REVIEW OF PYTHON
LET US REVISE THE CONCEPTS THAT WE LEARNED IN CLASS
XI
Characteristics of Python:
1. Python is Object-Oriented
Python supports concepts such as polymorphism, operator overloading and multiple
inheritance.
2. Indentation
Indentation is one of the greatest features in python – indentation identifies the
blocks of code.
3. Open source Programming Language
Python is an open source programming language.
It can be freely downloaded. Installing python is free and easy
4. It’s Powerful
• Dynamic typing
• Built-in types and tools
• Library utilities
• Third party utilities (e.g. NumPy, SciPy) Automatic memory management
5. It’s Portable and Platform independent
• Python runs virtually in every major platform used today
• As long as you have a compatible python interpreter installed, python
programs will run in exactly the same manner, irrespective of platform.
6. It’s easy to use and learn
• No intermediate compiler
• Python Programs are compiled automatically to an intermediate form called
byte code, which the interpreter then reads.
• This gives python the development speed of an interpreter without the
performance loss inherent in purely interpreted languages.
• Structure and syntax are pretty intuitive and easy to grasp.
7. Interpreted Language
Python is processed at runtime by python Interpreter
8. Interactive Programming Language
Users can interact with the python interpreter directly for writing the programs
9. Straight forward syntax
The formation of python syntax is simple and straight forward which also makes it
popular.
Character Set of Python:
Set of all characters recognised by python. It can be any alphabet, digit or any symbol.
Python uses ASCII character set.
Python Supports the following character set:
Letters: A- Z and a -z
Digits: 0-9
Special Symbols: + , - , /, % , ** , * , [ ], { }, #, $ etc.
White spaces: Blank space, tabs, carriage return, newline, form feed Other
Characters: All ASCII and UNICODE characters.

Tokens:
Tokens are smallest identifiable units. Different
tokens are:
• Keywords: reserved words which are having special meaning.
• Examples: int, print, input, for, while
• Identifiers: name of given by the user to identify variables, functions, constants, etc.
• Literals: literals are constant values. It can be numeric or non-numeric
• Operators: triggers an operation. Parameters provided to the operators are called
operands
Examples: + - * % ** / // Delimiters: Symbols used
as separators.
Examples: {} , [ ] ; :

Rules for identifier names:

• Keywords and operators are not to be used Start with an alphabet or an underscore.
• Special characters other than underscores are allowed.
• Space is not allowed.
• Cannot start with a number.
• Note: Python is case sensitive and hence uppercase and lowercase are treated
differently.
• Example:
o engmark, _abc , mark1, mark2

Variables and data types:

Variables are used to store data. In Python a variable is an object. Variables are nothing but
reserved memory locations to store values. This means that when you create a variable you
reserve some space in memory. Memory locations are addressable.
The data stored in memory can be of many types. For example, a student roll number is
stored as a numeric value and his or her address is stored as alphanumeric characters. Python
has various standard data types that are used to define the operations possible on them and
the storage method for each of them. Some are mutable and some are
immutable.
 • Numeric Types: int, float, complex
• Boolean – True or False values. Used when comparisons are made and the result can
be expressed as True or False
• None – a special type with an unidentified value or absence of value.
• Sequence: an ordered collection of elements. String, List and Tuples are sequences.
Items/elements are Identified by its index.
• Sets – an unordered collection of any type without duplicate entry.
• Mappings – Dictionaries are mappings. Elements of dictionaries are key-value pairs.
Keys are used to access values. Keys are immutable.

Based on the data type of a variable, the interpreter allocates memory and decides what can
be stored in the reserved memory. Therefore, by assigning different data types to variables,
you can store integers, decimals or characters in these variables.

Mutable and Immutable types:

If the values can be changed after creating the variable and assigning values, then it is called
mutable. If the value assigned cannot be changed after creating and initializing it, then it is
known as Immutable.
When an attempt is made to update the immutable type, a new memory location is used
with name remaining the same.

Assigning Values to Variables:

Python variables do not need explicit declaration to reserve memory space. The declaration
happens automatically when you assign a value to a variable. The assignment operator (=)
is used to assign values to variables.
The operand to the left of the = operator is the name of the variable and the operand to the
right of the = operator is the value stored in the variable. For example – a= 100 #an
integer is signed b = 1000.0 # A floating point value c = "John" # A string
d = ‘’’ Hello world good morning’’’
# multi line string
Multiple Assignments:
Python allows you to assign a single value to several variables simultaneously.

For example: a = b = c = 1
Here, an integer object is created with the value 1, and all three variables are assigned to
the same memory location. You can also assign multiple objects to multiple variables.

For example − a,b,c

= 1,2,"kvsch“
Here, two integer objects with values 1 and 2 are assigned to variables a and b respectively,
and one string object with the value "john" is assigned to the variable c. Also, it is possible
to define and initialize multiple variables with different values as given
below
a, b, c = 5,10,20
The above instruction will create three variables named a,b,c and initialize them with values
5, 10 20 respectively.

Output Variables:
The Python print statement is often used to output variables.Variables do not need to be
declared with any particular type. Different type of data can be assigned even after
initializing them with some type of data. x = 5 # x is of type int
x = "kve " # x is now of type str print(x)
Output: kve

To combine both text and a variable, Python uses the “+” character: Example
x = "awesome"
print("Python is " + x) Output of
the above code is:
Python is awesome

You can also use the + character to add a variable to another variable: Example
x = "Python is "
y = "awesome"
z = x + y print(z)
Output:
Python is awesome

Expressions:
An expression is a combination of values, variables, and operators.
An expression is evaluated using assignment operator.
Examples: Y=x + 17
>>> x=10
>>> z=x+20
>>> z
30

>>> x=10
>>> y=20
>>> c=x+y
>>> c
30

A value all by itself is a simple expression, and so is a variable.

