Unit I: Computational Thinking and Programming – 2
Revision of Python
Token : Smallest Individual unit in a program is known as Token. Python has following tokens:
 Keywords
 Identifiers
 Literals
 Operators
Keywords : Keywords are the words that have special meaning reserved by programming
language. They are reserved for special purpose and cannot be used for normal identifier names.
E.g. in, if, break, class, and, continue, True, False.
Identifiers : Dentifiers are fundamental building block of a program. They are names given to
variable, functions, objects classes etc. Python is case sensitive i.e. it treats upper case and lower
case letter differently.
Naming Conventions:
• Contain A-Z, a-z, _
• Name should not start with digit
• It can start with alphabet or ( _ ) underscore
Literals : Literals are data items that have fixed value. Python allows several kinds of literals:
• String literals
• Numeric literals
• Boolean literals
• Special Literal None
• The text enclosed in single or double quotes.
• There is no character literal.
• Example „a‟, „anant‟, “HelloWorld”
• Python allows non-graphic characters in string values.
• Non-graphic characters are represented using escape sequence.\n for newline, \t

tab space, \r carriage return
• Integer: positive negative numbers without decimal
• Floating Point: Real numbers with decimal points
• Complex Number: are in form a+bj, where a and b are floating point numbers and
j is
√-1. Where a is real part and b is imaginary part.
• True and False are the two Boolean Literals
• Special literal None represent absence of value
• None also indicates end of List
• They are built-in constant literals of Python
Operators:
Operators are the symbol, which triggers some computation when applied on operand.
Unary Operator: those operators that require only one operand.
• Unary Plus +
• Unary Minus –
• Bitwise ~ Complement
• Logical Negation not

Binary Operator: those operators that require only two operand.
• Arithmetic Operator (+,-,*,/,%)
• Bitwise Operator (&, ^, |)
• Shift Operator (>> ,<<)
• Identity Operator (is , is not)
• Relational operator (<,>,<=,>=,==,!=)
• Logical operator (and ,or)
• Whether variable in sequence(in)
• Whether variable not in sequence (not in)
Punctuators : are the symbols used in programming language to organise the statements of the
program.
• Common Punctuators are „ “ # \ ( ) [ ] { } @ , : . =
Identifier :
Named Label whose value can be changed and processed during the program run
• Creating Variable :
Name=„Anant‟
Age=30
• Python do not have fixed memory locations, when the value changes they change
their location
• lvalue: expression that can come on lhs of an assignment.
• Rvalue: expression that can come on rhs of anvaraible
• The process in which the variable pointing to a value of certain type,can be made to
point to the value of other type.
age=10 print(age)
age=“ten”
print(age)
type( ) function is used to determine the type of object.
Dynamic Typing:
In Dynamic Typing the datatype attached with the variable can change during the program run
whereas in Static Typing the data type defined for the first time is fixed for the variable.
• Python Support Dynamic Typing
• Python allows Multiple assignments.
• Assign same value to multiple variables.
x = y = z = 20
here x, y, z has same value 20
• Assign multiple values to multiple variables.
x , y , z = 20, 40, 60
• Variable is created or defined when the first value is assigned to it.
• Variable is not created until some value is assigned to it.
• input( ): function is used for taking value for a variable during runtime.
• To overcome the above error we need to convert the string type object to integer or
any desired numeric type.
• input( ) function always returns a value of string type.
• Use int( ) or float( ) function to convert the type string to int and float respectively.
• When converting variable to int/float we need to make sure that the value entered is
of int/float type.
• If we enter rashmi for age then rashmi cannot be converted to int.print statement has
number of features
Automatic conversion of items to string type. Inserting space between items automatically as
default value of sep (separator) is space. It appends a newline at the end of the each print
Data Types : Python offers five built-in core data types
• Numbers(int, float, complex)
• String
• List
• Tuples
• Dictionary
Integers
• Integers Signed: positive and negative integers(Whole Numbers)
• Boolean: Truth Values False(0)/bool(0) and True(1) /bool(1)
• Floating Point Numbers: precision of 15 digits possible in Python
• Fractional Form: Normal Decimal Form, e.g. 325.89, 300.845
• Exponent Notation: Represents real numbers for measurable quantities. E.g.

3.500789E05, 1.568789E09, 0.254E-07
Complex Numbers: Python represents complex numbers as a pair of floating point numbers. E.g.
A+Bj. J is used as the imaginary part which has value √-1.
• a=1.6+4j real part=1.6 imaginary component=4
• b=0+5.2j real part=0 imaginary component=5.2
a.real and b.real gives the real part
a.imag and b.imag gives the imaginary part
String:
• Any number of valid characters within quotation marks.
• It can hold any type of known characters like alphabets, numbers, special characters
etc.
• Legal String in Python are “Raman”, „rocket‟, “we2345@”,”%&$#”
• String as a sequence of Characters

– String is stored as individual characters in contiguous location
Forward Indexing
– Length of the string can be determined using len(string)
Backward Indexing
– Individual letter of a string cannot be changed beca.use the String is immutable.
name=„hello‟
name*2+=„g‟ name=„Computer‟
# Not Possible
#Possible , we can assign string to another string
List: List in Python represents a list of comma-separated values of any data type between square
brackets. Mutable Data Type [1,2,3,4,5]
Tuples:In Python represents a list of comma-separated values of any data type between round
brackets. Immutable Data Type
T=(1,2,3,4,5) A=(„a‟, „b‟,‟c‟,‟d‟)
B=(„rat‟, „bat‟, „cat‟, ‟dog‟)
Dictionary: in Python represents unordered set of comma-separated key : value pair within { },
with the requirement that within a dictionary, no two keys can be the same.
A={a‟:1, „b‟:2,‟c‟:3,‟d‟:4}
The immutable types: are those that can never change their value inplace.Immutable Data Types
are
– Integer
– Floating Point Number
– Boolean
– String
– Tuples
Mutable types : are those whose values can be changed in place. Mutable Data Types are :
– List
– Dictionary
– Sets
Thus Mutability means that in the same memory address, new value can be stored as and when
you want.
Expression:
• Expression is the valid combination of operators, literals and variables.
• Expression is formed by atoms and operators.
• Atoms are something which has value. E.g. Literals, identifier, string, list, tuples, sets
and dictionary etc.
• Types of Expression
o Arithmetic Expression: a+5-6
o Relational Expression: x>90
o Logical Expression: a>b or 6<p
o String Expression: “computer” + “science”, “web” *3

