2 MARKS QUESTIONS:
124. What do you mean by Memory access time in computer system?
Ans. The amount of time taken to produce data required from memory, from the start of
access until the availability of data.
125. How a compiler is different from an interpreter?
Ans. An interpreter converts an HLL program into machine language line by line and
simultaneously executes the converted line. Also, an interpreter must always be present
in the memory along with the program for its execution. If an error occurs in a line, the
line is displayed and interpreter does not proceed unless the error is rectified.
A compiler converts an HLL language into machine language in one go. If there are
errors in the program, it gives the error list along with the line numbers. Once the errors
9
 are removed, error-free object code is made available and after this compiler is no more
needed in the memory.
126. What are various categories of software?
Ans. There are broadly two categories of software:
a) System Software: This type of software controls internal computer operations. The
system software can further be classified in two categories:
i) Operating system: An operating system is a program which acts as an interface
between a user and the hardware.
ii) Language processor: This program is responsible for converting an HLL code (High
Level Language Code) into machine understandable code.
b) Application Software: An application software is a set of programs necessary to carry out
operations for a specified applications.
127. Why is primary memory termed as ‘destructive write’ memory but ‘non-destructive read’
memory?
Ans. When a memory location is read from in the primary memory, the contents of the
memory word remain the same; they are not altered. Therefore a primary memory is
termed as “non-destructive read” memory since the read operation does not destruct
the contents of a memory word. When a write operation takes place, the previous
contents of the memory word are overwritten. Thus, the primary memory is termed as
“destructive write” memory as the write operation destructs the contents of a memory
word.
128. What is Register?
Ans. Registers or processor registers are small unit of data holding places. The CPU
uses registers to temporarily hold some important processing-information during the
time of processing is taking place. CPU may store some part data or some memory
address or some instruction in its processor registers.
129. Define dynamic RAM.
Ans. Dynamic RAM consists of transistor and capacitor that’s capable of storing an
electric charge. Depending on the switching action of the transistor, the capacitor either
contains no charge(0 bit) or does hold a charge(1 bit). The dynamic RAM provides
volatile storage i.e., contents are lost in the event of power failure.
130. What do you mean by memory refreshing?
Ans. The problem of a capacitor is that it starts loosing the charge over a period of
time, and can retain data for barely a thousandth of a second. Even a read-attempt also
drains out the charge. Therefore, the memory controller needs to refresh the memory
contents as many as a thousand times a second, which is called memory refreshing.
131. Define the following terms:
a) Sectors b) Tracks
Ans. a) The tracks on the disk surface are divided into invisible segments are known as
sectors.
b) Concentric circles on the magnetized surface of the magnetic disks are known as tracks.
132. What do you mean by software library?
Ans. A software library is a predefined and available to use, suite of data and
programming code in the form of prewritten code/functions/scripts/classes etc. that can
be used in the development of new software programs and applications.
Some examples of software libraries are:
Numpy(Numerical Python), SciPy(Scientific Python), Panda Library etc.
133. What are the advantages/disadvantages of working in Interactive mode in Python?
10
 Ans. Interactive mode is useful for testing code. We can type the commands one by one
and get the result of error immediately for each command. Disadvantages of Interactive
mode are that it does not save commands in form of a program and also output is
sandwiched between commands.
134. What do you mean by Dynamic Typing?
Ans. A variable pointing to a value of certain type, can be made to point to a value/object
of different type. This is called Dynamic Typing. For example:
x = 10
print(x)
x = "Hello World"
print(x)
135. What is the difference between keyword and identifier?
Ans. Keyword is a special word that has a special meaning and purpose. Keywords are
reserved and are a few. For example, if, elif, else etc.
Identifier is a user-defined name given to a part of a program viz. Variable, object,
function etc. Identifier are not reserved. These are defined by the user but they can
have letters, digits and a symbol underscore. They must begin with either a letter or
underscore.
136. Predict the output:
x=10
x=x+10
x=x-5
print(x)
x,y=x-2,22
print(x,y)
Ans. 15
13 22