>>> y=20
>>> y
20
Python also defines expressions with identifiers, literals, and operators. So,

Operators:
In Python you can implement the following operations using the corresponding operators.
Operators trigger an operation. Some operators need one operand, some need more than
one operand to perform the operation.

Python supports different types of operators including Arithmetic Operators, Relational

Operators, Logical Operators etc.

Operator Token

addition +

subtraction -

multiplication *

Integer Division /

remainder %

Binary left shift <<

Binary right shift >>

and &

or \

Less than <

Greater than >

Less than or equal to <=

Greater than or equal to >=

 Check equality ==

Check not equal !=

Statements:
A statement is an instruction that the Python interpreter can execute. We have normally two
basic statements, the assignment statement and the print statement. Some other kinds of
statements that are if statements, while statements, and for statements generally called as
control flows.

Examples:
An assignment statement creates new variables and gives them values:

>>> x=10
>>> school="kve"

A ‘print’ statement is to display something on the screen/monitor. We use the print()

function for this purpose. And input() function is used to receive the input from the user
through the keyboard.

Precedence of Operators:
Operator precedence affects how an expression is evaluated. Each operator is having a
priority when used in an expression in combination with other operators. For example, x =
7 + 3 * 2;
here, x is assigned 13, not 20 because operator * has higher precedence than +, so it first
multiplies 3*2 and then adds into 7. Example 1:
>>> 3+4*2 11
Multiplication gets evaluated before the addition operation

>>> (10+10)*2 40
Parentheses () overriding the precedence of the arithmetic operators

Example 2:
a =
20
b =
10
c =
15
d =
5e=0

e =
(a + b)
*c/d

#( 30
* 15 )
/5
print("
Value
of (a +
b) * c
/ d is
", e) e
= ((a +
b) * c)
/d

# (30
* 15 )
/5
print("
Value
of ((a
+ b) *
c) / d
is ",
e) e =
(a + b)
* (c /
d)

# (30)
*
(15/5)
print("
Value
of (a +
b) * (c
/ d) is
", e)

e = a + (b * c) / d; # 20 +(150/5) print("Value
of a + (b * c) /d is", e)

Output:
Value of (a + b) * c / d is 90.0
Value of ((a + b) * c) / d is 90.0 Value
of (a + b) * (c / d) is 90.0
Value of a + (b * c) /d is 50.0

Comments:
Comments are discarded by the Python interpreter. Comments acts as some message to the
Programmer. It can be used as documents.

Single-line comments begins with a hash(#) symbol and is useful in mentioning that the
whole line should be considered as a comment until the end of line.
A Multi line comment is useful when we need to comment on many lines. In python, triple
double quote(“ “ “) and single quote(‘ ‘ ‘)are used for multi-line commenting.
Example:
# this is a single line comment
‘’’ I am a multi line comment’’’

Errors and Exceptions:

Python Errors and Built-in Exceptions: Python (interpreter) raises exceptions when it
encounters errors. When writing a program, we, more often than not, will encounter errors.
Error caused by not following the proper structure (syntax) of the language is called syntax
error or parsing error.

ZeroDivisionError: ZeroDivisionError in Python indicates that the second argument used

in a division (or modulo) operation was zero.

Overflow Error: OverflowError in Python indicates that an arithmetic operation has

exceeded the limits of the current Python runtime. This is typically due to excessively large
float values, as integer values that are too big will opt to raise memory errors instead.

Import Error: It is raised when you try to import a module which does not exist. This may
happen if you made a typing mistake in the module name or the module doesn't exist in its
standard path. In the example below, a module named "non_existing_module" is being
imported but it doesn't exist, hence an import error exception is raised.
Index Error: An IndexError exception is raised when you refer a sequence which is out of
range. In the example below, the list abc contains only 3 entries, but the 4th index is being
accessed, which will result an IndexError exception.

Type Error: When two unrelated type of objects are combined, TypeErrorexception is
raised.In example below, an int , and a string is added, which will result in TypeError
exception.

Indentation Error: Unexpected indent - As mentioned in the "expected an indented block"

section, Python not only insists on indentation, it insists on consistent indentation. You are
free to choose the number of spaces of indentation to use, but you then need to stick with
it.

Syntax errors: These are the most basic type of error. They arise when the Python parser is
unable to understand a line of code. Syntax errors are almost always fatal, i.e. there is
almost never a way to successfully execute a piece of code containing syntax errors

Run-time error: A run-time error happens when Python understands what you are saying,
but runs into trouble when following your instructions.

Key Error : Python raises a KeyError whenever a dict() object is requested (using
the format a= adict[key]) and the key is not in the dictionary.
Value Error: In Python, a value is the information that is stored within a certain object. To
encounter a ValueError in Python means that is a problem with the content of the object
you tried to assign the value to.

Python has many built-in exceptions which forces your program to output an error when
something in it goes wrong. In Python, users can define such exceptions by creating a new
class. This exception class has to be derived, either directly or indirectly, from
Exception class.
Different types of exceptions:
• ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException.
• ClassNotFoundException.
• FileNotFoundException.
• IOException.
• InterruptedException.
• NoSuchFieldException.
• NoSuchMethodException

Modules:
Python module can be defined as a python program file which contains a python code
including python functions, class, or variables. In other words, we can say that our python
code file saved with the extension (.py) is treated as the module. We may have a runnable
code inside the python module. A module in Python provides us the flexibility to organize
the code in a logical way. To use the functionality of one module into another, we must
have to import the specific module.

Syntax:
import <module-name>
Every module has its own functions, those can be accessed with . (dot) Note:
In python we have help ()

Enter the name of any module, keyword, or topic to get help on writing Python programs
and using Python modules. To quit this help utility and return to the interpreter, just type
"quit".
Some of the modules like os, date, and calendar so on……

>>> import sys

>>> print (sys.version)
3.8.0 (tags/v3.8.0:fa919fd, Oct 14 2019, 19:21:23) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)]

>>> print(sys.version_info)
sys.version_info(major=3, minor=8, micro=0, release level='final', serial=0)

>>> print(calendar.isleap(2020))
True
>>> print(calendar.isleap(2017))
False

Control Structures
Flow of execution means the way in which the instructions are executed. It can be
1. Sequential execution
2. Selection/ Conditional statements
3. Iterations/loop
Sequential execution means executing the statements one by one starting from the first
instruction onwards.

