Q.
Question
No.
Define a function that calculates the factorial of a number and call it from the
main program.

Solution:

def factorial(n):
1. result = 1
for i in range(1, n + 1):
result *= i
return result

# Main Program
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
print("Factorial is:", factorial(num))

Write a function that takes a list of numbers as input and returns the sum of all
elements.

Solution:

2. def sum_of_elements(numbers):
total = 0
for num in numbers:
total += num
return total

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
result = sum_of_elements(my_list)
print("Sum:", result)
 Implement a lambda function to square a given number.

Solution:
3.
number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
square = lambda x: x**2
squared_number = square(number)
print(number, "-> Its square is:", squared_number)

Using python user defi ne function Write a program to print the even numbers
from a given list.

Solution:

def is_even_num(l):
4.
enum = []
for n in l:
if n % 2 == 0:
enum.append(n)
return enum

print("Even numbers:", is_even_num([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]))

Use the math module to calculate the area of a circle given its radius.
Solution:

5. import math

r = int(input("Enter the radius of the circle: "))

area_c = math.pi * r * r
print("Area of the circle:", area_c)

Write a Python function which calculates the area of a rectangle, explain how
default arguments function within the code. Specifically, illustrate what
happens when the function is called with only one argument and when it's
called with two arguments, referencing the output produced in each case.
Solution:

def calculate_area(length, width=5):

6. area = length * width
print(f"Area of rectangle: {area}")

# Only length provided → width defaults to 5

calculate_area(10) # Output: 50

# Both length and width provided

calculate_area(10, 8) # Output: 80
 📌 Explanation:
If one argument is missing, Python uses the default value defined (width=5). If both
are provided, it overrides the default.

Write a Python function which prints the provided name and course, illustrates
how keyword arguments are utilized in the subsequent function calls. Explain
how explicitly specifying the parameter names during the function call affects
the assignment of values to the name and course parameters, even when the
order of arguments in the function call differs from the function definition.
Solution:

def fun(name, course):

7. print("Name:", name)
print("Course:", course)

# Keyword arguments (order doesn’t matter)

fun(course="DSA", name="gfg")
fun(name="gfg", course="DSA")

📌 Explanation:
When using keyword arguments, the order doesn’t matter because the parameters are
explicitly named.

Write a Python function which prints the product name and its price, explain
how the order of arguments passed during the function call affects the output.
Illustrate this by comparing the output of "Case-1," where the arguments are
provided in the defined order, with the output of "Case-2," where the order is
reversed. What does this demonstrate about positional arguments in Python
functions?
Solution:

def productInfo(product, price):

print("Product:", product)
print("Price: $", price)
8.
# Case-1: Correct order
print("Case-1:")
productInfo("Laptop", 1200)

# Case-2: Incorrect order

print("\nCase-2:")
productInfo(1200, "Laptop")

📌 Explanation:
With positional arguments, the order matters. Reversing them will swap meanings.
 Explain the concept of a Python function, including its syntax, the process of
calling or invoking it, and the purpose and usage of the return keyword with
illustrative examples?
Solution :

# Function definition
def add(a, b):
return a + b # 'return' sends back the result

# Function call
result = add(5, 3)
print("Sum:", result)
9.

📌 Explanation:

 Function: Block of code designed to perform a task.

 Syntax:

def function_name(parameters):
# code block
return value

 Calling: Just use function_name(args).

 return: Sends back output for use later.

What is the primary purpose of using modules and packages in Python?

Elaborate on the benefits they offer in terms of code organization,
reusability, and maintainability. Additionally, provide a brief overview of
standard library modules and their significance.
Solution :
📌 Modules:
A module is a .py file containing reusable code (functions, variables, classes).

📌 Packages:
A package is a directory containing multiple modules and a special __init__.py file.

🔍 Benefits:
10.
 Code Reusability: Write once, use multiple times.
 Modularity: Divide large code into smaller parts.
 Maintainability: Easier to debug and update.

🔧 Examples from Python Standard Library:

 math → Mathematical operations

 random → Random number generation
 datetime → Date and time manipulation
 os → Interact with operating system
 sys → System-specific parameters and functions
