Reason — Class is not a core data type.

Question 6

How would you write xy in Python as an

expression ?

1. x^y
2. x**y
3. x^^y
4. none of these

Answer

x**y

Reason — ** is an arithmetic operator used

for exponentiation.

Question 7

What will be the value of the expression?

14 + 13 % 15

1. 14
2. 27
3. 12
4. 0

Answer

27
Reason — According to operator
precedence remainder (%) operation will be
done first and then addition (+) will be done.

14 + 13 % 15
= 14 + 13
= 27

Question 8

Evaluate the expression given below if A =

16 and B = 15.
A % B // A

1. 0.0
2. 0
3. 1.0
4. 1

Answer

Reason — According to operator

precedence, floor division (//) and remainder
(%) both have equal precedence hence the
expression will be evaluated from left to
right.

A % B // A
= 16 % 15 // 16
= 1 // 16
=0

Question 9
What is the value of x?
x = int(13.25 + 4/2)

1. 17
2. 14
3. 15
4. 23

Answer

15

Reason — According to operator

precedence, division will be done first
followed by addition and then it will convert
to integer.

x = int(13.25 + 4/2)
x = int(13.25 + 2.0)
x = int(15.45)
x = 15

Question 10

The expression 8/4/2 will evaluate

equivalent to which of the following
expressions:

1. 8/(4/2)
2. (8/4)/2

Answer

(8/4)/2

Reason — As both the operators are

division operators, the expression will be
evaluated from left to right.

8/4/2 = 2/2 = 1.0

(8/4)/2
= 2/2
= 1.0

Question 11

Which among the following list of operators

has the highest precedence?

+, -, **, %, /, <<, >>, |

1. <<, >>
2. **
3. I
4. %

Question 12

Which of the following expressions results in

an error?

1. float('12')
2. int('12')
3. float('12.5')
4. int('12.5')

Answer

int('12.5')
Reason — int() are positive or negative
whole numbers with no decimal point.

Question 13

Which of the following statement prints the

shown output below?
hello\example\[Link]

1. print("hello\example\[Link]")
2. print("hello\\example\\[Link]")
3. print("hello\"example\"[Link]")
4. print("hello"\example"\[Link]")

Answer

print("hello\\example\\[Link]")

Reason — Escape sequence (\\) is used for

Backslash (\).

Question 14

Which value type does input() return ?

1. Boolean
2. String
3. Int
4. Float

Answer

String

Reason — The input() function always

returns a value of String type.

Question 15
Which two operators can be used on
numeric values in Python?

1. @
2. %
3. +
4. #

Answer

%, +

Reason — %, + are arithmetic operators.

Question 16

Which of the following four code fragments

will yield following output?

Eina
Mina
Dika

Select all of the function calls that result in

this output

1. print('''Eina
\nMina
\nDika''')
2. print('''EinaMinaDika''')
3. print('Eina\nMina\nDika')
4. print('Eina
Mina
Dika')

Answer
print('Eina\nMina\nDika')

Reason —

1. print('''Eina
\nMina
\nDika''') — It is a multiline string and by
adding \n extra line will be added.
2. print('''EinaMinaDika''') — There is no
new line character.
3. print('Eina\nMina\nDika') — It adds new
line by \n new line character.
4. print('Eina
Mina
Dika') — It creates an error because it is
a multiline string with no triple quotes.

Question 17

Which of the following is valid arithmetic

operator in Python :

1. //
2. ?
3. <
4. and

Answer

//

Reason — // is valid arithmetic operator in

Python.

"WELCOME", which of the following will be
the correct output of print(s[1::2])?

1. WEL
2. COME
3. WLOE
4. ECM

Answer

ECM

Reason — The slicing will start from index 1

and return at every alternative step.

s[1] = E
s[3] = C
s[5] = M
output = ECM

Question 19

Which of the following is an incorrect Logical

operator in Python?

1. not
2. in
3. or

Question 20

Which of the following is not a Tuple in

Python?

1. (1,2,3)
2. ("One","Two","Three")
3. (10,)
4. ("One")

Answer

("One")

Reason — ("One") is a string data type.

Fill in the Blanks

Question 1

The smallest individual unit in a program is

known as a token.

Question 2

A token is also called a lexical unit.

Question 3

A keyword is a word having special

meaning and role as specified by
programming language.

