Worksheet Getting started with Python, Flow of Control and Strings

1 What is the difference between else and elif construct of if statement?

Ans. ‘Else’ is used along with ‘if’ to define the alternative path if the condition mentioned in the
‘if’ statement is incorrect. This means that only one statement can be evaluated using
if..else statement.

If more than one statement needs to be evaluated, ‘elif’ construct is used. There is no limit
on the number of ‘elif’ construct which should be used in a statement. However, the
conditions mentioned in each ‘elif’ construct should be mutually exclusive i.e. if one of the
conditions in if..elif is correct it should imply that all the other conditions are false.

2 What is the purpose of range() function? Give one example.

Ans. The range() function is a built-in function of Python. It is used to create a list containing a
sequence of integers from the given start value to stop value (excluding stop value). This is
often used in for loop for generating the sequence of numbers.

Examples:

Program Output:

3 Differentiate between break and continue statements using examples.

Ans. Break Continue

The 'break' statement alters the normal When a 'continue' statement is
flow of execution as it terminates the encountered, the control skips the
current loop and resumes execution of execution of remaining statements
the statement following that loop. inside the body of the loop for the
current iteration and jumps to the
beginning of the loop for the next

Page 1 of 42
 iteration. If the loop’s condition is still
true, the loop is entered again, else the
control is transferred to the statement
immediately following the loop.
Example:

4. What is an infinite loop? Give one example.

Ans. The statement within the body of a loop must ensure that the test condition for the loop
eventually becomes false, otherwise, the loop will run infinitely. Hence, the loop which
doesn’t end is called an infinite loop. This leads to a logical error in the program.

The above statement will create an infinite loop as the value of ‘num’ initially is 20 and each
subsequent loop is increasing the value of num by 1, thus making the test condition num >
10 always true.

message whether the user is eligible to apply for a driving license or not. (the eligible
age is 18 years).

Ans.

5 Write a program to generate the sequence: –5, 10,–15, 20, –25..... upto n, where n is an
integer input by the user.
Ans. Solution: The given sequence is: –5, 10, –15, 20, –20 The numbers in the sequence are
multiples of 5 and each number at the odd place is negative, while the number at even
place is positive. The series can be generated by checking each index for odd-even and if it
is odd, it will be multiplied by '-1'.

● Write a program to input a number and determine whether it is a perfect number, an

Armstrong number or a palindrome.

# Check Perfect Number (A perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the
sum of its proper divisors, excluding itself. The number 28 is a perfect number.
• Its divisors (excluding itself):
→ 1, 2, 4, 7, 14

→ 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28
So, 28 is a perfect number.

# Check Armstrong Number: An Armstrong number (also known as a narcissistic
number, pluperfect number, or pluperfect digital invariant) is a number that is equal to
the sum of its own digits each raised to the power of the number of digits.
Example (3-digit number): 153
• Number of digits = 3

ASSERTION and REASONING based questions.

Q1
Assertion (A): The if statement in Python can be used without an else or elif.
Reason (R): The else and elif clauses are mandatory in an if statement.
Answer:
• A is True, R is False
• Explanation: The if statement can be used alone. else and elif are optional.

Page 19 of 42
Q2
Assertion (A): The while loop continues until the condition becomes false.
Reason (R): while is used when the number of iterations is not known in advance.
Answer:
• A is True, R is True, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Q3
Assertion (A): The break statement can be used to exit from both for and while loops.
Reason (R): The break statement skips the current iteration and continues with the
next one.
Answer:
• A is True, R is False
• Explanation: break exits the entire loop, while continue skips the current
iteration.

Q4
Assertion (A): The range(5) generates numbers from 0 to 5.
Reason (R): The range() function includes the stop value.
Answer:
• A is False, R is False
• Explanation: range(5) generates values from 0 to 4, excluding the stop value.

Q5
Assertion (A): An else block can be used with both if and while loops in Python.
Reason (R): In Python, else after a loop executes if the loop completes without a
break.
Answer:
• A is True, R is True, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Q6
Assertion (A): The continue statement terminates the loop immediately.
Reason (R): continue skips the rest of the current loop iteration and jumps to the next
one.
Answer:
• A is False, R is True
• Explanation: continue doesn't terminate the loop; it skips to the next iteration.

Q7
Assertion (A): if-elif-else ladder is used when multiple conditions need to be checked.
Reason (R): Only the first true condition in the ladder is executed.
Answer:
• A is True, R is True, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Page 20 of 42
Q8
Assertion (A): Python does not support the switch statement.
Reason (R): Python uses if-elif-else as an alternative to switch.
Answer:
• A is True, R is True, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Q9
Assertion (A): A while loop always executes at least once.
Reason (R): In Python, the condition of the while loop is checked after executing the
loop body.
Answer:
• A is False, R is False
• Explanation: A while loop may not execute at all if the condition is false initially.

Q10
Assertion (A): Indentation is crucial in Python’s flow control structures.
Reason (R): Indentation defines the block of code to be executed under each
condition.
Answer:
• A is True, R is True, and R is the correct explanation of A.
