
 Recursion works like loop but sometimes it makes more sense to use recursion
than loop.
33. Define format() in mathematical functions.
 Returns the output based on the given format
1. Binary format: Displays the number in base 2.
2. Octal format: Displays the number in base 8.
3. Fixed-point notation: Displays the number as a fixed-point number.
The default precision is 6

Syntax: format (value [, format_ spec])

Ex:
x= 14
y= 25
print ('x value in binary :',format(x,'b'))
print ('y value in octal :',format(y,'o'))
print('y value in Fixed-point no ',format(y,'f '))

Output:
x value in binary : 1110
y value in octal : 31
y value in Fixed-point no : 25.000000
34. Define round() in mathematical functions.
Returns the nearest integer to its input.
1. First argument (number) is used to specify the value to be rounded
2. Second argument (ndigits) is used to specify the number of decimal digits
desired after rounding.

79
 Syntax: round (number [, ndigits])

Ex:
n1=17.89
print (round (n1,0))
print (round (n1,1))
print (round (n1,2))
Output:
18.0
17.9
17.89
35. Define pow() in mathematical functions.
 Returns the computation of ab i.e. (a**b ) a raised to the power of b.

Syntax: pow (a,b)

Ex:
a= 5
b= 2
c= 3.0
print (pow (a,b))
Output:
print (pow (a,c))
25
print (pow (a+b,3))
125.0

5 Marks: (Book Back Questions)

1. Explain the different types of function with an example. *
1. User defined function
2. Built in function
3. Lambda function
4. Recursion function
1. User defined function:
 Function defined by users themselves
Syntax:
def <function_name ( [parameter1, parameter2…] )>:
Block of Statements
return <expression / None>
80
 Ex:
def hello():
print (“welcome”)
return
hello( )

Output: welcome

Advantages:
1. Helps to divide a program into modules.
2. It implements code reuse.
3. Allows us to change functionality easily.

2. Built in function:
 Functions that are inbuilt within python.
Ex:
 sum( )
 max( )
 min( )
3. Lambda function:
 A function defined without name is called as lambda function.
 It is also called as anonymous function.
 It is an Unnamed function.
Syntax:
lambda[ arguments(s) ] : expression

Ex: sum = lambda a1,a2 : a1 + a2

4. Recursive function:
 A function calls itself is known as recursion.
 The condition is applied in any recursive function is known as base condition.
Ex:
def fact(n):
if n==0 :
return 1
else : Output: 120
return n*fact (n-1)
print (fact(5))
81
2. What is Scope of variables? explain. (Book Back) *
 It refers to the part of the program where it is accessible.
(i.e), area where you can refer (use) it.
 Scope holds the current set of variables and their values.
Types of scope :
1. Local scope,
2. global scope
1. Local scope :
 A variable declared inside the function body or in the local scope
Rules :
 A local variable is created inside the function or block.
The variable becomes local to it.
 It can be accessed only within the function block. That it is created .
 It only exists while the function is executing.
 Formal arguments are also local to function.
Ex:
def loc():
y=0
print(y)
loc()

Output: 0

2. Global scope :
 A variable declared outside the function or block .
 It can be used anywhere in the program.
Rules :
1. We can define a variable outside a function. It is global by default.
2. Use of global keyword outside a function has “No effect“.
3. We use global keyword to read and write a global variable ”inside a function“.
Ex:
c =1
def add():
print(c)
add()

Output: 1

82
3. Explain id(), chr(), round(), type() & pow() function.

s.no Function Description Syntax Example

1 id()  It returns the address of the object in id(object) x=15

memory print(id(x))
Output:
1357486152
2 chr()  It returns the Unicode character for chr(i) c=65
the given ASCII value . print(chr(c))
 It is inverse of ord( ) function Output: A

3 round()  It returns the nearest integer to its round ( number x=17.9

input. [ n digits ] ) print(round(x)
Output: 18
4 type()  It returns the type of object type(object) x=15.2
print(type(x))
Output :
<class „float‟>
5 pow()  It returns the computation of a, b pow(a,b) a=5
(a**b) b=2
 a raised to the power of b. Print(pow(a,b))
Output: 25

