Script mode: In script mode you can write a complete python program that has multiple lines
this can be saved as a program file you can then run the entire program in one go anytime you
want.
2. Which symbol is used for comments in python?
Ans: In python comment starts with # character.
3. How will you run a program in script mode?
Ans: Steps to run a program in script mode are:
1. Click File New file
2. In the new window that opens, type the program.
3. Save the program by clicking File Save As. The Save As dialog box appears. Type the file
name and click Ok.
4. What is a keyword mention any two keywords in python?
Ans: keywords are reserve words that have a predefined meaning. They are easy to recognise in
ideally because they appear in orange. Some examples are and, del, def etc.
5. What is the difference between ‘\t’ and ‘\n’ (escape sequence characters)?

6. Why is python a popular programming language mention any four reasons.
Ans: Python is a popular programming language mainly due to the following reasons:
It has a simple syntax and easy to learn.
It is an interpreted language and therefore it is easy to debug.
It is portable that is the code can run on different platforms like windows and LINUX
without any change.
It is a free and open source language it is freely available for download from the website
http:// www.python.org.
7. What are the rules for naming a python variable?
Ans: Every variable in a program must have a unique name. following are the rules for a variable

8. How will you assign single and multiple strings in python?
Ans: A string type of data (str) refers to a sequence of characters and numbers in single quotes or
double quotes. For multiple strings you can use triple single quotes or triple double quotes.
9. Name the data types available in python. Also mention whether they are mutable and
immutable.
Ans: In python, the data store in memory can be of the following types: Numbers, None,
Sequence, Sets, Mapping, Integers, float.
Data types in python can be mutable or immutable.
The values in a mutable data type can be changed after they are created.
The values in an immutable data type cannot be changed without changing their identity.
For a change in value in an immutable data type, a new memory location is allocated.
10. Define Arithmatic Operators.
Ans:
Arithmetic Operators: Arithmetic Operators are binary operators that perform mathematical
calculations.
