Conditional and Looping

Constructs
Fill in the Blanks

Question 1

Statements in Python are executed sequentially while working with a sequence construct.

Question 2

Flow charts are diagrams that show the step-by-step solution to a given problem.

Question 3

The most popularly used looping constructs in Python are for loop and while loop.

Question 4

For loop is the best when the number of iterations is known.

Question 5

Conditional statements let us write a program to do different tasks or take different paths based
on the outcome of the conditions.

Question 6

A loop that never ends is called an infinite loop.

Question 7

The iterative or looping construct means repetition of a set of statements depending upon a
condition test.

Question 8

The for statement is used to iterate over a range of values or a sequence.

Question 9

The statements within the body of for loop are executed till the range of values is exhausted.

Question 10

Header line begins with a keyword and ends with a colon.

State True or False

Question 1

Flow chart is not a graphical representation of steps and algorithm to solve a given problem.

Answer

False

Reason — Flow chart is a graphical representation of the sequence of steps and decisions needed
to perform a process/task.

Question 2

if, elif, else are not block or compound statements.

Answer

False

Reason — The if, elif, and else are block or compound statements in Python.

Question 3

Every compound statement of Python has a header and indented body below the header.

Answer

True

Reason — In Python, every compound statement has a header and indented body below the
header.

Question 4

Block is the group of consecutive statements having some indentation level.

Answer

True

Reason — In Python, a block is a group of consecutive statements that are intended to be

executed together under a certain condition or scope.

Question 5

The body of the loop that is executed more than one time is called iteration.

Answer

True

Reason — The body of the loop that is executed more than one time is called an iteration.

Question 6

To cancel the running of endless loop, you can press CTRL+C key any time during its endless
repetition to stop it.

Answer

True

Reason — To cancel the running of endless loop, we can press CTRL+ C key any time during
its endless repetition to stop it.

Question 7

Indentation while working with blocks is not necessary in Python.

Answer

False

Reason — In Python, indentation is necessary to define a block of code within control structures
such as if, for, and while statements, as well as within functions.

Question 8

else if statement can be used in Python.

Answer

False
Reason — Python does not have an else if statement. Instead, Python uses the elif statement
to chain multiple conditional statements together.

Question 9

The if statement is a decision-making statement.

Answer

True

Reason — The if statement is a decision-making statement in Python because it allows the

program to make a decision based on a condition.

Question 10

The else block for a loop executes only in the case of normal termination of the loop.

Answer

True

Reason — In Python, the else block associated with a for loop is executed when the loop
terminates normally, meaning it has iterated over all items or reached its termination condition.

Question 11

Repeated execution of a set of statements is called iteration.

Answer

True

Reason — Iteration refers to the process of repeatedly executing a set of statements or a block of
code for a specified number of times.

Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1

A graphical representation of an algorithm to solve a given problem:

1. Flow chart
2. Pie chart
3. Bar chart
4. Column chart
Answer

Flow chart

Reason — Flow chart is defined as a graphical representation of an algorithm to solve a given

problem.

Question 2

Which of the following is not a decision-making statement?

1. if-elif statement
2. for statement
3. if-else statement
4. if statement

Answer

for statement

Reason — The for statement is not a decision-making statement in Python. Instead,

the for loop statement is used to iterate/repeat itself over a range of values or a sequence.

Question 3

The symbol used to end the if statement:

1. Semicolon (;)
2. Hyphen ( - )
3. Underscore ( _ )
4. Colon (:)

Answer

Colon (:)

Reason — The symbol used to end the if statement is colon (:).

Question 4

Which of the following is a valid keyword?

1. IF
2. If
3. if
4. None of these
Answer

if

Reason — In Python, keywords are case-sensitive, meaning they must be written exactly as
specified by the Python language. The valid keyword among the options provided is if.

Question 5

What does the following code print to console?

if True:
print (101)
else:
print (202)

1. 101
2. 202
3. 303
4. 102

Answer

101

Reason — In Python, if True: will always evaluate to True, so the code block under
the if branch will execute.

Question 6

Which of the following is not a loop statement in Python?