Selection:
Selection or Conditional statements helps us to execute some statements based on whether
the condition is evaluated to True or False.
Use of if statement:
The if statement contains a logical expression using which data is compared and a decision
is made based on the result of the comparison.

Syntax:
if <expression>:
statement(s)

If the boolean expression evaluates to TRUE, then the block of statement(s) inside the if
statement is executed. If boolean expression evaluates to FALSE, then the first set of code
after the end of the if statement(s) is executed.

Flow chart representing the execution of ‘if’ statement:

Example: Python if Statement

a = 3 if a > 2:
print(a, "is greater")
print("done") a = -1 if
a < 0:
print(a, "a is smaller")
print(“Finish”)

Output:
3 is greater done
-1 a is smaller
Finish

a=10
if a>9:
print("A is Greater than 9") Output:
A is Greater than 9

Alternative if (If-else):
An else statement can be combined with an if statement. An else statement contains the
block of code (false block) that executes if the conditional expression in the if statement
resolves to 0 or a FALSE value.

The else statement is an optional statement and there could be at most only one else
Statement following if.

Syntax of if - else: if
test expression:
Body of if stmts
else:
Body of else

Flow Chart:

Example of if - else:
a=int(input('enter the number')) if
a>5:
print("a is greater") else: print("a is
smaller than the input given") Output:
enter the number 2 a is smaller
than the input given
----------------------------------------
a=10 b=20
if a>b:
print("A is Greater than B") else:
print("B is Greater than A")

Output:
B is Greater than A
Chained Conditional: (If-elif-else):
The elif statement allows us to check multiple expressions for TRUE and execute a block
of code as soon as one of the conditions evaluates to TRUE. Similar to the else, the elif
statement is optional. However, unlike else, for which there can be at most one statement,
there can be an arbitrary number of elif statements following an if.

Syntax of if – elif - else :

If <test expression>:
Body of if stmts elif <
test expression>:
Body of elif stmts else:
Body of else stmts

Flow Chart:

Example of if - elif – else:

a=int(input('enter the number'))
b=int(input('enter the number'))
c=int(input('enter the number')) if
a>b:
 print("a is greater") elif
b>c:
print("b is greater") else:
print("c is greater") Output:
enter the number 5
enter the number 2
enter the number 9
a is greater >>>
enter the number 2
enter the number 5
enter the number 9
c is greater
----------------------------- var = 100 if var ==
200: print("1 - Got a true expression
value") print(var) elif var == 150:
print("2 - Got a true expression value")
print(var) elif var == 100: print("3 -
Got a true expression value")
print(var) else:
print("4 - Got a false expression value")
print(var)
Output:
3 - Got a true expression value
100

Iteration/Repetition:
A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times as
long as the condition is true. Repeated execution of a set of statements with the help of
loops is called iteration.
Loops statements are used when we need to run same code again and again, each time with
a different value.

In Python Iteration (Loops) statements are of three types:

• While Loop
• For Loop
• Nested For Loops

While loop:
Loops are either infinite or conditional. Python while loop keeps iterating a block of code
defined inside it until the desired condition is met.
 • The while loop contains a Boolean expression and the code inside the loop is
repeatedly executed as long as the Boolean expression is true.
• The statements that are executed inside while can be a single line of code or a block
of multiple statements
Syntax:
while(expression):
Statement(s)

Flow Chart:

Example Programs:
i=1 while i<=6:
print("KV School")
i=i+1
Output:
KV School
KV School
KV School
KV School
KV School
KV School
____________________________________________
_ i=1 while i<=3:
print("KV School",end=" ")
j=1 while j<=1:
print("CS DEPT",end="")
j=j+1
i=i+1
print() Output:
KV School CS DEPT
KV School CS DEPT
KV School CS DEPT

For loop:
Python for loop is used for repeated execution of a group of statements for the desired
number of times. It iterates over the items of lists, tuples, strings, the dictionaries and other
iterable objects.

Syntax:
for <loopvariable> in <sequence>:
Statement(s)

A sequence or iterable object is used to execute the loop. The for loop executes for a definite
number of times. During each of the iteration, the loop variable holds a value from the
sequence.
Example 1:
L = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
for var in L:
print( var, end=’ ‘)

Output of the above code is:

12345
Example 2: for k
in range(10):
print(k, end =’ , ‘)

output: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Example 3: for k in
range(1, 10):
if k% 2 ==0:
print(k, end = ‘ , ‘)
Output: 2, 4, 6, 8

Example 4:
list =
['K','V','S','C','H'] i=
1 for item in list:
print ('School ',i,' is ',item)
i = i+1
Output:
School 1 is K
 School 2 is V
School 3 is S
School 4 is C
School 5 is H

Example 5:
#Iterating over a Tuple:
tuple = (2,3,5,7) print ('These are the first four
prime numbers ')
#Iterating over the tuple for
a in tuple:
print (a)

Output:
These are the first four prime numbers 2
3
5
7

Example 6:
# Iterating over a dictionary: #creating
a dictionary
college =
{"ces":"block1","it":"block2","ece":"block3"}
#Iterating over the dictionary to print keys print
('Keys are:')
for keys in college:
print (keys)
#Iterating over the dictionary to print values
print ('Values are:') for blocks in
college.values():
print(blocks)

Output:
Keys are:
ces
it
ece Values
are: block1
block2
block3
 Example 7:
#Iterating over a String:
#declare a string to iterate over
college = 'KVSCH' #Iterating
over the string for name in
college:
print (name)

Output:
K
V
S
C
H

Nested For loop:

When one Loop is defined within another, it is called Nested Loops.

