CHAPTER 7

PYTHON FUNDAMENTALS

Type A : Short Answer Questions/Conceptual Questions

1. What are tokens in Python ? How many types of tokens are

allowed in Python ? Examplify your answer.

The smallest individual unit in a program is known as a Token.

Python has following tokens:

1. Keywords — Examples are import, for, in, while, etc.

2. Identifiers — Examples are MyFile, _DS, DATE_9_7_77, etc.
3. Literals — Examples are "abc", 5, 28.5, etc.
4. Operators — Examples are +, -, >, or, etc.
5. Punctuators — ' " # () etc.

2. How are keywords different from identifiers ?

Keywords are reserved words carrying special meaning and purpose

to the language compiler/interpreter. For example, if, elif, etc. are
keywords. Identifiers are user defined names for different parts of the
program like variables, objects, classes, functions, etc. Identifiers are not
reserved. They can have letters, digits and underscore. They must begin
with either a letter or underscore. For example, _chk, chess, trail, etc.

3. What are literals in Python ? How many types of literals are

allowed in Python ?

Literals are data items that have a fixed value. The different types of
literals allowed in Python are:

1. String literals
2. Numeric literals
3. Boolean literals
4. Special literal None
5. Literal collections

4. Can nongraphic characters be used in Python ? How ? Give

examples to support your answer.

Yes, nongraphic characters can be used in Python with the help of

escape sequences. For example, backspace is represented as \b, tab is
represented as \t, carriage return is represented as \r.

5. How are floating constants represented in Python ? Give

examples to support your answer.

Floating constants are represented in Python in two forms —

Fractional Form and Exponent form. Examples:

1. Fractional Form — 2.0, 17.5, -13.0, -0.00625

2. Exponent form — 152E05, 1.52E07, 0.152E08, -0.172E-3

6. How are string-literals represented and implemented in Python ?

 A string-literal is represented as a sequence of characters
surrounded by quotes (single, double or triple quotes). String-literals in
Python are implemented using Unicode.

7. Which of these is not a legal numeric type in Python ?

(a) int (b) float (c) decimal.

decimal is not a legal numeric type in Python.

8. Which argument of print( ) would you set for:

(i) changing the default separator (space) ?

(ii) printing the following line in current line ?

(i) sep
(ii) end

9. What are operators ? What is their function ? Give examples of some

unary and binary operators.

Operators are tokens that trigger some computation/action when

applied to variables and other objects in an expression. Unary plus (+),
Unary minus (-), Bitwise complement (~), Logical negation (not) are a few
examples of unary operators. Examples of binary operators are Addition (+),
Subtraction (-), Multiplication (*), Division (/).

10. What is an expression and a statement ?

An expression is any legal combination of symbols that

represents a value. For example, 2.9, a + 5, (3 + 5) / 4.
A statement is a programming instruction that does something i.e.
some action takes place. For example:
print("Hello")
a = 15
b = a - 10

11. What all components can a Python program contain ?

A Python program can contain various components like expressions,

statements, comments, functions, blocks and indentation.

12. What do you understand by block/code block/suite in Python ?

A block/code block/suite is a group of statements that are part

of another statement. For example:

if b > 5:
print("Value of 'b' is less than 5.")
print("Thank you.")
13. What is the role of indentation in Python ?

Python uses indentation to create blocks of code. Statements at same

indentation level are part of same block/suite.
14. What are variables ? How are they important for a program ?

Variables are named labels whose values can be used and processed
during program run. Variables are important for a program because they
enable a program to process different sets of data.

15. What do you understand by undefined variable in Python ?

In Python, a variable is not created until some value is assigned to it.

A variable is created when a value is assigned to it for the first time. If we
try to use a variable before assigning a value to it then it will result in an
undefined variable. For example:

print(x) #This statement will cause an error for undefined variable x

x = 20
print(x)
The first line of the above code snippet will cause an undefined variable
error as we are trying to use x before assigning a value to it.

16. What is Dynamic Typing feature of Python ?

A variable pointing to a value of a certain type can be made to point to

a value/object of different type.This is called Dynamic Typing. For example:

x = 10
print(x)
x = "Hello World"
print(x)
17. What would the following code do : X = Y = 7 ?

It will assign a value of 7 to the variables X and Y.

18. What is the error in following code : X, Y = 7 ?

The error in the above code is that we have mentioned two variables X,
Y as Lvalues but only give a single numeric literal 7 as the Rvalue. We need
to specify one more value like this to correct the error:

X, Y = 7, 8
19. Following variable definition is creating problem X = 0281, find
reasons.