1. do-while
2. while
3. for
4. All of these

Answer

do-while

Reason — In Python, the do-while loop statement does not exist. The language provides only
two primary loop constructs: the for loop and the while loop, which are used to handle different
looping requirements.
Question 7

What will be the output?

x = ['ab', 'cd']
for i in x:
[Link]()
print (x)

1. ['ab', 'cd']
2. ['AB', 'CD']
3. [None, None]
4. None of these

Answer

['ab', 'cd']

Reason — In the given code, the for loop iterates over the list x containing strings 'ab' and 'cd'.
Inside the loop, [Link]() is called, which returns a new string in uppercase but doesn't
modify i itself because strings in Python are immutable. Therefore, [Link]() doesn't
change i or x in place. After the loop finishes, x remains unchanged, so the output is ['ab', 'cd'].

Question 8

Which statement is used to iterate itself over a range of values or a sequence?

1. if
2. while
3. do-while
4. for

Answer

for

Reason — The for loop statement is used to iterate/repeat itself over a range of values or a
sequence.

Question 9

Find the output of the following Python program:

for x in range(1, 20, 3):

print(x, end =',')
 1. 1,20,3,
2. 1,4,7,10,13,16,19,
3. 13,6,9,12,15,18,
4. 20,40,60,80,100,

Answer

1,4,7,10,13,16,19,

Reason — The above code uses a for loop to iterate over a sequence of numbers generated
by range(1, 20, 3). This range starts at 1, ends before 20, and increments by 3 in each step.
During each iteration, the current value of x is printed followed by a comma due to
the end=',' parameter in the print function. Therefore, the output is 1,4,7,10,13,16,19, showing
the sequence of numbers separated by commas.

Question 10

if statement comes in which category of statements?

1. Sequential statements
2. Conditional statements.
3. Iterative statements
4. Loop statement

Answer

Conditional statements.

Reason — The if statement is a conditional statement because it is used to control flow of

execution of a program depending upon the condition.
Assertions and Reasons

Question 1

Assertion (A): When a set of statements is indented under the same block, starting from the
same indentation, it is said to be a compound statement.

Reasoning (R): Compound Statement begins with a header ending with a colon (:) sign and the
statements under the same indentation are marked as a block.

1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is true but R is false.
4. A is false but R is true.
Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation
A compound statement in Python is formed when multiple statements are grouped together under
the same block of indentation. The header line begins with a keyword and ends with a colon (:).
Subsequent statements that are indented under the same level are considered part of the block.

Question 2

Assertion (A): The conditional flow of control is implemented using if statement.

Reasoning (R): A statement or statements (block of code) are indented (usually 4 spaces) inside
the if statement and are executed only if the condition evaluates to true, otherwise they are
ignored.

1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is true but R is false.
4. A is false but R is true.

Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation
The if statement in Python allows conditional flow of control. It evaluates a condition and
executes one or more statements based on whether the condition is true or false. If the condition
evaluates to true, the statement block following the if statement (indented code) gets executed,
otherwise, if the condition is false, that block is skipped, and the program continues with the next
statement after the if block.

Question 3

Assertion (A): In an if-else statement, the if block checks the true part whereas else checks for
the false part.

Reasoning (R): In a conditional construct, else block is mandatory.

1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is true but R is false.
4. A is false but R is true.

Answer
A is true but R is false.

Explanation
In an if-else statement, the if block checks if a condition is true and will execute a block of
statements and if the condition is false, it won't execute that block. The else part executes a
block of code when the if condition is false. In a conditional construct, the else block is not
mandatory.

Question 4

Assertion (A): When a Python code is unable to accept an input, it results in runtime error.

Reasoning (R): Runtime error arises due to incorrect statement that results in no output.

1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is true but R is false.
4. A is false but R is true.

Answer

A is true but R is false.

Explanation
When a Python code is unable to accept an input, it results in a runtime error. Runtime errors
arise due to issues that occur while the program is running, such as attempting to use invalid
operations on data types. In contrast, syntax error arises due to incorrect statement that results in
no output.

Question 5

Assertion (A): The break and continue statements are known as jump statements.

Reasoning (R): Jump statements are used only with looping constructs and not with conditional
constructs.

