 Section C
Answer the following as directed: [2X3=6]

25. Evaluate and justify the output of the following print statement:
print(False and 1==1 or not True or 1==1 and False or 0==0)

26. Write the output of the following code segment:

a. true = False
while True:
print(True)
break

b. x= "and" * (3+2) > "or" + "4"

print(type(x))

27. Write the output of the following code segment:

b. for i in “JAVA”:
print(i in “JAVA”)

Answer the following: [2X3=6]

28. Add a pair of parentheses to each expression so that it evaluates to True.
a. 0 == 1 == 2
b. 2 + 3 == 4 + 5 == 7

 Section D
Write down the following programs using Python programming language. [4 X 5=20]

31. Write a program which will take a range from user and find out all the palindrome
number within that range. [Do not convert any number into string for processing]
Ex. If the range is : 100 and 150
Output : The palindrome numbers are: 101, 111, 121, 131, 141
(Palindrome numbers means “the reverse of the number is equal to the number itself)

32. Write a program to print the sum of the following series without using any in-built
operator or any in-built function. [Hint: Use the concept of loop]
S=x-x2+x3-x4+x5-x6………up to xn
(Where x and n will be the user input and positive integers)
33. Write a program which will accept a string from user and print the same in the
following pattern:
If the string input is: “Python String Program”, then the out will be as follows:
Python
Python String
Python String Program

34. Write a program which will take a decimal number as input and display the equivalent
binary number.
e.g.: Enter Decimal Number: 18
Binary is: 10010
(Fractional part is ignorable)

35. Write a program that reads a line as string and print the smallest word within it.
e.g. : Input string : “Hello Python do you know me?”
Output : “Smallest word is: do”

Section E

Write down the answer of the following questions. [4X2=8]

36. Distinguish between SRAM and DRAM.
37. Give one example of each of implicit and explicit type casting in python programming.
38. What are literals in Python program? How many types of literals are there in python?
39. What will be the output of the following expressions when s= “python”?
a. print((s[:]+s[: : -1]))
b. print((s[:]+s[: : -1])[: : -1].split("nn"))
