Standard Questions
1. What are arrays in programming?
Ans. Arrays are collection of similar data type variables. Arrays do not support
different data types in same collection. For example, you can make an Array of
Integers as well as another Array of Strings. However, you cannot make an
Array having Integer and Strings in same Collection.

2. Explain how arrays are indexed in programming.


Ans. The variables in an Array are always ordered sequentially with index
starting with 0(Zero).

3. Explain how you can sort an array {67, 23, 98, 19} using Python?
Ans. Numbers=[67,23,98,19]
Numbers.sort()
print(Numbers)

Output: [19,23,67,98]

4. How do you search a particular value from an array in Python?


Ans. Python uses indexing as a method to search for an element in an array.
Eg:
X=[2,7,6,4,9,5,11]
print(x.index(9))

Output : 4
5. Find the array length, first index and last index of the given integer array.

1 2 3 4 5

Ans. Array length = 5


First Index = 0
Last index = 4
6. Which are the limitations while using Arrays.
Ans.
o You can only store variables with homogenous data types in an Array
o Arrays are always static and fixed in length and size
o The variables in an Array are always ordered sequentially with index
starting with 0
7. What is sorting an array?
Ans. Sorting is the process of ordering items in a collection.It is the process of
arranging the elements in the array in certain order.
Eg: Numbers=[8,3,10,5]
Numbers.sort()
print(Numbers)

Output: 3,5,8,10
8. What is searching in an array?
Ans. Searching in array means to find a particular element in the array. Python
uses indexing as a method to search for an element in an array.
Eg :
X=[“a”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e”]
print(x.index(“d”))

Output: 3
9. What is bubble sort? write a python program to sort an array.Ans. Bubble sort
is a method of sorting that works by repeatedly swapping adjacent elements if
they are in incorrect order.
Program :

def sort(nums):

for i in range(len(nums)-1,0,-1):

for j in range(i):

if nums[j]>nums[j+1]:

temp=nums[j]

nums[j]=nums[j+1]

nums[j+1]=temp

nums=[8,7,3,10,2,9]

sort(nums)

print(nums)

10.What is the starting index of an array.


Ans. 0
11.___________ method is used to add an element to an array.
Ans. append()
12.________ method is used to remove an element of an array.
Ans. pop() or remove()
13.The _________ method sorts the list ascending by default.
Ans. sort()
14.The values of an array can be accessed by referring to a/an _____number.
Ans. Index