1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is true but R is false.
4. A is false but R is true.

Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation
In Python, break and continue are categorized as jump statements because they alter the flow of
control in loops. Jump statements, such as break and continue, are used within loop constructs to
control the flow of execution. Python does not have a switch-case conditional construct. Hence,
in Python, jump statements are not used with conditional constructs.

Question 6

Assertion (A): The range() method is used with both for and while loops.

Reasoning (R): By default, the values for start and step are 0 (zero) and 1 (one), respectively.

1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is true but R is false.
4. A is false but R is true.

Answer

A is false but R is true.

Explanation
The range() function is used with for loops to iterate over a sequence of numbers, not
with while loops. By default, the values for start and step are 0 (zero) and 1 (one), respectively.

Question 7

Assertion (A): The for loop is described as finite loop and while loop is described as unknown
or indefinite iterative construct.

Reasoning (R): You cannot use while loop for menu-driven programs.

1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is true but R is false.
4. A is false but R is true.

Answer

A is true but R is false.

Explanation
The for loop is described as a finite loop because it iterates over a sequence of elements with a
known length. The while loop is described as an indefinite iterative construct because it
continues to execute as long as a condition is true, without a predetermined number of iterations.
We can use a while loop for menu-driven programs to repeatedly display a menu and process
user input until a certain condition is met.

Question 8

Assertion (A): Indentation is a very important factor while writing a program in Python.

Reasoning (R): Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line. Multiple
statements with the same indent are classified as a block of code.

1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
3. A is true but R is false.
4. A is false but R is true.

Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation
Indentation is a very important factor while writing a program in Python because it defines the
structure and grouping of code blocks. Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code
line, and multiple statements with the same indent level are classified as a block of code.

Solutions to Unsolved Questions

Question 1

What are compound statements?

Answer

A compound statement is a statement which comprises of a group of statements. The compound

statements usually execute when a condition is satisfied, or a code block is called directly or
through a function call.

Question 2

Construct a logical expression to represent each of the following conditions:

(a) Marks are greater than or equal to 70 but less than 100.

(b) Num is between 0 and 5 but not equal to 2.

(c) Answer is either 'N' OR 'n'.

(d) Age is greater than or equal to 18 and gender is male.

(e) City is either 'Kolkata' or 'Mumbai'.

Answer

(a) (marks >= 70) and (marks < 100)

(b) (num > 0) and (num < 5) and (num != 2)
(c) (answer == 'N') or (answer == 'n')
(d) (age >= 18) and (gender == 'male')
(e) (city == 'Kolkata') or (city == 'Mumbai')

Question 3

Find error in the following code (if any) and correct it by rewriting the code and underline the
corrections:

code=input ("Enter season code : ")

if code=w:
print "winter season"
elif code==r:
PRINT "rainy season"
else:
Print "summer season"
Answer

code = input("Enter season code : ")

if code=w: #Error 1
print "winter season" #Error 2
elif code==r: #Error 3
PRINT "rainy season" #Error 4
else:
Print "summer season" # Error 5
Error 1 — The assignment operator '=' is used instead of equality operator '==' in
the if statement and the string 'w' should be enclosed in quotes.
Error 2 — Parentheses around the print statement are missing.

Error 3 — String 'r' should be enclosed in quotes.

Error 4 — The print statement should be in lowercase letters and there should be parentheses
around the print statement.

Error 5 — The print statement should be in lowercase letters and there should be parentheses
around the print statement.

The corrected code is :

code = input("Enter season code: ")
if code == "w":
print("winter season")
elif code == "r":
print("rainy season")
else:
print("summer season")

Question 4(a)

Give the output of the following when num1 = 4, num2 = 3, num3 = 2.

num1 += num2 + num3

print(num1)
Answer

Output

Explanation

In the above code, num1 += num2 + num3 is a shorthand notation for num1 = num1 + num2 +
num3.
Given,

num1 = 4
num2 = 3
num3 = 2
First, the expression num2 + num3 is evaluated:
num2 + num3 = 3 + 2 = 5
Now the expression becomes:

num1 = num1 + 5
which translates to:

num1 = 4 + 5 = 9

Question 4(b)

Give the output of the following when num1 = 4, num2 = 3, num3 = 2.

num1 = num1 ** (num2 + num3)

print (num1)
Answer
Output

1024

Explanation

In the given code, num1 = num1 ** (num2 + num3) calculates the result of raising num1 to the
power of the sum of num2 and num3. The expression becomes 4 ** (3 + 2), which simplifies to 4
** 5. Evaluating 4 ** 5 results in 1024, so the output of print(num1) is 1024.

