data
Data hiding: Data hiding is a concept which underlines the hiding of data or information abstraction
from the user. Data hiding is a software development technique specifically used in and data
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) to hide internal object details (data members). hiding)
Data hiding includes a process of combining the data and functions into a single unit to
conceal data within a class by restricting direct access to the data from outside the class.

2. Attempt any THREE of the following: 12 M

a) Explain with example: 4M

i) Indentation
ii) Variables
Ans i) Indentation: For each
• Python provides no braces to indicate blocks of code for class and function correct
definitions or flow control. explanation
• Blocks of code are denoted by line indentation, which is compulsory. and
• The number of spaces in the indentation is variable, but all statements within Example – 2
the block must be indented the same amount. M

Figure of Indentation
• Example:
if True:
print "True"
else:
print "False"
• Thus, in Python all the continuous lines indented with same number of spaces
would form a block.
ii) Variables:
• Python Variable is containers that store values.
• We do not need to declare variables before using them or declare their type.
• A variable is created the moment we first assign a value to it.
• A Python variable is a name given to a memory location.
• It is the basic unit of storage in a program.
• Variable Naming Rules in Python
1) Variable name should start with letter(a-z ,A-Z) or underscore (_).
Example: age, _age, Age
2) In variable name, no special characters allowed other than underscore (_).
Example: age_, _age
3) Variables are case sensitive.
Example: age and Age are different, since variable names are case
sensitive.
4) Variable name can have numbers but not at the beginning.
Example: Age1
5) Variable name should not be a Python reserved keyword.
• Example:

• NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python. correct
NumPy stands for "Numerical Python". It provides a high-performance explanation)
multidimensional array object, and tools for working with these arrays.
• An array is a table of elements (usually numbers), all of the same type,
indexed by a tuple of positive integers and represented by a single variable.
NumPy's array class is called ndarray. It is also known by the alias array.
• In NumPy arrays, the individual data items are called elements. All elements
of an array should be of the same type. Arrays can be made up of any
number of dimensions.
• In NumPy, dimensions are called axes. Each dimension of an array has a
length which is the total number of elements in that direction.
• The size of an array is the total number of elements contained in an array in
all the dimension. The size of NumPy arrays are fixed; once created it cannot
be changed again.
• Numpy arrays are great alternatives to Python Lists. Some of the key
advantages of Numpy arrays are that they are fast, easy to work with, and
give users the opportunity to perform calculations across entire arrays.

Figure shows the axes (or dimensions) and lengths of two example arrays;
(a) is a one-dimensional array and (b) is a two-dimensional array.

ii) Panda
• Pandas is a powerful and versatile library that simplifies the tasks of data
manipulation in Python.
• Pandas is well-suited for working with tabular data, such as spreadsheets or
SQL tables.
• The Pandas library is an essential tool for data analysts, scientists, and
engineers working with structured data in Python.
• It is built on top of the NumPy library which means that a lot of the
structures of NumPy are used or replicated in Pandas.
• The data produced by Pandas is often used as input for plotting functions in
Matplotlib, statistical analysis in SciPy, and machine learning algorithms in
Scikit-learn.

Name of program is : Program

d) List data types used in python. Explain any two with example. 4M

Ans Python has various standard data types that are used to define the operations possible on 2 M for
them and the storage method for each of them. Data types in Python programming types,
includes:
2 M for two
1. Numbers: Represents numeric data to perform mathematical operations.
proper
2. String: Represents text characters, special symbols or alphanumeric data. examples

3. List: Represents sequential data that the programmer wishes to sort, merge etc.
4. Tuple: Represents sequential data with a little difference from list.
5. Dictionary: Represents a collection of data that associate a unique key with each value.
6. Boolean: Represents truth values (true or false).
Example1: Tuple Data Type
• Tuple is an ordered sequence of items same as list. The only difference is that tuples are
immutable. Tuples once created cannot be modified.
• Tuples are used to write-protect data and are usually faster than list as it cannot change
dynamically. It is defined within parentheses ( ) where items are separated by commas ( ,
).

_________
• A tuple data type in python programming is similar to a list data type, which also
contains heterogeneous items/elements.
Example: For tuple.
a=(10,'abc',1+3j)
print(a)
(10, 'abc', (1+3j))
Example 2:List Data Type
List is an ordered sequence of items. It is one of the most used datatype in Python and is
very flexible.

• List can contain heterogeneous values such as integers, floats, strings, tuples, lists and
dictionaries but they are commonly used to store collections of homogeneous objects.
• The list datatype in Python programming is just like an array that can store a group of
elements and we can refer to these elements using a single name.
• Declaring a list is pretty straight forward. Items separated by commas ( , ) are enclosed
within brackets [ ].
Example:
For list.
first=[10, 20, 30]
# homogenous values in list
second=["One","Two","Three"]
Print(first)
[10, 20, 30]
Print(second)
['One', 'Two', 'Three']

"w": The file will be emptied before the text will be inserted at the current file stream
position, default 0.

Syntax:
file.write(byte)
byte: The text or byte object that will be inserted.
Example:
Open the file with "a" for appending, then add some text to the file:
f = open("demofile2.txt", "a")
f.write("Hi!")
f.close()

• If the file doesn't exist, it raises a FileNotFoundError. M

• When opened in this mode, attempting to write to the file will raise a
UnsupportedOperation error.
• Example: open('file.txt', 'r')
2. Write Mode ('w'):
• Opens the file for writing. If the file doesn't exist, it creates a new file.
• If the file already exists, it truncates the file to zero length.
• Example: open('file.txt', 'w')
3. Append Mode ('a'):
• Opens the file for writing. If the file doesn't exist, it creates a new file.
• If the file already exists, it appends data to the end of the file.
• Example: open('file.txt', 'a')
4. Binary Mode ('b'):
• Opens the file in binary mode. It's used in conjunction with other modes
like read ('rb'), write ('wb'), or append ('ab') to deal with binary files like
images, executables, etc.
• Example: open('image.jpg', 'rb')

_________
• This is the default mode for text files (although you don't explicitly specify
it). It's used to handle text files and performs encoding/decoding of text
automatically.
• Example: open('file.txt', 'rt')
6. Read and Write Mode ('r+'):
• Opens the file for both reading and writing.
• The file pointer is at the beginning of the file.
• Example: open('file.txt', 'r+')
7. Write and Read Mode ('w+'):
• Opens the file for both reading and writing.
• If the file doesn't exist, it creates a new file.
• If the file exists, it truncates the file to zero length.
• Example: open('file.txt', 'w+')
Detailed Explanation of Three Modes:

1. Read Mode ('r'):

• This mode is primarily used when you want to read data from an existing
file.
• It's useful for operations like reading configuration files, log files, or any
other file where you need to retrieve information.
• Reading from a file opened in read mode does not modify the file.
• Attempting to write to a file opened in read mode will raise an error.
2. Write Mode ('w'):
• This mode is used when you want to write data to a file.
• If the file already exists, opening it in write mode will truncate the file to
zero length, effectively deleting its contents.
• If the file doesn't exist, Python will create a new file.
• It's commonly used for tasks like writing output to a file, logging data, or
creating new files.
3. Append Mode ('a'):
• Append mode is similar to write mode but instead of truncating the file, it
appends data to the end of the file.
• If the file doesn't exist, it creates a new file.

_________
• It's useful when you want to add data to an existing file without overwriting
its contents.
• Common use cases include logging, adding new entries to a file, or
maintaining a history of operations.
