2. What is a Variable? Discuss the rules for naming a variable?
Ans: When we are working with the values in Python, we require some storage to hold
values for later use. Such storage locations are known as Variables. A variable can
store only one value at a time. When a new value is stored in a variable, its previous
value gets overwritten.
The rules to write the variable names are:
1)The variable name must start wits an alphabet (Capital or small) or an underscore (-)
2) A variable name can consist of alphabets, digits and underscore. No other character
is allowed
3) A python keyword cannot be used as a variable name
4)A variable name can be of any length.
5) Variable names are case sensitive.
3. Explain the different working modes of Python.
Ans: we can work in Python in two ways:
1)Interactive mode:
In the interactive mode of Python, the instructions are executed, line by line, giving the
output. In this mode commands are typed next to these Python Command (>>>).
2) Script Mode:
For writing lengthy programs in Python, Script mode is used. Using this mode, we can create
and edit Python programs. In this mode, we can save our file so that it can be used later. The
complete script is written in an editor, Such as a notepad in windows
4.What is the use of Print ( ) function? Discuss all the separators used with Print ( ) function.
Ans: The print ( ) function is used to display the output of any command on the screen. It

we can also pass more than one argument to the print( ) function. In such a case, the
arguments are separated by commas.