141. What are Immutable and Mutable types in Python? List immutable and mutable types of
Python.
Ans. Mutable types are those whose values can be changed in place whereas Immutable
types are those that can never change their value in place.
Mutable types in Python are:
Lists, Dictionaries, Sets
Immutable types in Python are:
Integers, Floating-Point numbers, Booleans, Strings, Tuples
142. If you give the following for str1 = "Hello", why does Python report error?
str1[2] = 'p'
Ans. Python reports error because strings are immutable and hence item assignment
is not supported.
143. What are main error types? Which types are most dangerous and why?
Ans. The types of errors are:
1. Compile Time Errors (Syntax errors and Semantic Errors)
2. Runtime Errors
3. Logical Errors
Logical Errors are the most dangerous as they are hardest to prevent, find and fix.
144. What is the difference between an expression and a statement in Python?
Ans.
Expression Statement
An expression is a combination of A statement is defined as any
symbols, operators and operands. programming instruction given in
Python as per the syntax.
An expression represents some values. A statement is given to execute a
task.
The outcome of an expression is always a A statement may or may not return a
value. value as the result.
For example, 3*7+10 is an expression. print(“Hello”) is a statement.
145. What is the difference between an error and exception?
Ans. An Error is a bug in the code that causes irregular output or stops the program
from executing whereas an Exception is an irregular unexpected situation occurring
during execution on which programmer has no control.
146. How is break statement different from continue?
Ans. When the break statement gets executed, it terminates its loop completely and
control reaches to the statement immediately following the loop. The continue statement
terminates only the current iteration of the loop by skipping rest of the statements in the
body of the loop.
147. In which cases, the else clause of a loop does not get executed?
Ans.The else clause of a loop does not get executed if the loop is terminated due to the
execution of a break statement inside the loop.
148. What are jump statements? Name them.
Ans.Jump statements are used to unconditionally transfer program control to other parts
within a program. Python provides the below jump statements:
a) break
b) continue

163. What is fragmentation? How does it affect computers performance?
15
 Ans. A file is fragmented when it becomes too large for a computer to store in a single
location on a disk. When this happens, computer splits the file up and stores it in
pieces. This process is known fragmentation. If we use fragmented files, it takes
computer longer to access them.
164. What is the role of CPU in mobile system?
Ans. A mobile system has to cater to a variety of operations and applications and its
CPU has to manage all these. Thus the CPU of a mobile system has many sub-
processors that help it control and manage diverse applications. The CPU of a mobile
manages all these types of applications and operations:
 Manages communications while connecting to radio transceivers and SIM.
 Manages audio through ADC(analog to digital converter) and DAC(digital to analog
converter).

input another integer, y, and output the product of x and y followed by the difference between x
and y. However, it contains another error that causes it to behave incorrectly.

Describe how the program would behave if the user supplied values of 5 and 15 for x and y,
and also describe the additional correction that must be made in order for the program to run
correctly,

(c) Varun is writing a program to test if an input character is a hex digit or not. The program will
test the input single-character string with a value that is used in hexadecimal numerals (i.e., in
the range ‘0’ to ‘9’ or ‘a’ to ‘f’). Varun wants to store the legal hex digits in a sequence. Which
sequence should he use for it-list or a tuple? Justify.

