Q1.

Explain for and while loops with example


For loop repeats over a sequence. While loop repeats until condition is true. Example: for i in
range(5): print(i) while x<5: print(x); x+=1

Q2. Print character of given ASCII value


Use chr() and ord(). Example: chr(65)->'A', ord('A')->65

Q3. Key features and advantages of Python


Easy, interpreted, object-oriented, open source, large libraries. Adv: Fast development,
cross-platform, readable syntax.

Q4. Role of Python interpreter (interactive vs script)


Interactive: run line by line in terminal. Script: code saved in .py file and executed at once.

Q5. Compiled vs Interpreted languages


Compiled: translate full code before run (C, C++). Interpreted: line by line (Python, JS). Python is
interpreted.

Q6. Application of Python


Used in web dev, data science, ML, AI, automation, games, IoT, hacking.

Q7. Declare and call functions


def greet(name): print('Hello',name) greet('Mahendra')

Q8. Operators, functions and modules for numeric type


Operators: +,-,*,/,%,//,** Built-ins: abs(), round(), pow(), max(), min() Modules: math, random,
statistics

Q9. Importing module attributes


import math; print([Link](25)) from math import pi; print(pi)

Q10. Define algorithm & properties


Algorithm: stepwise solution. Props: finiteness, input, output, definiteness, effectiveness.

Q11. Difference between algorithm and pseudocode


Algorithm: stepwise logic, language-free. Pseudocode: code-like representation.

Q12. Pseudocode & its characteristics


Informal code written in simple English. Clear, structured, easy to convert, no syntax rules.

Q13. Rules, advantages & disadvantages of pseudocode


Rules: simple words, indentation, logic. Adv: easy to read. Disadv: not executable.

Q14. Flowchart symbols, rules, advantages & disadvantages


Symbols: Oval-start/end, Rectangle-process, Diamond-decision, Arrow-flow. Adv: easy to visualize.
Disadv: hard for big programs.
