Upper Case.

2. None object will be returned, (no return statement).

3. The rmdir() method deletes an empty directory, which is passed as an argument in the
method. Before removing a directory, all the contents in it should be deleted, i.e.
directory should be empty. OSError will be raised if the specified path is not an empty
directory.

4. (a) 'wi'

have a global scope. They can be accessed in the whole program anywhere (including
inside functions).

11. When the array is unsorted liner search is used Binary search is performed in a
sorted array.

12. mysql > SELECT SUM (sal), AVG (sal), MAX (sal), MIN (sal) FROM empl;

13. These are data structures whose elements form a sequence e.g. Stack, queue and
linked lists.

14. (b) ID

17. A Database connection is a facility that allows client software to talk to database
server software, whether on the same machine or not.

18. The wildcard character is used to substitute one or more characters in a string.
They are used with the LIKE operator to search a value similar to a specific pattern in
a column. There are 2 wildcard operators.
% - represents 0,1 or many characters
— represents a single number or character.

19. A repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal, amplifies it and then
retransmits it on the network so that the signal can cover longer distances.

20. MySQLdb is an interface for connecting to a MySQL database server from Python. It
implements the Python Database API v2.0 and is built on top of the MySQL API.

lis[i] = lis[i - 1]
lis[0] = last
print(lis)

25. Phishing is fraudulent attempts by cybercriminals to obtain private information. For

e.g.a message prompt your personal information by pretending that the bank/mail
service provider is updating its website. There are various phishing techniques used
by attackers:

Embedding a link in an email to redirect to an unsecured website that requests

sensitive information
Installing a Trojan via a malicious email attachment
 Spoofing the sender’s address in an email to appear as a reputable source and
request sensitive information
Attempting to obtain information over the phone by impersonating a known
company vendor.

OR

i. FM: Frequency Modulation

ii. AM: Amplitude Modulation
iii. NFS: Network File Server
iv. FTP: File Transfer Protocol

26. An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical identification and logical address that
is assigned to devices connected in a computer network. An IP address is used to
uniquely identify devices on the internet and so one can quickly know the location of
the system in the network.
In a network, every machine can be identified by a unique IP address associated with
it and thus help in providing network security to every system connected in a
network.

27. Fruitful function - The functions that return a value i.e., non-void functions are also
known as fruitful functions.
Non - fruitful function - The functions that do not return a value, i.e., void functions
are also known as non-fruitful functions.

OR

Output of the code is:

Name a not defined.

Since, a was declared after its use in myfunc() function a = 2 is declared, after the
statement y = a, resulting in the not defined error.

28. N = int(input("Enter N: "))

step = N // abs(N)
sum = 0
for i in range(N, 2*N + step, step):
 sum += i
print(sum)

29. All variables in a program may not be accessible at all locations in that program. This
depends on the location of the declaration of the variable. The scope of a variable
determines the region of the program where you can access a particular identifier. If
a variable is accessed outside the scope, Python gives an error of "variable_name is
not defined".
There are two basic scopes of variables in Python :

i. Global variables that are accessible throughout the program anywhere inside all
functions have global scope.
ii. Local variables that are accessible only inside the function where they are
declared, have local scope.

30. The given query is erroneous because it involves pattern matching.

The correct operator to be used for pattern matching is LIKE. Also, there is NULL
comparison and for it also incorrect operator is used. The correct operator for NULL
comparison is IS. Thus, the correct SQL statement will be :
SELECT Name, class FROM students WHERE Stream-name IS NULL OR Stream-
name LIKE "%computers" ;

31. Data types are the classification of data items. Data types represent a kind of value
which determines what operations can be performed on that data. Some common
data types are Integer, Float, Varchar, Char, String, etc.
Main objectives of datatypes are:

i. Optimum usage of storage space

ii. Represent all possible values
iii. Improve data integrity

32. Degree. The number of columns or attributes or fields in a relation/table is called the
table's degree.
Cardinality. The number of rows/tuples/record in a relation/table is called the table's
cardinality. For example, for a table shown below :
 BookNo. Name Author Price

B01 Good learning Xion Z. 220

B02 Smile easy T. Singh 350

B03 I to U S. Sandeep 250

Its degree is 4 (4 columns)

Cardinality is 3 (3 rows)