Syntax:
for val in sequence1:
for val in sequence2:
statements

# Example 1 of Nested For Loops (Pattern

Programs) for i in range(1,6): for j in range(0,i):
print(i, end=" ") print('')
Output:
1
22
333
4444
55555

# Example 2 of Nested For Loops (Pattern

Programs) for i in range(1,6): for j in range(5,i-1,-
1):
print(i, end=" ")
print('')

Output:
11111 1

Break and continue:

In Python, break and continue statements can alter the flow execution of a normal loop.
Sometimes we wish to terminate the current iteration or even the whole loop without
checking test expression/completing it. The break and continue statements are used in these
cases.
‘break:’ statement
The break statement terminates the loop containing it and control of the program flows to
the statement specified immediately after the body of the loop. If ‘break’ statement is
written within a nested loop (loop inside another loop), break will terminate the innermost
loop.
‘continue’ Statement
The ‘continue’ statement is used to skip the current iteration / rest of the code inside a loop
for the current iteration only. Loop does not terminate but continues on with the next
iteration.
‘pass’ statement:
In Python programming, pass is a null statement. The difference between a comment and
pass statement in Python is that, while the interpreter ignores a comment entirely, pass is
not ignored. ‘pass’ is just a place holder for functionality to be added later.

Strings:
A string is a group/ a sequence of characters. Since Python has no provision for arrays, we
simply use strings. A sequence of any type of characters enclosed within quotes, is a string.
This is how we declare a string. We can use a pair of single or double quotes. Every string
object is of the type ‘str’.
>>> type("name")
<class 'str'>
>>> name=str()
>>>name
''
>>> a=str('kvsch')
>>> a
' kvsch'
>>> a=str(kvsch)
>>> a[2]
's'
>>> fruit = 'banana'
>>> letter = fruit[1]
The second statement selects character number 1 from fruit and assigns it to letter. The
expression in brackets is called an index. The index indicates which character in the
sequence we want.

String slices:
A segment or a part of a string is called a slice. Selecting a slice is similar to selecting a
character:
Subsets of strings can be taken using the slice operator ([ ] and [:]) with indexes starting at
0 in the beginning of the string and working their way from -1 at the end.
Slice out substrings, sub lists, sub Tuples using index.
Syntax:
[Start: stop: steps]
• Slicing will start from index and will go up to stop in step of steps.
• Default value of start is 0,
• Stop is last index of list
• And for step default is 1 For example, 1: str = 'Hello World!' print (str) # Prints
complete string print (str[0] )# Prints first character of the string print (str[2:5] ) # Prints
characters starting from 3rd to 5th print (str[2:]) # Prints string starting from 3rd
character print ( str * 2 )# Prints string two times print (str + "TEST") # Prints
concatenated string Output:
Hello World!
H
llo llo
World!
Hello World!Hello World!
Hello World!TEST

Example 2:
>>> x='computer'
>>> x[1:4]
'omp'
>>> x[1:6:2]
'opt' >>>
x[3:]
puter
>>>
x[:5]
'compu'
>>> x[-1]
'r'
>>> x[-3:]
'ter'
>>> x[:-2]
'comput'
>>> x[::-2]
'rtpo'
>>> x[::-1]
'retupmoc'

Note: strings are immutable, which means we can’t change an existing string. The
best we can do is create a new string that is a variation from the original:

String concatenation and repetition operators:

‘+’ is called concatenation operator. When both the operands are strings, it will combine
them.

‘*’ is called repetition operator and it causes repetition of the characters the specified
number of times.

String functions and methods:

There are many methods to operate on String.
S.no Method name Description
1. isalnum() Returns true if string has at least 1 character
and all characters are
alphanumeric and false otherwise.
2. isalpha() Returns true if string has at least 1 character
and all characters are alphabetic and false
otherwise.
3. isdigit() Returns true if string contains only digits and
false otherwise.
4. islower() Returns true if string has at least 1 cased character and all
cased characters are in lowercase and false otherwise.
 5. isnumeric() Returns true if a string contains
only numeric characters and false
otherwise.
6. isspace() Returns true if string contains only whitespace
characters and false otherwise.

7. istitle() Returns true if string is properly “titlecased” and

false otherwise.
8. isupper() Returns true if string has at least one cased character and
all cased characters are in uppercase and false otherwise.

9. replace(old,new [, max]) Replaces all occurrences of old in string

with new or at most max occurrences if
max given.
10. split() Splits string according to delimiter str
(space if not provided) and returns list
of substrings;
11. count() Occurrence of a string in another string
12. find() Finding the index of the first occurrence of a string in
another string
13. swapcase() Converts lowercase letters in a string to uppercase
and viceversa
14. startswith(str,beg=0 Determines if string or a substring of string (if starting
, end=le n(string)) index beg and ending index end are given) starts with
substring str; returns true if so and false otherwise.

List:
With the help of lists, we can store different types of items in a variable. It helps us to store
collection of data. List items are ordered, changeable and can be repeated. Indexes are used
to access the items.
Lists are mutable.

Python has a set of built-in methods that you can use on lists
Method Description

append() Adds an element at the end of the list

clear() Removes all the elements from the list

 copy() Returns a copy of the list

count() Returns the number of elements with the specified value

extend() Add the elements of a list (or any iterable), to the end of the current list

index() Returns the index of the first element with the specified value

insert() Adds an element at the specified position

pop() Removes the element at the specified position

remove() Removes the first item with the specified value

reverse() Reverses the order of the list

sort() Sorts the list

Whenever we need an array, we can use lists. We can construct / create list in many ways.
Example 1:
list1=[1,2,3,'A','B',7,8,[10,11]]
print(list1)

output:
[1, 2, 3, 'A', 'B', 7, 8, [10, 11]]

Example 2:
x=list()
print(x)
output:
x []

Example 3:
Name = “ abcdefg”
L = list(Name)
print(L)
Output:
[ ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘e’, ‘f’, ‘g’]

Basic List Operations:

Lists respond to the + and * operators much like strings; they mean concatenation and
repetition here too, except that the result is a new list, not a string.
 Python Expression Results Description

len([1, 2, 3]) 3 Length

[1, 2, 3] + [4, 5, 6] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Concatenation

['Hi!'] * 4 ['Hi!', 'Hi!', 'Hi!', 'Hi!'] Repetition

3 in [1, 2, 3] True Membership

for x in [1, 2, 3]: print x, 123 Iteration

Note: indexing and slicing are similar to that of strings.

