9 In C, explain gets(), puts()function with an example 3 1 2 4
Syntax for Accepting String :
char * gets ( char * str ); OR gets( <variable-name> )
Example : #include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
char name[20]; printf("\nEnter the Name : "); gets(name); }
Output:
Enter the name: programming in c

Way 1 :Messaging
⚫ puts(" Type your Message / Instruction ");
⚫ Like Printf Statement puts() can be used to display
message.
Way 2 : Display String
⚫ puts(string_Variable_name) ;
Notes or Facts :
⚫ puts is included in header file “stdio.h”
⚫ As name suggest it used for Printing or Displaying
Messages or Instructions.

14 a. Explain python libraries with examples 5 1 2 10
1. TensorFlow: This library was developed by Google in collaboration with the Brain
Team. It is an open-source library used for high-level computations. It is also used in
machine learning and deep learning algorithms. It contains a large number of tensor
operations. Researchers also use this Python library to solve complex computations in
Mathematics and Physics.
2. Matplotlib: This library is responsible for plotting numerical data. And that’s why it is
used in data analysis. It is also an open-source library and plots high-defined figures like
pie charts, histograms, scatterplots, graphs, etc.
3. Pandas: Pandas are an important library for data scientists. It is an open-source machine
learning library that provides flexible high-level data structures and a variety of analysis
tools. It eases data analysis, data manipulation, and cleaning of data. Pandas support
operations like Sorting, Re-indexing, Iteration, Concatenation, Conversion of data,
Visualizations, Aggregations, etc.

14 Explain the three types of indexing method in Numpy with suitable example. 5 1 2 10
b. Contents of ndarray object can be accessed and modified by indexing or slicing, just like Python's
in-built container objects.
items in ndarray object follows zero-based index. Three types of indexing methods are available
− field access, basic slicing and advanced indexing.
Basic slicing is an extension of Python's basic concept of slicing to n dimensions. A Python slice
object is constructed by giving start, stop, and step parameters to the built-in slice function.
This slice object is passed to the array to extract a part of array.
ndarray object is prepared by arange() function. Then a slice object is defined with start, stop,
and step values 2, 7, and 2 respectively. When this slice object is passed to the ndarray, a part
of it starting with index 2 up to 7 with a step of 2 is sliced.