Python doesn't allow decimal numbers to have leading zeros. That is

the reason why this line is creating problem.

20. "Comments are useful and easy way to enhance readability and
understandability of a program." Elaborate with examples.

Comments can be used to explain the purpose of the program,

document the logic of a piece of code, describe the behaviour of a program,
etc. This enhances the readability and understandability of a program. For
example:

# This program shows a program's components

# Definition of function SeeYou() follows

def SeeYou():
 print("Time to say Good Bye!!")

# Main program-code follows now

a = 15
b = a - 10
print (a + 3)
if b > 5: # colon means it's a block
print("Value of 'a' was more than 15 initially.")
else:
print("Value of 'a' was 15 or less initially.")

SeeYou() # calling above defined function SeeYou()

Type B: Application Based Questions

1. From the following, find out which assignment statement will

produce an error. State reason(s) too.

(a) x = 55
(b) y = 037
(c) z = 0o98
(d) 56thnumber = 3300
(e) length = 450.17
(f) !Taylor = 'Instant'
(g) this variable = 87.E02
(h) float = .17E - 03
(i) FLOAT = 0.17E - 03

Answer

1. y = 037 (option b) will give an error as decimal integer literal cannot

start with a 0.
2. z = 0o98 (option c) will give an error as 0o98 is an octal integer literal
due to the 0o prefix and 8 & 9 are invalid digits in an octal number.
3. 56thnumber = 3300 (option d) will give an error as 56thnumber is an
invalid identifier because it starts with a digit.
4. !Taylor = 'Instant' (option f) will give an error as !Taylor is an invalid
identifier because it contains the special character !.
5. this variable = 87.E02 (option g) will give an error due to the space
present between this and variable. Identifiers cannot contain any
space.
6. float = .17E - 03 (option h) will give an error due to the spaces present
in exponent part (E - 03). A very important point to note here is
that float is NOT a KEYWORD in Python. The statement float =
.17E-03 will execute successfully without any errors in Python.
7. FLOAT = 0.17E - 03 (option i) will give an error due to the spaces
present in exponent part (E - 03).

2. How will Python evaluate the following expression ?

(i) 20 + 30 * 40

Answer
 20 + 30 * 40
⇒ 20 + 1200
⇒ 1220

(ii) 20 - 30 + 40

Answer

20 - 30 + 40
⇒ -10 + 40
⇒ 30

(iii) (20 + 30) * 40

Answer

(20 + 30) * 40
⇒ 50 * 40
⇒ 2000

(iv) 15.0 / 4 + (8 + 3.0)

Answer

15.0 / 4 + (8 + 3.0)
⇒ 15.0 / 4 + 11.0
⇒ 3.75 + 11.0
⇒ 14.75

3.Find out the error(s) in following code fragments:

(i)

temperature = 90
print temperature
Answer

The call to print function is missing parenthesis. The correct way to call
print function is this:
print(temperature)

(ii)

a = 30
b=a+b
print (a And b)
Answer

There are two errors in this code fragment:

1. In the statement b=a+b variable b is undefined.

2. In the statement print (a And b), And should be written as and.

(iii)

a, b, c = 2, 8, 9
print (a, b, c)
c, b, a = a, b, c
print (a ; b ; c)
Answer

In the statement print (a ; b ; c) use of semicolon will give error. In place of

semicolon, we must use comma like this print (a, b, c)
(iv)

X = 24
4=X
Answer

The statement 4 = X is incorrect as 4 cannot be a Lvalue. It is a Rvalue.

(v)

print("X ="X)
Answer

There are two errors in this code fragment:

1. Variable X is undefined
2. "X =" and X should be separated by a comma like this print("X =", X)

(vi)

else = 21 - 5
Answer

else is a keyword in Python so it can't be used as a variable name.

4. What will be the output produced by following code fragment (s) ?

(i)

X = 10
X = X + 10
X=X-5
print (X)
X, Y = X - 2, 22
print (X, Y)
Output

15
13 22
Explanation

1. X = 10 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 10 to X.

2. X = X + 10 ⇒ X = 10 + 10 = 20. So value of X is now 20.
3. X = X - 5 ⇒ X = 20 - 5 = 15. X is now 15.
4. print (X) ⇒ print the value of X which is 15.
5. X, Y = X - 2, 22 ⇒ X, Y = 13, 22.
6. print (X, Y) ⇒ prints the value of X which is 13 and Y which is 22.