Question 4(c)

Give the output of the following when num1 = 4, num2 = 3, num3 = 2.

num1 **= num2 + c

print (num1)
Answer

There is an error in the given code because the variable c is not defined. This will raise a
NameError at runtime.

Question 4(d)

Give the output of the following when num1 = 4, num2 = 3, num3 = 2.

num1 = '5' + '5'

print (num1)
Answer

Output

55

Explanation

The expression '5' + '5' performs string concatenation as they are enclosed in quotes.
Therefore, '5' and '5' are concatenated to form the string '55', which is then assigned to num1.
The print(num1) statement outputs the string '55'.

Question 4(e)

Give the output of the following when num1 = 4, num2 = 3, num3 = 2.

print(4.00 / (2.0+2.0))
Answer
Output

1.0

Explanation

1. Evaluate the expression inside the parentheses first:

2.0 + 2.0
This calculation is straightforward:

2.0 + 2.0 = 4.0

2. Perform the division operation:

4.00 / 4.0 = 1.0

3. Print the result:

print(1.0)
Therefore, the output of the given code snippet is:

1.0

Question 4(f)

Give the output of the following when num1 = 4, num2 = 3, num3 = 2.

num1 = 2 + 9 * ((3*12)-8)/10
print(num1)
Answer

Output

27.2

Explanation

num1 = 2 + 9 * ((3*12)-8)/10
Let's calculate this step by step, following the precedence of operators in Python:

1. Evaluate the innermost parentheses first:

3 * 12 = 36
2. Replace and continue evaluating inside the parentheses:

((3*12)-8) => (36 - 8) = 28

3. Now, evaluate the multiplication and division:
9 * 28 = 252
4. Continue with dividing by 10:

252 / 10 = 25.2
5. Finally, add 2:

2 + 25.2 = 27.2
The print(num1) statement outputs 27.2

Question 4(g)

Give the output of the following when num1 = 4, num2 = 3, num3 = 2.

num1 = float(10)
print(num1)
Answer

Output

10.0

Explanation

The float(10) function converts the integer 10 to the floating-point number 10.0.
Therefore, num1 is assigned the value 10.0.

Question 4(h)

Give the output of the following when num1 = 4, num2 = 3, num3 = 2.

num1 = int('3.14')
print(num1)
Answer

The code will raise a Error because we cannot convert the string '3.14' to an integer directly
using int() function in Python due to the presence of a decimal point. Python expects the string
to represent a whole number when converting to an integer.

Question 4(i)

Give the output of the following:

print (10 != 9 and 20 >= 20)

Answer
Output

True

Explanation

The expression 10 != 9 and 20 >= 20 evaluates to True because both conditions separated by
the and operator are true. Specifically, 10 != 9 is true because 10 is not equal to 9, and 20 >=
20 is true because 20 is equal to 20.

Question 4(j)

Give the output of the following:

print(5 % 10 + 10 < 50 and 29 <= 29)

Answer

Output

True

Explanation

In the expression 5 % 10 + 10 < 50 and 29 <= 29, according to operator precedence, 5 % 10

calculates to 5, then 5 + 10 equals 15. Next, 15 < 50 evaluates to True. Separately, 29 <= 29 also
evaluates to True. The and operator then combines these results. Since both conditions are True,
the and operator yields True, which is printed.

Question 5

What is the difference between else and elif constructs of if statement?

Answer

The else statement is a default condition that executes when the preceding if and elif (if any)
conditions evaluate to False. It does not take any conditions and is written simply as else:,
followed by an indented block of code. On the other hand, elif is used to check additional
conditions after the initial if statement. If the if condition is False, Python evaluates
the elif condition. It is followed by a condition and ends with a colon (:), followed by a block
of code.