Type conversion:
During evaluation if the operands are of same data type then the resultant will be of the data
type which is common.
• Incase, during evaluation if the operand are of different data type then the resultant
will be of the data type of the largest operand. We need to promote all the operand
to the largest type through type promotion.
Implicit Type Conversion:
Implicit conversion is performed by the compiler without programmer’s intervention.
• Division operator will result in floating point number, even if both operands are
integer type.
• Python internally changes the data type of some oper and, so that all oper and have
same data type. This is called Implicit Type Conversion.
Explicit Type Conversion/Type Casting : user defined conversion that forces an expression to be
of specific type.
Type casting is done by <datatype> (expression)
• Amt= int(amount)
• Different data types are int(), float(), complex(), str(), bool()
Statement : Smallest executable unit of the program. These are instructions given to the
computer to perform any kind of action, data movement, decision making, repeating actions etc.
They are of three types
• Empty Statement : Statement which does nothing. In Python empty statement is a

pass statement.
• Simple Statement : Any single executable statement is a simple statement.
• Compound Statement : Group of Statement executed as a unit. It has a headerline

and a body.
o Header line : It begins with the keyword and ends with a colon.
o Body : consist of one or more Python statements, indented inside header line. All
Statement are at same level of indentation.
In Python, if Statement is used for decision making. It will run the body of code only when IF
statement is true. When you want to justify one condition while the other condition is not true,
then you use "if statement".
Syntax:
if expression
Statement
Example:
a = 33
b = 200
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
Example:
a = 33
b = 200
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
else:
print(“a is greater than b")
By using "elif" : condition, you are telling the program to print out the third condition or
possibility when the other condition goes wrong or incorrect.
x,y =8,8
if(x < y):
st= "x is less than y"
elif (x == y):
st= "x is same as y"
else:
print(st)
st="x is greater than y"

There are many situations when we need to repeat certain task or functions some given number
of times or based on certain condition.
Loop:
• Loops can execute a block of code number of times until a certain condition is met.
Their usage is fairly common in programming. Unlike other programming language
that have For Loop, while loop, do while, etc.
To carry out repetitive task python provides following looping/iterative statements:
• Conditional Loop while
• Counting Loop for
o The range( ) function of Python generates a list which is special sequence type.
o Range function works in three forms:
• range( lower limit, upper limit)
range( l, u) will give l, l+1, l+2 u-1
range(3,7) will give 3,4,5,6 range(13,7) will give empty list
Default step value is +1
– range( lower limit, upper limit, step value) range( l, u, s) will give l, l+s, l+2s………….u-1
range(3,17,3) will give 3,6,9,12,15 range(13,7,2) will give 13,11,9,7
– Range(number)
range( n) will give 0,1,2………….n-1 range(7) will give 0,1,2,3,4,5,6
in operator tests if a given value is contained in a sequence or not and return True or False.
Syntax:
for<variable> in <sequence>:
statements to repeat
Example:
Syntax:
while <logical expression> :
loop body
Anatomy of a while loop
1. Initialization
2. Test Expression
3. The Body of loop
4. Update Expression
Both the loops of Python has else clause. The else of a loop executes only when the loop end
normally( i.e. only when the loop is ending because the while loop’s test condition has become
false and for loop has executed the last sequence)
Jump Satement:
break and continue
• The break statement in Python terminates the current loop and resumes execution at
the next.
• The continue statement in Python returns the control to the beginning of the while
loop. The continue statement rejects all the remaining statements in the current
iteration of the loop and moves the control back to the top of the loop.
Nested Loop: One loop inside another loop

String:-
String is a sequence of characters, which is enclosed between either single (' ') or double
quotes (" "), python treats both single and double quotes same.
Creating string:-
Creation of string in python is very easy.
e.g. a=‘Computer Science'
b=input(“Enter string”)
String slicing:
It refers to part of string containing some contiguous character from the string.
e.g.
code='Computer Science‘ OUTPUT
print(‘code-', code) ('code-', 'Computer Science')
print('code[0]-', code[0]) ('code[0]-', 'C')
Iterating/Traversing through string
Each character of the string can be accessed one character at a time using for loop.
Eg :
code='Computer Science‘
for i in code:
print(i, end=” “)  c o m p u t e r

LIST-
The list is a collection of items of different data types. It is an ordered sequence of items
Features of Python List

Lists are mutable ie values in the list can be modified or changed.
Each element of a sequence is assigned a number - its position or index. The first index is zero,
the second index is one, and so forth.
The values that make up a list are called its elements. Elements are separated by comma and
enclosed in square brackets [].
Syntax of List
list = [value1, value2, value3,...valueN]
names=[“Naman", “Anu", “Nikhil", "Mohan"]
Lists

Val[1:6:2] ‘opt’ Items 1,3,5
Val[3:] ‘puter’ Items 3 to end
Val[:5] ‘compu’ Items 0 to 4
Val[-3:] ‘ter’ Last 3 items
Val[:-2] ‘comput’ All except last 2 items

