2. Explain the concept of object-oriented programming (OOP) in Python.

a) Four Main Principles of OOP:

 Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit.
 Abstraction: Hiding the complex implementation details and showing only essential features.
 Inheritance: A class can inherit attributes and methods from another class.
 Polymorphism: A method can have different implementations depending on the object.

b) Python Code for Car class:

python
Syntax
class Car:
def __init__(self, make, model, year):
self.make = make
self.model = model
self.year = year

def car_details(self):
return f"{self.year} {self.make} {self.model}"

# Creating an instance
car = Car("Toyota", "Camry", 2021)
print(car.car_details())

Answer: The output is: 2021 Toyota Camry.

3. Write a Python function that:

a) Removes vowels from a string:

python
Syntax
def remove_vowels(s):
vowels = "aeiouAEIOU"
return "".join([char for char in s if char not in vowels])

print(remove_vowels("Hello World")) # Hll Wrld

Answer: Hll Wrld

b) Explanation:
The function removes vowels by iterating over the string and checking if each character is a
vowel, and if not, adding it to the result.

c) Test cases:

python
Syntax
print(remove_vowels("Python")) # Pythn
print(remove_vowels("aeiou")) # ""

4. Difference between deepcopy() and shallow copy().

a) Definition:
  Shallow Copy: Copies the reference to the object. Changes to the copied object affect the
original.
 Deep Copy: Copies the entire object and nested objects. Changes to the copied object do not
affect the original.

b) Code to demonstrate:

python
Syntax
import copy

original_list = [1, [2, 3], 4]

shallow_copied_list = copy.copy(original_list)
deep_copied_list = copy.deepcopy(original_list)

# Modifying the copy

shallow_copied_list[1][0] = 99
deep_copied_list[1][0] = 55

print("Original List:", original_list)

print("Shallow Copy:", shallow_copied_list)
print("Deep Copy:", deep_copied_list)

Answer:

 Shallow Copy modifies the original list since lists are mutable.
 Deep Copy keeps the original list unchanged.

c) Output Explanation:

 Shallow Copy: [1, [99, 3], 4] (The nested list is modified in the original).
 Deep Copy: [1, [55, 3], 4] (The original list is unchanged).

5. Write a Python program that:

a) Checks if a number is prime:

python
Syntax
def is_prime(n):
if n <= 1:
return False
for i in range(2, n):
if n % i == 0:
return False
return True

print(is_prime(5)) # True
print(is_prime(10)) # False
Answer: True for 5, False for 10.

b) Explanation:
The program checks if the number is divisible by any number other than 1 and itself. If divisible,
it is not prime.

c) Sample output:

 5 is a prime number.
 10 is not a prime number.

6. Python’s built-in data structures:

a) List:
A list is a mutable, ordered collection of elements.
Example:

python
Syntax
lst = [1, 2, 3]

b) Tuple:
A tuple is an immutable, ordered collection of elements.
Example:

python
Syntax
tpl = (1, 2, 3)

c) Dictionary:
A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs.
Example:

python
Syntax
dct = {"a": 1, "b": 2}

d) Set:
A set is an unordered collection of unique elements.
Example:

python
Syntax
st = {1, 2, 3}

e) Use case examples:

  List: Used when order matters and data is mutable.
 Tuple: Used for fixed data collections.
 Dictionary: Used for fast lookups via keys.
 Set: Used for uniqueness and set operations like union and intersection.

7. Write a Python program to handle exceptions:

a) Explanation of exception handling:

python
Syntax
try:
x = 1 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("Cannot divide by zero!")

b) Handling file opening errors:

python
Syntax
try:
f = open("nonexistentfile.txt", "r")
except FileNotFoundError:
print("File not found!")

c) Explanation of how exception handling improves program robustness: It allows the program
to continue running by handling errors gracefully and not crashing.

8. Difference between is and ==:

a) is checks object identity (whether two references point to the same object in memory).
== checks if two objects have the same value.

b) Code to demonstrate:

python
Syntax
a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [1, 2, 3]
c = a

print(a == b) # True
print(a is b) # False
print(a is c) # True

c) Output Explanation:
 a == b: True because they have the same values.
 a is b: False because they refer to different objects.
 a is c: True because c is a reference to a.