Question 6(a)

Find the output of the following program segment:

for i in range(20, 30, 2):

 print(i)
Answer

Output

20
22
24
26
28

Explanation

Below is a detailed explanation of this code:

1. range(20, 30, 2): This generates a sequence of numbers starting from 20 (inclusive)
up to but not including 30 (exclusive), incrementing by 2 each time.
The general form of the range function is range(start, stop, step),where:
o start is the starting number of the sequence.
o stop is the endpoint (the number is not included in the sequence).
o step specifies the increment between each number in the sequence.
2. for i in range(20, 30, 2):: The for loop iterates over each number generated by
the range function and assigns it to the variable i during each iteration.
3. print(i): This prints the current value of i for each iteration.
Let's list the numbers generated by range(20, 30, 2):

 Start at 20.
 Increment by 2: 20 + 2 = 22.
 Increment by 2: 22 + 2 = 24.
 Increment by 2: 24 + 2 = 26.
 Increment by 2: 26 + 2 = 28.
 The next increment would be 28 + 2 = 30, but 30 is not included as the stop parameter is
exclusive of the value.

Therefore, the sequence of numbers is: 20, 22, 24, 26, 28.

Question 6(b)

Find the output of the following program segment:

country = 'INDIA'
for i in country:
print (i)
Answer
Output

I
N
D
I
A

Explanation

Here's the detailed explanation:

1. String Assignment:

country = 'INDIA'
This line assigns the string 'INDIA' to the variable country.
2. for i in country:: The for loop iterates over each character in the string country. The
variable i will take on the value of each character in the string one at a time.
3. print(i): This prints the current character stored in the variable i for each iteration.
Let’s analyze the loop iteration by iteration:

 In the first iteration, i is 'I', so print(i) outputs: I.

 In the second iteration, i is 'N', so print(i) outputs: N.
 In the third iteration, i is 'D', so print(i) outputs: D.
 In the fourth iteration, i is 'I', so print(i) outputs: I.
 In the fifth iteration, i is 'A', so print(i) outputs: A.

Putting it all together, the output will be each character of the string 'INDIA' printed on a new
line:
I
N
D
I
A

Question 6(c)

Find the output of the following program segment:

i = 0; sum = 0
while i < 9:
if i % 4 == 0:
sum = sum + i
i = i + 2
print (sum)
Answer
Output

12

Explanation

Let's break down the code step-by-step:

1. Initial Assignments:

i = 0
sum = 0
Two variables are initialized: i is set to 0, and sum is set to 0.
2. while i < 9: → This loop continues to execute as long as i is less than 9.
3. Inside the while loop:

 First iteration (i = 0):

o if i % 4 == 0: → 0 % 4 equals 0, so the condition is true.
o sum = sum + i → sum is updated to sum + 0, which is 0 + 0 = 0.
o i = i + 2 → i is updated to 0 + 2 = 2.

 Second iteration (i = 2):

o if i % 4 == 0: → 2 % 4 equals 2, so the condition is false.
o The value of sum remains unchanged.
o i = i + 2 → i is updated to 2 + 2 = 4.

 Third iteration (i = 4):

o if i % 4 == 0: → 4 % 4 equals 0, so the condition is true.
o sum = sum + i → sum is updated to sum + 4, which is 0 + 4 = 4.
o i = i + 2 → i is updated to 4 + 2 = 6.

 Fourth iteration (i = 6):

o if i % 4 == 0: → 6 % 4 equals 2, so the condition is false.
o The value of sum remains unchanged.
o i = i + 2 → i is updated to 6 + 2 = 8.

 Fifth iteration (i = 8):

o if i % 4 == 0: → 8 % 4 equals 0, so the condition is true.
o sum = sum + i → sum is updated to sum + 8, which is 4 + 8 = 12.
o i = i + 2 → i is updated to 8 + 2 = 10.

 Sixth iteration (i = 10):

o The loop condition while i < 9: is no longer true (10 is not less than 9), so the
loop terminates.

