Python Programming and Data Structures

Question 1: Discuss in detail control structures in Python and their types.

Question 2: Explain the concept of short-circuit evaluation in Python control structures.


Write a Python function that demonstrates short-circuiting with both and and or operators
in a nested if-else structure. Discuss how this impacts program efficiency with an example.
Provide a screenshot of the output.

Question 3: Design and draw a flowchart for a program that determines if a given year is
a leap year using nested conditions. Then, implement this logic in Python using a
combination of if-elif-else and nested if statements. Test your code with the years 2024,
2025, and 1900, and attach screenshots of the output.

Question 4: The Python interpreter has strict rules for variable names. Which of the
following are legal Python names? If the name is not legal, state the reason.
1. and
2. _and
3. var
4. var1
5. 1var
6. my-name
7. your_name
8. your name

Question 4: Write down the type of the values stored in each of the variables below.
Attach Shell Screenshots.

1. x = False
2. y = 3.7
3. z = ‘Alex’

4. xx = 7
5. yy = ‘True’
6. zz = 17

Question 5: The modulo operator (%) in Python can behave unexpectedly with negative
numbers and floating-point values. Write a Python function that:

Takes two inputs: a dividend and a divisor (both can be positive/negative integers or
floats).
Computes the modulo result and explains (via comments) why Python’s result might differ
from mathematical expectations.
Tests the function with the following pairs: (-10, 3), (10, -3), (-10, -3), (5.7, 2).

Question 6: Write a Python program that performs the following:

1. Takes a list of mixed data types (e.g., [5, "hello", 3.14, True, -9]) as input.
2. Uses a loop and control structures to categorize each element into separate lists
based on its type (int, float, str, bool).
3. Handles potential type errors gracefully using try-except.
4. Prints the categorized lists and their lengths.
