List of Experiments:
1 a. Develop a program to read the student details like Name, USN, and Marks in three
subjects. Display the student details, total marks, and percentage with suitable messages.
b. Develop a program to read the name and year of birth of a person. Display whether the - - 1
person is a senior citizen or not.
2 a. Develop a program to generate Fibonacci sequence of length (N). Read N from the
console.
b. Write a function to calculate factorial of a number. Develop a program to compute - - 1
binomial coefficient (Given N and R).
3 Read N numbers from the console and create a list. Develop a program to print mean,
- - 1
variance, and standard deviation with suitable messages.
4 Read a multi-digit number (as chars) from the console. Develop a program to print the - - 1
frequency of each digit with suitable message.
5 Develop a program to print 10 most frequently appearing words in a text file. [Hint: Use
dictionary with distinct words and their frequency of occurrences. Sort the dictionary in - - 1
the reverse order of frequency and display dictionary slice of first 10 items]
6 Develop a program to sort the contents of a text file and write the sorted contents into a
separate text file. [Hint: Use string methods strip(), len(), list methods sort(), append(), - - 1
and file methods open(), readlines(), and write()].
7 Develop a program to backing Up a given Folder (Folder in a current working directory)
- - 1
into a ZIP File by using relevant modules and suitable methods.
8 Write a function named DivExp which takes TWO parameters a, b and returns a value c
(c=a/b),raise an exception when b=0. Develop a suitable program which reads two values
from the console and calls a function DivExp. - - 1

9 23
Define a function which takes TWO objects representing complex numbers and returns
new complex number with a addition of two complex numbers. Define a suitable class
- - 1
‘Complex’ to represent the complex number. Develop a program to read N (N >=2)
complex numbers and to compute the addition of N complex numbers.
10 Develop a program that uses class Student which prompts the user to enter marks in three
subjects and calculates total marks, percentage and displays the score card details. [Hint:
Use list to store the marks in three subjects and total marks. Use init () method to initialize - - 1
name, USN and the lists to store marks and total, Use getMarks() method to read
marks into the list, and display() method to display the score card details.]
