Python Programming Questions and Answers

1. Explain the importance of Python programming and its key features.

Python is a versatile, high-level programming language known for its simplicity and readability.

Key features of Python include:

- Easy to learn and use with a clean syntax.

- Extensive standard library and support for third-party libraries.

- Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux).

- Supports multiple programming paradigms like procedural, object-oriented, and functional

programming.

- Widely used for web development, data analysis, machine learning, automation, and more.

2. What are data variables in Python? Explain the rules for variable declaration and provide

examples of different data types.

In Python, variables are containers for storing data values.

Rules for variable declaration:

- Must start with a letter or an underscore (_).

- Cannot start with a number.

- Can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores.

- Case-sensitive (e.g., 'Name' and 'name' are different variables).

Examples of data types:

- Integer: x = 10

- Float: y = 3.14

- String: name = 'Alice'

- Boolean: is_active = True

- List: numbers = [1, 2, 3]


- Tuple: coords = (10, 20)

- Dictionary: person = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

3. Discuss the different types of operators in Python with examples.

Operators in Python:

- Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, / (e.g., 5 + 3 = 8)

- Comparison Operators: ==, !=, >, < (e.g., 5 > 3 is True)

- Logical Operators: and, or, not (e.g., True and False = False)

- Assignment Operators: =, +=, -= (e.g., x += 5)

- Bitwise Operators: &, |, ^ (e.g., 5 & 3 = 1)

- Membership Operators: in, not in (e.g., 'a' in 'apple' = True)

- Identity Operators: is, is not (e.g., x is y)

4. Write and explain a simple Python program that includes input, processing, and output.

Program Example:

```

# Input

name = input('Enter your name: ')

# Processing

greeting = f'Hello, {name}!'

# Output

print(greeting)

```

Explanation:

- The input() function takes user input.

- The string is processed to create a greeting message using f-string formatting.

- The print() function displays the greeting to the user.


5. Describe the characteristics and differences between Python data structures like strings,

lists, sets, tuples, and dictionaries. Provide examples of each.

Characteristics and Examples:

- String: Immutable sequence of characters (e.g., 'hello').

- List: Mutable, ordered collection (e.g., [1, 2, 3]).

- Tuple: Immutable, ordered collection (e.g., (1, 2, 3)).

- Set: Unordered collection of unique elements (e.g., {1, 2, 3}).

- Dictionary: Key-value pairs, mutable (e.g., {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}).

Differences:

- Strings and tuples are immutable, while lists and dictionaries are mutable.

- Sets are unordered and do not allow duplicate elements.

- Dictionaries store data in key-value pairs for quick lookups.