Python Expression Results Exp’computlanation
len([1, 2, 3]) 3 Items 1 to 3
[1, 2, 3] + [4, 5, 6] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Items 1,3,5
['Hi!'] * 4 ['Hi!', 'Hi!', 'Hi!', 'Hi!'] Items 3 to end
2 in [1, 2, 3] True Items 0 to 4
for x in [1, 2, 3]: 123 Last 3 items
print x,
Nested Lists:-
L3=3,4,[5,6,7],8]
A list can have an element in it, which itself is a list. Such a list is called a nested list
Built in Functions:
Python includes following list methods
Sr.No. Methods with Description
1 list.append(obj) Appends object obj to list
2 list.count(obj) Returns count of how many times obj occurs in list
3 list.extend(seq) Appends the contents of seq to list
4 list.index(obj) Returns the lowest index in list that obj appears
5 list.insert(index, obj) Inserts object obj into list at offset index
6 list.pop(obj=list[-1]) Removes and returns last object or obj from list
7 list.remove(obj) Removes object obj from list

8 list.reverse() Reverses objects of list in place
9 list.sort([func]) Sorts objects of list, use compare func if given

Python includes the following list functions:
Sr.No. Function with Description
1 cmp(list1, list2) Compares elements of both lists.
2 len(list) Gives the total length of the list.
3 max(list) Returns item from the list with max value.
4 min(list) Returns item from the list with min value.
5 list(seq) Converts a tuple into list.
Tuple:- Tuple is a collection of values separated by comma and enclosed in parenthesis. Unlike
lists, tuples are immutable
Creation of Tuple:
Accessing a Tuple
Tuple Operations
Tuple Slicing
Dictionary:
A dictionary in Python is an unordered set of key: value pairs.
Unlike lists, dictionaries are inherently order less. The key: value pairs appear to be in a certain
order but it is irrelevant.
Each KEY must be unique, but the VALUES may be the same for two or more keys.
If you assign a value to a key then later in the same dictionary have the same key assigned to a
new value, the previous value will be overwritten.
Instead of using a number to index the items (as you would in a list), you must use the specific
key.

FUNCTION
Functions are the most important building blocks for any application in python and work on the
divide and conquer approach.
A function is a sub program of a large program/application that accept some data and return a
value, where each function performing a specific tasks.
A function is a group of statements to perform a specific task.
The use of functions makes a program easy to Read, Write, Understand, Manage and Debug.
Functions are line of codes that executed sequentially from top to bottom by the python
interpreter.
A Python function is written once but can be called any number of times.
Functions are also called routines, sub-routines, procedures or methods.
Types of Functions in python
Functions can be divided in following three categories in Python:
Built-in Functions:
Functions in Modules:
User-defined Functions:
User Defined Functions:
User Defined Functions are the functions created or defined by the user using “def” (keyword)
statement followed by Function name and Parenthesis.
A UDF can be called any number of times in a program whenever required.
Syntax to define a user defined function:
def <function_name> ( [ parameters] ): # def is a keyword
statement1 # parameters are optional
statement2 # function name is an identifier
-----------------------------------
return <value> # here return is a keyword
Example:
def area_of_circle( radius ):
print(“Area of circle = “, 3.1416*radius*radius)
r=int(input(“Enter radius of circle”))
area_of_circle(r)
output:
Enter radius of circle 10
Area of circle = 314.16
Points about User Defined Functions:
Every User Defined Function start with the Keyword def.
The first line of the function is called Function Definition.
Function name must follow norms of valid identifier.
Every function header end with parenthesis and colon sign followed by function name
We can provide parameters inside parenthesis, which is optional.
The return statement is used to return a value from function. The return statement is also
optional. The function should return a value only at the place from where it get’s called.
To use a function, it must be called or invoked in main program.
Type of user defined functions:
The user defined functions can be categorized in following 4 categories:
1.Function which accept arguments and return some value
2.Function which accept arguments but return no value
3.Functions which do not accept any argument but return some value
4.Functions which do not accept any argument and even not return any value
Parameters/Arguments passed to functions: These are the values passed to user defined
functions from the calling function.
If you are passing values of immutable types (i.e., numbers, strings,etc) to the Called function,
then the called function cannot alter their values.
If you are passing values of mutable types (i.e., List, Dictionary, etc) to the Called function, then
the called function can make changes to them.
They are categorized in following two types:
Formal Parameters or Formal Arguments: These are the values provided in Parenthesis when we
write a function Header.
Actual Parameters or Actual Arguments: These are the values passed to the function when it is
called/invoked.
Example:
def area_of_circle( radius ): # here radius is the Formal Parameter or Formal Argument
print(“Area of circle = “,3.1416*radius*radius)
r=int(input(“Enter radius of circle”))
ar=area_of_circle(r) # here r is the Actual Parameter or Actual Argument
output:
Enter radius of circle 10
Area of circle = 314.16
Types of Arguments:
In Python following four types of arguments allowed:
Positional Arguments
Default Arguments
Keyword Arguments
Variable length Arguments
FUNCTIONS RETURNING VALUES:
The return statement in python specifies what value to be returned back to the calling function.
The Functions can take input values as parameters, process them and return output to the calling
function.
In python the return statement can return one or more values at a time.
The “return” is a keyword in python.
If the return statement is without an expression, the special value None is returned.
The function will return None in case we don’t explicitly give a return statement in function.
Example:
def Max_Two(X, Y):
if X>Y:
return X
else:
return Y
print(“Maximum value = “, Max_Two(25, 56))
Output:
Maximum value = 56

