1. What is the difference between else and elif construct of if statement?
Answer: – else statement does not allow to check the condition, while elif allow to check the condition. elif is use to handle the multiple situations.
2. What is the purpose of range() function? Give one example.
Answer: – The purpose of range() function is to generate a sequence (list) of numbers, started from start and ended at end-1, with the gap of step. i.e. to generate a list.
It becomes useful when we want to execute loop n-times, generate a list of integers.
Syntax :
(a) range(end),
(b) range(start, end),
(c) start(start, end, step)
For example:
>>> range(5) # generate a list like [0,1,2,3,4]
>>> range(2, 6) # generate a list like [ 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> range(1, 10, 3) #generate a list like [1,4,7]
3. Differentiate between break and continue statements using examples.
Answer: – break and continue both comes under the category of jump statement. In Python, it is used inside the loop statement.
break:
break jumps the control outside the loop. It is use to terminate the execution of loop on the basis of certain condition. You can also use the break without condition (not preferred).
The break statement immediately exits a loop, skipping the rest of the loop’s body. Execution continues with the statement immediately following the body of the loop.
Syntax: break
Example :
for n in range(1, 20):
if n == 5:
break
print(n, end = ' - ')Output: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 –
continue:
continue jumps the control to the beginning of the loop for the next iteration. It is use to skip the some parts of body of loop and start the next iteration of loop on the basis of certain condition. You can also use the continue without condition (not preferred).
When a continue statement is encountered, the control jumps to the beginning of the loop for the next iteration.
Syntax: continue
Example :
for n in range(1, 10):
if n % 2 == 1:
continue
print(n, end = ' ')Output: 2 4 6 8
4. What is an infinite loop? Give one example.
Answer: – A loop, which never terminates called infinite loop. For Example:
# Example 1:
n = 1
while True:
print(n, end = ' ')
# Example 2:
n = 1
while n <= 10:
print(n, end = ' ')

Case Study-based Questions
Let us add more functionality to our SMIS developed in Chapter 5.
6.1 Write a menu driven program that has options to
• accept the marks of the student in five major subjects in Class X and display the same.
• calculate the sum of the marks of all subjects. Divide the total marks by number of subjects (i.e. 5), calculate percentage = total marks/5 and display the percentage.
• Find the grade of the student as per the following criteria:
| Criteria | Grade |
| percentage > 85 | A |
| percentage < 85 && percentage >= 75 | B |
| percentage < 75 && percentage >= 50 | C |
| percentage > 30 && percentage <= 50 | D |
| percentage <30 | Reappear |
Let’s peer review the case studies of others based on the parameters given under “DOCUMENTATION TIPS” at the end of Chapter 5 and provide a feedback to them.