4. Explain recursive function with example.*

 A function calls itself is known as recursion.
 The condition is applied in any recursive function is known as base condition.
Recursive function working:
 Recursive function is called by some external code.
 If the base condition is met then the program gives meaningful output and exit.
 Otherwise, function does some required processing and then calls itself to continue
recursion.
Ex:
def fact(n):
if n==0 :
return 1
else : Output: 120
return n*fact (n-1)
83

print (fact(5))
5. Explain the types of arguments.( Additional Question)*
 Arguments are used to call the function.
Types of arguments:
1. Required argument
2. Keyword argument
3. Default argument
4. Variable-length argument
Required argument:
 It passed to a function in correct positional order.
 The number of arguments in the ” function call “ should match exactly with the
“function definition“.
Ex:
def fun(s):
print (s)
return
fun(“welcome”)
Output: welcome

Keyword argument:
 It will invoke the function after the parameters are recognized by their names.
 The value of the keyword argument is matched with the parameter name.
 So ,one can put arguments in improper order (not in order).
Ex:
def fun(s):
print (s)
return
fun(s=‟welcome‟)
Output: welcome

Default argument:
 It takes a default value, if no value is given in function call.
Ex:
def fun(s=‟welcome‟) :
print (s)
return
fun()
Output: welcome

84
 Variable-length argument:
 We need to pass more arguments than already specified.
 Redefine the function is tedious process.
 Variable-Length arguments can be used instead.
 Arguments not specified in the function‟s definition and an asterisk (*) is used to
define such arguments.

Syntax:
def function_name (*args) :
function body
return_statement

Ex:
def fun (*nos):
for n in nos:
print(n)
return
fun(1,2)

Output: 1
2

if x>y :
greater=x
else:
greater=y
while(True) :
if((greater%x==0) and (greater%y==0)) :
lcm=greater
break
greater+=1
return lcm

num1=input(“Enter the first number:”)

num2=input(“Enter the second number:”)
print(“The L.C.M or”,num,”and”,num2,”is”,lcm(num1,num2))

 Unit-III CHAPTER: 9 Lists, Tuples, Sets And Dictionary
==============================================
2 Marks : (Book Back Questions)
1. What is list in python? Give example. *
 A list in Python is known as a “sequence data type”.
 It is an ordered collection of values .
 Values are enclosed within square brackets [ ].
 Each value of a list is called as element.
Ex:
mark=[10,20,30,40]
m=[ ]

2. How will you access the list elements in reverse order? Give example. *
 Python enables reverse or negative indexing for the list elements.
 Python lists index in opposite order.
 The python sets -1 as the index value for the last element in list and -2 for the
preceding element and so on.
 This is called as Reverse Indexing.
Ex:
Output :
Marks = [10, 20,30,40]
i = -1 40
while i >= -4: 30
print (Marks[i]) 20
i = i + -1 10

Explain with suitable example. (Book Back) *
Different ways to insert an element in a list :
1) append( ) function
2) extend( ) function
3) insert( ) function
append() function:
 It is used to add a single element in a list.

syntax: List.append (element to be added)

Ex:
x=[10,20,30]
x.append(40)
print(x)

Output : [10,20,30,40]

extend() function:
 It is used to add more than one element to an existing list.
 Multiple elements given within square bracket as arguments of the function.
Syntax:
List.extend ( [elements to be added ])

128
 Ex:
y=[10,20]
y.extend([30,40])
print(y)
Output : [10,20,30,40]

insert() function:
 It is used to insert an element at any position of a list.
 While inserting a new element at a particular location, the existing elements
shifts one position to the right.
Syntax:
List.insert (position index, element)

Ex:
x=[10,30,40]
x.insert(1,20)
print(x)

Output : [10,20,30,40]

