Part – III

Answer any six questions. Question No. 29 is compulsory. [6 × 3 = 18]

Question 25.
Write note on Asymptotic Notations. Classify them.
Asymptotic Notations are languages that uses meaningful statements about time and space complexity. The following three asymptotic notations are mostly used to represent time complexity of algorithms:
(i) Big O
Big O is often used to describe the worst-case of an algorithm.

(ii) Rig Ω
Big Omega is the reverse Big O, if Bi O is used to describe the upper bound (worst – case) of a asymptotic function, Big Omega is used to describe the lower bound (best-case).

(iii) Big Θ
When an algorithm has a complexity with lower bound = upper bound, say that an algorithm has a complexity O (n log n) and Ω (n log n), it’s actually has the complexity Θ (n log n), which means the running time of that algorithm always falls in n log n in the best-case and worst-case.

CSV File cannot store charts or graphs. It stores data but does not contain formatting, formulas, macros, etc.
A CSV file is also known as a Flat File. Files in the CSV format can be imported to and exported from programs that store data in tables, such as Microsoft Excel or Open Office Calc.

Question 27.
Write note on where clause in SQL.
Answer:
The WHERE clause is used to filter the records. It helps to extract only those records which satisfy a given condition. For example in the student table, to display the list of students of age 18 and above in alphabetical order of their names, the command is given as below: SELECT * FROM Student WHERE Age>=18 ORDER BY Name;

Question 28.
Give an example and syntax for group by clause.
Answer:
The syntax for the GROUP BY clause is
SELECT <column-names> FROM <table-name> GROUP BY <column-name>HAVING condition];
To apply the above command on the student table :
SELECT Gender FROM Student GROUP BY Gender;
The following command will give the below given result:
Gender
M
F

The point to be noted is that only two results have been returned. This is because we only have two gender types ‘Male’ and ‘Female’. The GROUP BY clause grouped all the ‘M’ students together and returned only a single row for it. It did the same with the ‘F’ students. For example to count the number of male and female students in the student table, the following command is given :

SELECT Gender, count(*) FROM Student GROUP BY Gender;

Gender Count*
M 5
F 3

(b) Explain list and range ( ) functions in python with sample program.
Answer:
The range( ) is a function used to generate a series of values in Python. Using range( ) function, you can create list with series of values. The range() function has three arguments.
Syntax of range ( ) function:
range (start value, end value, step value)
where,

  • start value – beginning value of series. Zero is the default beginning value.
  • end value – upper limit of series. Python takes the ending value as upper limit – 1.
  • step value – It is an optional argument, which is used to generate different interval of values.

Example : Generating whole numbers up to 10
for x in range (1, 11):
print(x)

Question 38.
(a) Explain literals in python.
Answer:
Literal is a raw data given in a variable or constant. In Python, there are various types of literals.
(i) Numeric (ii) String (iii) Boolean

(i) Numeric Literals: Numeric Literals consists of digits and are immutable (unchangeable).
Numeric literals can belong to 3 different numerical types Integer, Float and Complex.
To demonstrate Numeric literals
# Program to demonstrate Numeric Literals
a = 0b 1010 #Binary Literals
b = 100 #Decimal Literal
c = 0o310 #Octal Literal
d = Ox12c #Hexadecimal Literal
print (“Integer Literals :”,a,b,c,d)
#Float Literal
float_1 = 10.5
float_2 = 1.5e2
print (“Float Literals :”,float_l,float_2)
#Complex Literal
x = 1 + 3.14 j
print (“Complex Literals :”, x)
Print (“x = “, x , “Imaginary part of x = “, x.imag, “Real part of x = “, x.real)
#End of the Program

Output:
Integer Literals : 10 100 200 300
Float Literals : 10.5 150.0
Complex Literals :
x = (1.3.14) Imaginary part of x = 3.14 Real part of 9 x = 1.0

(ii) String Literals: In Python a string literal is a sequence of characters surrounded by quotes. Python supports single, double and triple quotes for a string. A character literal is a single character surrounded by single or double quotes. The value with triple-quote is used to give multi line string literal.

(iii) Boolean Literals: A Boolean literal can have any of the two values: True or False.

(iv) Escape Sequences: In Python strings, the backslash “\” is a special character, also called the “escape” character. It is used in representing certain whitespace characters: “\t” is a tab, “\n” is a newline, and “\r” is a carriage return. For example to print the message “It’s raining”, the Python command is
>>> print (“It\’s rainning”)
It’s rainning
Python supports the following escape sequence characters.

(b) Explain Recursive functions in python.
Answer:
When a function calls itself is known as recursion. Recursion works like loop but sometimes it makes more sense to use recursion than loop. You can convert any loop to recursion.

A recursive function calls itself. Imagine a process would iterate indefinitely if not stopped by some condition! Such a process is known as infinite iteration. The condition that is applied in any recursive function is known as base condition. A base condition is must in every recursive function otherwise it will continue to execute like an infinite loop.

Overview of how recursive function works
(i) Recursive function is called by some external code.
(ii) If the base condition is met then the program gives meaningful output and exits.
(iii) Otherwise, function does some required processing and then calls itself to continue recursion. .

Example:
def fact(n):
if n == 0:
return 1
else:
return n * fact (n-1)
print (fact (0))
print (fact (5))
Output:
1