Question 4

The data types whose values cannot be

changed in place are called immutable
types.

Question 5
In a Python expression, when conversion of
a value's data type is done automatically by
the compiler without programmer's
intervention, it is called implicit type
conversion.

Question 6

The explicit conversion of an operand to a

specific type is called type casting.

Question 7

The pass statement is an empty statement

in Python.

Question 8

A break statement skips the rest of the loop

and jumps over to the statement following
the loop.

Question 9

The continue statement skips the rest of the

loop statements and causes the next
iteration of the loop to take place.

Question 10

Python's keywords cannot be used as

variable name.
True/False Questions

Question 1

The expression int(x) implies that the

variable x is converted to integer.
Answer

True

Reason — int(x) explicitly converts variable

x to integer type.

Question 2

The value of the expressions 4/(3*(2 - 1))

and 4/3*(2 - 1) is the same.

Answer

True

Reason — Parentheses has first

precedence then multiplication then division
has precedence.

4/(3*(2-1))
= 4/(3*1)
= 4/3
= 1.33333

4/3*(2-1)
= 4/3*1
= 4/3
= 1.33333

Question 3

The value of the expressions 4/(3*(4 - 2))

and 4/3*(4 - 2) is the same.

Answer

False
Reason — Parentheses has first
precedence then multiplication then division
has precedence.

4/(3*(4-2))
= 4/(3*2)
= 4/6
= 0.6666

4/3*(4-2)
= 4/3*2
= 1.3333*2
= 2.6666

Question 4

The expression 2**2**3 is evaluated as:

(2**2)**3.

Answer

False

Reason — The expression 2**2**3 is

evaluated as: 2**(2**3) because
exponentiation operates from right to left
(i.e., it is right associative).

Question 5

A string can be surrounded by three sets of

single quotation marks or by three sets of
double quotation marks.

Answer

True
Reason — A string literal is a sequence of
characters surrounded by single or double
or triple double quotes or triple single
quotes.

Question 6

Variables can be assigned only once.

Answer

False

Reason — Python supports dynamic typing

i.e., a variable can hold values of different
types at different times.

Question 7

In Python, a variable is a placeholder for

data.

Answer

False

Reason — Variables represent labelled

storage locations, whose values can be
manipulated during program run.

Question 8

In Python, only if statement has else clause.

Answer

False

Reason — Loops in Python can have else

clause too.
Question 9

Python loops can also have else clause.

Answer

True

Reason — Loops in Python can have else

clause.

Question 10

In a nested loop, a break statement

terminates all the nested loops in one go.

Answer

False

Reason — In nested loops, a break

statement will terminate the very loop it
appears in.
Assertions and Reasons

Question 1

Assertion. Assigning a new value to an int

variable creates a new variable internally.

Reason. The int type is immutable data type

of Python.

Answer

(a)

Both Assertion and Reason are true and

Reason is the correct explanation of
Assertion.
Explanation
In python, literal values have fixed memory
locations and variable names reference
them as values. This means that, although
we can change the value of an integer
variable, the process involves creating a
new integer object with the updated value.
Literal values, such as 10, have fixed
memory locations, and variables act as
references to these values. When we assign
a new value to an integer variable, we are
essentially creating a new object, and the
variable now points to this new object.
Hence, both Assertion and Reason are true
and Reason is the correct explanation of
Assertion.

Question 2

Assertion. """A Sample Python String""" is a

valid Python String.

Reason. Triple Quotation marks are not

valid in Python.

Answer

(c)

Assertion is true but Reason is false.

Explanation
A string literal is a sequence of characters
surrounded by single or double or triple
single quotes or triple double quotes.
Question 3

Assertion. If and For are legal statements in

Python.

Reason. Python is case sensitive and its

basic selection and looping statements are
in lower case.

Answer

(d)

Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Explanation
if is conditional statement and for is loop
statement. Python is case sensitive and its
selection and looping statements are in
lower case.

Question 4

Assertion. if and for are legal statements in

Python.

Reason. Python is case sensitive and its

basic selection and looping statements are
in lower case.

Answer

(a)

Both Assertion and Reason are true and

Reason is the correct explanation of
Assertion.
Explanation
if is conditional statement and for is loop
statement. Python is case sensitive and its
selection and looping statements are in
lower case.

Question 5

Assertion. The break statement can be

used with all selection and iteration
statements.