FUNCTIONS
The Python has a number of built-in functions. They are loaded automatically as a shell starts
and are always available, such as
input() , print(), int(), float(), complex(),list(), tuple(), set() etc.
A categorized list of some of the frequently used built-in functions in Python:
I/O Functions: input(), print()

Datatype Conversion: bool(), chr(), dict(), float(), int(), list(), ord(), set(), str(), tuple()
Mathematical Functions : abs(), divmod(), max(), min(), pow(), sum()
Other Functions: __import__(), len(), range(), type()
We have already used some of the built-in functions. Let us get familiar with some of them as
explained in following Table:
Name of the Description Example

function
abs (x) It returns distance between x and >>>abs(-45) 45 >>>abs(119L)

zero, where x is a numeric 119
expression.
max( x, y, z, .... ) It returns the largest of its >>>max(80, 100, 1000) 1000
arguments: where x, y and z are >>>max(-80, -20, -10) -10
numeric variable/expression.
min( x, y, z, .... ) It returns the smallest of its >>> min(80, 100, 1000) 80 >>>
arguments; where x, y, and z are min(-80, -20, -10) -80
cmp( x, y ) It returns the sign of the difference >>>cmp(80, 100) -1
of two numbers: -1 if x < y, 0 if x == >>>cmp(180, 100) 1
y, or 1 if x > y, where x and y are
divmod (x,y ) Returns both quotient and >>> divmod (14,5) (2,4) >>>
remainder by division through a divmod (2.7, 1.5) (1.0,
tuple, when x is divided by y; where 1.20000)
x & y are variable/expression.
len (s) Return the length (the number of >>> a= [1,2,3] >>>len (a) 3 >>>
items) of an object. The argument b= „Hello‟ >>> len (b) 5
may be a sequence (string, tuple or
list) or a mapping (dictionary).
range (start, This is a versatile function to create >>> range(10) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

stop[, step]) lists containing arithmetic 6, 7, 8, 9] >>> range(1, 11) [1,
progressions. It is most often used 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] >>>
in for loops. The arguments must range(0, 30, 5) [0, 5, 10, 15,
be plain integers. If the step 20, 25] >>> range(0, 10, 3) [0,
argument is omitted, it defaults to 3, 6, 9] >>> range(0, -10, -1) [0,
1. If the start argument is omitted, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9]
it defaults to 0. The full form >>> range(0) [] >>> range(1, 0)
returns a list of plain integers [start, []
start + step, start + 2 * step, ...]. If
step is positive, the last element is
the largest start + i * step less than
stop; if step is negative, the last
element is the smallest start + i *
step greater than stop. step must
not be zero (or else Value Error is
raised).
round( x [, n] ) It returns float x rounded to n digits >>>round(80.23456, 2) 80.23

from the decimal point, where x >>>round(-100.000056, 3) -
and n are numeric expressions. If n 100.0 >>> round (80.23456)
is not provided then x is rounded to 80.0
0 decimal digits.
Apart from these functions, you have already seen the use of the following functions:
bool ( ), chr ( ), float ( ), int ( ), long (), str ( ), type ( ), id ( ), tuple ( )
Module
In addition to built-in functions, a large number of pre-defined functions are also available as a
part of libraries bundled with Python distributions. These functions are defined in modules. While
a function is a grouping of instructions, a module is a grouping of functions. A module is created
as a python (.py) file containing a collection of function definitions.
There are two ways to import a module in our program, they are
Import: It is simplest and most common way to use modules in our code.
Syntax:
import modulename1 [, module name 2, ---------]
Example: Input any number and to find square and square root.
import math
x = input ("Enter any number")
y = math.sqrt(x)
a = math.pow(x,2)
print "Square Root value=",y
print "square value=",a
output:
Enter any number25
Square Root value= 5.0
square value= 625.0
From statement: It is used to get a specific function instead of complete file. If we know
beforehand which function(s), we will need, then we may use 'from'. For modules having large
number of functions, it is recommended to use from instead of import.
Syntax
>>> from modulename import functionname [, functionname…..]
from modulename import * will import everything from the file.
Example: Input any number and to find square and square root.
from math import sqrt,pow

x=input("Enter any number")
y=sqrt(x) #without using math
a=pow(x,2) #without using math
print( "Square Root value =",y)
print ("square value =",a)
Enter any number100
Square Root value = 10.0
square value = 10000.0

Some of the other modules, which you can explore, are: string, time, date.
Note:
• import statement can be written anywhere in the program
• Module must be imported only once
• In order to get a list of modules available in Python, we can use the following statement: >>>
help("module")
Flow of Execution of program containing Function call
Execution always begins at the first statement of the program. Statements are executed one at a
time, in order from top to bottom. Function definition does not alter the flow of execution of
program, as the statement inside the function is not executed until the function is called.
On a function call, instead of going to the next statement of program, the control jumps
to the body of the function; executes all statements of the function in the order from top to
bottom and then comes back to the point where it left off. This remains simple, till a function
does not call another function. Simillarly, in the middle of a function, program might have to
execute statements of the other function and so on.
It is also important to note that a function must be defined before its call within a program.
Below example program explains the flow of execution for a programs. The number in square
brackets shows the order of execution of the statements.
Example 1:
[2] def Greetings(Name): #Function Header
[3] print("Hello "+Name)
[1] Greetings("John") #Function Call
[4] print("Thanks")
Example 2:
[4] def RectangleArea(l,b):
[5] return l*b
[1] l = input("Length: ")