(ii)
first = 2
second = 3
third = first * second
print (first, second, third)
first = first + second + third
third = second * first
print (first, second, third)
Output

236
11 3 33
Explanation

1. first = 2 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 2 to first.

2. second = 3 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 3 to second.
3. third = first * second ⇒ third = 2 * 3 = 6. So variable third is initialized
with a value of 6.
4. print (first, second, third) ⇒ prints the value of first, second, third as
2, 3 and 6 respectively.
5. first = first + second + third ⇒ first = 2 + 3 + 6 = 11
6. third = second * first ⇒ third = 3 * 11 = 33
7. print (first, second, third) ⇒ prints the value of first, second, third as
11, 3 and 33 respectively.

(iii)

side = int(input('side') ) #side given as 7

area = side * side
print (side, area)
Output

side7
7 49
Explanation

1. side = int(input('side') ) ⇒ This statements asks the user to enter the

side. We enter 7 as the value of side.
2. area = side * side ⇒ area = 7 * 7 = 49.
3. print (side, area) ⇒ prints the value of side and area as 7 and 49
respectively.

5. What is the problem with the following code fragments ?

(i)

a=3
print(a)
b=4
print(b)
s=a+b
print(s)
Answer

The problem with the above code is inconsistent indentation. The

statements print(a), print(b), print(s) are indented but they are not inside a
suite. In Python, we cannot indent a statement unless it is inside a suite
and we can indent only as much is required.
(ii)

name = "Prejith"
age = 26
print ("Your name & age are ", name + age)
Answer

In the print statement we are trying to add name which is a string to age
which is an integer. This is an invalid operation in Python.

(iii)

a=3
s = a + 10
a = "New"
q = a / 10
Answer

The statement a = "New" converts a to string type from numeric type due to
dynamic typing. The statement q = a / 10 is trying to divide a string with a
number which is an invalid operation in Python.

6. Predict the output:

(a)

x = 40
y=x+1
x = 20, y + x
print (x, y)
Output

(20, 81) 41
Explanation

1. x = 40 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 40 to x.

2. y = x + 1 ⇒ y = 40 + 1 = 41. So y becomes 41.
3. x = 20, y + x ⇒ x = 20, 41 + 40 ⇒ x = 20, 81. This makes x a Tuple of
2 elements (20, 81).
4. print (x, y) ⇒ prints the tuple x and the integer variable y as (20, 81)
and 41 respectively.

(b)

x, y = 20, 60
y, x, y = x, y - 10, x + 10
print (x, y)
Output

50 30
Explanation

1. x, y = 20, 60 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 20 to x and 60 to y.

 2. y, x, y = x, y - 10, x + 10
⇒ y, x, y = 20, 60 - 10, 20 + 10
⇒ y, x, y = 20, 50, 30
First RHS value 20 is assigned to first LHS variable y. After that
second RHS value 50 is assigned to second LHS variable x. Finally
third RHS value 30 is assigned to third LHS variable which is again y.
After this assignment, x becomes 50 and y becomes 30.
3. print (x, y) ⇒ prints the value of x and y as 50 and 30 respectively.

(c)

a, b = 12, 13
c, b = a*2, a/2
print (a, b, c)
Output

12 6.0 24
Explanation

1. a, b = 12, 13 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 12 to a and 13 to b.

2. c, b = a*2, a/2 ⇒ c, b = 12*2, 12/2 ⇒ c, b = 24, 6.0. So c has a value
of 24 and b has a value of 6.0.
3. print (a, b, c) ⇒ prints the value of a, b, c as 12, 6.0 and 24
respectively.

(d)

a, b = 12, 13
print (print(a + b))
Output

25
None
Explanation

1. a, b = 12, 13 ⇒ assigns an initial value of 12 to a and 13 to b.

2. print (print(a + b)) ⇒ First print(a + b) function is called which prints
25. After that, the outer print statement prints the value returned by
print(a + b) function call. As print function does not return any value
so outer print function prints None.