Reason. Using break with an if statement is

of no use unless the if statement is part of a
looping construct.

Answer

(e)

Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Explanation
In python, the break statement can be used
with iteration statements only. Using break
with conditional statements will result in
syntax error — SyntaxError: 'break'
outside loop

Question 6

Assertion. The break statement can be

used with all selection and iteration
statements.

Reason. Using break with an if statement

will give no error.
Answer

(e)

Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Explanation
In python, the break statement can be used
with iteration statements only. Using break
with conditional statements will result in
syntax error — SyntaxError: 'break'
outside loop
Type A: Short Answer
Questions/Conceptual Questions

Question 1

What are tokens in Python? How many

types of tokens are allowed in Python?
Exemplify your answer.

Answer

The smallest individual unit in a program is

known as a Token. Python has following
tokens:

1. Keywords — Examples are import, for,

in, while, etc.
2. Identifiers — Examples are MyFile,
_DS, DATE_9_7_77, etc.
3. Literals — Examples are "abc", 5, 28.5,
etc.
4. Operators — Examples are +, -, >, or,
etc.
5. Punctuators — ' " # () etc.
Question 2

How are keywords different from identifiers?

Answer

Keywords are reserved words carrying

special meaning and purpose to the
language compiler/interpreter. For example,
if, elif, etc. are keywords. Identifiers are user
defined names for different parts of the
program like variables, objects, classes,
functions, etc. Identifiers are not reserved.
They can have letters, digits and
underscore. They must begin with either a
letter or underscore. For example, _chk,
chess, trail, etc.

Question 3

What are literals in Python? How many

types of literals are allowed in Python?

Answer

Literals are data items that have a fixed

value. The different types of literals allowed
in Python are:

1. String literals
2. Numeric literals
3. Boolean literals
4. Special literal None
5. Literal collections

Question 4
State True or False : "Variable declaration is
implicit in Python."

Answer

True.

Reason — In Python, variable declaration is

implicit. This means that we don't need to
explicitly declare the data type of a variable
before using it. The type of a variable is
determined dynamically at runtime based on
the assigned value. For example:

x = 5 # x is implicitly declared a
name = "Ravi" # name is implicitly decla

Question 5

Out of the following, find those identifiers,

which cannot be used for naming Variables
or Functions in a Python program:

Price*Qty
class
For
do
4thCol
totally
Row31
_Amount

Answer
 Price*Qty ⇒ Contains special character
*
class ⇒ It is a keyword
4thCol ⇒ Begins with a digit

Question 6

Find the invalid identifier from the following :

1. MyName
2. True
3. 2ndName
4. My_Name

Answer

The invalid identifier are:

2ndName ⇒ Begins with a digit

True ⇒ It is a keyword

Question 7

Which of the following is an invalid datatype

in Python ?

1. Set
2. None
3. Integer
4. Real

Answer

Real

Reason — Real is not a standard built-in

data type in Python.
Question 8

Identify the valid arithmetic operator in

Python from the following:

1. ?
2. <
3. **
4. and

Answer

**

Reason — Let's go through each option and

see if its valid arithmetic operator or not:

1. ? — The question mark is not a valid

arithmetic operator in Python.
2. < — It is a relational operator.
3. ** — It is an arithmetic operator.
4. and — It is a logical operator.

Question 9

How are floating constants represented in

Python? Give examples to support your
answer.

Answer

Floating constants are represented in

Python in two forms — Fractional Form and
Exponent form. Examples:

1. Fractional Form — 2.0, 17.5, -13.0,

-0.00625
 2. Exponent form — 152E05, 1.52E07,
0.152E08, -0.172E-3

Question 10

How are string-literals represented and

implemented in Python?

Answer

A string-literal is represented as a sequence

of characters surrounded by quotes (single,
double or triple quotes). String-literals in
Python are implemented using Unicode.

Question 11

What are operators ? What is their function?

Give examples of some unary and binary
operators.

Answer

Operators are tokens that trigger some

computation/action when applied to
variables and other objects in an
expression. Unary plus (+), Unary minus (-),
Bitwise complement (~), Logical negation
(not) are a few examples of unary operators.
Examples of binary operators are Addition
(+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication (*),
Division (/).