For example:
L= ['kvsch', 'school', 'KVSCH!']

Python Expression Results Description

L[2] KVSCH Offsets start at zero

L[-2] school Negative: count from the right

L[1:] ['school', 'KVSCH!'] Slicing fetches sections

List slices: - Examples

>>> list1= [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
>>> list1[1:]
Output: [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
>>>list1[:1]
Output:[1]
>>> list1[2:5]
Output: [3, 4, 5]
>>> list1[:6]
Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
>>>list1 [1:2:4]
Output:[2] >>>
ist1[1:8:2]
output: [2, 4, 6, 8]

List Comprehension:
This is a way to create a new list using an existing list.
Syntax:
NewList = [ expression for variable in iterableobject if condition == True ]

Example1:
list1=[x**2 for x in
range(10)] print(list1) output:
[ 0,1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81]

Note: in the above given code, a new list named list1 is created using the expression x**2,
where the for loop is used to assign different values to ‘x’ using the range( ) function.

Example 2:
x=[z**2 for z in range(10) if z>4]
print(x)
Output: [25, 36, 49, 64, 81]

Example 3:
x=[x ** 2 for x in range (1, 11) if x % 2 == 1]
print(x)
Output: [1, 9, 25, 49, 81]

Tuples:
A tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable. In Python tuples are created by
enclosing items within round brackets.
• Supports all operations for sequences.
• Immutable, but member objects may be mutable.
• If the contents of a list shouldn’t change, use a tuple to prevent items from accidently
being added, changed, or deleted.
• Tuples are more efficient than list due to python’s implementation.
We can create tuple in different ways.
X=( ) # an empty tuple
X=(1,2,3) # a tuple with three elements
X=tuple(list1)
X=1,2,3,4

Accessing elements of a tuple:

We can use index to access the elements of a tuple. From left to right, index varies from 0
to n-1, where n is total number of elements in the tuple. From right to left, the index starts
with -1 and the index of the leftmost element will be –n, where n is the number of elements.

Syntax:
<Name of the tuple>[index] Example:
T = ( 1, 2,4,6)
print(T[0])
Output: 1 print(T[-
-1])
Output: 6

Modifying the elements of a tuple:

Once created, we cannot modify the elements of a tuple. Tuple is immutable. If we try to
modify the Element, it will generate ‘TypeError’

Some important functions which can be used with tuple:

count (): Returns the number of times a specified value occurs in a tuple Example:
>>> x=(1,2,3,4,5,6,2,10,2,11,12,2)
>>> x.count(2) output:
4

index (): Searches the tuple for a specified value and returns its position in the tuple.

>>> x=(1,2,3,4,5,6,2,10,2,11,12,2)
>>> x.index(2)
Output: 1
(Or)
>>> x=(1,2,3,4,5,6,2,10,2,11,12,2)
>>> y=x.index(2)
>>> print(y)
Output: 1

len(): To know the number of items or values present in a tuple, we use len().
>>> x=(1,2,3,4,5,6,2,10,2,11,12,2)
>>> y=len(x)
>>> print(y)
output: 12

Tuple comprehension:
Tuple Comprehensions are special: The result of a tuple comprehension is special. You
might expect it to produce a tuple, but what it does is produce a special "generator" object
that we can iterate over.
For example:
>>> x = (i for i in 'abc') #tuple comprehension
>>> x
<generator object <genexpr> at 0x033EEC30>

>>> print(x)
<generator object <genexpr> at 0x033EEC30>

You might expect this to print as ('a', 'b', 'c') but it prints as <generator object <genexpr> at
0x02AAD710>. The result of a tuple comprehension is not a tuple: it is actually a generator.
The only thing that you need to know now about a generator is that you can iterate over it,
but ONLY ONCE.

Example:
>>> x = (i for i in 'abc')
>>> for i in x:
print(i)

Output:
ab
c
Example:
Create a list of 2-tuples like (number, square):
>>> z=[(x, x**2) for x in range(6)]
>>> z
[(0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16), (5, 25)]

Set comprehension:
Similarly, to list comprehensions, set comprehensions are also supported by Python:

Example:
>>> a = {x for x in 'abracadabra' if x not in 'abc'}
>>> a
Output:
{'r', 'd'}

>>> x={3*x for x in range(10) if x>5}

>>> x

Output:
{24, 18, 27, 21}

Note: In case of set, elements are enclosed within { }.

Dictionaries:
A dictionary is a collection which is unordered, changeable and indexed. In Python
dictionaries are created with curly brackets, and they have keys and values. It is a mapping.
Values can be of any type. Only immutable types are allowed as keys. It is not possible to
repeat keys. They are to be unique.
• Key-value pairs
• Unordered

We can construct or create dictionary like:

X={1:’A’,2:’B’,3:’c’} X=dict([(‘a’,3) (‘b’,4)]
X=dict(‘A’=1,’B’ =2)

Example:
>>> dict1 = {"brand":"mrcet","model":"college","year":2004}
>>> dict1
{'brand': 'mrcet', 'model': 'college', 'year': 2004}

Functions available for handling dictionary:

Method Description

clear() Remove all items form the dictionary.

copy() Return a shallow copy of the dictionary.

Return a new dictionary with keys from seq and value equal to v
fromkeys(seq[, v]) (defaults to None).

