    Time : 3 Hours Maximum Marks :100

    Weightage : 70%

    Note : Question No. 1 is compulsory. Attempt any


    three questions from the rest.

    1. (a) Draw flowchart and write algorithm to


    print Fibonacci series upto the number of
    terms entered by the user. 5

    (b) Differentiate between the structure and


    union construct in C. Write suitable code
    for each. 5

    (c) Compare the term typedef and typecast in


    C. Give suitable code for each. Also discuss
    utility of both. 5

    P. T. O.
    [2] MCS-201

    (d) Write a program in C to verify that the


    string entered by the user is palindrome or
    not. Support your program with suitable
    comments. 5
    (e) What is Jython ? How does Jython work ?
    Compare module and package in context of
    Python. 5
    (f) What are generators in Python ? Compare
    generators and lists. Also discuss utility of
    generators in Python. 5
    (g) What are iterators in Python ? How do
    iterators differ from iterables ? Give
    example of each. 5
    (h) What are co-routines ? How do co-routines
    support cooperative multitasking in
    Python ? 5

    2. (a) Write an algorithm to find the slope of a


    line segment whose end point coordinates
    are (x 1 , y 1 ) and (x 2 , y 2 ). The algorithm
    gives output whether the slope is positive,
    negative or zero. Transform your algorithm
    into C program. 10
    Note : Slope of line segment = (y 2 – y 1 )/
    (x 2 – x 1 ).

    read and print a CSV file using Pandas.
    Also, transform your steps in to suitable
    code in Python. 10

    (i) Looping constructs and its types in C
    (ii) Functions and its types in C
    Give suitable example for each.
    (b) Discuss the connect( ) method of MySQL.
    Connector interface. List the arguments
    involved with connect( ) method. Write
    Python code to create database
    student_DB and to connect to student_DB
    (make suitable assumptions wherever
    necessary). 10

    4. (a) Write a program in C to calculate the


    product of two matrices. Support your code
    with suitable comments. 10
    (b) What are lists ? How do lists differ from
    arrays ? What do you understand by the
    term “Lists are mutable but tuples are
    immutable” ? Write syntax for creation of
    list and accessing the last element of the
    list. 10
