LABORATORY MANUAL
 1. Lab Objectives:

 To write, test, and debug simple Python programs.

 To implement Python programs with conditionals and loops.
 Use functions for structuring Python programs.
 Represent compound data using Python lists, tuples, and dictionaries.

3. Introduction about lab

Minimum System

Requirements:
 Processors: Intel Atom® processor or Intel® Core™ i3 processor.
 Disk space: 1 GB.
 Operating systems: Windows* 7 or later, macOS, and Linux.
 Python* versions: 2.7.X, 3.6.X.,3.8.X

1.1 About lab:

Python is a general purpose, high-level programming language; other high- level

languages you might have heard of C++, PHP, and Java. Virtually all modern
programming languages make us of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE),
which allows the creation, editing, testing, and saving of programs and modules. In
Python, the IDE is called IDLE.

Many modern languages use both processes. They are first compiled into a lower
level language, called byte code, and then interpreted by a program called a virtual
machine.
4. Guidelines to students

A. Standard operating procedure

a) Explanation on today’s experiment by the technical instructor:
1) Name of the experiment
2) Aim
b) Writing the python programs by the students
c) Commands for executing programs

1.2 Writing of the experiment in the Observation Book

The students will write the each experiment in the Observation book as per the following
format:
a) Name of the experiment
b) Aim
c) Writing the program
d) Viva-Voce Questions and Answers
e) Errors observed (if any) during compilation/execution

B. Guide Lines to Students in Lab

Discipline to be maintained by the students in the Lab

 Students are required to carry their lab observation book and record book with
completed experiments while entering the lab.
 Students must use the equipment with care. Any damage is caused student is
punishable.
 Students are supposed to occupy the computers allotted to them and are not
supposed to talk or make noise in the lab. Students, after completion of each
experiment they need to be updated in observation notes and same to be
updated in the record.
 If a student is absent for any lab, they need to be completed the same
experiment in the free time before attending next lab.

1.3 Steps to perform experiments in the lab by the student

Step1: Students have to write the date, aim, Software & Hardware requirements
for that experiment in the observation book.
Step2: Students have to listen and understand the experiment explained by the
faculty and note down the important points in the observation book.
Step3: Students need to write procedure/algorithm in the observation book.
Step4: Analyze and Develop/implement the logic of the program by the student in
respective platform
Step5: Students need to attend the Viva-Voce on that experiment and write the
same in the observation book.

1.4 Instructions to maintain the record

 Before start of the first lab they have to buy the record and bring the record
to the lab.
 Regularly (Weekly) update the record after completion of the experiment
and get it corrected with concerned lab in-charge for continuous evaluation.

C. General laboratory instructions

1. Students are advised to come to the laboratory at least 5 minutes before (to the
starting time), those who come after 5 minutes will not be allowed into the lab.
2. Plan your task properly much before to the commencement, come prepared to
the lab with the synopsis / program / experiment details.
3. Student should enter into the laboratory with:
a. Laboratory observation notes with all the details (Problem statement, Aim,
Algorithm, Procedure, Program, Expected Output, etc.,) filled in for the lab
session.
b. Laboratory Record updated up to the last session experiments and other utensils
(if any) needed in the lab. c. Proper Dress code and Identity card.
4. Sign in the laboratory login register, write the TIME-IN, and occupy the
computer system allotted to you.
5. Execute your task in the laboratory, and record the results / output in the lab
observation note book.
6. All the students should be polite and cooperative with the laboratory staff, must
maintain the discipline and decency in the laboratory.
7. Computer labs are established with sophisticated and high end branded systems,
which should be utilized properly.
8. Students must keep their mobile phones in SWITCHED OFF mode during the
lab sessions. Misuse of the equipment, misbehaviors with the staff and systems
etc., will attract severe punishment.
9. Students must take the permission of the instructor in case of any urgency to go
out; if anybody found loitering outside the lab / class without permission during
working hours will be treated seriously and punished appropriately.
10. Students should LOG OFF/ SHUT DOWN the computer system before he/she
leaves the lab after completing the task (experiment) in all aspects. He/she must
ensure the system / seat is kept properly.