7. Predict the output

a, b, c = 10, 20, 30
p, q, r = c - 5, a + 3, b - 4
print ('a, b, c :', a, b, c, end = '')
print ('p, q, r :', p, q, r)
Output

a, b, c : 10 20 30p, q, r : 25 13 16
Explanation

1. a, b, c = 10, 20, 30 ⇒ assigns initial value of 10 to a, 20 to b and 30 to

c.
 2. p, q, r = c - 5, a + 3, b - 4
⇒ p, q, r = 30 - 5, 10 + 3, 20 - 4
⇒ p, q, r = 25, 13, 16.
So p is 25, q is 13 and r is 16.
3. print ('a, b, c :', a, b, c, end = '') ⇒ This statement prints a, b, c : 10 20
30. As we have given end = '' so output of next print statement will
start in the same line.
4. print ('p, q, r :', p, q, r) ⇒ This statement prints p, q, r : 25 13 16

8. Find the errors in following code fragment

(a)

y=x+5
print (x, Y)
Answer

There are two errors in this code fragment:

1. x is undefined in the statement y = x + 5

2. Y is undefined in the statement print (x, Y). As Python is case-sensitive
hence y and Y will be treated as two different variables.

(b)

print (x = y = 5)
Answer

Python doesn't allow assignment of variables while they are getting printed.

(c)

a = input("value")
b = a/2
print (a, b)
Answer

The input( ) function always returns a value of String type so variable a is a

string. This statement b = a/2 is trying to divide a string with an integer
which is invalid operation in Python.

9. Find the errors in following code fragment : (The input entered is XI)

c = int (input ( "Enter your class") )

print ("Your class is", c)
Answer

The input value XI is not int type compatible.

Question 10

Consider the following code :

name = input ("What is your name?")

print ('Hi', name, ',')
print ("How are you doing?")
was intended to print output as

Hi <name>, How are you doing ?

But it is printing the output as :

Hi <name>,
How are you doing?
What could be the problem ? Can you suggest the solution for the same ?

Answer

The print() function appends a newline character at the end of the line
unless we give our own end argument. Due to this behaviour of print()
function, the statement print ('Hi', name, ',1) is printing a newline at the
end. Hence "How are you doing?" is getting printed on the next line.
To fix this we can add the end argument to the first print() function like
this:
print ('Hi', name, ',1, end = '')

Question 11

Find the errors in following code fragment :

c = input( "Enter your class" )

print ("Last year you were in class") c - 1
Answer

There are two errors in this code fragment:

1. c - 1 is outside the parenthesis of print function. It should be specified

as one of the arguments of print function.
2. c is a string as input function returns a string. With c - 1, we are
trying to subtract a integer from a string which is an invalid operation
in Python.

The corrected program is like this:

c = int(input( "Enter your class" ))

print ("Last year you were in class", c - 1)

Question 12

What will be returned by Python as result of following statements?

(a) >>> type(0)

Answer

<class 'int'>

(b) >>> type(int(0))

Answer

<class 'int'>

(c) >>>.type(int('0')
Answer

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

(d) >>> type('0')

Answer

<class 'str'>

(e) >>> type(1.0)

Answer

<class 'float'>

(f) >>> type(int(1.0))

Answer

<class 'int'>

(g) >>>type(float(0))

Answer

<class 'float'>

(h) >>> type(float(1.0))

Answer

<class 'float'>

(i) >>> type( 3/2)

Answer

<class 'float'>

Question 13

What will be the output produced by following code ?

(a) >>> str(print())+"One"

Output

'NoneOne'

Explanation

print() function doesn't return any value so its return value is None.
Hence, str(print()) becomes str(None). str(None) converts None into string
'None' and addition operator joins 'None' and 'One' to give the final output
as 'NoneOne'.
(b) >>> str(print("hello"))+"One"

Output

hello 'NoneOne'
Explanation

First, print("hello") function is executed which prints the first line of the
output as hello. The return value of print() function is None i.e. nothing.
str() function converts it into string and addition operator joins 'None' and
'One' to give the second line of the output as 'NoneOne'.

(c) >>> print(print("Hola"))

Output

Hola None

Explanation

First, print("Hola") function is executed which prints the first line of the
output as Hola. The return value of print() function is None i.e. nothing.
This is passed as argument to the outer print function which converts it
into string and prints the second line of output as None.

(d) >>> print (print ("Hola", end = ""))

Output

HolaNone

Explanation

First, print ("Hola", end = "") function is executed which prints Hola. As end
argument is specified as "" so newline is not printed after Hola. The next
output starts from the same line. The return value of print() function is
None i.e. nothing. This is passed as argument to the outer print function
which converts it into string and prints None in the same line after Hola.

Question 14

Carefully look at the following code and its execution on Python shell. Why
is the last assignment giving error ?

>>> a = 0o12
>>> print(a)
10
>>> b = 0o13
>>> c = 0o78
File "<python-input-41-27fbe2fd265f>", line 1
c = 0o78
^
SyntaxError : invalid syntax
Answer

Due to the prefix 0o, the number is treated as an octal number by Python
but digit 8 is invalid in Octal number system hence we are getting this
error.