2. What is the purpose of range()? Explain with an example. (Book back) *

range() function:
 It is used to create list with series of values.
 It has 3 arguments.
1) start value
2) end value
3) step value
syntax:
range (start value, end value, step value)

 start value – beginning value of series( Zero is the default value)

 end value – ending value of series (upper limit-1)
 step value – optional argument (Different interval of values)
Ex:
for x in range (2, 11, 2):
print(x)
Output:
2
4
6
8
10 129
 Creating a list with series of values using list() function:
 It convert the result of range( ) function into list .
Syntax:

List_Varibale = list ( range ( ) )

Ex:

x= list(range(2,11,2))
print(x)
Output: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

3. Explain the different set operations supported by python with suitable example.() *
 python supports the set operations .
 set operations are
1. Union ( | )
2. Intersection (&)
3. difference (-)
4. Symmetric difference(^)
Union :
 It includes all elements from two or more sets.
 Here, | operator (or) union( ) function is used.

Ex:
setA={10,20,30} setA={10,20,30}
setB={30,40,50} (or) setB={30,40,50}
print(setA | setB) print(setA.union(setB))

Output: {50, 20, 40, 10, 30}

130
 Intersection:
 It includes the common elements in two sets.
 Here, &operator (or) intersection( ) function is used.

Ex:
setA={10,20,30} setA={10,20,30}
setB={30,40,50} (or) setB={30,40,50}
print(setA & setB) print(setA.intersection(setB))

Output: {30}
Difference:
 It includes all elements that are in first set (say set A)
but not in the second set. (say set B)
 Here, minus(-)operator (or) difference( ) function is used.

Ex:
setA={10,20,30} setA={10,20,30}
setB={30,40,50} (or) setB={30,40,50}
print(setA - setB) print(setA.difference(setB))

that are not common to two sets.

131
  Here, caret (-)operator (or) symmetric_difference( ) function is used.

Ex:
setA={10,20,30} setA={10,20,30}
setB={30,40,50} (or) setB={30,40,50}
print(setA ^ setB) print(setA.symmetric_difference(setB))

===============================================
2 Marks: (Book Back Questions)
1. What is class? *

 Class is the main building block in python.

 Object is a collection of data and function.
 Class is template for the object.
Syntax: Example:

class class – name : class student :

statement -1 mark1=80
statement -2 mark2=90
…..….
………
Statement n

2. What is instantiation? *

 The process of creating object is called as “Class instantiation”.

 Once a class is created, next step is, create an object or instance of that class.

Syntax :
object_name = class_name ( )

Ex: s=student( ) s is a object

3. What is the output of the following program? *

class sample : Output :

_ _num = 10
def disp (self): 10
print(self._ _num) Error at line no 7
s = sample() print (s._ _num)
s.disp()
Here _ _ num is private class variable.
print (s._ _num)
So it cannot access from outside of the class.

137
4. How will you create constructor in python? *
 Constructor is the special function .
 It is automatically executed“ when an object of a class is created “.
 In python, there is a special function called “init”.
 _ _init_ _( ) function is used as a constructor.
 init function must begin and end with double (_ _) underscore.
Syntax :
def _ _init_ _ (self, [args…]):
<statements>

5. What is the purpose of destructor? *

 Destructor is also a special function.
 It is opposite to constructor.
 It is executed automatically “when an object exit from the scope “.

Syntax :
def _ _del_ _ (self):
<statements>

3 Marks: (Book Back Questions):

6. What are class members? How do you define it? *
 Variables “defined inside a class “ are called as class variable.

147
 Method:
 „self‟ is the first argument of class method.
 No need to pass a value for self argument.
 Python provides values automatically.
 If a method is defined to accept only one argument,
it will take it as two arguments.
(i.e)
1.self argument
2. defined argument

Access the class members:

 Any class member /class variable / method (function) can be accessed by using
object with a dot(.) operator.

Syntax:
object_name.class_member

Example:
class sample:
x,y=10,20
s=sample( )
print(“The sum of x and y value is:”,s.x+s.y)

Output : The sum of x and y value is : 30

Ex:
SELECT * FROM student ORDER BY name; (By default- ASC)
SELECT * FROM student WHERE age>=18 ORDER BY name DESC;

176
49. Write short note on GROUP BY clause in SQL statement.
 It is used with SELECT statement to group on rows or columns having identical values
or divide the table into groups.
 It is mostly used in conjunction with aggregate functions to produce summary reports
 It applies the aggregate function independently to a series of groups that are defined by
having a field value in common.

