Basic Python Programming -6​

1.​ What is the difference between .random() and .uniform()?​


Answer:​
random.random() generates a random float between 0 and 1​
random.uniform(a, b) generates a random float between a and b.​

2.​ What is the full form of "dir" in Python?​


Answer:In Python, "dir" stands for "directory"​

3.​ How to find assignments on the LMS?​


Answer:Please open the LMS and navigate to the Assignment section,
where you will find all the assignments.​

4.​ Why don't we use break after elif?​


Answer:We don't use break after elif because if-elif-else is a
conditional control structure, not a loop. The break statement is used
to exit loops (for or while), whereas if-elif-else executes only
one matching condition and moves forward in the program.​
​

5.​ Can we get the recorded lectures if we miss a live session?​


Answer: Once the lecture is over, the recording option will appear for
each lecture. Click on the "VIEW RECORDING" option to access the
recording of that lecture.​

6.​ What happens if we fail to submit an assignment on time?​


Answer: Attendance and assignments do not contain grades, but we
recommend attending all the classes and completing all the
assignments for better learning. You can practice the assignments any
time, any number of times. The reason we keep deadlines is because if
you do it within the timeline, it will be relevant to the sessions going on,
and you will be on track. The program has been kept very flexible to
adjust to the needs of the students.​

7.​ What is import random?​


Answer:import random is a statement in Python that allows you to
use the random module,​
8.​ What does double mean in Python? Does it use ‘d’ for initialization?​
Answer:n Python, there is no built-in double data type like in C or Java.
Instead, Python uses float to represent floating-point numbers (decimal
values).Python does not use 'd' for initialization. You can simply
declare a float

9.​ Is slicing only possible in string data types?​


Answer:No, slicing is not only possible in strings. It can be used with
lists, tuples, and other sequence types like ranges.​

10.​ Why does the index start from 0?​


Answer:the index starts from 0 due to historical and technical reasons:
1.​ Memory Addressing – In low-level languages like C, an array’s index
represents an offset from the base memory address. The first element
is at offset 0, the second at 1, and so on.
2.​ Efficiency – Using 0-based indexing simplifies calculations, like
accessing the nth element:
○​ 0-based index: address + (index * size)
○​ 1-based index: address + ((index - 1) * size), which
adds an extra subtraction step.
3.​ Historical Influence – Many early programming languages (like C)
used 0-based indexing, influencing later languages like Python, Java,
and JavaScript.