Question 15

Predict the output

a, b, c = 2, 3, 4
a, b, c = a*a, a*b, a*c
print(a, b, c)
Output

468
Explanation

1. a, b, c = 2, 3, 4 ⇒ assigns initial value of 2 to a, 3 to b and 4 to c.

2. a, b, c = a*a, a*b, a*c
⇒ a, b, c = 2*2, 2*3, 2*4
⇒ a, b, c = 4, 6, 8
3. print(a, b, c) ⇒ prints values of a, b, c as 4, 6 and 8 respectively.

Question 16

The id( ) can be used to get the memory address of a variable. Consider the
adjacent code and tell if the id( ) functions will return the same value or
not(as the value to be printed via print() ) ? Why ?
[There are four print() function statements that are printing id of variable
num in the code shown on the right.

num = 13
print( id(num) )
num = num + 3
print( id(num) )
num = num - 3
print( id(num) )
num = "Hello"
print( id(num) )
Answer

num = 13
print( id(num) ) # print 1
num = num + 3
print( id(num) ) # print 2
num = num - 3
print( id(num) ) # print 3
num = "Hello"
print( id(num) ) # print 4
For the print statements commented as print 1 and print 3 above, the id()
function will return the same value. For print 2 and print 4, the value
returned by id() function will be different.

The reason is that for both print 1 and print 3 statements the value of num
is the same which is 13. So id(num) gives the address of the memory
location which contains 13 in the front-loaded dataspace.

Question 17

Consider below given two sets of codes, which are nearly identical, along
with their execution in Python shell. Notice that first code-fragment after
taking input gives error, while second code-fragment does not produce
error. Can you tell why ?
(a)

>>> print(num = float(input("value1:")) )

value1:67

TypeError: 'num' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

(b)

>>> print(float(input("valuel:")) )
value1:67

67.0
Answer

In part a, the value entered by the user is converted to a float type and
passed to the print function by assigning it to a variable named num. It
means that we are passing an argument named num to the print function.
But print function doesn't accept any argument named num. Hence, we get
this error telling us that num is an invalid argument for print function.

In part b, we are converting the value entered by the user to a float type
and directly passing it to the print function. Hence, it works correctly and
the value gets printed.

Question 18

Predict the output of the following code :

days = int (input ("Input days : ")) * 3600 * 24

hours = int(input("Input hours: ")) * 3600
minutes = int(input("Input minutes: ")) * 60
seconds = int(input("Input seconds: "))
time = days + hours + minutes + seconds
print("Total number of seconds", time)
If the input given is in this order : 1, 2, 3, 4

Output

Input days : 1
Input hours: 2
Input minutes: 3
Input seconds: 4
Total number of seconds 93784

Question 19

What will the following code result into ?

n1, n2 = 5, 7
n3 = n1 + n2
n4 = n4 + 2
print(n1, n2, n3, n4)
Answer

The code will result into an error as in the statement n4 = n4 + 2, variable

n4 is undefined.
Question 20

Correct the following program so that it displays 33 when 30 is input.

val = input("Enter a value")

nval = val + 30
print(nval)
Answer

Below is the corrected program:

val = int(input("Enter a value")) #used int() to convert input value into

integer
nval = val + 3 #changed 30 to 3
print(nval)
Type C : Programming Practice

Question 1

Write a program that displays a joke. But display the punchline only when
the user presses enter key.
(Hint. You may use input( ))

Solution

print("Why is 6 afraid of 7?")

input("Press Enter")
print("Because 7 8(ate) 9 :-)")

Output

Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Press Enter
Because 7 8(ate) 9 :-)

Question 2

Write a program to read today's date (only del part) from user. Then display
how many days are left in the current month.

Solution

day = int(input("Enter day part of today's date: "))

totalDays = int(input("Enter total number of days in this month: "))
daysLeft = totalDays - day
print(daysLeft, "days are left in current month")

Output

Enter day part of today's date: 16

Enter total number of days in this month: 31
15 days are left in current month

Question 3
Write a program that generates the following output :
5
10
9
Assign value 5 to a variable using assignment operator (=) Multiply it with 2
to generate 10 and subtract 1 to generate 9.

Solution

a=5
print(a)
a=a*2
print(a)
a=a-1
print(a)

Output

5
10
9

Question 4

Modify above program so as to print output as 5@10@9.

Solution

a=5