Ex:
SELECT gender FROM student GROUP BY gender;
SELECT gender count(*) FROM student GROUP BY gender;

count  aggregate function

50. Write short note on HAVING clause in SQL statement.

5 Marks: (Book Back Questions)

1. Write the different types of constraints and their functions. *(Book Back).
1. UNIQUE constraint
2. PRIMARY KEY constraint
3. DEFAULT constraint
4. CHECK constraint
5. TABLE constraint

UNIQUE constraint:

 It ensures that no two rows have the same value in the specified columns.
 It is applied only to fields that have also been declared as NOT NULL.
 Two constraints are applied on a single field, it is known as multiple constraints.
Ex:
CREATE TABLE Student
(
Admno integer NOT NULL UNIQUE, → Unique constraint
Name char (20) NOT NULL,
Gender char(1),
Age integer
);

179
 PRIMARY KEY constraint:

 A field is declared as primary key.

 It helps to uniquely identify a record.
 It is similar to unique constraint.
 Except that only one field of a table can be set as primary key.
 It does not allow NULL values .
 A field declared as primary key must have the NOT NULL constraint.
Ex:

CREATE TABLE Student

(
Admno integer PRIMARY KEY, → Primary Key constraint
Name char(20) NOT NULL
Gender char(1),
Age integer
);
DEFAULT constraint:
 It is used to assign a default value for the field.
 If no value is given for the specified field having DEFAULT constraint, automatically
the default value will be assigned to the field.
Ex:
CREATE TABLE Student
(
Admno integer PRIMARY KEY,
Name char(20) NOT NULL,
Gender char(1),
Age integer DEFAULT = “17” → Default Constraint
);
CHECK constraint:
 It helps to set a limit value placed for a field.
 If we define a check constraint on a single column, it allows only the restricted values on
that field.
Ex:
CREATE TABLE Student
(
Admno integer PRIMARY KEY,
Name char(20)NOT NULL,
Gender char(1),
Age integer (CHECK<=19) → Check Constraint
);

180
TABLE constraint:
 It is applied to a group of fields of the table,
 It is known as Table constraint.
 It is given at the end of the table definition.
Ex:

CREATE TABLE Student

(
Admno integer NOT NULL,
Firstname char(20),
Lastname char(20),
Gender char(1),

1) DDL  Data Definition Language
2) DML  Data Manipulation Language
3) DCL  Data Control Language
4) TCL  Transaction Control Language
5) DQL  Data Query Language

Data Definition Language:

 It consists of SQL statements.

 It used to define the database structure or schema.
 It provides a set of definitions to specify the
 storage structure and
 access methods used by the database system`
Functions of DDL:
1. It should identify the type of data division
such as data item, segment, record and database file.
2. It gives a unique name to
each data item type, record type, file type and data base.
3. It should specify the proper data type.
4. It should define the size of the data item.
5. It may define the range of values for data item.
6. It may specify locks for preventing unauthorized data entry`

Create To create tables in the database.

Alter Alters the structure of the database.

Drop Delete tables from database.

Truncate Remove all records from a table, also release the space occupied by
those records.

182
 Data Manipulation Language:
 It is a query language.
 It is used for adding, removing and modifying data in a database.
 It modifies stored data. But not the schema of the database table.
DML

Procedural Non-Procedural
DML DML

Procedural DML:
 It requires a user to specify what data is needed and how to get it.

Non-Procedural DML:
 It requires a user to specify what data is needed without specifying how to get it.

Insert Inserts data into a table

Update Updates the existing data within a table.

Delete Deletes all records from a table, but not the space occupied by them.

Data Control Language:

 DCL is a programming language.
 It is used to control the access of data stored in a database.
 It is used for controlling privileges in the database (Authorization).

Grant Grants permission to one or more users to perform specific tasks.

Revoke Withdraws the access permission given by the GRANT statement.

