ANSWERS
Descriptive Questions:
1. A function is a named group of statements which get executed when the function is invoked.
2.
Actual Parameters Formal Parameter
Parameter used in function call. Parameter used in function definition.
Can be an identifier, a literal, or any other valid Has to be an identifier only.
expression.
Example:
def func(a,b):
print(a,b)
r=1
func(3,r*2)

In the above code, 3 and r*2 in the function call are actual parameters, whereas a and b in
the function definition are formal parameters.
3.
Value Parameter Reference Parameter
It is a copy of the corresponding actual It is an alias of the corresponding reference
parameter. parameter.
Any change in a value parameter does not Any change in a reference parameter is
affect the corresponding actual parameter. reflected on the corresponding actual
parameter too.
All immutable data objects are accepted as All mutable data objects are accepted as
value parameters in a function. reference parameters in a function.
Example:
def func(a,b):
a[b]+=1
b+=1
arr=[1,2,3,4]
n=2
func(arr,n)
print(arr,n)

In the above code arr is passed to a as a reference parameter, and n is passed to b as a

value parameter. After the function call, the value of arr is changed, whereas value of n
remains the same. The output of the above code is: [1, 2, 4, 4] 2
4. Scope of a variable refers to the part of the code (program) in which it can be used.
5.
Local variable Global variable
Defined inside a function without using the Defined outside any function, or inside a
keyword ‘global’. function using the keyword ‘global’.

used. declaration, in a program.
Example:
def func():
global p,q
a=p; q=a; p=a+q
print(a,p,q)
p=3
func()
print(p,q)
In the above code p and q are global variables, whereas a is a local variable. The output
produced by the above code is:
3 6 3
6 3
6. Keyword ‘global’ is used in a function to
(i) Specify the global variable(s) which need to be updated in the function
(ii) Declare global variable(s) inside a function.

 QB/XII/083/Easy Revision – 2021/Part-2
7. Yes, a function can have a local variable with the same name as that of a global variable in the script.
Yes, it is possible to access global variable with the same name in that function using the in-built
function globals().
8. return statement is used to return a value from a function. A fuction returns None in the following three
cases:
(i) The function has no return statement
(ii) The function has blank return statement
(ii) The function explicitly returns None by return statement.
9. A mutable data object is always passed as a reference parameter to a function. It means that whatever
change is made to the corresponding formal parameter, it will be reflected on the passed data object
too.
An immutable data object is always passed as a value parameter to a function. It means that any
change made to the corresponding formal parameter has no effect on the passed data object.
10. A function header is the first statement of a function definition. It starts with key word def, followed by
function name and an optional list of parameters within parentheses, and is terminated by a colon (:).
Example:
def func(a,b): #function header
print(a,b)
11.
def func(x): ->Function header, formal parameter - b
global b
y=b+2
b*=y function body
y+=x+b
print(x,y,b)
x,b=5,10
func(x) -> Function Call, Actual parameter - x
print(func(x)) -> Function Call, Actual parameter - x
12. A module is a python script (a .py file) containing one or more of the following components: declarations
(classes, objects, variables etc.), function definitions, function calls, independentt statements
(executable code outside a function).
13. A package is a folder containing one or more modules and a file __init__.py. The presence of the file
__init__.py, even if empty, lets python treat a folder as a package to be imported in other modules, if
required. Without __init__.py, a folder is just a normal folder and cannot be treated as a package.

RDBMS – Descriptive Questions

(i) A table may have more than one such attribute/group of attributes that identify a row/tuple
uniquely. All such attribute(s)/group(s) are known as Candidate keys. Out of the candidate keys,
one is selected as primary key.
Example:
Relation: Stock
Ino Item Qty Price
I01 Pen 560 2
I02 Pencil 600 1
I03 CD 200 3
In this relation Ino and Item are Candidate keys. Any one of these can be designated as the
Primary key.

(ii) Degree of a table is the number of coulmns (attributes) in It, whereas Cardinality is the number of
rows (tuples) in it.
Degree of the given table is 3 and its Cardinality is 2.

(iii) A table may have more than one such attribute/group of attributes that identify a row/tuple
uniquely. All such attribute(s)/group(s) are known as Candidate keys. Out of the candidate keys,
one is selected as primary key and the other keys are known an alternate keys.
Example:
Relation: Stock
Ino Item Qty Price
I01 Pen 560 2
I02 Pencil 600 1
I03 CD 200 3
In this relation Ino and Item are Candidate keys. If Ino is selected as the primary key, then Item
will be the alternate key, and vice-versa.
