Question 3
What is the result of following statement, if the input is 'Fun'?
print(input("...") + "trial" + "Ooty" * 3)
Answer
The result of the statement is:
FuntrialOotyOotyOoty
Question 4
Which of the following is not a Python legal string operation?
( a) 'abc' + 'abc'
(b) 'abc' * 3
(c) 'abc' + .3
(d) 'abc.lower()
Answer
'abc' + .3 is not a legal string operation in Python. The operands of +
operator should be both string or both numeric. Here one operand is
string and other is numeric. This is not allowed in Python.
Question 5
Can you say strings are character lists? Why? Why not?
Answer
trings are sequence of characters where each character has a unique
S
index. This implies that strings are iterable like lists but unlike lists they
re immutable so they cannot be modified at runtime. Therefore, strings
a
can't be considered as character lists. For example,
tr
s ='cat'
# The below statement
# is INVALID as strings
# are immutable
str[
0
]
=
'b'
Considering character lists
#
strList
=[
'
c',
'a'
,
't'
]
# The below statement
# is VALID as lists
# are mutable
strList[
0
]
=
'b'
Question 6
iven a string S = "CARPE DIEM". If n is length/2 (length is the length of
G
the given string), then what would following return?
( a) S[: n]
(b) S[n :]
(c) S[n : n]
(d) S[1 : n]
(e) S[n : length - 1]
Answer
( a) CARPE
(b) DIEM
(c) (Empty String)
(d) ARPE
(e) DIE
Question 7
rom the string S = "CARPE DIEM", which ranges return "DIE" and
F
"CAR"?
Answer
. S[6:9] returns DIE
1
2. S[:3] returns CAR
Question 8
hat happens when from a string slice you skip the start and/or end
W
values of the slice?
Answer
If start value is skipped, it is assumed as 0 i.e. the slice begins from the
start of the string.
If end value is skipped, it is assumed as the last index of the string i.e.
the slice extends till the end of the string.
Question 9
What would the following expressions return?
. "Hello World".upper( ).lower( )
1
2. "Hello World".lower( ).upper( )
3. "Hello World".find("Wor", 1, 6)
4. "Hello World".find("Wor")
5. "Hello World".find("wor")
6. "Hello World".isalpha( )
7. "Hello World".isalnum( )
8. "1234".isdigit( )
9. "123FGH".isdigit( )
Answer
1. hello world
. HELLO WORLD
2
3. -1
4. 6
5. -1
6. False
7. False
8. True
9. False
Explanation
1. upper() first converts all letters of "Hello World" to uppercase. Then
"HELLO WORLD".lower() converts all letters to lowercase.
2. lower() first converts all letters of "Hello World" to lowercase. Then
"hello world".upper() converts all letters to uppercase.
3. "Hello World".find("Wor", 1, 6) searches for the presence of
substring "Wor" between 1 and 6 indexes of string "Hello World".
Substring from 1 to 6 index is "ello W". As "Wor" is not present in
this hence the result is False.
4. "Hello World".find("Wor") searches for the presence of substring
"Wor" in the entire "Hello World" string. Substring "Wor" starts at
index 6 of "Hello World" hence the result is 6.
5. "Hello World".find("wor") searches for the presence of substring
"wor" in the entire "Hello World" string. find() performs case
sensitive search so "wor" and "Wor" are different hence the result
is -1.
6. "Hello World".isalpha( ) checks if all characters in the string as
alphabets. As a space is also present in the string hence it returns
False.
7. "Hello World".isalnum( ) checks if all characters in the string are
either alphabets or digits. As a space is also present in the string
which is neither an alphabet nor a string hence it returns False.
8. "1234".isdigit( ) checks if all characters in the string are digits or
not. As all characters are digits hence the result is True.
9. As "FGH" in the string "123FGH" are not digits hence the result is
False.
Question 10
hich functions would you choose to use to remove leading and trailing
W
white spaces from a given string?
Answer
lstrip() removes leading white-spaces, rstrip() removes trailing
white-spaces and strip() removes leading and trailing white-spaces from
a given string.
Question 11
ry to find out if for any case, the string functions isalnum( ) and isalpha(
T
) return the same result
Answer
isalnum( ) and isalpha( ) return the same result in the following cases:
1. If string contains only alphabets then both isalnum( ) and isalpha( )
return True. For example, "Hello".isalpha() and "Hello".isalnum()
return True.
2. If string contains only special characters and/or white-spaces then
both isalnum( ) and isalpha( ) return False. For example,
"*#".isalpha() and "*#".isalnum() return False.
Question 12
Suggest appropriate functions for the following tasks:
. To check whether the string contains digits
1
2. To find for the occurrence a string within another string
3. To convert the first letter of a string to upper case
. to capitalize all the letters of the string
4
5. to check whether all letters of the string are in capital letters
6. to remove from right of a string all string-combinations from a given
set of letters
7. to remove all white spaces from the beginning of a string
Answer
. isdigit()
1
2. find()
3. capitalize()
4. upper()
5. isupper()
6. rstrip(characters)
7. lstrip()
Question 13
In a string slice, the start and end values can be beyond limits. Why?
Answer
tring slicing always returns a subsequence and empty subsequence is
S
a valid sequence. Thus, when a string is sliced outside the bounds, it still
can return empty subsequence and hence Python gives no errors and
returns empty subsequence.
Question 14
an you specify an out of bound index when accessing a single
C
character from a string? Why?
Answer
e cannot specify an out of bound index when accessing a single
W
character from a string, it will cause an error. When we use an index, we
are accessing a constituent character of the string. If the index is out of
ounds there is no character to return from the given index hence
b
Python throws string index out of range error.
Question 15
Can you add two strings? What effect does ' + ' have on strings?
Answer
es two strings can be added using the '+' operator. '+' operator
Y
concatenates two strings.