Question 12

Which of the following are valid operators in

Python:
 1. **
2. */
3. like
4. ||
5. is
6. ^
7. between
8. in

Answers

The valid operators are:

** ⇒ Exponentiation operator
is ⇒ Identity operator
^ ⇒ Bitwise XOR operator
in ⇒ Membership operator

Question 13

What is an expression and a statement?

Answer

An expression is any legal combination of

symbols that represents a value. For
example, 2.9, a + 5, (3 + 5) / 4.
A statement is a programming instruction
that does something i.e. some action takes
place. For example:
print("Hello")
a = 15
b = a - 10

Question 14
What all components can a Python program
contain?

Answer

A Python program can contain various

components like expressions, statements,
comments, functions, blocks and
indentation.

Question 15

What are variables? How are they important

for a program?

Answer

Variables are named labels whose values

can be used and processed during program
run. Variables are important for a program
because they enable a program to process
different sets of data.

Question 16

Consider the given expression: not True and

False or True

Which of the following will be correct output

if the given expression is evaluated?

1. True
2. False
3. None
4. Null

Answer
True

Reason — The 'not' operator has the

highest precedence, followed by 'and', which
has precedence over 'or', and the evaluation
proceeds from left to right.
not True and False or True
= False and False or True
= False or True
= True

Question 17

Describe the concepts of block and body.

What is indentation and how is it related to
block and body?

Answer

A block in Python, represents a group of

statements executed as a single unit.
Python uses indentation to create blocks of
code. Statements at same indentation level
are part of same block/suite and constitute
the body of the block.

Question 18(a)

What are data types? How are they

important?

Answer

Data types are used to identify the type of

data a memory location can hold and the
associated operations of handling it. The
data that we deal with in our programs can
be of many types like character, integer, real
number, string, boolean, etc. hence
programming languages including Python
provide ways and facilities to handle all
these different types of data through data
types. The data types define the capabilities
to handle a specific type of data such as
memory space it allocates to hold a certain
type of data and the range of values
supported for a given data type, etc.

Question 18(b)

Write the names of any four data types

available in Python.

Answer

The names of any four data types in Python

are:

1. Integer
2. String
3. List
4. Tuple

Question 19

How many integer types are supported by

Python? Name them.

Answer

Two integer types are supported by Python.

They are:

1. Integers (signed)
 2. Booleans

Question 20

What are immutable and mutable types? List

immutable and mutable types of Python.

Answer

Mutable types are those whose values can

be changed in place whereas Immutable
types are those that can never change their
value in place.

Mutable types in Python are:

1. Lists
2. Dictionaries
3. Sets

Immutable types in Python are:

1. Integers
2. Floating-Point numbers
3. Booleans
4. Strings
5. Tuples

Question 21

What is the difference between implicit type

conversion and explicit type conversion?

Answer
 Implicit Type Explicit Type

expression.

An implicit type An explicit type

conversion is conversion is
performed without specified
programmer's explicitly by the
intervention. programmer.

Example: Example:
a, b = 5, 25.5 a, b = 5, 25.5
c=a+b c = int(a + b)

Question 22

An immutable data type is one that cannot

change after being created. Give three
reasons to use immutable data.

Answer

Three reasons to use immutable data types

are:

1. Immutable data types increase the

efficiency of the program as they are
 quicker to access than mutable data
types.
2. Immutable data types helps in efficient
use of memory storage as different
variables containing the same value can
point to the same memory location.
Immutability guarantees that contents of
the memory location will not change.
3. Immutable data types are thread-safe
so they make it easier to parallelize the
program through multi-threading.

Question 23

What is entry controlled loop? Which loop is

entry controlled loop in Python?

Answer

An entry-controlled loop checks the

condition at the time of entry. Only if the
condition is true, the program control enters
the body of the loop. In Python, for and
while loops are entry-controlled loops.

Question 24

Explain the use of the pass statement.

Illustrate it with an example.

Answer

The pass statement of Python is a do

nothing statement i.e. empty statement or
null operation statement. It is useful in
scenarios where syntax of the language
requires the presence of a statement but the
logic of the program does not. For example,

for i in range(10):
if i == 2:
pass
else:
print("i =", i)

Question 25

Rewrite the adjacent code in python after

removing all syntax error(s). Underline each
correction done in the code.

30 = To
for K in range(0,To)
IF k%4 == 0:
print(K * 4)
Else:
print(K+3).