Transaction Control Language:

 It used to manage transactions in the database.

Commit Saves any transaction into the database permanently.

Roll back Restores the database to last commit state.

Save point Temporarily save a transaction .so, that we can rollback.

183

format viz. xls or xlsx
5. It consumes more memory. It consumes less memory.
Importing CSV files can be much faster

203
2. Tabulate the different mode with its meaning.
Mode Description
„t‟ Open in text mode. (default)
„b‟ Open in binary mode.
„r‟ Open a file for reading. (default)
„w‟ Open a file for writing.
Create a new file . if it does not exist
(or)
Truncates the file if it exists.
„+‟ Open a file for updating (reading and writing)

„a‟ Open a file for appending at the end of the file ” without truncating it”.
Creates a new file , if it does not exist.
„x‟ Open a file for exclusive creation.
If the file already exists, the operation fails.

4. Write the different methods to read a File in Python.

Different methods to read a File in Python
1. CSV file-data with default delimiter comma(,)
2. CSV file-data with space at the beginning
3. CSV file-data with quotes
4. CSV file-data with custom delimiters

1. CSV file-data with default delimiter comma (,):

 Read CSV file-data with default delimiter comma(,) and print row by row.

Program Output
import csv [„SNO‟,‟NAME‟,‟CITY‟]
F = open('c:\pyprg\sample1.csv', 'r') [„101‟, „Ram‟, „Karur‟]
x = csv.reader(F) [„102‟, „Sita‟, „Salem‟]
for row in x: [„103‟, „Balu‟,‟Trichy‟]
print(row)
F.close()

2. CSV file-data with space at the beginning:

 The output is also displayed with spaces.

204
  The whitespaces can be removed, by registering new dialects using csv.register_dialect()
class of csv module.
 A dialect describes the format of the csv file that is to be read.
 In dialects the parameter “skipinitialspace” is used for removing whitespaces after the
delimiter.
 By default “skipinitialspace” has a value false.

Program Output
import csv Topic1,Topic2,Topic3
csv.register_dialect('myDialect',delimiter = ','
one, two, three
,skipinitialspace=True)
F = open('c:\pyprg\sample2.csv', 'r') Exam1,Exam2, Exam3
x= csv.reader(F, dialect='myDialect')
for row in x:
print(row)
F.close()

3. CSV file-data with quotes:

 We can read the csv file with quotes, by registering new dialects using
csv.register_dialect() class of csv module.

Program Output
import csv SNO, Quotes
csv.register_dialect('s',delimiter=',' , quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL,
skipinitialspace=True) 1, "Santhosh"
F = open('c:\pyprg\sample3.csv', 'r') 2, "Mohan"
reader=csv.reader(F, dialect='s')
for x in reader: 3, "Kumar"
print(x)
f.close() 4, "Raj"

4. CSV file-data with custom delimiters.

 We can read the csv file having custom delimiter by registering a new dialect with the
help of csv.register_dialect().

205
 Program Output
import csv ROLL NO | NAME | GENDER |AGE
csv.register_dialect('s',delimiter='|')
F = open('c:\pyprog\sample3.csv', 'r') 100 | SANTHOSH | M |16
reader=csv.reader(F,dialect='s') 101 | MOHAN | M |17
for x in reader:
print(x) 102 | KUMAR | M | 18
f.close()
103 | RAJ | M | 18

4. Write a Python program to write a CSV File with custom quotes.

 We can write the csv file with quotes, by registering new dialects using
csv.register_dialect() class of csv module.