Return the value of key. If key does not exit, return d (defaults to
get(key[,d]) None).

items() Return a new view of the dictionary's items (key, value).

keys() Return a new view of the dictionary's keys.

Remove the item with key and return its value or d if key is not
pop(key[,d])
found. If d is not provided and key is not found, raises KeyError.

Remove and return an arbitary item (key, value). Raises KeyError

popitem()
if the dictionary is empty.
 If key is in the dictionary, return its value. If not, insert
setdefault(key[,d])
key with a value of d and return d (defaults to None).

Update the dictionary with the key/value pairs from other,

update([other])
overwriting existing keys.

values() Return a new view of the dictionary's values

remove(): It removes or pop the specific item of dictionary

del( ) Deletes a particular item

len( ) we use len() method to get the length of dictionary

Note: keys are used to access or modify the items of a dictionary.

Comprehension:
Dictionary comprehensions can be used to create dictionaries from arbitrary key and value
expressions Syntax:
<dictionary> = { expression for <variable> in sequence }

Example:
>>> z={x: x**2 for x in (2,4,6)}
>>> z
{2: 4, 4: 16, 6: 36}
>>> dict11 = {x: x*x for x in range(6)}
>>> dict11
{0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 5: 25}

Important Points to remember:

• Data types: int, float, complex, Boolean, string, list, tuple, set, dictionary
• Variables are used to hold data. They are having memory address and values of
particular types are stored.
• It is not possible to modify immutable types/objects.
• Mutable objects/types can be modified.
• Dictionary uses keys to identify values. Key can be of any immutable type and is
not possible to change or duplicate.
• Values of a dictionary can be of any type.
 • Three different programming constructs supported by Python are Sequence,
Selection, and Iteration.
• For selection, Python uses if, if..else, and if,,,elif…elif,,,else constructs.
• Different types of loops are while loop and for loop.
• While loop will continue till the specified number of times or till the given test
expression is True.
• ‘for’ loop is used when we have to iterate over a sequence. How many times it is to
be repeated is Known.
• Strings are sequence of characters. If enclosed in single or double quotes, it must be
confined to a line.
• String enclosed within triple quotes can be of multiple lines and are also called as
docstrings.
• List comprehension is a way to create a new list using an existing sequence.
• Examples for immutable types: int, float, string, tuple
• Examples for mutable types: list

FUNCTIONS
A function is a block of code that performs a specific task.
A function usually performs a single task of a large program.
Functions help in the division of our program into smaller, modular portions known as
divide and conquer approach

FUNCTION DEFINITION
A function is a named sequence of statement(s) that performs a computation. It contains
line of code(s) that are executed sequentially from top to bottom by Python interpreter.
They are the most important building blocks for any software in Python.

Functions can be categorized as –

i. Built-in functions ii.

Functions defined in module iii.
User defined functions
a) Built-in functions

Built in functions are the function(s) that are built into Python and can be accessed by a
programmer.

These are always available and for using them, we don’t have to import any module
(file).
Name of the Description Example
function

abs (x) It returns distance between x and zero, where >>>abs(-45)

x is a numeric expression. 45
>>>abs(119)
119
max( x, y, z, .... It returns the largest of its arguments: >>>max(80, 100, 1000)
) where x, y and z are 1000
numeric variable/expression. >>>max(-80, -20, -10)
-10
min( x, y, z, .... It returns the smallest of its arguments; where >>> min(80, 100, 1000)
) x, y, and z are 80
numeric >>>min(-80, -20, -10)
Variable/expression. -80

rounded to 0 decimal digits. -100.0
>>> round (80.23456) 80

b) Functions defined in module

A module is a file containing Python definitions (i.e., functions) and statements.

Standard library of Python is extended as module(s) to a programmer. Definitions from

the module can be used within the code of a program. To use these modules in the
program, a programmer needs to import the module.

How to import a module

There are many ways to import a module in your program, they are:

⦿ Import

⦿ From
Import

It is simplest and most common way to use modules in our code. Its syntax is:

import modulename1 [, modulename2, ]

Example

>>> import math

To use/ access/invoke a function, you will specify the module name and name of the
function- separated by dot (.). This format is also known as dot notation.

Example
>>> value= math. sqrt (25) # dot notation

From Statement

It is used to get a specific function in the code instead of the complete module file. If we
know beforehand which function(s), we will be needing, then we may use from. For
modules having large no. of functions, it is recommended to use from instead of import.

Its syntax is:

>>> from modulename import functionname [, functionname…..]

>>>from modulename import * ( Import everything from the file)

Example

>>> from math import sqrt value

= sqrt (25)

Some functions from math module are:

c) User defined functions

a. The keyword def is used to define a function.
b. After the keyword comes an identifier i.e. name of the function, followed by
parenthesized list of parameters and the colon which ends up the line.
c. Next follows the block of statement(s) that are the part of function.

Creating User Defined Function

Syntax to define a user defined function:

def <function_name> ( [ parameters] ): # def is a keyword

statement1 # parameters are optional statement2 #
function name is an identifier
----------------------------------
return <value> # here return is a keyword
Example:

def area_of_circle( radius ):

print(“Area of circle = “,
3.1416*radius*radius) r=int(input(“Enter radius
of circle”)) area_of_circle(r) output:

Enter radius of circle 10

Area of circle = 314.16

Points about User Defined Functions:

• Every User Defined Function start with the Keyword def.

• The first line of the function is called Function Definition.
• Function name must follow norms of valid identifier.
• Every function header end with parenthesis and colon sign followed by function
name
• We can provide parameters inside parenthesis, which is optional.
 • The return statement is used to return a value from function. The return statement is
also optional. The function should return a value only at the place from where it gets
called.
• To use a function, it must be called or invoked in main program.

