Chapter 3: Charming the python
MCQ
### **1. Incorrect print statement syntax**
The given statement:
```python
Print(“The total number of geals scored by captain sunil Chhetri 14, 235)
```
Has a **syntax error** (missing closing quotation mark). Assuming the intended statement
was:
```python
Print(“The total number of goals scored by captain Sunil Chhetri is”, 235)
```
The output would be:
```
The total number of goals scored by captain Sunil Chhetri is 235
```
#### **Answer:** **(b) The total number of goals scored by captain Sunil Chhetri is 235**
### **2. Incorrect variable reference**
The given code:
```python
Marks 35 # Syntax error, should be marks = 35
Print(“The total is “, “marks”)
```
Here, `”marks”` is treated as a string, **not a variable**. The correct way to use the
variable is:
```python
Print(“The total is”, marks)
```
If the incorrect code runs, the output will be:
```
The total is marks
```
#### **Answer:** **© The total is, marks**
### **3. Valid variable name**
- `@price` → **Invalid** (Cannot start with `@`)
- `799price` → **Invalid** (Cannot start with a number)
- `_price` → **Valid** (Can start with `_`)
- `latest price` → **Invalid** (Contains a space)
#### **Answer:** **(b) _price**
### **4. Data types used in the table**
Given table:
| **Variable Name** | **Value** |
|--------------------|----------------------|
| Player_name | Christiano Ronaldo | *(String)* |
| Country | Portugal | *(String)* |
| Matches_played | 1158 | *(Integer)* |
| Total_goals | 834 | *(Integer)* |
| Height_in_m | 1.89 | *(Float)* |
| Weight_in_kg | 84.9 | *(Float)* |
**Three data types are present:**
1. **String** → `”Christiano Ronaldo”`, `”Portugal”`
2. **Integer** → `1158`, `834`
3. **Float** → `1.89`, `84.9`
#### **Answer:** **© 3**
### **5. Incorrect input type handling**
Code:
```python
Test_1 = input(“Enter marks in 1st test:”)
Test_2 = input(“Enter marks in 2nd test:”)
Print(“Total marks in two tests”, Test_1 + Test_2)
```
- `input()` returns **strings**, so `”45” + “48”` results in `”4548”` (**string
concatenation**).
- To fix this, convert to integers:
```python
Test_1 = int(input(“Enter marks in 1st test:”))
Test_2 = int(input(“Enter marks in 2nd test:”))
Print(“Total marks in two tests”, Test_1 + Test_2)
```
This would output `93`, but **with the given incorrect code**, the output will be:
```
Total marks in two tests 4548
```
#### **Answer:** **© Total marks in two tests = 4548**
FILL IN THE BLANKS:
1. The rules of writing commands in a program are known as the syntax.
2. The input() function enables a user to enter data.
3. # is the first character for a single-line comment, and ''' (triple single quotes) or
""" (triple double quotes) are used to enclose the text for multiple-line comments.
4. The bool prefix is used to typecast a data type to Boolean.
5. A digit (0-9) cannot be the first character of a variable name.
DESCRIPTIVE QUESTIONS:
1. Write the output of the following programs:
a.
Print("Python is fun")
Error: Print should be lowercase (print). The correct version:
print("Python is fun")
Output:
Python is fun
b.
Print("5+3")
Since 5+3 is inside quotes, it is treated as a string.
Output:
5+3
c.
Print("5,3")
Inside quotes, 5,3 is treated as a string.
Output:
5,3
d.
Print("5/n3")
Here, \n represents a newline character.
Output:
5
3
2. Look at the following program:
Print("The total marks")
Print(360+400)
Since Print is incorrect (it should be print), this will cause an error.
If corrected, the output will be:
The total marks
760
Explanation:
• "The total marks" is printed as a string.
• 360+400 is a mathematical operation, so Python computes the sum and prints 760.
3. Program to take inputs for boys, girls, and teachers, then display total students and
teacher-student ratio
# Taking inputs
boys = int(input("Enter the number of boys: "))
girls = int(input("Enter the number of girls: "))
teachers = int(input("Enter the number of teachers: "))
# Calculating total students
total_students = boys + girls
# Calculating teachers per student
teachers_per_student = teachers / total_students
# Displaying results
print("Total number of students:", total_students)
print("Number of teachers per student:", teachers_per_student)
Sample Input and Output:
Enter the number of boys: 20
Enter the number of girls: 25
Enter the number of teachers: 5
Total number of students: 45
Number of teachers per student: 0.1111
4. Explanation of operators:
a. == (Equality Operator)
• Used to check if two values are equal.
• Example:
• print(5 == 5) # True
• print(5 == 3) # False
b. // (Floor Division Operator)
• Divides two numbers and returns the integer quotient, discarding the decimal part.
• Example:
• print(10 // 3) # Output: 3
• print(7 // 2) # Output: 3
c. % (Modulo Operator)
• Returns the remainder after division.
• Example:
• print(10 % 3) # Output: 1
• print(7 % 2) # Output: 1
5. Programs to explain:
a. String Concatenation
• Combining two or more strings using +.
str1 = "Hello"
str2 = "World"
result = str1 + " " + str2
print(result)
Output:
Hello World
b. Type Casting
• Converting one data type to another.
num_str = "123"
num_int = int(num_str) # Converts string to integer
num_float = float(num_str) # Converts string to float
print(num_int) # Output: 123
print(num_float) # Output: 123.0