Program Output
import csv “SNO”, “Person”,”DOB”
s=[[„SNO‟, „Person‟, „DOB‟], “1”, “Sam”, “07/01/2003”
[„1‟, „Sam‟, „07/01/2003‟], “2”, “Mohan”,”13/04/2003”
[„2‟, „Mohan‟,‟13/04/2003‟], “3”, “Kumar”,”25/09/2001”
[„3‟, „Kumar‟,‟25/09/2001‟], “4”, “Raj”, “21/4/2000”
[„4‟, „Raj‟, „21/4/2000‟], “5”, “Mani”, “07/06/2003”
[„5‟, „Mani‟, „07/06/2003‟]]
csv.register_dialect(„m‟,quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
F = open('c:\pyprog\person.csv', 'w')
writer = csv.writer(F, dialect=‟m‟)
for row in writer:
writer.writerow(row)
F.close()

3. Write the rules to be followed to format the data in a CSV file.

1. Each record (row of data) is to be located on a separate line.
It is delimited by a line break by pressing Enter key
Ex:
101, Ram, 590

206
 2. The last record in the file may or may not have an ending line break.

Ex:
101, Ram, 590
102, Sita , 595  last record

3. There may be an optional header line.

 It may be appearing as the first line of the file with the same format
as normal record lines.
 The header will contain names corresponding to the fields in the file.
 It should contain the same number of fields as the records in the rest of the file.
Ex:
Rollno, Name, Total
101, Ram, 590
102, Sita, 595 CRLF (Carriage Return and Line Feed)

4. Within the header and each record, there may be one or more fields, separated by commas.
 Spaces are considered part of a field and should not be ignored.
 The last field in the record must not be followed by a comma.
Ex:
102, Sita, 595

5. Each field may or may not be enclosed in double quotes.

 If fields are not enclosed with double quotes, then double quotes may not appear
inside the fields.

Ex: “101”,” Ram”,”590”  Field data with double quotes

102, Sita , 595  Field data without double quotes

6. Fields containing line breaks (CRLF), double quotes, and commas should be enclosed in
double-quotes ( “ “).
Ex:

Red, “,”, Blue  comma itself a field value. So, it is enclosed with
Red, Blue , Green double quotes

207
7. If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote appearing inside a field
must be preceded with “another double quote”.

Ex: ““Red””, ““Blue””, ““Green””  Since double quotes is a field value it is

enclosed with another double quotes.
, , white  Begins with two commas because the first
two fields of that were
empty.

Syntax Explanation :
argv  Argument list of values to be parsed (splited).
options  This is string of option letters for input or for output.
 options letters ( „i‟ or „o‟)
 options letters followed by colon (:)
 colon denotes the mode.

Long_options  contains list of strings.

 Long options argument should be followed by an equal sign („=‟).
getopt() method :
 The return value consists of two elements.
1) opts
2) args
 Each of these values are stored separately in two different list (arrays).

opts  contains list of splitted strings like mode and path.

args  contains error string. (if all comment is given with wrong path or wrong mode)
 args will be empty list. (if there is no error).

Ex :
opts, args = getopt . getopt(argv, “i:” , [„ ifile= ‟])

Where opts contains [('-i', 'c:\\pyprg\\p4')]

-i: Option - mode should be followed by :
'c:\\pyprg\\p4' Value – absolute path of c++ file.

Ex: 'c:/pyprg/sql.csv' (or) c:\\pyprg\\sql.csv‟

26. Write a note on group by clause.

 SELECT statement can be used along with GROUP BY clause.

 GROUP BY clause groups records into summary rows.
 It returns one records for each group.

225
  It is often used with aggregate functions (COUNT, MAX, MIN, SUM, AVG) to group
the result-set by one or more columns.
Ex:
cursor.execute("SELECT gender,count(gender) FROM student Group BY gender")

27. Write a note on order by clause.

5 Marks: (Book Back Questions)
1. Write in brief about SQLite and the steps used to use it.

 SQLite is a simple relational database system

 It saves its data in regular data files or in the internal memory of the computer.
 It is designed to be embedded in applications, instead of using a separate database server.
Advantages :
 SQLite is i) fast,
ii) rigorously tested
iii) flexible,
iv) making it easier to work.
 Python has a native library for SQLite.
To use SQLite:
Step1: import sqlite3
Step 2 : create a connection.
1. using connect () method
2. pass the name of the database File.
Step 3: Set the cursor object.
cursor = connection. cursor ()

Explanation:
1. In step 2, Connecting to a database means passing the name of the database to be
accessed.
2. If the database already exists, Python will open an existing database file.
]If the database not exists, Python will open a new database file.
3. In step 3, cursor is a control structure.
a) cursor is used to traverse and fetch the records of the database.
b) In python, all the commands will be executed using cursor object only.
Ex: sql_comm = "SQL statement"

 For executing the command use the cursor method .

