1. Explain pop(), remove(), len(), clear(), insert() functions related to list with example.

(10 Marks)

Python provides several built-in functions for lists that make it easy to add, remove, and manipulate
elements. Below is the detailed explanation with examples:

1) pop()

Removes and returns an element from a list at a specific index.

If no index is given, it removes and returns the last element.

Raises IndexError if the list is empty.

Example:

numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40]

numbers.pop() # Removes 40 (last element)

numbers.pop(1) # Removes 20 (index 1)

print(numbers) # Output: [10, 30]

2) remove()

Removes the first occurrence of a specific value from the list.

Raises ValueError if the element is not found.

Example:

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "apple"]

fruits.remove("apple") # Removes the first "apple"

print(fruits) # Output: ['banana', 'apple']

3) len()

Returns the total number of elements in a list.


Example:

names = ["Ram", "Sita", "Lakshman"]

print(len(names)) # Output: 3

4) clear()

Removes all elements from the list (makes it empty).

Example:

items = [1, 2, 3]

items.clear()

print(items) # Output: []

5) insert()

Inserts an element at a specific position without replacing the existing elements.

The elements from that position shift to the right.

Example:

letters = ["A", "C", "D"]

letters.insert(1, "B")

print(letters) # Output: ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']

These functions make Python lists flexible, dynamic, and easy to manage.
2. Describe structure of Python program. (10 Marks)

A Python program follows a simple but organized structure for readability and modularity. Below is
the typical structure:

1) Shebang Line (Optional)

Used in Linux/Unix systems to specify the Python interpreter path.

Not mandatory for Windows.

Example:
#!/usr/bin/python3

2) Module Imports

Used to import built-in or external libraries for additional functionality.

Example:
import math
import sys

---

3) Global Variables and Constants

Define variables and constants that will be reused across the program.

4) Function Definitions

Functions divide the program into reusable blocks for modularity.

Example:
def greet(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}")

5) Main Program Block

The part of the program that runs only when the file is executed directly (not imported).

Example:
if _name_ == "_main_":
greet("Student")
6) Comments and Documentation

Single-line comments use #.

Multi-line docstrings use triple quotes """.

Typical Flow of a Python Program:

[Shebang Line] → [Imports] → [Global Variables/Constants] → [Functions] → [Main Execution Block]


→ [Output]

This structure ensures clarity, maintainability, and reusability of the Python code.