33. v = 3 # v must be defined before being used

if v < 5:
for j in range(v):
print('ABC") # () missing for print()
else: # wrong indentation; else clause can either be for if
# or for for loop
print ( "XYZ” ) # () missing for print()

Section- II

34. This program is used to create a file and store the data in that file:

fp1 = open("phonebook.dat", 'w')

fp1.write ("Name")
fp1.write (" ")
fp1.wite ("Phone")
fp1.write ("\n")
while True:
name = raw_input ("Enter name:")
phno = raw_input ("Enter phone no:")
fp1.write (name)
fp1.write (" ")
fp1.write ("phno")
fp1.write ("\n")
ch = raw_Input ("Want to enter more=y/n")
if ch == 'N’ OR ch == 'n’:
 break
fp1.close()

35. def stringCompare(str1, str2):

if str1.length() != str2.length() :
return False
else:
for i in range (str1.length()):
if str1[i] != str2[i]:
return False
else:
return True

first_string = raw_input("Enter First string:")

second_string = raw_input("Enter Second string:")
if stringCompare(first_string, second_string):
print ("Given Strings are same.")
else:
print ("Given Strings are different.")

OR

date = input ("Enter date in MMDDYYYY format: ")

def prettyPrint(date):
months={1: 'January', 2: 'February', 3: 'March', 4: 'April', 5: 'May', 6: 'June', 7: 'July', 8:
'August', 9: 'September', 10: 'October', 11: 'November', 12: 'December'}
month = months[int(date[:2])]
day = date[2:4]
year = date[4:]
prettyDate = month + " " + day + ", " + year
print(prettyDate)
print(prettyPrint(date))

36. A module in python is a .py file that defines one or more function/classes which you
intend to reuse in different codes of your program. To reuse the functions of a given
 module, we simply need to import the module using the import command.
A Python package is a collection of python modules under a common namespace
created by placing different modules on a directory along with some special files. This
feature comes in handy for organizing modules of one type in one place.

37.

26. An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical identification and logical address that
is assigned to devices connected in a computer network. An IP address is used to
uniquely identify devices on the internet and so one can quickly know the location of
the system in the network.
In a network, every machine can be identified by a unique IP address associated with
it and thus help in providing network security to every system connected in a
network.

weight = raw_input ("Enter the weight")
favourite_game = raw_input ("Enter favorite game")
print ("your height", height, 'and weight', weight)
print ("and your favourite game is", favourite_game, '.')
 Errors : Function name should not have spaces. We can use underscore in place of
spaces.
No variable is defined to obtain value being input, we can use a variable to take input.
Lines 4 and 6 are badly indented; being part of same function, those should be at the
same indentation level as that of lines 2, 3, 5 and 7.
And also, variable favourite-game is an invalid identifier as it contains a hyphen, but
it should have been an underscore.

36. As the application program grows larger in size with a lot of modules, we place
similar modules in one package and different modules in different packages. This
makes a project easy to manage and conceptually clear.

37. i. The default parameters are parameters with a default value set to them. This
default value is automatically considered as the passed value WHEN no value is
provided for that parameter in the function call statement.
Thus default arguments are useful when we want to skip an argument in a
function call statement and use the default value for it instead.
ii. The keyword arguments give complete control and flexibility over the values sent
as arguments for the corresponding parameters. Irrespective of the placement and
order of arguments, keyword arguments are correctly matched. A keyword
argument is where you provide a name to the variable as you pass it into the
function.

38. Internet Protocol (IP) is a set of technical rules that define how computers
communicate over a network. There are currently two versions: IP version 4 (IPv4)
 and IP version 6 (IPv6).
IPv4 was the first version of Internet Protocol to be widely used and still accounts for
most of today's Internet traffic. There are just over 4 billion IPv4 addresses. While that
is a lot of IP addresses, it is not enough to last forever. IPv4 and IPv6 are internet
protocol version 4 and internet protocol version 6, IP version 6 is the new version of
Internet Protocol, which is way better than IP version 4 in terms of complexity and
efficiency.
IPv6 is a newer numbering system to replace IPv4. It was deployed in 1999 and
provides far more IP addresses, which should meet the need well into the future.
The major difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the number of IP addresses. Although
there are slightly more than 4 billion IPv4 addresses, there are more than 16 billion-
billion IPv6 addresses.