4. print(sum) → After exiting the loop, the value of sum is printed.

Summarizing all updates to sum:
  After the first iteration, sum = 0.
 After the third iteration, sum = 4.
 After the fifth iteration, sum = 12.

Therefore, the output of the code is:

12

Question 7(a)

Write the output of the following:

for i in '123' :
print ("Message",i,)
Answer

Output

Message 1
Message 2
Message 3

Explanation

The code uses a for loop to iterate over each character in the string '123'. During each iteration,
it prints the string "Message" followed by the current character i.

Question 7(b)

Write the output of the following:

for i in [100,200,300] :
print (i)
Answer

Output

100
200
300

Explanation

The above code iterates through each element in the list [100, 200, 300] using a for loop. During
each iteration, it prints the current element i.
Question 7(c)

Write the output of the following:

for j in range (10,6,-2) :

print (j*2)
Answer

Output

20
16

Explanation

1. range(10, 6, -2): This generates a sequence of numbers starting from 10 (inclusive) and
decreases by 2 each time, stopping before it reaches 6 (exclusive).
The general form of the range function is range(start, stop, step), where:

 start is the starting number of the sequence.

 stop is the endpoint (the number is not included in the sequence).
 step specifies the increment (or decrement, if negative) between each number in the
sequence.

2. The sequence generated by range(10, 6, -2) is:

 Start at 10.
 Decrement by 2: 10 - 2 = 8.
 The next decrement would be 8 - 2 = 6, but 6 is not included as it is exclusive.

So, the sequence generated is: 10, 8.

3. for j in range(10, 6, -2):: The for loop iterates over each number in the sequence
generated by the range function.
4. print(j * 2): This prints the value of j multiplied by 2 for each iteration.
Let’s analyze the loop iteration by iteration:

First iteration (j = 10):

print(10 * 2)
This prints:

20
Second iteration (j = 8):

print(8 * 2)
This prints:
16
Putting it all together, the full output will be:

20

3 3
4 1
4 2
4 3
4 4
5 1
5 2
5 3
5 4
5 5

Explanation

Below is the detailed explanation of this code:

1. Outer Loop: for x in range(1, 6):

 This loop iterates over the range of numbers starting from 1 up to but not including 6. So, x will
take on the values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

2. Inner Loop: for y in range(1, x + 1):

 For each value of x in the outer loop, y will iterate over the range of numbers starting from 1 up
to and including x (since x + 1 is exclusive).
3. print(x, ' ', y)

 This prints the current values of x and y separated by a space.

Let’s analyze the loops iteration by iteration.

Outer loop (x values ranging from 1 to 5):

When x = 1:

 The inner loop range(1, 2) results in y taking values: 1.

 Output:
1 1
When x = 2:

 The inner loop range(1, 3) results in y taking values: 1, 2.

 Output:
 2 1
 2 2
When x = 3:

 The inner loop range(1, 4) results in y taking values: 1, 2, 3.

 Output:
 3 1
 3 2
 3 3
When x = 4:

 The inner loop range(1, 5) results in y taking values: 1, 2, 3, 4.

 Output:
 4 1
 4 2
 4 3
 4 4
When x = 5:

 The inner loop range(1, 6) results in y taking values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

 Output:
 5 1
 5 2
 5 3
 5 4
 5 5
Putting all these outputs together, we get:

1 1

Question 7(e)

Write the output of the following:

for x in range (10, 20):

if (x == 15):
break
print(x)
Answer

Output

10
11
12
13
14

Explanation

The code starts a for loop where x iterates over the range from 10 to 19. Within each iteration, it
checks if x is equal to 15. If true, the break statement exits the loop. Therefore, the loop prints
numbers from 10 to 14, each on a new line.