[2] b = input("Breadth: ")
[3] [6] Area = RectangleArea(l,b)
[7] print(Area)
[8] print("thanks")
Scope of Variables
VARIABLE
SCOPE
LOCAL GLOBAL
SCOPE SCOPE
Scope of variable refers to the part of the program, where it is visible, i.e., area where you can
refer (use) it.
We will study two types of scope of variables- global scope or local scope.
Global Scope
A variable, with global scope can be used anywhere in the program. It can be created by defining
a variable outside the scope of any function/block.
Example
x=40
def func ( ):
print (“Inside func x is” , x )
print( “Value of x is” , x )
On execution the above code will produce
Inside func x is 40
Value of x is 40
Any modification to global is permanent and visible to all the functions written in the file.
Example
x=40
def func ( ):
x+= 10
print (“Inside func x is”, x)
print (“Value of x is”, x)
will produce
Inside func x is 50
Value of x is 50
Local Scope
A variable with local scope can be accessed only within the function/block that it is created in.
When a variable is created inside the function/block, the variable becomes local to it. A local
variable only exists while the function is executing.
Example
X=40
def func ( ):
y = 20
print (“Value of x is ‟, X, “; y is ‟ , y )
print (“Value of x is ‟, X, “ y is “ , y)
On executing the code we will get
Value of x is 40; y is 20
The next print statement will produce an error, because the variable y is not accessible outside
the function body.
A global variable remains global, till it is not recreated inside the function/block.
Example
x=40
def func ( ):
x=4
y=2
print(“Value of x & y inside the function are “ , x , y)
print (“Value of x outside the function is “ , x)
This code will produce following output:
Value of x & y inside the function are 4 2
Value of x outside the function is 40
If we want to refer to global variable inside the function then keyword global will be
prefixed with it.
Example :
x=40
def test ( ):
global x
x =2
y=2
print (“Value of x & y inside the function are “ , x , y)

print (“Value of x outside function is “ , x)
This code will produce following output:
Value of x & y inside the function are 2 2
Value of x outside the function is 2

TEXT FILE HANDLING
A file is a named location on a secondary storage media where data is stored temporary or
permanently for later use. A text file can be understood as a sequence of characters consisting
of alphabets, numbers and other special symbols. Each line of a text file is terminated by a special
character, called the End of Line (EOL).
OPENING AND CLOSING FILES:
To open a text file in Python, we use the open() function. The syntax of open() is as follows:
file_object= open(file_name, access_mode)
(This function returns a file object called file handle which is stored in the variable file_object. If
the file does not exist, the above statement creates a new empty file and assigns it the name we
specify in the statement.)
The file_object has certain attributes that tells us basic information about the file, such
as:
<file.closed> returns true if the file is closed and false otherwise.
<file.mode> returns the access mode in which the file was opened.
<file.name> returns the name of the file.
The access_mode is an optional argument that represents the mode in which the file has to be
accessed by the program. The default is the read mode.
close() function : Once we are done with the read/write operations on a file, it is a good practice
to close the file.
The syntax of using close() function is:
file_object.close()
Here, file_object is the object that was returned while opening the file. Python makes sure that
any unwritten or unsaved data is flushed off (written) to the file before it is closed.
FILES MODE: It defines how the file will be accessed:-
File Mode Description File Offset position
<r> Opens the file in read-only mode. Beginning of the file
<rb> Opens the file in binary and read-only mode. Beginning of the file
<r+> or <+r> Opens the file in both read and write mode. Beginning of the file
Opens the file in write mode. If the file already exists, all
<w> the contents will be overwritten. If the file doesn’t exist, Beginning of the file
then a new file will be created.
<wb+> or Opens the file in read,write and binary mode. If the file
already exists, the contents will be overwritten. If the Beginning of the file
<+wb> file doesn’t exist, then a new file will be created.
Opens the file in append mode. If the file doesn’t exist,

<a> End of the file
then a new file will be created.
Opens the file in append and read mode. If the file

<a+> or <+a> End of the file
doesn’t exist, then it will create a new file.
Opening a file using with clause:
In Python, we can also open a file using with clause. The syntax of with clause is:
with open (file_name, access_mode) as file_ object:
The advantage of using with clause is that any file that is opened using this clause is closed
automatically, once the control comes outside the with clause.
Example:
with open(“myfile.txt”,”r+”) as myObject:
content = myObject.read()
Writing to a text File:-

For writing to a file, we first need to open it in write or append mode. If we open an existing file
in write mode, the previous data will be erased, and the file object will be positioned at the
beginning of the file. On the other hand, in append mode, new data will be added at the end of
the previous data as the file object is at the end of the file.
We can use the following methods to write data in the file.
Method Syntax Significance Example
write() <filehandle>.write(str1) for writing a Consider the following piece of code:

single string
myobject=open("myfile.txt",'w')
myobject.write("Hey I have started #using

files in Python\n")
writelines() <filehandle>.writelines for writing a myobject=open("myfile.txt",'w')

(L) sequence of
strings lines =["Hello everyone\n", "Writing
#multiline strings\n", "This is the #third
line"]
myobject.writelines(lines)
myobject.close()
Reading from a text File:
We can write a program to read the contents of a file. Before reading a file, we must make sure
that the file is opened in “r”, “r+”, “w+” or “a+” mode.
Methods to read data from files
Method Syntax Description Example
read() <filehandle>.read( [n] ) This method is used to read a myobject=open("myfile.txt",'r')

specified number of bytes of
data from a data file. print(myobject.read())
Hello everyone
If no argument or a negative
number is specified in read(),
the entire file content is read. myobject=open("myfile.txt",'r')
print(myobject.read())
Hello everyone
Writing multiline strings
This is the third line
myobject.close()
Readline( ) <filehandle>.readline([n]) This method reads one myobject=open("myfile.txt",'r')