123
)
x
=
"hello" *
3
print
(x, y)
x
=
"hello" +
"world"
y
=
len(x)
print
(y, x)
Answer
Output
ellohellohello 123
h
10 helloworld
Explanation
s tr(123) converts the number 123 to string and stores in y so y becomes
"123". "hello" * 3 repeats "hello" 3 times and stores it in x so x becomes
"hellohellohello".
" hello" + "world" concatenates both the strings so x becomes
"helloworld". As "helloworld" contains 10 characters so len(x) returns 10.

produced by Line 1?
. 1
1
2. 3
3. 5
4. 0
5. None of these
Answer
Option 2 — 3
Explanation
s length of smaller input is 3, for loop executes 3 times so 3 characters
A
are added to newStr. Hence, length of newStr is 3.
( ii) Given a first input of 12345 and a second input of 246, what result is
produced by Line 2?
. 369
1
2. 246
3. 234
4. 345
5. None of these
Answer
Option 1 — 369
Explanation
For loop executes 3 times as length of smaller input is 3.
1st Iteration
result = 2 + 1
⇒ result = 3
ewStr = '' + '3'
n
⇒ newStr = '3'
large = 2345
2nd Iteration
result = 4 + 2
⇒ result = 6
ewStr = '3' + '6'
n
⇒ newStr = '36'
large = 345
3rd Iteration
result = 6 + 3
⇒ result = 9
ewStr = '36' + '9'
n
⇒ newStr = '369'
large = 45
Final value of newStr is '369'.

2. 7
3. 12
4. 45
5. None of these
Answer
Option 2 — 7
Explanation
or loop executes 3 times as length of smaller input is 3. Initial value of
F
large is 4567.
1st Iteration
large = large[1:]
⇒ large = 567
nd Iteration
2 large = large[1:]
⇒ large = 67
rd Iteration
3 large = large[1:]
⇒ large = 7
( iv) Given a first input of 123 and a second input of 4567, what result is
produced by Line 4?
. 123
1
2. 4567
3. 7
4. 3
5. None of these
Answer
Option 1 — 123
Explanation
s length of 123 is less than length of 4567 so 123 is assigned to
A
variable small and gets printed in line 4.
Question 7a
Find the output if the input string is 'Test'.
S =input (
"Enter String :"
)
RS
=" "
for
ch inS
:
RS
=
ch+RS
print
(
S
+RS
)
Answer
Output
TesttseT
Explanation
he for loop reverses the input string and stores the reversed string in
T
variable RS. After that original string and reversed string are
concatenated and printed.
Question 7b
Find the output if the input string is 'Test'.
S =input (
"Enter String :"
)
RS
=" "
for
ch inS
:
RS
=
ch+2
+
RS
print
(
S
+RS
)
Answer
he program gives an error at lineRS = ch + 2 + RS.The operands to +
T
are a mix of string and integer which is not allowed in Python.
Question 8a
Find the errors. Find the line numbers causing errors.
. S = "PURA VIDA"
1
2. print(S[9] + S[9 : 15])
Answer
he error is in line 2. Length of string S is 9 so its indexes range for 0 to
T
8. S[9] is causing error as we are trying to access out of bound index.
Question 8b
Find the errors. Find the line numbers causing errors.
. S = "PURA VIDA"
1
2. S1 = S[: 10] +S[10 :]
3. S2 = S[10] + S[-10]
Answer
he error is in line 3. Length of string S is 9 so its forward indexes range
T
for 0 to 8 and backwards indexes range from -1 to -9. S[10] and S[-10]
are trying to access out of bound indexes.
Question 8c
Find the errors. Find the line numbers causing errors.
. S = "PURA VIDA"
1
2. S1 = S * 2
3. S2 = S1[-19] + S1[-20]
4. S3 = S1[-19 :]
Answer
he error is in line 3. S1[-19] and S1[-20] are trying to access out of
T
bound indexes.
Question 8d
Find the errors. Find the line numbers causing errors.
. S = "PURA VIDA"
1
2. S1 = S[: 5]
3. S2 = S[5 :]
4. S3 = S1 * S2
5. S4 = S2 + '3'
6. S5 = S1 + 3
Answer
he errors are in line 4 and line 6. Two strings cannot be multiplied. A
T
string and an integer cannot be added.
Question 9

Question 10
rite a program to convert a given number into equivalent Roman
W
number (store its value as a string). You can use following guidelines to
develop solution for it:
● F rom the given number, pick successive digits, using %10 and /10
to gather the digits from right to left.
● The rules for Roman Numerals involve using four pairs of symbols
for ones and five, tens and fifties, hundreds and five hundreds. An
additional symbol for thousands covers all the relevant bases.
● When a number is followed by the same or smaller number, it
means addition. "II" is two 1's = 2. "VI" is 5 + 1 = 6.
● When one number is followed by a larger number, it means
subtraction. "IX" is 1 before 10 = 9. "IIX isn't allowed, this would be
"VIII". For numbers from 1 to 9, the symbols are "I" and "V", and
the coding works like this. "I" , "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII", "VIII",
"IX".
● The same rules work for numbers from 10 to 90, using "X" and "L".
For numbers from 100 to 900, using the symbols "C" and "D". For
numbers between 1000 and 4000, using "M".
