Problem Statements

1. Write a Python program to Sum only even natural numbers up to n terms given by the
user. Use control flow tokens.

Solution
n=int(input("enter the number of terms"))
sum=0
for i in range(2,n+1):
if i%2==0:
sum+=i
i+=2
print("sum of even natural numbers up to", n, "terms is:",sum)

Explanation

- The program asks the user to input the number of terms.It initializes a sum
variable to store the sum of even numbers and a counter i starting from 2.The while loop
runs until i reaches n*2 (since we're considering even numbers up to n terms).Inside the
loop, it checks if i is even using the modulus operator (%). If i is even, it adds i to the
sum.The counter i increments by 2 in each iteration to consider only even numbers.
Finally, the program prints the sum of even natural numbers up to n terms.

2. Write a Python program to find the factorial of a number using loops. Take input from the
user.

Solution
n=int(input("enter the number"))
fact=1
for i in range(1,n+1):
fact*=i
print("factorial is",fact)

Explanation
This code takes the number as input from the user. Then fact is declared as a
variable which is assigned to value 1.The for loop is declared to multiply the input
number from 1. Then print statement is used to diplay the factorial.

3. Create a Python program that counts down from 10 to 1 using a while loop. For each
number, if the number is odd, print "Odd: <number>", and if it is even, print "Even:
<number>". When it reaches 0, print "Blast off!".
Expected output:
Odd: 9
Even: 8
Odd: 7
Even: 6
Odd: 5
Even: 4
Odd: 3
Even: 2
Odd: 1
Blast off!

Solution
n=10
while(n>0):
if n%2==0:
print(f"even",n)
else:
print(f"odd",n)
n=n-1
print("blast off")

Explanation:

1. The loop starts with n = 10 and continues until n reaches 0.

2. Inside the loop, it checks if n is even (using n % 2 == 0) and prints "even" followed by
the number, or "odd" if it's not even.
3. The loop decrements n by 1 in each iteration (n = n - 1).
4. Once n reaches 0, the loop ends, and it prints "blast off".

3.Write a Python program that takes a number from the user and prints its multiplication table
(from 1 to 10) using a for loop.

Solution
n=int(input("enter the number"))
print(f"multiplication table of {n} is:")
for i in range(1,11):
print(f"{n} x {i} = {n*i}")

Explanation

Input statement is used to take number for multiplication table. Second statement is used
to print a title for the multiplication table with the number. For loop iterates the number
from 1 to 10. The last statement is used to print the table with the numbers and product.
F string is used for clean and readable strings.

4. Create a Python program that prints the numbers from 1 to 30. For multiples of 3, print
"Fizz" instead of the number, and for multiples of 5, print "Buzz". For numbers that are
multiples of both 3 and 5, print "FizzBuzz".
Expected output:
1
2
Fizz

Buzz
Fizz

8
Fizz
Buzz
11
Fizz
13
14
FizzBuzz

Solution
for i in range(1,30):
if i%3==0:
print("fizz")
elif i%5==0:
print("buzz")
elif i%3 and i%5 ==0:
print("fizz buzz")
else:
print(i)

Explanation
In this code the for loop iterates from 1 to 30. If condition is used to check if the
number is multiple of 3 it prints fizz and if it is a multiple of 5 it prints buzz. If any
number is multiple of 3 and 5 both it prints fizzbuzz.if it is not multiple of 3 or 5 it
prints the number itself

5. Write a Python program that takes a number as input and checks whether the number is
prime or not. A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no divisors other than
1 and itself.

Solution
n=int(input("enter a number"))
if n>1:
for i in range(2,n):
if(n%i)==0:
print(n,"is not prime")
break
else:
print(n,"is prime")
Explanation

The code first checks if n is greater than 1, since prime numbers are greater than 1. It
then iterates from 2 to n-1 and checks if n is divisible by any of these numbers (if (n % i)
== 0). If n is divisible, it prints "n is not prime" and exits the loop using break. Otherwise,
it prints "n is prime".

6. Write a Python program to print a right-angled triangle of numbers where each row
contains the number repeated multiple times. The number of rows is provided by the
user.
For input 5
1
22
333
4444
55555

n=int(input("enter a number"))
for i in range(n+1):
for j in range(i):
print(i,end=" ")
print(" ")

Explanation:

The outer loop (for i in range(n+1)) iterates from 0 to n. The inner loop (for j in
range(i)) prints the number i repeatedly, i times. The end=" " argument in print(i,end=" ")
ensures numbers are printed on the same line, separated by spaces.