complete line from a file
where each line terminates myobject.readline(10)
with a newline (\n) character.
It can also be used to read a 'Hello ever'
specified number (n) of bytes
of data from a file but
maximum up to the newline
character (\n).
If no argument or a negative
number is specified, it reads a myobject=open("myfile.txt",'r')
complete line and returns
string. print(myobject.readline())
'Hello everyone\n'
readlines() <filehandle>.readlines() The method reads all the lines myobject=open("myfile.txt", 'r')
and returns the lines along
with newline as a list of print(myobject.readlines())['Hello
strings. everyone\n', 'Writing multiline
strings\n', 'This is the third line']
myobject.close()
Setting offsets In a File:
The functions that we have learnt till now are used to access the data sequentially from a file.
But if we want to access data in a random fashion, then Python gives us seek() and tell() functions
to do so.
Method Syntax Description Example
tell() file_object.tell() This function returns an There is “GfG.txt” which

integer that specifies contains the following
the current position of text:
the file object in the file.
"Code is like humor.

seek() Syntax: f.seek(offset, from_what), This method is used to When you have to
where f is file pointer position the file object explain it, it’s bad."
Parameters: at a particular position
Offset: Number of positions to in a file.
move forward
from_what: It defines point of f = open("GfG.txt", "r")
reference.
f.seek(20)
Returns: Does not return any value
print(f.tell())
print(f.readline())
The reference point is selected by
the from_what argument. It f.close()
accepts three values:
0: sets the reference point at the

beginning of the file
Output:
1: sets the reference point at the 20

current file position
When you have to
explain it, it’s bad.
2: sets the reference point at the
end of the file
By default from_what argument is

set to 0.

BINARY FILES
BINARY FILES
FOR READING/ WRITING
DATA IN THE FORM OF
BYTES FROM/TO FILE
Writing Data to a Reading data from the

binary file is done binary file is done
through process through process called
called
PICKLING UNPICKLING
Method used: Method used:

dump(object, load(fileObject)
fileObject)
Binary files use strings of type bytes. This means when reading binary data from a file, an object
of type bytes is returned.
Binary files are also stored (written) in terms of bytes (0s and 1s), but unlike text files, these bytes
do not represent the ASCII values of character.
Rather, they represent the actual content such as image, audio, video, compressed versions of
other files, executable files, etc.
Binary files are made up of non-human readable characters and symbols, which require specific
programs to access its contents. Thus, trying to open a binary file using a text editor will show
some garbage values.
To work on a binary file an external module named pickle is used.
Pickle module converts Python object to byte stream so that it can be stored on disk. This process
is called Pickling.
While retrieving data from file Pickle module converts stream of bytes to original structure. This
process is called Unpickling.
STEPS to Read/ Search data from Binary File
import pickle module

Open binary file for reading ie using ‘rb’ mode.
Process the data in a loop ie repeat the step 4 and step 5 for all records
Read data from the file (in a variable say d) using load( fileobject) method
Apply appropriate search function / method on the variable read from the file.
Close file
STEPS to Write data to Binary File
import pickle module
Open binary file for writing is ‘wb’ mode.
Read data from the user (in variables)
Assemble data in the form of list/tuple/ dictionary say t
Write data to the file using dump(t, fileobject) method
Close file .
STEPS for updating a binary file
1 import pickle module
2. Open binary file for reading
3. Read data from the file (in a variable) using load() method
4. Close the file.
5. Make changes in the variable read from the file
6. Open binary file in writing mode
7. Write updated variable in the file using dump() method
8. Close the file.
Example 1: #Create a binary file "emp.dat" that writes n employee records in the file with details-
[empno, ename, sal] and then read the contents from the file
import pickle
f=open("emp.dat", "wb")
c='Y'
while c=='Y' or c=='y':
n=int(input("Enter the employee no::"))
nm=input("Enter the employee name::")
s=int(input("Enter the employee sal::"))
r=[n,nm,s]
pickle.dump(r,f)
c=input("Do you want to continue(y/n)::")
f.close()
Example 2 :: Write a function search_cd(n) that takes a parameter ie name of cd and searches for

Q6) Amritya Seth is a programmer, who has recently been given a task to write a python code to
perform the following binary file operations with the help of two user defined
functions/modules:
AddStudents() to create a binary file called STUDENT.DAT containing student information – roll
number, name and marks (out of 100) of each student.
GetStudents() to display the name and percentage of those students who have a percentage
greater than 75. In case there is no student having percentage > 75 the function displays an
appropriate message. The function should also display the average percent.
He has succeeded in writing partial code and has missed out certain statements, so he has left
certain queries in comment lines. You as an expert of Python have to provide the missing

What is CSV file or Characteristics of CSV files :
A CSV (Comma Separated Values) file is a simple plain text file having extension .csv.
Because it is a text file it only contains text data means ASCII / Unicode characters.
In CSV file data is stored in rows and columns form (tabular form).
The character that separates values is known as delimiter. Normally CSV files uses a comma to
separate each value but comma is not the only delimiter. We can also use tab ( ‘\t’ ), colon ( : ),
semi-colon ( ; ) or any other character.
The format of CSV file is as follows
OR
Here first row is the header holding the name of the columns and after that each row have a
separate record. We can easily notice that each piece of data is separated by a comma.
CSV files can be opened in spreadsheet as well as in any text editor.

