Assignments for the contents covered

1. Python Basics

 Assignment 1: Introduction to Python, Variables and Data Types


o Explain the purpose of the print statement in Python and its syntax.
o Declare variables of different data types ( int, float, str, bool) and print their values.
o Discuss the difference between mutable and immutable types in Python.
o Create a program that converts an integer to a float and a float to an integer,
demonstrating type casting. Discuss what happens when you try to cast incompatible
data types (e.g., a string that cannot be converted to an integer).
 Assignment 2: Basic Arithmetic Operations
o Write a program that takes two numbers as input and performs addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.
o Explain the difference between // (integer division) and / (float division) in Python.

2. Control Statements (Conditionals and Loops)

 Assignment 3: If-Else Statements


o Discuss how the if-else and elif structures work for decision-making in Python.
o Explain how nesting of if-else statements can help handle multiple conditions.
 Assignment 4: While Loop, For Loop
o Discuss how while loops work, and explain the significance of the looping condition.
o Write a program that prints all even numbers between 1 and 20 using a for loop.
o Explain how for loops work with a sequence, such as a range or a list.
o Discuss Break, Continue, and Pass and their use in programming.
o Write a Python program that takes a number as input and checks whether it is even or
odd using nested conditions.
o Modify the program to print all even numbers up to the input number using a loop and
skip the number 4 using continue.
