7. Differentiate between Positional Positional arguments are arguments that can be
Argument and Default Argument of called by their position in the function
function in python with suitable definition.
example Python allows function arguments to have
default values; if the function is called without
the argument, the argument gets its default
value.
def function(a, b, c):
print(a,b,c)
A positional argument is passed to the function
in this way.

function(1,2,3)
will print
123

def function(a, b, c=3):

print(a,b,c)

function(1,2)
will print
123
8. What is the meaning of return value The Python return statement is a special
of a function? Give an example to statement that you can use inside a function or
illustrate its meaning. method to send the function's result back to the
caller. A return statement consists of the return
keyword followed by an optional return value.
def calc_sum(a,b):
return a+b
sum_val=calc_sum(2,3)
 print(sum_val)

This program will print:

5

9. Deferentiate between parameters A parameter is the variable listed inside the

and arguments in Python. Mention a parentheses in the function definition. An
suitable example argument is the value that are sent to the
function when it is called.
def calc_sum(a,b):
return a+b
sum_val=calc_sum(2,3)
print(sum_val)

Here calc_sum(a,b) -> a and b are parameters

calc_sum(2,3) -> 2 and 3 are arguments
10. Mention the output: Hello
def print_hello(): Hello
print("Hello")
print_hello()
print_hello()
11. Differentiate between Global and Local variables can be accessed only inside the
Local variable with a suitable example function in which they are declared, whereas
global variables can be accessed throughout the
program body by all functions
x=10
def local_chk():
y=5
Here x is global variable and y is local variable.

12. Write a function check_pos_neg(num) def check_pos_neg(num):
which takes a number from the user if num==0:
and prints whether the number is print("The number is Zero")
Zero or positive or negative elif num <0:
print("The number is Negative")
else:
print("The number is Positive")
num=int(input("Enter a number:"))
check_pos_neg(num)
13. Write a function even_odd(num) def even_odd(num):
which takes a number and checks if num%2==0:
whether the number is even or odd print("Number is even")
else:
print("Number is odd")
num=int(input("Enter the Number:"))
even_odd(num)
14. Write a function compute_len(strinp) def compute_len(strinp):
which takes a string and returns the return len(strinp)
 length of the string str_a=input("Enter the String:")
compute_len(str_a)
15. Write a function comp_sum(lista) def comp_sum(lista):
which takes a list of integers and total=0
return the sum for i in lista:
total+=i
return total
listinp=eval(input("Enter list:"))
print(comp_sum(listinp))
