1. discuss the concept of variables and data types in python.

how are variables


declared and assigned values? illustrate example?

Answer : Variables and Data Types in Python

1. Variables in Python

A variable is a name that refers to a value stored in memory. Variables are used to store data that
your program can manipulate.

 In Python, variables are dynamically typed, which means you don’t need to declare the
type of a variable explicitly.
 Python automatically determines the type of the variable based on the value assigned to
it.

Variable Declaration and Assignment

Variables are declared by assigning a value using the = operator.

x = 10 Integer

name = Alice String

i = 3.14 float

x= 2.8 double

with example

addition of two number

a=10

b=20

c=a+b

print(c)

2. explain for and while loop with example

Answer: Loops in Python: for and while

Loops allow you to execute a block of code multiple times. Python provides two main types of
loops: for and while.
🔁 1. for Loop
The for loop is used to iterate over a sequence like a list, string, or range.

Example 1: Loop through a list

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]


for fruit in fruits:
print(fruit)

Example 2: Using range()

for i in range(5): # 0 to 4
print(i)

2. while Loop

The while loop repeats as long as a condition is True

Example 1: Count to 5

count = 1
while count <= 5:
print(count)
count += 1

3. how do you call a function in phyton and pass argument to it?


explain with example
Answer: Calling a Function and Passing Arguments in Python

In Python, functions are used to group reusable blocks of code.

Calling a Function:

You call a function by writing its name followed by parentheses and passing values (called
arguments) inside the parentheses.

Example 1: Function with Parameters


Def add ():
a=eval;(input(“enter a number”))
b=eval;(input(“enter a number”))
c=a+b
print(c)

Example 2: Function with Multiple Parameters


def add_numbers(a, b):
c = a + b
print("Sum:", c)
add_numbers(5, 3)
add_numbers(10, 20)

Example 3: Function with Return Value


Deff (a,b)
C=a+b
Return
X=eval(input(“enter a number”))
Y=eval(input(“enter a number”))
Z=add(x,y)
Pprint(z)

4. how do you call a function in python and pass arguments to ithow


do you call a function in python and pass arguments to it? explain
with example

Answer What is a function?

A function is a block of code that performs a task. You define it once, and then you can call it
whenever you want.

Step-by-step:
Step 1: Define the function

You define it using the def keyword.

def say_hello(name):

print("Hello", name)

Here:

 say_hello is the function name.


 name is aarameter (a placeholder for the value you pass in)

Step 2: Call the function and pass an argument

 "Alice" is the argument you're passing to the function.

 Inside the function, name will now be


Full Example:
python
CopyEdit
def say_hello(name):
print("Hello", name)

Another Example: Function with Two Arguments

def add_numbers(a, b):

result = a + b

print("The sum is:", result

add_numbers(3, 5)

Another Example: Function with Two Arguments

def add_numbers(a, b):

result = a + b

print("The sum is:", result)

5. explain the process of creating a dictionary in python . how are


key-value pairs used to store data in a dictionary

Answer: A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. It’s used to


store data where each value is accessed using a key, not an index
(like in a list).

How to Create a Dictionary


🔹 Example 1: Basic Dictionary
python
CopyEdit
student = {
"name": "Alice",
"age": 20,
"grade": "A"
}

 "name", "age", and "grade" are keys


 "Alice", 20, and "A" are the values
Accessing Values Using Keys
python
print(student["name"])
print(student["age"])

You use the key inside square brackets [] to get the value.

Adding or Updating Key-Value Pairs


python

student["age"] = 21
student["subject"] = "Math"

print(student)
Output:
python
{'name': 'Alice', 'age': 21, 'grade': 'A', 'subject': 'Math'}

You cannot have two identical keys in a dictionary. The last one will overwrite the previous
one.

python

data = {
"id": 1,
"id": 2
}
print(data["id"])

6.demonstrate the concept of tuple in python . how are tuples similar


to and different from lists?

Answer What is a Tuple in Python?

A tuple is a collection of ordered, immutable items. This means:

 The order of items matters.


 You cannot change (modify, add, or remove) items once the tuple is created.
Example 1:
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
print(my_tuple)

Example 2: Tuple with Different Data Types

person = ("Alice", 25, "Engineer")


print(person)
