3-Mark Questions
1. Explain the process of program execution in Python using an interpreter.
o Python uses an interpreter to execute programs. The interpreter
processes the program statements one by one, translating and executing
each statement sequentially until an error is encountered or the entire
program is executed. If an error occurs, execution stops. This contrasts
with a compiler, which translates the entire source code into object code
before execution .
2. What is the significance of the Python prompt >>>?
o The >>> prompt in Python indicates that the interpreter is ready to accept

instructions. This prompt is displayed in the Python interactive mode,
also known as the Python shell, where users can type commands or
statements to be executed immediately .
3. Describe the use of indentation in Python.
o Indentation in Python is used to define the blocks of code. Unlike other
programming languages that use braces or keywords, Python relies on
indentation levels to group statements. Consistent indentation is crucial
because it directly affects the program's structure and execution .
4. Explain the concept of 'interactive mode' with an example.
o Interactive mode in Python allows users to type and execute Python
commands directly at the >>> prompt. This mode is useful for testing
and debugging code snippets. For example:
>>> print("Hello, World!")

Hello, World!
This command is executed immediately, and the result is displayed on

the screen . 21
5. What are the rules for naming an identifier in Python?

o Identifiers in Python must follow these rules:
1. Must start with a letter (a-z, A-Z) or an underscore (_).
2. Can contain letters, digits (0-9), and underscores.
3. Cannot start with a digit.
4. Python keywords cannot be used as identifiers.
5. Identifiers are case-sensitive .
6. Explain with an example how variables are declared in Python.
o Variables in Python are declared by assigning a value to a name. For
example:
x = 10
name = "Alice"
Here, x is an integer variable with a value of 10, and name is a string

variable with a value of "Alice" .
7. How does Python handle data types?

o Python handles data types dynamically, meaning variables do not need
to be declared with a specific type. Python supports various data types,
including integers, floats, strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets. The
type of a variable is determined at runtime based on the value assigned
to it .
8. Describe the purpose of comments in a Python program.
o Comments in Python are used to document the code and make it easier
to understand. They are ignored by the interpreter and can be single-line
comments starting with # or multi-line comments enclosed in triple
quotes (''' or """). Comments help explain the logic and purpose of
22
the code, making it easier to maintain and collaborate with others .
9. Explain the significance of the id() function in Python.
o The id() function in Python returns the unique identity (memory
address) of an object. This identity is guaranteed to be unique and
constant for the object during its lifetime. The id() function is useful
for understanding the object's behavior and identity management in
memory .
10. Differentiate between None and False in Python keywords.
o None is a special constant in Python representing the absence of a value
or a null value. It is often used to signify that a variable has no value.
False, on the other hand, is a Boolean value indicating the logical false.

It is used in logical operations and comparisons. While None and False
are distinct, both can be used in condition checks where None evaluates
to False in a Boolean context .
11. What is meant by 'Python is platform-independent'?
o Python is considered platform-independent because Python programs
can run on various operating systems without modification. This is
possible because Python code is interpreted, and the Python interpreter
abstracts the underlying platform details. As long as the system has a
compatible Python interpreter installed, the same Python code can run
on Windows, macOS, Linux, and other platforms .
12. Describe how Python uses indentation for blocks and nested blocks.
o In Python, indentation is used to define the scope of loops, functions,
and other constructs. Consistent indentation levels indicate a block of
code. For nested blocks, each new block is indented further, usually by
four spaces. This indentation helps Python understand the grouping of
statements, replacing the need for braces or keywords used in other
languages . 23
13. Explain the term 'portable' in the context of Python.
o The term 'portable' in the context of Python refers to the ability to write
Python code that can run on different operating systems and
environments without requiring changes. Python achieves portability
through its interpreter, which handles platform-specific details,
allowing the same code to execute on any system with a compatible
Python interpreter .
14. What are Python libraries and why are they important?
o Python libraries are collections of modules and packages that provide
pre-written code to perform common tasks. They are important because
they save developers time and effort by offering reusable code for
various functionalities, such as data manipulation, web development,
machine learning, and more. Popular Python libraries include NumPy,
Pandas, Matplotlib, and TensorFlow .
15. Describe how to download and install Python.
o To download and install Python:
1. Visit the official Python website (https://www.python.org/).
2. Download the installer for your operating system.
3. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Ensure that the option to add Python to the system PATH is
selected.
5. Verify the installation by opening a command prompt or
terminal and typing python --version .
16. What is meant by 'Python is free and open source'?
o Python being 'free and open source' means that it is freely available for
anyone to use, modify, and distribute. The source code of Python is
24 openly accessible, allowing developers to contribute to its development

and customize it as needed. This openness fosters a large and active
community that continually improves the language and its ecosystem .
5-Mark Questions
