Basic Python Questions

The document contains 6 Python programs: 1) to check if a string is a palindrome, 2) to find the second largest number in a list, 3) to reverse a string, 4) to remove duplicates from a list, 5) to check if a number is prime, and 6) to find the median of a list of numbers. It also contains a 7th program to calculate the mean, median, and mode of an array without using the statistics module. Each program includes the function definition and an example call with output.

1.Write a Python program to check if a string is a palindrome.

def is_palindrome(string):

reversed_str = string[::-1]

if string == reversed_str:

return True

else:

return False

print(is_palindrome("radar"))

# Output: True

2. Write a Python program to find the second largest number in a list.

def find_second_largest(numbers):

largest = float('-inf')

second_largest = float('-inf')

for num in numbers:

if num > largest:

second_largest = largest

largest = num

elif num > second_largest and num != largest:

second_largest = num

return second_largest
nums = [5, 10, 2, 8, 3]

print(find_second_largest(nums))

# Output: 8

3. Write a Python program to reverse a string.

def reverse_string(string):

return string[::-1]

print(reverse_string("Hello, World!"))

# Output: "!dlroW ,olleH"

4. Write a Python program to remove duplicates from a list.

def remove_duplicates(numbers):

return list(set(numbers))

nums = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 2, 5]

print(remove_duplicates(nums))

# Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
5.Write a Python program to check if a number is prime.

def is_prime(n):

if n <= 1:

return False

for i in range(2, int(n**0.5) + 1):

if n % i == 0:

return False

return True

print(is_prime(13))

# Output: True

5. Write a Python program to find the median of a list of numbers.


def find_median(numbers):

sorted_nums = sorted(numbers)

length = len(sorted_nums)

if length % 2 == 0:

return (sorted_nums[length//2 - 1] + sorted_nums[length//2]) / 2

else:

return sorted_nums[length//2]

nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

print(find_median(nums))

# Output: 3
6. Write a Python program to calculate the mean, median, and mode
of a given array without using the statistics module.
def calculate_mean(arr):

return sum(arr) / len(arr)

def calculate_median(arr):

sorted_arr = sorted(arr)

length = len(sorted_arr)

if length % 2 == 0:

mid1 = sorted_arr[length // 2]

mid2 = sorted_arr[length // 2 - 1]

median = (mid1 + mid2) / 2

else:

median = sorted_arr[length // 2]

return median

def calculate_mode(arr):

counts = {}

for num in arr:

if num in counts:

counts[num] += 1

else:

counts[num] = 1
max_count = max(counts.values())

mode = [num for num, count in counts.items() if count == max_count]

return mode

array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

mean = calculate_mean(array)

median = calculate_median(array)

mode = calculate_mode(array)

print("Mean:", mean)

print("Median:", median)

print("Mode:", mode)

Output:

Mean: 5.0

Median: 5.0

Mode: [5]
