Data types
Answer Key
I. Complete the following sentences by filling the blanks:
1. Variable is also known as identifier and used to hold value.
2. + operator is used to combine both text and a variable.
3. A Set is a collection which is unordered and unindexed.
4. Python is a dynamically typed language hence we need not define the types of the
variables while declaring it.
5. A Strings is a collection of one or more characters put in a single quote, double-quote or
triple quote.
6. Comparison operators compares the values and return either True or False according to the
condition.
II. Put a tick mark if the statement is right and a X mark if it is wrong.
1. The first character of the variable name must be a number.
2. A tuple is a collection which is ordered and changeable.
3. + operator is used to combine both text and a variable.
4. A sequence can be indexed with negative numbers.
5. Python allows negative indexing for its sequence.
III. Cross Word
F
A E D
T X C
T C L
R E M O V E
N U A P P E N D
D N R
T
IV. Explain the purpose of each arithmetic operator:
1. + = Addition Operator: Adds two operands.
2. - = Subtraction Operator: Subtracts second operand from the first.
3. * = Multiplication Operator: Multiplies both operands.
4. / = Division Operator: Divides numerator by denominator.
5. % = Modulo Operator: Provides the remainder after an integer division.
6. ** = Exponent Operator: Performs exponential (power) calculation on operands
7. // = Floor Division Operator: The division of operands where the result is the quotient in
which the digits after the decimal point are removed.
V. Find the output for the following:
1. Let us assume my_list=['s','u','c','c','e','s']
Q.no Program Output
i. print(len(my_list)) 6
ii. print(my_list[5]) s
iii. my_list.append(‘s’) ['s', 'u', 'c', 'c', 'e', 's', 's']
print(my_list)
Iv my_list.remove(‘u’) ['s', 'c', 'c', 'e', 's', 's']
print(my_list)
v print(my_list[-4]) c
2.
VI. Answer in one word:
1. Which function returns the type of the variable passed?
Ans: type()
2. Which function is used to get the length of a string or list?
Ans: len()
3. Which method is used to remove the last item from a list?
Ans: pop()
VII. Answer the Following
1. How will you change values in tuples?
Ans: Tuple values can be changed by converting it in to list using list() method, then modify
the list and then convert the list back in to tuple using tuple() method.
2. Write a short note on lists.
Ans: A List is a collection which is ordered and changeable. In python, lists are written with
square brackets.
Example: fruits=["Apple", "Banana"]
3. List any 5 keywords used in Python.
Ans:
4. What are the various types of operators that can be used in Python?
Ans: The different types of operators:
• Arithmetic Operator
• Comparison (or Relational) Operator
• Logical Operator
• Assignment Operator
• Bitwise Operator
• Membership Operator
• Identity Operator