Type of user defined functions:

The user defined functions can be categorized in following 4 categories:
• Function which accepts arguments and return some value
• Function which accepts arguments but return no value
• Functions which do not accept any argument but return some value
• Functions which do not accept any argument and even not return any value

Parameters/Arguments passed to functions:

These are the values passed to user defined functions from the calling function. If you are
passing values of immutable types (i.e., numbers, strings, etc) to the Called function, then
the called function cannot alter their values.

• If you are passing values of mutable types (i.e., List, Dictionary, etc.) to the Called
function, then the called function can make changes to them.

They are categorized in following two types:

Formal Parameters or Formal Arguments: These are the values provided in Parenthesis
when we write a function Header.Actual Parameters or Actual Arguments: These are the
values passed to the function when it is called/invoked.

Example:
def area_of_circle( radius ): # here radius is the Formal Parameter or Formal Argument
print(“Area of circle = “,3.1416*radius*radius) r=int(input(“Enter radius of circle”))
ar=area_of_circle(r) # here r is the Actual Parameter or Actual Argument output:

OUTPUT
Enter radius of circle 10
Area of circle = 314.16

Types of Arguments:
In Python following four types of arguments allowed:
• Positional Arguments
• Default Arguments
• Keyword Arguments
• Variable length Arguments
(i) Default Parameters

The parameters which are assigned with a value in function header while defining the
function are known as default parameters. This value is optional for the parameter. If a user
explicitly passes the value in function call, then the value which is passed by the user will
be taken by the default parameter. If no value is provided, then the default value will be
taken by the parameter. Default parameters will be written in the end of the function header,
means positional parameter cannot appear to the right side of default parameter. Example:
def SICal(amount, rate, time=10): #Function definition header

(ii) Required Arguments /Positional Parameters

When the function call statement must match the number and positional order of arguments
as defined in the function definition, this is called the positional parameters.

Example:

def Test(x,y,z): #function definition header

Then we can call function using following statements p,q,r=3,4,6

Test(p,q,r) #3 variables are passed
Test(4,q,r) # 1 literal and 2 variables are passed Test(5,6,7)
# 3 literals are passed.
So x,y,z are positional parameters and the value must be provided to these parameters

(iii) Keyword arguments:

Keyword arguments are related to the function calls. When you use keyword arguments in
a function call, the caller identifies the arguments by the parameter name. This allows you
to place argument out of order because the Python interpreter is able to use the keywords
provided to match the values with parameters. Having a positional argument after keyword
arguments will result into error Example def show(x,y):
print(“Name is “,x)
print(“Age is “,y)
show(y=18,x=”Raj”)

OUTPUT
Name is Raj
Age is 18
(iv) Variable Number of Arguments:
In cases where you don’t know the exact number of arguments that you want to pass to a
function, you can use the following syntax with *args: The variable stored in *args are
represented in the form of tuple. Example def change(*a): for i in a: print(i) print(a)
change(10,5) change(15,20,25)
OUTPUT
10
5
(10, 5)
15
20
25
(15, 20, 25)

What is the difference between parameter and argument?

Ans. Parameters are temporary variable names within functions. The argument can be
thought of as the value that is assigned to that temporary variable. For instance, let’s
consider the following simple function to calculate sum of two numbers.
def sum(a,b):
return a+b
sum(10,20)
Here a, b are the parameters for the function ‘sum’.
Arguments are used in procedure calls, i.e., the values passed to the function at run-
time.10,20 are the arguments for the function sum

Function returning value(s)

A function can return multiple values. The return values should be a comma- separated list
of values. The multiple return values are returned as a tuple. We can unpack the received
value by specifying the same number of variables on the left side of the function call.

Example 1:
def add10(x,y,z):
return
x+10,y+10,z+10 x=10
y=20 z=30
result=add10(x,y,z)
print(result)

Output (20,
30, 40)
Example 2:

def add10(x,y,z):
return
x+10,y+10,z+10 x=10
y=20 z=30
a,b,c=add10(x,y,z) #unpack
Output:
20 30 40
SCOPE OF VARIABLES:
Scope of a variable is the portion of a program where the variable is recognized and can be
accessed therein.
There are two types of scope for variables:
Local Scope
Global Scope
1.Local Scope:
A variable declared in a function-body is said to have local scope. It cannot be accessed
outside the function. In this scope, the lifetime of variables inside a function is as long as
the function executes.
2. Global Scope:
A variable declared in top level segment ( main) of a program is said to have a global scope.
In this scope, lifetime of a variable inside a program is as long as the program executes.

Example 1: def
Sum(x , y) :
z=x+y
return z a = 5
b=7
s = Sum(a , b)
print(s)
In the above program x, y and z are local variables and are destroyed once we return from
the function. a, b and s are global variables and remains in the memory until the program
executes.
Example 2:
def my_func( ):
x=10 # local variable print(“Value inside function:”,x)
x=20 # global variable my_func( ) print(“Value outside
function:”,x) Output:
Value inside function:10
Value outside function:20

Here, we can see that the value of x is 20 initially. Even though the function my_func()
changed the value of x to 10, it did not affect the value outside the function. This is because
the variable x inside the function is different (local to the function) from the one outside.
Although they have same names, they are two different variables with different scope. On
the other hand, variables outside of the function are visible from inside. They have a global
scope.

 DATA FILE HANDLING

File- A file is a sequence of bytes on the disk/permanent storage where a group of related
data is stored. File handling in Python enables us to create, update, read, and delete the files
stored on the file system through our python program.

Data File handling takes place in the following order.

1- Opening a file.
2- Performing operations (read, write) or processing data.
3- Closing the file.

Types of File in Python:

Python allows us to create and manage three types of data files.
1- Text file
2- Binary file
3- CSV file

Text file: A text file is simply a sequence of ASCII or Unicode characters. A line is a
sequence of characters, stored on permanent storage. In a text file, each line is terminated
by a special character, known as End of Line (EOL). Text file can be created using any text
editor. Ex. Myfile.txt.

Binary file: A binary file stores the data in the same way as stored in the memory. The .exe
files, mp3 file, image files, word documents are some of the examples of binary files. We
can’t read a binary file using a text editor.

