Ans. Syntax error : An error of language resulting from code that does not conform to the
syntax of the programming language.

Example
a=0

a=a+1
print(a)

Runtime error : A runtime error is an error that causes abnormal termination of program during
running time.

Example
A=10
B= int(input("Value:"))
print(A/B)

# If B entered by user is 0, it will be run-time error

Q28. Differentiate between round( ) and floor( ) functions with the help of suitable example.
2016 AI Comptt. [1]
Ans.
round( ):
Syntax:
round(<number>,[<ndigits>])

5
>>>round(5.555682,3)
5.556

Q30. What is the use of split method while using it with String in Python? Give a suitable
example to illustrate its use. 2015 AI Comptt. [2]

Ans. The split( ) method breaks up a string at the specified separator & returns a list of
substrings.
Syntax:
str.split([separator[,maxsplit]])
The split( ) method takes maximum of two parameters:
 separator(optional)- The separator is a delimeter. The string splits at the specified
separator. If the separator is not specified, any white space(space,newline,etc.)string is a
separator.
 maxsplit(optional)- The maxsplit defines maximum number of splits. The default value
of maxsplit is -1, which means no limit on the number of splits. If an integer value ‘n’ is
given for the second argument, the string is split into ‘n+1’ strings.
Example:
>>> x=ʹblue; red; greenʹ
>>> x.split(ʺ ; ʺ)
[ʹblueʹ, ʹredʹ, ʹgreenʹ]
>>> text=ʹAPS CT DDunʹ
>>> print(text.split( ))
[ʹAPSʹ, ʹCTʹ , ʹDDunʹ]
Here, separator is not specified, by default, space is a string separator.
>>> colour=ʹRedʹ:ʹBlueʹ:ʹOrangeʹ:ʹPinkʹ
>>> print(colour.split(ʹ:ʹ,2))
[ʹRedʹ, ʹBlueʹ, ʹOrange:Pinkʹ]

Q31. Explain the following methods with respect to lists in python. 2015 AI Comptt. [1]
(i) remove
(ii) reverse

Ans.
(i) remove( ): It is used when we know the element to be deleted not the index of the element.
The remove( ) method removes the first occurrence of given item from the list.
Syntax:
List.remove(value)
The remove( ) will report an error if there is no item in the list.
Example:
>>>L1=[10,20,30,20,50]
>>>L1.remove(20)
>>>print(L1)
[10,30,20,50]

(ii) reverse( ): It reverses the elements of the list in place. It does not create a new list.
Syntax:
List.reverse( )

Page
10
>>> L1=[1,2,3,4]
>>> L1.reverse( )
>>> print(L1)
[4,3,2,1]
