1. Write a program to accept two numbers. Now swap the
numbers and display them after swapping.
a = int (input ( "Enter first number" ))

a) delimiter b) variable c) ✔ keywords

3. Which operators are used to work on numeric values?
a) ✔ arithmetic b) relational c) logical
4. Which data type represents decimal numbers?
a) int b) ✔ float c) str

(D) Answer the following questions.
1. Describe print() and input().
Ans. print() function: The print() function is used to display
output in Python. The output can be a string or evaluated
value of any command or expression.
Ex. print (“How are you”)

S
will give output
How are you

N
Ex. print (78)
will give the output

IO
78
Ex. print (“3+4”)
will give the output
7

AT
input() function: The input() function in Python accepts
input from the user, but only in the form of string values,
which should be converted in int or float values using int()
IC
or float() respectively.
Ex. num=int(input(“Enter number”))
will prompt user to enter a number with the given
BL

message.
>>>Enter number__
Value entered by user will convert into int type because of
int() function used with input().
PU

2. What do you understand by interactive mode in Python?

Ans. In the interactive mode of Python, the instructions are
executed line by line to give the output. The Python
interactive interpreter makes it easy to check Python
commands in this mode. Follow the process given below,
K

to work in the interactive mode:

i. Click on the Start button All programs
TU

Python 3.7 IDLE (Python 3.7).

ii. It will open the python shell window where the python
prompt can be seen(>>>).
iii. Type the following commands next to the python
prompt and the Python will immediately give the output.

3. Write some features of Python.
Ans. The important features of Python:
i. Python is easy to understand and to learn for beginners.
ii. Python interpreters are available for many operating
systems.
iii. Python is a multi-paradigm programming language.
(Procedural and Object Oriented)

S
iv. Its formatting is visually uncluttered, and it often uses
English keywords.

N
v. The simple and easy to learn syntax of Python
emphasises readability.

IO
vi. It supports modules and packages, which encourages
program modularity and code reuse.
vii. It can be easily integrated with languages like C, C++,
Java etc.
4.
Ans.
AT
Describe different types of data type used in Python.
The basic data types used in Python:
Int (integer): The Int data type represents integer numbers
(numbers without any fractional part). There are two types of
IC
integers in python:
i. Integers- It stores values in the range of -2147483648 to
2147483647.
BL

ii. Boolean (bool)- It represents logical values in the form

of true and false. In Boolean, 0 represents false and 1
represents true.
Float: It represents floating point values, which means
PU

numbers with fractional parts. The fractional part of a floating

point number may be 0 as well. Examples of floating point
numbers are 3.14, -48.6,18.0, etc.
Str(String): A string datatype represents strings of
characters enclosed within quotation marks (“Or”).
K

Example of strings are, “Welcome”, 'hi', '312','India', etc.

(E) Answer in short.

1. Write a short note on Python.
Ans. Python is a general-purpose high-level programming
language. It allows programming in procedural and
Object Oriented programming paradigm. Python
programs are generally smaller than other programming
languages.

2. What is a character set?
Ans. Character represents any letters, digits or symbol. It is a
set of valid characters that Python recognises. Python
uses the traditional ASCII character set. Python consists
of the following:
i. Letters: A to Z (Upper case) and a to z (Lower case)

S
ii. Digits: 0 to 9
iii. Special symbols: _ , (, ), [, ], {, }, +, -, *, /, ~, ^, $, <, %, >, #

N
iv. White spaces'\t\n\x0c\r'): Space, tab ( ), new line( )

IO
3. What are operators? Write the names of the different types of
operators.
Ans. An operator in a programming language is a symbol that

AT
tells the compiler or interpreter to perform specific
mathematical, relational or logical operation and
produces final result.
Types of operators used in Python are-
IC
i. Arithmetic operators
ii. Relational Operators
BL

iii. Logical Operators

4. What do you understand by installing Python?
Ans. Installing Python means downloading Python Executable
PU

Installer and running it, so that Python IDE is ready to

execute the Python code.