(d) Write a python program to implement the problem of valid hex digits mentioned in previous
part(c) using a tuple only.
Ans.
(a) The three syntax errors are highlighted in color in the corrected code below:
x=int(input("Enter value for x"))
print("The square of x is", x*x) #comma (,) missing after the string message
y = input("Enter value for y")
print("The product of x and y is", xy) if x>y: #: was missing
print("The difference is", x-y)
else: #indentation error

25
 print("The difference is", y - x)
(b) The given code will input the value of y as a string as the input value is not converted
to int type:
y= input("Enter value for y")
If the above code is run with input values 5 and 15, it will give the output as:
Enter value for x5 The square of x is 25
Enter value for y15
The product of x and y is 1515151515
if x>y:
TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'
It yielded error for comparison of x and y as now the type of x is int type and y is string
type and hence these cannot be compared.
(c) Varun should choose tuple to store the legal hex digits. This is because the program
needs to store the hex digits in a sequence only once. The sequence once created need
not be changed
or updated. And since tuple is an immutable type, it supports this property.
hex = ('0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7, 8, 9', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F')
more = 'y' (4)
print("Checking for valid hex digits")
while more=='y' or more == 'Y':
dig input("Input single character: ")
if dig.upper() in hex:
print(dig, "is a valid hex digit.")
else:
print(dig, "is NOT a valid hex digit.")
more = input("Want to check more? (y/n) :")

197. Data Type: The data that needs to be processed by a computer can be in various form.
It can be numbers with or without decimal places or it can be just a single character or a
sequence of characters. The data to be handled by the computer can also be in group. All
computer programming languages support wide variety of data that can be stored, processed
and manipulated in a computer system. Data type is a term that is used to show the kind of data
values or the type of data that is expected to be handled.
Python has five standard data types: Numbers, Strings, Lists, Tuples and Dictionaries.

198. What are the four advantages or pluses of Python programming language?
Ans. Advantages of Python programming language are:
a) Easy to Use — Python is compact, programmer-friendly and very easy to use object
oriented language with very simple syntax rules.
b) Expressive Language — Python is an expressive language, it takes fewer lines of
codes to represent the same syntax.
c) Interpreted Language — Python is an interpreted language, not a compiled
language. It makes Python an easy-to-debug language and thus suitable for
beginners to advanced users.
d) Completeness — Python has a rich standard library that provides modules for most
types of required functionality like emails, web-pages, databases, GUI development,
network connections, etc..
199. How SoC is different from CPU? Why is it considered a better development? (3+1)
Ans. SoC refers to System on a Chip. An SoC consists of a central processing unit(CPU),
graphics processing unit(GPU), modem, multimedia processor, security device and signal
processor. An SoC is far more than a CPU. It not only comprises up of the smartphone’s
CPU, other functional sub-processors like GPU, display processor, video processor along
with LTE modem, and other bits of silicon that turn it into a functional ‘system’ in a phone.
An SoC offers better performance while the power consumption is comparatively less.

202. What is System Bus? Define four various types of system bus.
Ans. The system bus or the bus is an electronic pathway composed of connecting
cables
and that connects the major components of a computer system.
a) The data carrying part of system bus is called data bus.
b) The control instruction carrying part of system bus is called control bus.
c) The memory address carrying part of system bus is called address bus.
d) A separate type of bus called I/O bus connects the output, input and other external
devices to the system.
203. Are these values equal? Why/Why not? What does a cross platform language mean?

a) 20 and 20.0
b) 20 and int(20)
c) str(20) and str(20.0)
d) 'a' and "a"
Ans. a) The type of 20 is int whereas the type of 20.0 is float so they are two different
objects. Both have the same value of 20. So, as values are same equality (==) operator
return True but as objects are different is operator returns False.
b) The value and type of both 20 and int(20) are the same and both point to the same
object. so both equality (==) and is operator returns True.
c) For str(20) and str(20.0), both equality (==) and “is” operator returns False as their
values
are different and they point to two different objects.
d) For 'a' and "a", both equality (==) and is operator returns True as their values are same
and they point to the same object.
A cross platform language means it can run well on variety of platforms like Windows,
Linux/Unix, Macintosh etc.