Question 7(f)

Write the output of the following:

for x in range (10, 20):

if (x % 2 == 0):
continue
print (x)
Answer

Output

11
13
15
17
19

Explanation

Below is the detailed explanation of this code:

1. for x in range(10, 20): → This loop iterates over the range of numbers starting
from 10 (inclusive) up to but not including 20 (exclusive). So, x will take on the values:
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
2. if x % 2 == 0: → For each value of x, this condition checks if x is an even number.
The modulus operator % returns the remainder of x divided by 2. If the remainder is 0, x is
even.
3. continue → If the condition x % 2 == 0 is true (i.e., x is even), the continue statement
is executed. This statement skips the rest of the code inside the loop for the current
iteration and moves to the next iteration.
4. print(x) → This line prints the value of x if it is not even (i.e., if
the continue statement is not executed).
Let’s analyze the loop iteration by iteration:

 When x = 10:
o 10 % 2 == 0 is true.
o continue is executed, so print(x) is skipped.
 When x = 11:
o 11 % 2 == 0 is false.
o print(x) outputs:
o 11
 When x = 12:
o 12 % 2 == 0 is true.
o continue is executed, so print(x) is skipped.
 When x = 13:
o 13 % 2 == 0 is false.
o print(x) outputs:
o 13
 When x = 14:
o 14 % 2 == 0 is true.
o continue is executed, so print(x) is skipped.
 When x = 15:
o 15 % 2 == 0 is false.
 o print(x) outputs:
o 15
 When x = 16:
o 16 % 2 == 0 is true.
o continue is executed, so print(x) is skipped.
 When x = 17:
o 17 % 2 == 0 is false.
o print(x) outputs:
o 17
 When x = 18:
o 18 % 2 == 0 is true.
o continue is executed, so print(x) is skipped.
 When x = 19:
o 19 % 2 == 0 is false.
o print(x) outputs:
o 19
Putting all these outputs together, the full output will be:

Question 8

Write the output of the following program on execution if x = 50:

if x > 10:
if x > 25:
print ( 'ok' )
if x > 60:
print ( 'good' )
elif x > 40:
print ( 'average' )
else:
print ('no output')
Answer

Output

ok
average
Explanation

1. if x > 10:
o The condition checks if x is greater than 10.
o Since x = 50, which is greater than 10, this condition is true.
2. Nested if x > 25:
o Since the outer condition is true, the program proceeds to this nested condition, which
checks if x is greater than 25.
o Since x = 50, which is greater than 25, this condition is also true.
o Consequently, it prints ok
3. Nested if x > 60:
o After printing 'ok', the program checks this nested condition, which verifies if x is
greater than 60.
o Since x = 50, which is not greater than 60, this condition is false.
o Therefore, the program proceeds to the elif part.
4. Nested elif x > 40:
o This condition checks if x is greater than 40.
o Since x = 50, which is greater than 40, this condition is true.
o Consequently, it prints average
5. The else block
o The else block is not executed because the elif x > 40: condition was true.

Question 9

Write the output of the following code:

for i in range (2) :

for j in range (1) :
if i+2 == j:
print ("+",end=" ")
else:
print ("o",end=" ")
Answer

Output

o o

Explanation

Let’s break down the code step-by-step:

1. Outer Loop: for i in range(2): → This loop iterates over the range of numbers
starting from 0 up to but not including 2. So, i will take on the values: 0, 1.
 2. Inner Loop: for j in range(1): → For each value of i in the outer loop, j will
iterate over the range of numbers starting from 0 up to but not including 1. So, j will take
on the only value: 0.
3. if i + 2 == j: → This condition checks if i + 2 is equal to j.
4. print("+", end=" ") → If the condition i + 2 == j is true, this statement prints a
"+", followed by a space, without moving to a new line.
5. print("o", end=" ") → If the condition i + 2 == j is false, this statement prints an
"o", followed by a space, without moving to a new line.
Let’s analyze the loops iteration by iteration:

 First iteration of the outer loop (i = 0):

o Inner loop (j = 0):
 i + 2 == j becomes 0 + 2 == 0, which is 2 == 0, is false.
 Therefore, the else block is executed, and the output is o
 Second iteration of the outer loop (i = 1):
o Inner loop (j = 0):
 i + 2 == j becomes 1 + 2 == 0, which is 3 == 0, is false.
 Therefore, the else block is executed, and the output is o

So, combining the outputs of all iterations, the full output will be:

o o
Each "o" is followed by a space, and there is no new line between them due to the end="
" parameter in the print function.