To work with CSV files we need to import CSV library
How CSV file is different from text file.
Text files CSV files
Text files have plain text without any format CSV files also have plain text but in a tabular
format ( rows / columns)
There is no concept of delimiter In csv file each row is considered as a record having
many fields. Fields are the values separated by
delimiter.
Text file can be opened in any text editor Csv files can be opened in any text editor as well
as in any spreadsheet.
Format of Text file Format of CSV file
Writing into CSV file
There are two functions required to write into a csv file.
csv.writer( ) : This function accepts the file object and returns a writer object that can be used to
write into a csv file.
writer_object.writerow( ) : This function is used to insert the record into the csv file. It requires
the record in the form of list or tuple.
for example :
The above program will create a file student.csv at e drive. A glimpse of the file is
Note : There is an empty line (or newline in terms of programming) after each row in the
student.csv file. To avoid this empty line we can override the newline as empty by adding a new
argument newline=’’ in the open ( ) function as follows
The output of the above program

Now the file doesn’t have empty rows after each record.
Sometimes while executing the file creation program again and again we encounter the following
error of Permission denied
The error may have occurred because the csv file is already open and we can’t write in an open
file. To avoid it just close the csv file and try again.
Writing multiple rows with writerows( )
To write multiple rows or two dimensional list we can use writerows( ) function instead of
writerow( ) as follows
The content of the student.csv file will be the same as the above program. The only difference
here is that we are using writerows( ) function which can write multiple rows at a time.
To write a CSV file with any other delimiter like colon ( ‘:’ )
If we want to use any delimiter other than default delimiter that is comma ( , ) we simply have
to mention delimiter argument while creating the writer object using the writer( ) function as
shown below:
Output in student.csv file
We can easily notice that here each field is separated by colon ( ‘:’ ) instead of comma ( ‘,’ ).
Making program Interactive and inserting multiple records in csv file.
Till now we are writing fixed records in the file. The program is not interacting with the user and
always writes two same records whenever we run it. If we want to make our program interactive
it should accept values from the user as well as it should be able to write as many records in the
file as the user wants. To accept multiple records from the user, loops can be used. For example,
The above program will accept the values till the user wants. For this purpose we have taken a
variable choice and accepted the response from the user in ‘y’ or ‘n’ form. Now on the basis of
choice the flow of the program is decided. If the user presses ‘N’ or ‘n’ the if condition becomes
True and break is encountered, which will terminate the while loop for any other value it will
again move to the beginning of the loop and accept values again.
Reading a csv file
csv.reader( ) function is used to read the csv file. It returns an iterable reader object that can be
iterated using a for loop to print the content of each row. The records are read in the form of a
list of lists. The default delimiter is comma ( ‘,’ )
For example :
Note : The file ‘e://student.csv’ must exist in the e: drive of system for successful execution of
above program.
Output :
Reading file with any other delimiter like colon (‘:’)
If we have some other delimiter in place of comma we can still read that file by tweaking the
csv.reader( ) function.
For example :
Suppose we want to read a file having format shown above. In the above file the delimiter used
is colon(‘:’) not comma(‘,’). To read a file having a delimiter different from comma (‘,’) we just
have to pass an additional argument delimiter in the csv.reader( ) function.
reader_obj=csv.reader(file, delimiter=’:’) #here the delimiter is colon (‘:’)
For example :
Searching in CSV files
Suppose we have a student file having records shown above.
Example 1 : In this csv file we are going to search a particular record according to name. so, the
program of that would be look like
The above program looks like reading program except three changes that are
name=input(‘Enter the name of the student you want to search : ‘)
This statement is asking for the name of the student that we want to search in the csv file and
storing that in the name variable.
i[1] == name
In this statement we are matching name with the i[1] value. If we look carefully the student file
has three fields in the sequence Rollno, Name, Percentage.
i [ 0 ] = holding the Rollno of the student.
i [ 1 ] = holding the name of the student.
i [ 2 ] = holding the percentage of the student.
So here name is at the position of i[1] so we are comparing i[1] with name.
If we have to search according the rollno so we can use i[0] = rollno
Or if we are going to search according to percentage we can use i[2]=percentage
else:
print(‘Record not found’)
this else statement will execute if the break is not encountered or we can say if the loop is not
terminated prematurely.
Example 2 :
Now we want to write a program to search and display records of those students who secured
marks greater than 60.
Some of the important points to note in this program are
next ( reader_obj ) : The next( ) function moves the reader_obj to the next record. We are using
this function here because the first row of the student.csv file has column names which should
not be compared with 60. Therefore next(reader_obj) will skip the header row of the student.csv
file.
int ( i [ 2 ] ) > 60 : In this statement we are converting the percentage from string to integer by
type conversion. As we all know csv file stores data in text format therefore to compare two
values we need to convert it into numbers.
flag is simply a boolean variable to keep the status of records (i.e found or not found).
CASE BASED MCQs
Question No. 1
Neha is a student of class XII working on a project ‘student management system’ developed in
python and uses a csv file ‘student.csv’ to store data. Now Neha wants to add a new function
first_division ( ) in this project that will display the name of all those students whose percentage
is greater than 60. The format of the csv file ‘student.csv’ and the definition of first_division ( )
function are as follows.
Rollno,Name,Percentage
1,vikas,80
2,abhinav,40
3,parvez,75
4,sandeep,51
import csv
def first_division( ) :
with open('student.csv') as file: #statement1
reader_obj=csv.reader(file)
______________________ #statement2
flag=False
for row in reader_obj :
if _______________ > 60: #statement3
print ( row )
flag=True
if flag==False:
print('Record not found')
In statement 1 Neha didn’t mention the mode of the file to be opened. Identify the correct mode
in which the file will be open (if we skip the mode) from the options given below.
The file will be opened in ‘w’ mode.
The file will be opened in ‘r’ mode.
The file will be opened in ‘a’ mode.
The program will throw an error because it is mandatory to mention the mode of the file in the
open function.
Ans : B
From the data of the student.csv file shown above it is clearly visible that the first row of the file
has the name of the columns. To find out the records having percentage more than 60 Neha has
to skip the first row because it doesn’t have any record. Identify the correct option for
statement2.
csv.next( )
csv.skip( )
next(reader_obj)
skip(reader_obj)
Ans : C
In statement3 Neha wants to compare the percentage of students with 60. Identify the suitable
option for statement 3.
row > 60
row [ 0 ] > 60
row [ 2 ] > 60
int ( row [ 2] ) > 60
Ans : D
To keep all csv files at one place Neha moved the student.csv file from its default location to d:/
drive. What will be the effect of changing the location of student.csv file.
Moving of csv file doesn’t have any effect on this program.
The above function will create a new student.csv file.
In open function we can only mention the name of the file, not location.
We can change location by statement “with open(‘d:/student.csv’) as file”
Ans : D
In this first_division( ) function Neha has not closed the file. Identify the correct statement
The file is automatically closed when open with ‘with statement’.
The program will throw an error because the file is not closed.
reader_obj.close( ) function can be used to close the file.
csv.close( ) function( ) can be used to close the file.
Ans : A
Question No. 2
Sandeep is writing a program in python to store data of employees working in ACE Infotech in
‘employee.csv’ file. While writing the program he is facing some problems. Help Sandeep to sort
out the difficulties.
def create_file( ) :
file = open ( ‘ employee.csv’, ‘w’ )
writer_obj = csv.writer(file)
writer_obj._______________ #statement 1
employee_id=input(‘Enter employee id : ‘)
employee_name=input(‘Enter employee name : ‘)