 Then, pass the required sql command as a parameter.
 Many number of commands can be stored in the sql_comm.
 They can be executed one after other.
 Any changes made in the values of the record should be saved by the command "Commit"
before closing the "Table connection".

230
2. Write the Python script to display all the records of the following table using fetchmany()

Icode ItemName Rate

1003 Scanner 10500
1004 Speaker 3000
1005 Printer 8000
1008 Monitor 15000
1010 Mouse 700

PROGRAM Output

import sqlite3 Displaying all the records

connection=sqlite3.connect(“Material.db”)
(1003 , “ Scanner”, 10500)
cursor=connection.cursor()
cursor.execute(“SELECT*FROM hardware”) (1004 , “Speaker”, 3000)
print(“Displaying all the records:”) (1005 , “Printer”, 8000)
result=cursor.fetchall() (1008 , “Monitor”, 15000)
print(* result,sep=”\n”) (1010 , “Mouse”, 700)

3. What is the use of HAVING clause. Give an example python script

 Having clause is used to filter data based on the group functions.

 It is similar to WHERE condition.
 But Having clause can be used only with group functions.
 Group functions can be used in HAVING clause.

Ex:
import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect("Academy.db")
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT GENDER,COUNT(GENDER) FROM Student
GROUP BY GENDER HAVING COUNT(GENDER)>3")
result = cursor.fetchall()

result-set by one or more columns.
Ex:

Ex:
To count the number of male and female student from student table.

Program Output:
import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect("Academy.db") („F‟, 2)
cursor = connection.cursor() („M‟, 5)
cursor.execute("SELECT gender,count(gender) FROM student
Group BY gender")
result = cursor.fetchall()
print(*result,sep="\n")

ORDER BY Clause:
 It can be used along with the SELECT statement
 It is used to sort the data of specific fields in an ordered way(ascending/descending order).
Ex:
Name and rollno of the students are displayed in alphabetical order from student table.

Program Output:
import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect("Academy.db") („1‟, „Arun‟)
cursor = connection.cursor() („2‟, „Bala ‟)
cursor.execute("SELECT Rollno, sname FROM student („3‟, „Hari‟)

 Each bar has a height corresponds to the value it represents.
 The bars can be plotted vertically or horizontally.
 To make a bar chart with Matplotlib, we can use the plt.bar() function.

Ex:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
label = ["TAMIL", "ENGLISH", "CS"]
use = [6, 8, 10]
y = range(3)
plt.bar (y, use)
plt.xticks (y, label)
plt.ylabel ("RANGE")
plt.title ("MARKS")
plt.show()

Pie Chart :

 Pie Chart is probably one of the most common type of chart.

 It is a circular graphic .
 It is divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportion.
 The point of a pie chart is to show the relationship of parts out of a whole.
 To make a Pie Chart with Matplotlib, we can use the plt.pie() function.
 autopct parameter allows to display the percentage value using the Python string
formatting.

Ex:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sizes = [80, 90, 100]
labels = ["Tamil", "English", "CS"]
plt.pie (size, labels = labels, autopct= "%.2f")
plt.show()

 It allows to move back or forward again.

3. Pan Axis :

 This is cross-looking button

 It allows to click it, and then click and drag our graph around.

4. Zoom :
 It allows to click and drag a square that would like to zoom into specifically.
 Zooming in will require a left click and drag.
 Zoom out will require a right click and drag.
5. Configure Subplots :

plt.xlabel( )  specifies the label for the x-axis.

plt.ylabel( )  specifies the label for the y-axis.
plt.title( )  specifies the title to the graph.

249
 plt.legend( )  invoke the default legend with plt.legend( ).
 Calling legend( ) with no arguments automatically fetches the legend
handle and their associated labels.

plt.show( )  Display the plot/figure.
