4. Very short answer type questions
a. What is the other name for iterative statements?
Looping statements.
b. Write any one advantage of loop statement.
It reduces code redundancy by repeating a set of instructions automatically.
c. Write the syntax of while loop.
while condition:
# statements
d. What is an infinite loop?
A loop that never terminates because the condition always evaluates to True.
e. What is the use of capitalize() function?
The capitalize() function converts the first character of a string to uppercase and the rest to
lowercase.
5. Short answer type questions
a. What is the output of the following code snippets?

16
25
36
49
64
81
100
ii.
x = 10

x += 1
y += 1
Output:
10 62
11 63
12 64
13 65
14 66
iii.
for i in range(3):
print(i)
Output:
0
1
2
iv.
for i in range(2**2):
print('Hello!')
Output:
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
6. Long answer type questions
a. Write the structure of looping statements.
For loop:
for variable in sequence:
# statements
While loop:
while condition:
# statements
b. What is an infinite loop? Give an example.
An infinite loop is a loop that runs indefinitely because its condition always evaluates to True.
Example:
while True:
print("This is an infinite loop")
c. What is the difference between the for loop and the while loop? Explain with an example.
For loop: Iterates over a sequence (like a list, string, or range).
Example:
for i in range(5):
print(i)
While loop: Repeats as long as the condition is true.
Example:
i=0
while i < 5:
print(i)
i += 1
d. What are strings in Python? Give example of any two strings.
Strings are sequences of characters enclosed in quotes.
Example:
string1 = "Hello, World!"
string2 = 'Python Programming'
e. Draw the flowchart of for loop.
[Flowchart for "for loop": Start -> Initialize -> Condition -> Execute Statement -> Increment ->
Check Condition -> End]
