Python Coding Questions – Part 1

INSTRUCTIONS
• Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate
• Use only conditional and loop structures to develop logical programming skills.
Avoid using data structures like arrays.
• Do not use standard functions, except for basic input and output statements.
• Avoid copying from others or referring to AI tools. The goal is to build your
programming skills. Avoid solving through group-discussions.
• If you are not able to find an answer, it is ok leave that question or get it
partially completed.
• Each program may be structured like a function with a wrapper code that takes an
input (e.g., 3) and executes the corresponding code for question #3.
• Once all questions are attempted, copy all the code into a PDF file, email to
[email protected] with subject line “Python Coding Questions – Part 1”
• There is no deadline for submission due to your exam schedule. However, those who
submit early will receive Part 2 questions to solve.
• We hope you enjoy solving these questions. All the Best.
