Q2. (a) Write a function count_dwords() in python that counts numbers of words in a text file 2
“details.txt” ends with a digit.
If the file content is as follows:
On seat2 VIP1 will sit and on seat1 VVIP2 will sit.
Output will be:
Total words ending with a digit are: 4

(b) There is a text file “ Bharat.txt” containing some line of text as under: 2
“Army Public School, Ranikhet is situated between lush green of Pine and Deodar trees.” Write
the output of the given code:
x=open("india.txt", "r")
print(x.tell())
k=x.read(5)

print()

(e) Write the blank1 and Blank2 statements for the following python code to complete the python
code of records modification:
#Blank1 __________________Write a statement that enables python to work with csv files
with open("hem.csv","w",newline='') as f: 2
w=csv.writer(f)
w.writerow(['Admno', 'Name','Marks'])
while True:
admno=input("Enter Adm No:")
name=input("Enter name:")

B. Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
C. A is True but R is False 2
(f) D. A is false but R is True

(i) Assertion: Text files can only store objects as strings in them.

Reasoning: Text files can be opened in text as well as binary modes.

(ii) Assertion: CSV files stores data in a file with values separated by commas and we can
open them normally using open() function.
Reasoning: CSV files are simple text files with .csv extension.

(g) Consider a binary file “book.dat” that has structure [BookNo,Book_Name, Author, Price]. 2
Write a user defined function CreateFile() that takes input data for a record and add to
book.dat
(h) Write a function that will display only those lines of a text file “bharat.txt” which are starting 2
with letter ‘M’

(i) Write a function to read and display the contents of a csv file “data.csv”, the file contains data 2
in the given format: [admno, name, class, per]

(j) WAF to read and display only those words from a text file “ranikhet.txt” which are starting with 2
vowel characters.

SECTION-C

Q3.(a) A dictionary, d_city contains the records in the following format : 3

{state:city}

Define the following functions with the given specifications :

(i) push_city(d_city): It takes the dictionary as an argument and pushes all the cities in the stack
CITY whose states are of more than 4 characters.
(ii) pop_city(): This function pops the cities and displays "Stack empty" when there are no more
cities in the stack

(b) Write a python function push(stack) that pushes on to an empty list(stack) all the values of a 3
dictionary whose keys are palindromes.
Eg: for the dictionary {'ROY':100, 'ARORA':200, 'MADAM':250, 'SAHA':300, 'LEVEL':400} the stack
should have the values 200, 250 and 400 since ARORA, MADAM and LEVEL are palindromes.

Write a python function popstack(stack) that pops out the last added element from the stack
each time the function is called and also prints a 'Stack Empty' message if all the elements have
popped out.
Also write the call statements for both the functions.

(c) A pre-written text file data.txt has some strings stored in it. Write a python function display() 3
that reads the contents of the file and displays all the words that start with the substring 'th' or
'Th'.
Eg. If the file has the following data:
“There was a man who throughout his life
 thanked others for their little help”
The output should be:
There
throughout
thanked

(d) Consider a list named Nums which contains random integers. Write the following user defined 3
functions in Python and perform the specified operations on a stack named BigNums.

G PushBig() : It checks every number from the list Nums and pushes all such numbers which
have 5 or more digits into the stack, BigNunms.

(ii) PopBig() : It pops the numbers from the stack, BigNums and displays them. The function
should also display "Stack Empty" when there are no more numbers left in the stack.

For example: If the list Nums contains the following data : Nums = [213,10025,167,254923,14,
1297653, 31498 , 386, 92765]

Then on execution of PushBig(), the stack BigNums should store : [10025, 254923, 1297653,
31498, 92765]

And on execution of PopBig() , the following output should be displayed :

92765

31498

1297653

254923

10025
Stack is Empty

(a) Write one difference , between CSV and text files.

(e) 5
(b) Write a program in Python that defines and calls the following user _ defined functions:

COURIER_ADD( ): It takes ‘the values from the user ‘and adds : the details to a csv file
'courier.csv'. Each record consists of a list with field' elements as Cid, S_name, Source,
destination to store Courier ID, Sender name, Source and destination address respectively.

COURIER_SEARCH() : Takes the destination a the input and displays all the courier records going
to that destination.

(f) 1) Write a method/function COUNTWORDS() in Python to read contents 3+2

from a text file DECODE.TXT, to count and return the occurrence of
those words, which are having 5 or more characters.
OR
(b) Write a method/function COUNTLINES() in Python to read lines from
a text file CONTENT.TXT, and display those lines, which have @ anywhere in the line.

2) Write a function to create a csv file cricket.csv, this file stores records in the given format:
[playercode, player_name, runs, wickets]

(g) 1) Give one difference between write() and writeline() function in text file. 1+4

2) A Binary file, "Items.dat" has the following structure :

[Icode, Description, Price] Where
 Icode – Item code, Description – Detail of item
Price – Price of item. Write a function Add_data(), that takes Icode,
Description and Price from the user and writes the information in the binary file "Items.dat".
(h) What is the main purpose of seek() and tell() method ? 1+4
(ii) Consider a binary file, Cinema.dat containing information in
the following structure :
[Mno, Mname, Mtype]
Write a function, search_copy(), that reads the content from the file Cinema.dat and copies all
the details of the "Comedy" movie type to file named movie.dat.
