Chapter 10 – Python

Each question is based on core Python concepts from Chapter 10: Introduction to Python.

1. 1. Why does Python give an error when we write: print('Hello)

Answer: Because the closing quote is missing. Python expects both opening and closing quotes for string values.

2. 2. What will be the result of: print(4 * '2')

Answer: 2222. Python repeats the string '2' four times using string multiplication.

3. 3. What is wrong in: name = input('Name') print(name)

Answer: Both statements are on the same line without a separator. Use a newline or a semicolon.

4. 4. Why is 5 + '3' invalid in Python?

Answer: You can't add a number and a string directly. Python needs both values to be of the same type.

5. 5. What is the type of value returned by input()?

Answer: String. Python returns everything from input() as text.

6. 6. Why does Python treat 'Data' and 'data' as different variables?

Answer: Because Python is case-sensitive. Uppercase and lowercase are treated as different.

7. 7. Why does print('Hello\nWorld') give output on two lines?

Answer: '\n' is a newline character that breaks the line.

8. 8. Why is '3' * 2 valid but 'three' * '2' is not?

Answer: You can multiply a string by an integer, but not by another string.

9. 9. What is the result of: print(9 % 2)?

Answer: 1. It's the remainder when 9 is divided by 2.

10. 10. Why is it better to use input() instead of hardcoding values?

Answer: It allows flexibility. Users can provide their own data.

11. 11. What will be the result of: print('5' + '3')?

Answer: 53. Because both are strings, so Python joins them.

12. 12. Why is 2value an invalid variable name?

Answer: Variable names cannot start with a number.

13. 13. What does the // operator do in Python?

14. 14. Predict the output: print(2 ** 3)

Answer: 8. This is exponentiation: 2 raised to the power of 3.

15. 15. What is the use of the print() function?

Answer: To display output on the screen.

16. 16. Why does print('Hello', end='!') print without newline?

Answer: 'end' changes the default ending character from newline to '!'.

17. 17. Predict output: print('A' * 3)

Answer: AAA. String 'A' repeated 3 times.

18. 18. What does len('Python') return?

Answer: 6. It counts all characters in the string.

19. 19. Why is print('My age is ' + 10) incorrect?

Answer: Because 10 is an integer. You must convert it to a string.

20. 20. Predict: print(int('5') + 5)

Answer: 10. '5' is converted to int and added.

21. 21. What happens if you use incorrect indentation in Python?

Answer: IndentationError. Python uses indentation to define blocks.

22. 22. Why should you use meaningful variable names?

Answer: To make your code easy to understand.

23. 23. What is the result of print('3' + str(4))?

Answer: 34. 4 is converted to string and concatenated.

24. 24. Why is print('It’s okay') an error?

Answer: Because the apostrophe ends the string early. Use double quotes or escape it.

25. 25. Predict: a = 3; b = 2; print(a % b)

Answer: 1. Remainder of 3 divided by 2.

26. 26. Why does print(10 / 2) return 5.0?

Answer: Because '/' returns a float even if the division is exact.

27. 27. What is the result of: print('3' * 4)?

Answer: 3333. String '3' repeated 4 times.

Answer: It lets users interact with your program.

29. 29. What is the role of type() in Python?

Answer: It shows the data type of a variable or value.

30. 30. Predict: print(bool(''))

Answer: False. An empty string is considered False.

31. 31. Why is print(Hello) an error?

Answer: Hello is not in quotes. Python treats it as a variable.

32. 32. What will print('3' + '3') output?

Answer: 33. Strings are concatenated.

33. 33. Why is print('3' - '2') an error?

Answer: You cannot subtract strings.

34. 34. What is the result of: print(9 // 2)?

Answer: 4. Floor division removes the decimal.

35. 35. Why is using variables better than hardcoding?

Answer: You can reuse and update values without changing the code everywhere.

36. 36. What does print('Python\tRocks') output?

Answer: 'Python Rocks'. '\t' adds a tab space.

37. 37. Predict: print('Hello\nWorld')

Answer: Hello
World – printed on two lines.

38. 38. Why does int('ten') give an error?

Answer: 'ten' is not a number, so it can’t be converted to int.

39. 39. Predict output: print(4 * 2 + 1)

Answer: 9. Because multiplication happens before addition.

40. 40. What does print(type(3.5)) return?

Answer: <class 'float'>. 3.5 is a float.

41. 41. Why does '5' + 5 cause an error?

Answer: Cannot add string and integer directly.

Answer: Converts all characters to uppercase.

43. 43. Predict: print(5 == 5)

Answer: True. Because both values are equal.

44. 44. What is the result of print(bool(0))?

Answer: False. 0 is considered False in Python.

45. 45. Why use comments in code?

Answer: To explain what the code does, helpful for others or your future self.

46. 46. Why is name=input() more useful than name='Priya'?

Answer: It allows users to input their name instead of fixing it.

47. 47. Predict: print('A' * 0)

Answer: An empty string. Repeating 0 times gives nothing.

48. 48. What is the output of: print(2 + 3 * 4)?

Answer: 14. Multiplication is done before addition.

49. 49. What does print('Priya'.lower()) return?

Answer: priya. Converts all characters to lowercase.

50. 50. Why should variable names be meaningful?

Answer: It makes the code easier to understand and maintain.
