Q No. Section-B ( 7 x 2=14 Marks) Marks
22 Answer: 2
A. Implicit Conversion: Python automatically converts one data type to another.
Example:
x = 10
y = 3.5
result = x + y # x is implicitly converted to float
Explicit Conversion: The user manually converts one data type to another using
functions like int(), float().
Example:
x = "10"
y = int(x) # Explicit conversion from string to integer
(1 mark for correct difference)
(1/2 mark for each correct example)
OR
B. Break exits the loop entirely, while continue skips the current iteration and
moves to the next one.
Example of break:
for i in range(5):
if i == 2:
break # Exits the loop
print(i)
Output:
1
Example of continue:
for i in range(5):
if i == 2:
