intelligently.
3. No additional sheet will be provided for rough work. Use the back of the last page for
rough work.
4. If you need more space write on the back side of the paper and clearly mark question
and part number etc.
5. After asked to commence the exam, please verify that you have eight (8) different
printed pages including this title page. There are total of 4 questions.

Q. No. 8.1: Please read the questions carefully and do look

for both syntax as well semantics errors.
30
(a) What is the output of the following C++ code?

int main() Output:

{

float j = 9;
float k=10;
float l= j/k *(2/4)+ 30%4; 5
int m=l + 32.0/3.0+6;
int c, d=0;
d= c + d+1 ;
cout << m <<" "<<l<<endl;
cout << c <<" "<<d<<endl;

(b) What is the output of the following python code?

Output:
def funA(str):
print ' Hello ' + str,
return str
print 'Students '

def funB(a):
print 'Hello',
c=funA(a) 5
return c + ' Students '
print c

a='xyz'
str='ITC'
z=funB(str)
print z

(c) What is the output of the following code?

Output:
int main()
{
int x=-20;
while(x)
5
{
int j=0;
while(++j < 4);
cout<<" Hello "<<endl;
if(j==4);
else
cout<<" OK ";
x+=10;
}
}

(d) What is the output of the following code?

int i=-5,j=0; Output:

for(i; i ;)
{
j=0; 5
for (j; j < 5; ++j);
cout<< " * ";
cout<<endl;
i++;
}

(e) What is the output of the following code?

int i=-5,j=0; Output:

5
for(i; i ;)
{
j=0;
for (j=0; j < 5; ++j)
cout<< " * ";
cout<<endl;
i++;
}

(f) What is the output of the following code?

int i=1,j=1,k=1; Output:

while (i <= 2) { 5
j=1;
while (j <= 3) {
k=2;
while(k <= 4)
{
cout<<("*");
k++;
}

cout<<("!");
j++;
}
cout<<endl;
i++;
}

Q. No. 2
20
a) Write a Python function named minGap that accepts an integer list as a
parameter and returns the minimum 'gap' between adjacent values in the list. The gap
between two adjacent values in a list is defined as the second value minus the first value.

For example, suppose a variable called train is a list of integers that stores the following
sequence of values:
10
train = [1, 3, 6, 7, 12]

The first gap is 2 (3 - 1), the second gap is 3 (6 - 3), the third gap is 1 (7 - 6) and the fourth
gap is 5 (12 - 7). Thus, the call of minGap(train) should return 1 because that is the
smallest gap in the array. If you are passed a list with fewer than 2 elements, you should
return -1.

Q. No. 3

Write a C++ program that accepts two integer inputs rows and cols and 15
outputs a comma separated grid of numbers where the first input (rows)
represents the number of rows of the grid and the second input (cols)
represents the number of columns. The numbers count up from 1 to (rows X cols).

Input: Rows=3, Cols=6 Rows=5, Cols=3 Rows=4, Cols=1 Rows=1, Cols=3

Q. No. 4

Suppose you are given two strings (they may be empty), s1 and s2. You 10
would like to "lace" these strings together, by successively alternating
elements of each string (starting with the first character of s1). If one string is
longer than the other, then the remaining elements of the longer string should simply be
added at the end of the new string. For example, if we lace 'abcd' and 'efghi', we would
get the new string: 'aebfcgdhi'

def laceStrings(s1, s2):

"""
s1 and s2 are strings.

Returns a new str with elements of s1 and s2 interlaced,

beginning with s1. If strings are not of same length,
then the extra elements should appear at the end.
Draw a Smiley on the top of front page to gain two bonus
marks