Answer

The corrected code is shown below:

To = 30 # Correction 1
for K in range(0,To): # Correction 2
if K % 4 == 0: # Correction 3
print(K * 4)
else: # Correction 4
print(K+3) # Correction 5

Explanation

Correction 1 — Variable should be on left

side and literals should be on right side.
Correction 2 — Semi-colon was missing in
the for loop syntax.
Correction 3 — if statement should be in
lower case.
Correction 4 — else statement should be in
lower case.
Correction 5 — Full stop should not be there
at the end of print function.

Question 26

Below are seven segments of code, each

with a part coloured. Indicate the data type
of each coloured part by choosing the
correct type of data from the following type.

(a) int
(b) float
(c) bool
(d) str
(e) function
(f) list of int
(g) list of str

(i)

if temp < 32 :
print ("Freezing")

(ii)

L = ['Hiya', 'Zoya', 'Preet']

print(L[1])

(iii)
 M = []
for i in range (3) :
[Link](i)
print(M)

(iv)

L = ['Hiya', 'Zoya', 'Preet']

n = len(L)
if 'Donald' in L[1 : n] :
print(L)

(v)

if n % 2 == 0 :
print("Freezing")

(vi)

L = [Link]()
while L != ( ) :
print(L)
L = L[1 :]

(vii)

L = ['Hiya', 'Zoya', 'Preet']

print(L[0] + L[1])

Answer

(i) bool
(ii) str
(iii) list of int
(iv) int
(v) bool
(vi) list of str
(vii) str

Question 27

Write the output of the following Python

code:

for i in range(2,7,2):
print(i*'$')

Answer

Output

$$
$$$$
$$$$$$

Explanation

range(2,7,2) returns [2, 4, 6] as it defines a

range of 2 to 6 with a step of 2. The loop

iterates as below:

For i = 2 , it prints $$ .

For i = 4 , it prints $$$$ .

For i = 6 , it prints $$$$$$ .

Question 2c

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

keepgoing = True
x=100
while keepgoing :
 print (x)
x = x - 10
if x < 50 :
keepgoing = False

Answer

Output

100
90
80
70
60
50

Explanation

Inside while loop, the line x = x - 10 is

decreasing x by 10 so after 5 iterations of
while loop x will become 40. When x
becomes 40, the condition if x < 50
becomes true so keepgoing is set to False
due to which the while loop stops iterating.

Question 2d

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

x = 45
while x < 50 :
print (x)

Answer

This is an endless (infinite) loop that will

keep printing 45 continuously.
As the loop control variable x is not updated
inside the loop neither there is any break
statement inside the loop so it becomes an
infinite loop.

Question 2e

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

for x in [1,2,3,4,5]:
print (x)

Answer

Output

1
2
3
4
5

Explanation

x will be assigned each of the values from

the list one by one and that will get printed.

Question 2f

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

for p in range(1,10):
print (p)

Answer
Output

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

Explanation

range(1,10) will generate a sequence like

this [1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. p will be

assigned each of the values from this
sequence one by one and that will get
printed.

Question 2g

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

for z in range(-500, 500, 100):

print (z)

Answer

Output

-500
-400
-300
-200
-100
0
100
200
 300
400

Explanation

range(-500, 500, 100) generates a

sequence of numbers from -500 to 400 with

each subsequent number incrementing by
100. Each number of this sequence is
assigned to z one by one and then z gets
printed inside the for loop.

Question 2h

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

x = 10
y = 5
for i in range(x-y * 2):
print (" % ", i)

Answer

This code generates No Output.

Explanation

The x-y * 2 in range(x-y * 2) is

evaluated as below:

x-y*2
⇒ 10 - 5 * 2
⇒ 10 - 10 [∵ * has higher precedence than -]
⇒0

Thus range(x-y * 2) is equivalent to

range(0) which returns an empty sequence
— [ ].

Question 2i

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

c = 0
for x in range(10):
for y in range(5):
c += 1
print (c)

Answer

Output

50

Explanation

Outer loop executes 10 times. For each

iteration of outer loop, inner loop executes 5
times. Thus, the statement c += 1 is
executed 10 * 5 = 50 times. c is incremented
by 1 in each execution so final value of c
becomes 50.

