Chapter 3: Charming the python

MCQ

### **1. Incorrect print statement syntax**

The given statement:

```python

Print(“The total number of geals scored by captain sunil Chhetri 14, 235)

```

Has a **syntax error** (missing closing quotation mark). Assuming the intended statement
was:

```python

Print(“The total number of goals scored by captain Sunil Chhetri is”, 235)

```

The output would be:

```

The total number of goals scored by captain Sunil Chhetri is 235

```

#### **Answer:** **(b) The total number of goals scored by captain Sunil Chhetri is 235**

### **2. Incorrect variable reference**

The given code:

```python

Marks 35 # Syntax error, should be marks = 35

Print(“The total is “, “marks”)

```
Here, `”marks”` is treated as a string, **not a variable**. The correct way to use the
variable is:

```python

Print(“The total is”, marks)

```

If the incorrect code runs, the output will be:

```

The total is marks

```

#### **Answer:** **© The total is, marks**

### **3. Valid variable name**

- `@price` → **Invalid** (Cannot start with `@`)

- `799price` → **Invalid** (Cannot start with a number)

- `_price` → **Valid** (Can start with `_`)

- `latest price` → **Invalid** (Contains a space)

#### **Answer:** **(b) _price**

### **4. Data types used in the table**

Given table:

| **Variable Name** | **Value** |

|--------------------|----------------------|

| Player_name | Christiano Ronaldo | *(String)* |

| Country | Portugal | *(String)* |


| Matches_played | 1158 | *(Integer)* |

| Total_goals | 834 | *(Integer)* |

| Height_in_m | 1.89 | *(Float)* |

| Weight_in_kg | 84.9 | *(Float)* |

**Three data types are present:**

1. **String** → `”Christiano Ronaldo”`, `”Portugal”`

2. **Integer** → `1158`, `834`

3. **Float** → `1.89`, `84.9`

#### **Answer:** **© 3**

### **5. Incorrect input type handling**

Code:

```python

Test_1 = input(“Enter marks in 1st test:”)

Test_2 = input(“Enter marks in 2nd test:”)

Print(“Total marks in two tests”, Test_1 + Test_2)

```

- `input()` returns **strings**, so `”45” + “48”` results in `”4548”` (**string


concatenation**).

- To fix this, convert to integers:

```python

Test_1 = int(input(“Enter marks in 1st test:”))

Test_2 = int(input(“Enter marks in 2nd test:”))

Print(“Total marks in two tests”, Test_1 + Test_2)

```
This would output `93`, but **with the given incorrect code**, the output will be:

```

Total marks in two tests 4548

```

#### **Answer:** **© Total marks in two tests = 4548**

FILL IN THE BLANKS:

1. The rules of writing commands in a program are known as the syntax.


2. The input() function enables a user to enter data.
3. # is the first character for a single-line comment, and ''' (triple single quotes) or
""" (triple double quotes) are used to enclose the text for multiple-line comments.
4. The bool prefix is used to typecast a data type to Boolean.
5. A digit (0-9) cannot be the first character of a variable name.

DESCRIPTIVE QUESTIONS:
1. Write the output of the following programs:

a.

Print("Python is fun")

Error: Print should be lowercase (print). The correct version:

print("Python is fun")

Output:

Python is fun

b.

Print("5+3")

Since 5+3 is inside quotes, it is treated as a string.


Output:

5+3
c.

Print("5,3")

Inside quotes, 5,3 is treated as a string.


Output:

5,3

d.

Print("5/n3")

Here, \n represents a newline character.


Output:

5
3

2. Look at the following program:


Print("The total marks")
Print(360+400)

Since Print is incorrect (it should be print), this will cause an error.
If corrected, the output will be:

The total marks


760

Explanation:

• "The total marks" is printed as a string.


• 360+400 is a mathematical operation, so Python computes the sum and prints 760.

3. Program to take inputs for boys, girls, and teachers, then display total students and
teacher-student ratio
# Taking inputs
boys = int(input("Enter the number of boys: "))
girls = int(input("Enter the number of girls: "))
teachers = int(input("Enter the number of teachers: "))

# Calculating total students


total_students = boys + girls

# Calculating teachers per student


teachers_per_student = teachers / total_students

# Displaying results
print("Total number of students:", total_students)
print("Number of teachers per student:", teachers_per_student)

Sample Input and Output:

Enter the number of boys: 20


Enter the number of girls: 25
Enter the number of teachers: 5
Total number of students: 45
Number of teachers per student: 0.1111

4. Explanation of operators:

a. == (Equality Operator)

• Used to check if two values are equal.


• Example:
• print(5 == 5) # True
• print(5 == 3) # False

b. // (Floor Division Operator)

• Divides two numbers and returns the integer quotient, discarding the decimal part.
• Example:
• print(10 // 3) # Output: 3
• print(7 // 2) # Output: 3

c. % (Modulo Operator)

• Returns the remainder after division.


• Example:
• print(10 % 3) # Output: 1
• print(7 % 2) # Output: 1

5. Programs to explain:

a. String Concatenation

• Combining two or more strings using +.

str1 = "Hello"
str2 = "World"
result = str1 + " " + str2
print(result)
Output:

Hello World

b. Type Casting

• Converting one data type to another.

num_str = "123"
num_int = int(num_str) # Converts string to integer
num_float = float(num_str) # Converts string to float

print(num_int) # Output: 123


print(num_float) # Output: 123.0
