22. Global variables: Defined outside of any function, usually at the top (2)

of a program. They can be accessed from anywhere in the program

and remain in memory for the duration of the program.

Local variables: Defined inside a function or block. They can only

be accessed from within the function or block where they are defined

and exist only during the function's execution.

def demo():

A=60 #Local Variable

print(A)

demo()

print(A)

mark for correctly identifying global variable and Half mark for

correctly identifying local variable in the given python code.

23. Error: Errors represent serious issues that occur at the system level or (2)
issues with the Python interpreter itself. These are generally
unrecoverable and signify conditions that the programmer typically
does not handle.

Types: Syntax Error, Semantic Error Etc.

Exception: Exceptions represent runtime issues that occur while the

program is running. Unlike errors, exceptions can be anticipated and
handled by the programmer. Handled using try-except blocks.

Types: Built-in Exceptions, User-defined Exceptions

1 Mark for each correct difference (Two differences should be given)

36. Pickling: (2+3=5)

 Pickling is the process of converting a Python object into a byte

stream (a binary format).

 This process is also called serialization.

 The purpose of pickling is to save Python objects to a file, send

them over a network, or store them in a database.

Unpickling:

 Unpickling is the reverse process of pickling, where the byte

stream (binary format) is converted back into the original
Python object.

 This process is also called deserialization.

 The goal of unpickling is to retrieve the original Python object

from a saved binary representation.
