as instructed into the function body.
Q. 3. Positional Arguments allows the user to pass as
many arguments as required in the program.
Ans. False
Explanation: Positional Arguments:
Arguments passed to a function in correct
positional order, no. of arguments must match
with no. of parameters required.
Variable Length Arguments: It allows the user
to pass as many arguments as required in the
program. Variable-length arguments are
defined with the * symbol.
Q. 4. A variable that is declared in top-level
statements is called a global variable.
Ans. True
Explanation: To access the value of a global
variable, a user needs to write a global keyword
in front of the variable in a function.
Q. 5. Dividing a program into modules reduces
Ans. reference
Explanation: When mutable type arguments are passed
to a function, its reference is also passed to the function
and hence, their values can be altered by the function.
When immutable type arguments are passed to a
function, only its value is passed to the function and
hence, their values cannot be altered by the function.
Q. 2. The ………….. function returns the number of items in an
object.
Ans. len()
Explanation: If the object being passed is a string, then
the len() function returns the number of characters in
string.
Q. 3. A …………..variable is accessible only in the function
where it is declared.
Ans. local
Explanation: A local variable is accessible only in the
function where it is declared i.e., it is declared inside a
function and can be accessed only from that function.
Q. 4. functions do not return any value.
Ans. Void
Explanation: Void functions are those functions that do
not return any value or don’t have a return statement.
Q. 5. The functions that you can readily use without having to
write any special code are pre-defined functions called
functions.
Ans. built-in
Explanation: The Python built-in functions are defined
as the functions whose functionality is pre-defined in
Python. The python interpreter has several functions
that are always present for use. These functions are
known as Built-in Functions.
Examples of built-in functions:
● len( )
● type( )
● input( )