7. Write a Python program to find the sum of the digits of a given number. For eg. , for input
123, the output should be 6 (1 + 2 + 3 = 6).

Solution
n=int(input("enter a number"))
sum=0
while(n>0):
rem=n%10
sum=sum+rem
n=n//10
print("sum is",sum)

Explanation:

The user inputs a number, which is stored in n. The code enters a loop where it extracts
the last digit of n using n % 10 (remainder), adds it to the sum, and then removes the last
digit from n using n // 10 (integer division). The loop repeats until n becomes 0.

8. John is using a computer in which arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /, **) are not working. But
as his assignments deadline are near he is looking for alternative methods. Help him out
in solving the below questions using other operators.
a. To calculate the power of 2 up to n terms.
Eg. 2 , 2 , …… ,2
0 1 (n-1)

b. Check whether a given number is even or odd.

Hint - express the given num in the binary number system for analysis
and check the least significant bit. (use pen and paper to analyze )

Eg. 5 => 101

10 => 1010

c. Multiple a given number by 33.

Hint - (n * 2 + n)
5

- (33 = 2 + 2 )
5 0

Try using “bitwise or” and “bitwise shifts” operators instead of addition and
multiplication operators.

Solution
a)
n=int(input("enter the number"))
for i in range(0,n+1):
print("power of 2",i,"",1<<i)
b)
n=int(input("enter the number"))
binary= bin(n)[2:]
if binary[-1]=='0':
print(f"{n} is even")
else:
print(f"{n} is odd")

c)num = int(input('Enter a number: '))

result = (num << 5) + num
print('Result of multiplying', num, 'by 33 is', result)

Explanation
a) The loop iterates from 0 to n (inclusive) using range(0, n+1).Inside the loop, 1 << i
calculates the power of 2 using bitwise left shift operation (equivalent to 2^i).

b) The bin() function converts the input number to its binary representation.The [2:]
slicing removes the '0b' prefix from the binary string. The [-1] indexing accesses
the last character (least significant bit) of the binary string. If the least significant
bit is '0', the number is even; otherwise, it's odd.

c) we prompt the user to enter another number and calculate its product with 33 by
left-shifting the number 1 by 5 positions to multiply it by 32 and then adding the
original number. We print the final result of this multiplication.

b. Imagine you are a student calculating your final semester grade. You have 5 subjects,
and each subject has a score between 1 and 100. Write a Python program that:
 Takes the score of each subject using a for loop.
 Calculates the average score.
 Assigns a grade based on the following scale:
o 90 and above: Grade A
o 80-89: Grade B
o 70-79: Grade C
o 60-69: Grade D
o Below 60: Grade F

Prints the average score and the corresponding grade.

Solution:
total_score=0
score=[]
for i in range(6):
while True:
score=float(input(f"enter score for subject{i+1} (1-100):"))
if 1<=score<=100:
score.append(score)
break
else:
print("invalid score enter a score between 1 and 100")
average_score=sum(scores)/len(scores)
if average_score>=90:
grade="A"

elif 80 <= average_score <90:

grade="B"
elif 70 <= average_score <80:
grade="C"
elif 60 <= average_score <70:
grade="D"
else:
grade="F"
print("\nscores:")
for i, score in enumerate(scores, start=1):
print(f"subject{i}:{score}")
print(f"\naverage score: {average_score:.2f}")
print(f"grade: {grade}")

Explanation

We prompt the user to enter the marks for five subjects using a for loop. Each entered mark is
appended to a list called l. After collecting the marks, we calculate the total by summing the
values in the list and compute the percentage by dividing the total by 6. Then, we determine the
grade based on the percentage: if the percentage is 90 or above, we assign the grade 'A'; if it's
between 80 and 89, we assign 'B'; if it's between 70 and 79, we assign 'C'; if it's between 60 and
69, we assign 'D'; otherwise, we assign 'F'. Finally, we print the calculated percentage and the
corresponding grade.

Hint - Consider using split() method on the input string
eg-
"1:2".split(":") # [‘1’,’2’]
a,b = "1:2".split(":") # a <- '1' ; b <- ‘2
a,b = int(a), int(b) # type casting char/string to integers