30
 Ans. a) a=int(input("enter a number:"))
r=int(input("enter ratio:"))
n=int(input("enter the limit:"))
print("\n Series:\n")
sum=0
for i in range(1,n):
term=a*(r**i)
sum=sum+term
print("The sum of the series is:",sum)
b) The problem is that input() function returns value as a string, so the input integer
type
value is returned as string type value. And a string value cannot be subtracted from
an integer.

209. a) Write expression to convert the values 17, len('ab') to

(i) integer
(ii) str
(iii) boolean values
b) What is following code doing? What would it print for input as 3?
n = int(input( "Enter an integer:" ))
if n < 1 :
print ("invalid value")
else :
for i in range(1, n + 1):
print (i * i)
Ans. (i) int(17), int(len('ab'))
(ii) str(17), str(len('ab'))
(iii) bool(17), bool(len('ab'))
b) The code will print the square of each number from 1 till the number given as input
by the user if the input value is greater than 0. Output of the code for input as 3 is
shown below:
Enter an integer:3
1

9
210. a) Following expression does not report an error even if it has a sub-expression with 'divide
by zero' problem:
3 or 10/0
What changes can you make to above expression so that Python reports this error?
b) Find the error(s):
name = "Prejith"
age = 26
print ("Your name & age are ", name + age)
c) What will be the output produced?
x, y, z = True, False, False
a = x or (y and z)
b = (x or y) and z
print(a, b)
d) What will be the output produced?
s = 'Sipo'
s1 = s + '2'
s2 = s * 2
print(s1)
31
 print(s2)
Ans. a) Interchanging the operands of or operator will make Python report this error:
10/0 or 3
b) In the print statement we are trying to add name which is a string to age which is an
integer. This is an invalid operation in Python.
c) True False
d) Sipo2
SipoSipo
211. a) Predict the output:
x = 40
y=x+1
x = 20, y + x
print (x, y)
b) What will be the output produced by following code? Explain it.
>>> str(print())+"One"
c) What will the following code result into?
n1, n2 = 5, 7
n3 = n1 + n2
n4 = n4 + 2
print(n1, n2, n3, n4)
d) What is entry-controlled loop?
Ans. a) (20, 81) 41
b) 'NoneOne'
print() function doesn't return any value so its return value is None.
Hence, str(print()) becomes str(None). str(None) converts None into string 'None' and
addition operator joins 'None' and 'One' to give the final output as 'NoneOne'.
c) The code will result into an error as in the statement n4 = n4 + 2, variable n4 is
undefined.
d) An entry-controlled loop checks the condition at the time of entry. Only if the
condition
is true, the program control enters the body of the loop.

212. a) What do mean by source code and object code?

b) What is the difference between interactive mode and script mode in Python?
c) Find the output:
p,q=3,5
q,r=p-2,p+2
print(p,q,r)
Ans. a) A source code refers to the program-code written by a programmer in a high
level programming language(HLL) such as in C, Java, C++ etc.
If we declare a variable as integer but later store a string value in it Python won’t be
able to catch this mismatch of data type. This concept is known as Type-mismatch
issue.
b) In interactive mode, instructions are given in front of Python prompt(e.g., >>> or
In[ ]: prompts) in Python Shell. Python carries out the given instruction and shows
the results there itself.
In script mode, Python instructions are stored in a file generally with .py extension and
are executed together in one go as a unit. The saved instructions are known as Python
script or Python program.
c) 3 1 5
213. Write down four disadvantages or minuses of Python programming language? What is a
variable?
Ans. Some limitations of Python programming language are:

32
a) Not the Fastest Language — As Python is an interpreted language so its execution-
times are not that fast compared to some compiled languages.
b) Lesser Libraries than C, Java, Perl — Library collection of C, Java, Perl is better
than Python.
c) Not strong on Type-Binding — Python interpreter is not very strong on catching
'Type-Mismatch' issues.
d) Not easily convertible — Translating Python programs to other languages is difficult
due to its lack of syntax.
Named labels, whose values can be used and processed during program run, are
called variables.
