9 In C, explain strtok function with an example. 3 2 4 4
The strtok in c is a library function which breaks the given string into a series of tokens using the
delimiter passed as a parameter. Like if there is a string with multiple words separated by comma
then we can use this function strtok in c with comma(,) as a delimiter to split this string based on
comma.
char *strtok(char *string, const char *delimiter)

11 How will you create an empty Data Frame in pandas? 5 2 2 4
To create an empty dataframe by importing pandas from the python library. Later, using the
pd.DataFrame(), create an empty dataframe without rows and columns as shown in the below
example. Note that the DataFrame() class available in the pandas library is similar to the
constructor which is used to construct the class.
df = pd.DataFrame()

12 Explain the string functions with its syntax :Strlen( ), Strcat ( ), Strcmp( ), Strrev( ), Strcpy( ) 3 1 2 10
b. Strlen( ) (Explanation and any one syntax 2 marks)
The strlen() function takes a string as an argument and returns its length. The returned value is of
type size_t (an unsigned integer type).
Syntax :
n=strlen(str);
length = strlen(str);
length = strlen("pritesh");
char *str = "pritesh";
Strcat ( ) (Explanation and any one syntax 2 marks)
Function takes 2 Strings / Character Array as Parameter
Appends second string at the end of First String. Parameter Taken - 2 Character Arrays /
Strings Return Type - Character Array / String
Syntax :
char* strcat ( char * s1, char * s2);
Strcmp( ) (Explanation and any one syntax 2 marks)
Function takes two Strings as parameter.
It returns integer .
Syntax :
int strcmp ( char *s1, char *s2 ) ;
Strrev( ) (Explanation and any one syntax 2 marks)
reverses a given string in C language. Syntax for strrev( ) function is
given below.
char *strrev(char *string);
strrev() function is nonstandard function which may not available in
standard library in C.
Strcpy( ) (Explanation and any one syntax 2 marks)
Function takes two Strings as parameter.
Header File : String.h
It returns string.
Purpose : Copies String2 into String1.
Original contents of String1 will be lost.
Original contents of String2 will remains as it is.
Syntax :
char * strcpy ( char *string1, char *string2 ) ;

13 Explain the basic Tuple operations with examples. (Explanation 5 marks, 4 1 2 10

b. Examples 5 marks)
Tuple is an immutable (unchangeable) collection of elements of different data types. It is an
ordered collection, so it preserves the order of elements in which they were defined.

Tuples are defined by enclosing elements in parentheses (), separated by a comma. The
following declares a tuple type variable.
tpl=() # empty tuple
print(tpl) #output: ()

names = ('Jeff', 'Bill', 'Steve', 'Yash') # string tuple

print(names) #output:('Jeff', 'Bill', 'Steve', 'Yash')

nums = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) # int tuple

print(nums) #output:(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

employee=(1, 'Steve', True, 25, 12000) # heterogeneous data tuple

print(employee) #output:(1, 'Steve', True, 25, 12000)

Numpy for creating an array
import numpy as np #To import numpy
data1 = [6, 7.5, 8, 0, 1] #To define the data
arr1 = np.array(data1) #To store the data in array
print(arr1) #To print the data stored
[6. 7.5 8. 0. 1. ]
print(arr1.dtype) #To print the data type of the data
float64
print(arr1.shape) #To print the number of elements in the rows and columns (row, Column)
(5,)
print(arr1.ndim) #To print the dimension of the array
1
print (arr*arr) #To multiply the two arrays
[1. 4. 9.]
print (arr-arr) #To divide the two arrays
[0. 0. 0.]
print (1/arr) #To inverse the array
[1. 0.5 0.33333333]
print (arr**0.5) #To the exponential of the array

14 Describe the following basic operation which can be performed on Pandas 5 1 2 10
b. DataFrame with example
i) Creating a DataFrame 5 marks
A Pandas DataFrame is a 2 dimensional data structure, like a 2
dimensional array, or a table with rows and columns.
Example
Create a simple Pandas DataFrame:
import pandas as pd
data = {
"calories": [420, 380, 390],
"duration": [50, 40, 45]
}
#load data into a DataFrame object:
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print(df)
ii) Iterating over rows and columns 5 marks
Iteration is a general term for taking each item of something, one
after another. Pandas DataFrame consists of rows and columns so, in
order to iterate over dataframe, we have to iterate a dataframe like a
dictionary. In a dictionary, we iterate over the keys of the object in
the same way we have to iterate in dataframe.
In this article, we are using “nba.csv” file to download the CSV,
In Pandas Dataframe we can iterate an element in two ways:

Iterating over rows

Iterating over columns
