Solutions
Solutions to Class 12 Computer Science - Python Revision Tour & Functions
Section A Answers:
1. b) _my_var
2. <class 'float'>
3. d) tuple
4. b) len()
5. b) Nested Function
Section B Answers:
6. `is` checks identity; `==` checks value.
Example:
a = [1, 2]; b = [1, 2]
a == b -> True; a is b -> False
7. `return` gives output from function to caller.
8. def check_even_odd(n):
if n % 2 == 0:
print("Even")
else:
print("Odd")
9. i = 1
while i <= 5:
print(i)
i += 1
10. Global: Declared outside, accessible everywhere
Local: Declared inside function
Section C Answers:
11. Output: 5 6
12. def count_vowels(s):
vowels = "aeiouAEIOU"
return sum(1 for ch in s if ch in vowels)
13. Default: def greet(name, msg="Hi")
Keyword: greet(name="Ravi", msg="Hello")
14. def sum_digits(n):
if n == 0: return 0
return (n % 10) + sum_digits(n // 10)
Section D Answers:
15. def second_largest(lst):
lst = list(set(lst))
lst.sort()
return lst[-2] if len(lst) >= 2 else None
nums = [4, 7, 2, 7, 1, 9]
print("Second Largest:", second_largest(nums))
16. def fib(n):
if n <= 1: return n
return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
for i in range(5):
print(fib(i), end=" ")
