(b) Unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'int'.
(c) Invalid Syntax.
Short Answer Type Questions
Q.1 What is the difference between a keyword and an identifier?
Ans: Difference between Keyword and Identifier: Every language has keywords and identifiers,
which are only understood by its compiler. Keywords are predefined reserved words, which
possess special meaning. An identifier is a unique name given to a particular variable, function
or label of class in the program.
Q.2 What are literals in Python? How many types of Literals allowed in Python?
Ans: Literals: Python comes with some built-in objects. Some are used so often that Python has a
quick way to make these objects, called literals.
The literals include the string, Unicode string, integer, float, long, list, tuple and
dictionary types.
Q.3 How many types of sequences are supported in Python?
Ans: Three Types of Sequences are supported in python:
(i) String
(ii) List
(iii) Tuple
Q.4 What factors guide the choice of identifiers in program?
Ans: (i) An identifier must start with a letter or underscore followed by any number of digits
and/or letters.
(ii) No reserved word or standard identifier should be used.
(iii) No special character (Other than underscore) should be included in the identifier.
Q.5 What is the difference between an expression and a statement in Python?
Ans: A statement is an instruction that the Python interpreter can execute. We have only seen the
assignment statement so far. Some other kinds of statements that we‘ll see shortly
are while statements, forstatements, if statements, and import statements. (There are other
kinds too!)
An expression is a combination of values, variables, operators, and calls to functions.
Expressions need to be evaluated. If you ask Python to print an expression, the
interpreter evaluates the expression and displays the result.
Q.6 What are tokens in Python? How many types of tokens allowed in Python?
Ans: Tokens are the smallest unit of the program. There are following tokens in Python:
 Reserved words or Keywords
 Identifiers
 Literals Definition of all tokens may come. Which is not given
 Operators in this question bank.
 Punctuators

Q.7 What are operators? What is their function? Give examples of some unary and binary
operators.
 Prepared By: Sanjeev Bhadauria & Neha Tyagi

Ans: “Operators are those symbols used with operands, which tells compiler which operation is to be
done on operands.‖ in other words – ―operators are tokens that trigger some
computation/action when applied to variables and other objects in an expression.‖
Operators are of following types:
 Unary operators like (+) Unary Plus, (-) Unary Minus, not etc.
 Binary Operators like (+) addition, (*) multiplication, and etc.

Q.8 What is block/code block/suit in Python?

Ans: Sometimes a group of statements is part of another statement of function. Such a group of one
or more statements is called block or code-block or suit in python. e.g.

Q.9 What is the role of indentation in Python?

Ans: Indentation plays a very important role in Python. Python uses indentation to create blocks of
code. Statements at same indentation level are part of same block/suit. You cannot
unnecessarily indent a statement; python will raise an error for that.
Q.10 How many types of strings are supported by Python?
Ans: Python supports two types of strings:
(i) Single-line string That terminates in single line.
(ii) Multi-line String That stores multiple lines of text.

Short Answer Type Questions

Q.1 What are data types? What are Python‟s built-in core data types?
Ans: Every value in Python has a datatype. Since everything is an object in Python programming,
data types are actually classes and variables are instance (object) of these classes.
There are various data types in Python. Some of the important types are listed below.
(i) Numbers (ii) String (iii) List (iv) Tuple (v) Dictionary
Q.2 Which data types of Python handle Numbers?
Ans: It is cleared by name that Number data types are used to store numeric value in Python. The
Numbers in Python have following core data types:
(i) Integers
a. Integers (signed)
b. Booleans
(ii) Floating-Point Numbers
(iii) Complex Numbers
Q.3 Why is Boolean considered a subtype of Integers?
Ans: Because Boolean Values False and True behave like the values 0 and 1, respectively. So
Boolean type is a subtype of plain integers.

Q.4 What do you understand by term „immutable‟?

Ans: Immutable types are those data types that can never change their value in place. In Python the
following types are immutable:
(i) integers
(ii) floating-point numbers
(iii) Booleans
(iv) Strings
(v) Tuples

Q.5 What will be the output of the following code? Why?

(a) 13 or len(13) (b) len(13) or 13
Ans: (a) 13 (b) TypeError: object of type 'int' has no len().
 Prepared By: Sanjeev Bhadauria & Neha Tyagi

Q.6 What are mutable and immutable types in Python? List both of them.
Ans: Mutable types means those data types whose values can be changed at the time of execution.
They are as follows:
 Lists
 Dictionaries
 Sets
Immutable types are those data types that can never change their value in place. In Python the
following types are immutable:
 integers
 floating-point numbers
 Booleans
 Strings
 Tuples
Q.7 What are augmented assignment operators? How are they useful?
Ans: An augmented assignment is generally used to replace a statement where an operator takes
a variable as one of its arguments and then assigns the result back to the same variable. A
simple example is x += 1 which is expanded to x = x + (1). Similar constructions are often
available for various binary operators. They are helpful in making the source code small.

Q.2 What are loops in Python? How many types of loop are there in Python?
Ans: Loops are iteration constructs in Python. Iteration means repetition of a set of statements
depending upon a condition test. Loops has three basic elements within it to repeat the statements –
 Initialization (Start)
 Check Condition (Stop)
 Updation (Step)
Python provide two types of loop
(i) Conditional Loop while( (Condition based loop)
(ii) Counting loop for (loop for a given number of times).