employee_dept= input(‘Enter employee dept : ‘)
contact_no=input(‘Enter employee contact no : ‘)
record=__________________________ #statement 2
writer_obj.writerow(record)
After successfully executing the code, when sandeep opened the ‘employee.csv’ file he noted
that there are empty lines after each row. Identify the suitable options to avoid these empty
lines.
file = open ( ‘employee.csv’, ‘w’, newline=’’ )
writer_obj = csv. newline=’‘)
writer_obj= csv.writer(newline=’’)
writer_obj=csv.writer(file,newline=’’)
Ans : A
Before writing the actual data in the file Sandeep wants to add a row that should have the header
or column names of the field. Identify the suitable statement for blank space in statement 1
writeheader ( [ ‘Employee_code’ , ’Name’ , ’Department’ , ’contact_no’ ] )
header ( [ ‘Employee_code’ , ’Name’ , ’Department’ , ’contact_no’ ] )
writecaption ( [ ‘Employee_code’ , ’Name’ , ’Department’ , ’contact_no’ ] )
writerow( [ ‘Employee_code’ , ’Name’ , ’Department’ , ’contact_no’ ] )
Ans : D
After executing the code successfully Sandeep noticed that every time when he runs the program
the previous data stored in the ‘employee.csv’ file disappears. How he can preserve the previous
data from disappearing.
By using mode ‘a’
By using mode ‘b’
By using mode ‘w’
Sandeep has to manually copy the data from ‘employee.csv’ to some other file because in python
every time we run a program to write on a file python creates a new file.
Ans : A
In statement 2 what should be the data type of variable record to write data successfully in
employee.csv file.
List
Tuple
Both A & B can be used
None of them
Ans : C
Sandeep didn’t close the file. Identify the suitable option to close the file.
writer_obj.close( )
csv.close( )
file.close( )
There is no need to close the file in this case as python will automatically close the file and doesn’t
have any impact on student.csv file.
Ans : C

 Revision of Python topics covered in Class XI.

Unit I: Computational Thinking and Programming – 2

• Contain A-Z, a-z, _

• Name should not start with digit

• It can start with alphabet or ( _ ) underscore

• Special Literal None

• The text enclosed in single or double quotes.

• There is no character literal.

• Example „a‟, „anant‟, “HelloWorld”

• Python allows non-graphic characters in string values.

• Non-graphic characters are represented using escape sequence.\n for newline, \t

• Integer: positive negative numbers without decimal

• Floating Point: Real numbers with decimal points

• True and False are the two Boolean Literals

• Special literal None represent absence of value

• None also indicates end of List

• They are built-in constant literals of Python

Unary Operator: those operators that require only one operand.

• Logical Negation not

• Arithmetic Operator (+,-,*,/,%)

• Bitwise Operator (&, ^, |)

• Shift Operator (>> ,<<)

• Identity Operator (is , is not)

• Relational operator (<,>,<=,>=,==,!=)

• Logical operator (and ,or)

• Whether variable in sequence(in)

• Whether variable not in sequence (not in)

• Common Punctuators are „ “ # \ ( ) [ ] { } @ , : . =

• lvalue: expression that can come on lhs of an assignment.

• Rvalue: expression that can come on rhs of anvaraible

type( ) function is used to determine the type of object.

• Python Support Dynamic Typing

• Python allows Multiple assignments.

• Assign same value to multiple variables.

here x, y, z has same value 20

• Assign multiple values to multiple variables.

• Variable is created or defined when the first value is assigned to it.

• Variable is not created until some value is assigned to it.

• input( ) function always returns a value of string type.

• Numbers(int, float, complex)

• Integers Signed: positive and negative integers(Whole Numbers)

• Boolean: Truth Values False(0)/bool(0) and True(1) /bool(1)

• Floating Point Numbers: precision of 15 digits possible in Python

• Fractional Form: Normal Decimal Form, e.g. 325.89, 300.845

• Exponent Notation: Represents real numbers for measurable quantities. E.g.

• a=1.6+4j real part=1.6 imaginary component=4

• b=0+5.2j real part=0 imaginary component=5.2

a.real and b.real gives the real part