Question 2j

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

x = [1,2,3]
counter = 0
while counter < len(x):
print(x[counter] * '%')
for y in x:
 print(y * '* ')
counter += 1

Answer

Output

%
*
* *
* * *
%%
*
* *
* * *
%%%
*
* *
* * *

Explanation

In this code, the for loop is nested inside the

while loop. Outer while loop runs 3 times
and prints % as per the elements in x in
each iteration. For each iteration of while
loop, the inner for loop executes 3 times
printing * as per the elements in x.

Question 2k

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

for x in 'lamp':
print([Link](x))

Answer
Output

L
A
M
P

Explanation

The for loop extracts each letter of the string

'lamp' one by one and place it in variable x.
Inside the loop, x is converted to uppercase
and printed.

Question 2l

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

x = 'one'
y = 'two'
counter = 0
while counter < len(x):
print(x[counter], y[counter])
counter += 1

Answer

Output

o t
n w
e o

Explanation

Inside the while loop, each letter of x and y

is accessed one by one and printed.
Question 2m

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

x = "apple, pear, peach"

y = [Link](", ")
for z in y :
print(z)

Answer

Output

apple
pear
peach

Explanation

[Link](", ") breaks up string x into a list of

strings so y becomes ['apple', 'pear',
'peach']. The for loop iterates over this list
and prints each string one by one.

Question 2n

Predict the output of the following code

fragments:

x ='apple, pear, peach, grapefruit'

y = [Link](', ')
for z in y:
if z < 'm':
print([Link](z))
else:
print([Link](z))

Answer
Output

apple
PEAR
PEACH
grapefruit

Explanation

[Link](', ') breaks up string x into a list of

strings so y becomes ['apple', 'pear', 'peach',
'grapefruit']. The for loop iterates over this
list. apple and grapefruit are less than m
(since a and g comes before m) so they are
converted to lowercase and printed whereas
pear and peach are converted to uppercase
and printed.

Question 3

Which of the following is the correct output

for the execution of the following Python
statement ?

print(5 + 3 ** 2 / 2)

1. 32
2. 8.0
3. 9.5
4. 32.0

Answer

9.5

Explanation
According to operator precedence,
exponentiation(**) will come first then
division then addition.

5 + 3 ** 2 / 2
=5+9/2
= 5 + 4.5
= 9.5

Question 4(i)

How many times will the following for loop

execute and what's the output?

for i in range(-1, 7, -2):

for j in range (3):
print(1, j)

Answer

The loops execute 0 times and the code

produces no output. range(-1, 7, -2) returns
an empty sequence as there are no
numbers that start at -1 and go till 6
decrementing by -2. Due to empty
sequence, the loops don't execute.

Question 4(ii)

How many times will the following for loop

execute and what's the output?

for i in range(1,3,1):
for j in range(i+1):
print('*')

Answer
Loop executes for 5 times.

Output

*
*
*
*
*

Explanation

range(1,3,1) returns [1, 2]. For first iteration

of outer loop j is in range [0, 1] so inner loop
executes twice. For second iteration of outer
loop j is in range [0, 1, 2] so inner loop
executes 3 times. This makes the total
number of loop executions as 2 + 3 = 5.

Question 5

Find and write the output of the following

python code:

for Name in ['Jay', 'Riya', 'Tanu', 'Anil

print (Name)
if Name[0] == 'T' :
break
else :
print ('Finished!')
print ('Got it!')

Answer

Output

Jay
Finished!
Riya
 Finished!
Tanu
Got it!

Explanation

The for loop iterates over each name in the

list and prints it. If the name does not begin
with the letter T, Finished! is printed after the
name. If the name begins with T, break
statement is executed that terminates the
loop. Outside the loop, Got it! gets printed.

Question 6

Is the loop in the code below infinite? How

do you know (for sure) before you run it?

m = 3
n = 5
while n < 10:
m = n - 1
n = 2 * n - m
print(n, m)

Answer

The loop is not infinite. To know this without

running it we can analyze how n is changed
inside the loop in the following way:

n=2*n-m

Substituting value of m from m = n - 1,

n = 2 * n - (n - 1)
⇒n=2*n-n+1
⇒ n = 2n - n + 1
⇒n=n+1

Therefore, inside the loop n is incremented

by 1 in each iteration. Loop condition is n <
10 and initial value of n is 5. So after 5
iterations, n will become 10 and the loop will
terminate.