CSV file: CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a simple text file format for storing data in
tabular form such as spread sheet or database. The data is organized with one record on each
line and each field is separated by comma.

Compare text files, binary files and csv files

Absolute Path – It is a full path of the file from the root directory. Absolute paths ensure
that Python can find the exact file on your computer. Ex : -
C:\\Users\\Tanmay\\Desktop\\Delete\\file_handling.txt
f=open(“C:\\Users\\Tanmay\\Desktop\\Delete\\file_handling.txt”,r)

Relative Path – It is the path of the file from the current working directory.
Relative Path is the hierarchical path that locates a file or folder on a file system starting
from the current directory. The relative path is different from the absolute path, which
locates the file or folder starting from the root of the file system.
f=open(“file_handling.txt”,r)

Operation On Files

In Python

1. Opening a file – open() function

2.Read/Write file
– Read Functions – read() , readline(), readlines()
– Write Functions – write() , writelines()
3.Close the File – close() Function

4.Remove the file – remove() #Function of OS Module

5.Rename the file –rename(“oldname”,”newname”) #Function of OS Module

Read the Contents of An Existing

File
1. Open the file– file_object = open(“read_sample.txt”, ’r’) # Relative Path
file_object = open(“C:\\Desktop\\Notes\\sample.txt”) #Absolute Path

2. Reading the file–

rf = file_object.read()
print(rf)

2022-23 66
3. Closing the file–
file_object.close()

Working of open() function

We use open () function in Python to open a file in read or write mode. open ( ) will return
a file object. To return a file object we use open() function along with two arguments, that
accepts file name and the mode, whether to read or write. So, the syntax being:
open(filename, mode). There are three kinds of mode, that Python provides and how files
can be opened:
“ r “, for reading.
“ w “, for writing.
“ a “, for appending.

Modes Description
1. r - Opens a file for reading only. The file pointer is placed at the beginning of the file.
This is the default mode. Gives error if file does not exist.

2. r+ - Opens a file for both reading and writing. The file pointer placed at the
beginning of the file.

3. w - Opens a file for writing only. Overwrites the file if the file exists. If the file
does not exist, creates a new file for writing.

4. w+ - Opens a file for both writing and reading. Overwrites the existing file if
the file exists. If the file does not exist, creates a new file for reading and writing.

5. a - Opens a file for appending. The file pointer is at the end of the file if the file exists.
That is, the file is in the append mode. If the file does not exist, it creates a new file for
writing.

6. a+ - Opens a file for both appending and reading. The file pointer is at the end of
the file if the file exists. The file opens in the append mode. If the file does not exist, it
creates a new file for reading and writing.

Reading from a file

There are three ways to read data from a text file.

2022-23 67
read() : Returns the read bytes in form of a string. Reads n bytes, if no n specified, reads the
entire file.

File_object.read([n])

readline() : Reads a line of the file and returns in form of a string. For specified n, reads at
most n bytes. However, does not reads more than one line, even if n exceeds the length of
the line.

File_object.readline([n])

readlines() : Reads all the lines and return them list in which each line as a string element.

File_object.readlines()

Note: ‘\n’ is treated as a special character of two bytes.

Writing onto text files:

write() function

The write() function will write the content in the file without adding any extra characters.

file_name.write(content)

writelines() function98
This function writes the content of a list to a file. file_name.

writelines(list_of_lines)

# Program to show various ways to read data from a file.

# Creating a file
file1 = open("myfile.txt", "w")
L = ["This is Delhi \n", "This is Paris \n", "This is London \n"]

# Writing data to a file

file1.write("Hello \n")
file1.writelines(L) file1.close()

# to change file access modes file1 = open("myfile.txt", "r+")

print("Output of Read function is ")

print(file1.read())
print()

2022-23 68
# seek(n) takes the file handle to the nth #
byte from the beginning.
file1.seek(0)

print("Output of Readline function is ")

print(file1.readline())
print() file1.seek(0)

# To show difference between read and readline

print("Output of Read(9) function is ")
print(file1.read(9)) print() file1.seek(0)

print("Output of Readline(9) function is

") print(file1.readline(9)) print()
file1.seek(0)

Output:
Output of Read function is
Hello
This is Delhi
This is Paris
This is London
Output of Readline function is
Hello

Output of Read(9) function is

Hello
Th

Output of Readline(9) function

is
Hello

Output of Readlines function is

['Hello \n', 'This is Delhi \n', 'This is Paris \n', 'This is London \n'] Setting
Offsets in a File

If we want to access data in a random fashion, then Python gives us seek() and tell()
functions to do so

The tell() method

2022-23 69
 This function returns an integer that specifies the current position of the file object in the
file. The position so specified is the byte position from the beginning of the file till the
current position of the file object. The syntax of using tell() is:

A=file_object.tell()

The seek() method

This method is used to position the file object at a particular position in a file. The syntax
of seek() is:

file_object.seek(offset [, reference_point])

In the above syntax, offset is the number of bytes by which the file object is to be moved.
reference_point indicates the starting position of the file object. That is, with reference to
which position, the offset has to be counted. It can have any of the following values:

0 - beginning of the file

1 - current position of the file
2 - end of file

By default, the value of reference_point is 0, i.e. the offset is counted from the beginning of
the file.

For example, the statement fileObject.seek(5,0) will position the file object at 5th byte
position from the beginning of the file.

2 SHORT ANSWER TYPE

QUESTIONS 1. Explain seek() method
in python.
In Python, seek() function is used to change the position of the File Handle to a given
specific position.
Syntax: fi.seek(offset, from_where), where fi is the file pointer
Offset: This is used for defining the number of positions to move forward.
from_where: This is used for defining the point of reference. It can take 0:
beginning of the file. 1: current position of the file. 2: end of the file.

2022-23 75
2. Write a function in Python that counts the number of “the” or “this” words present
in a text file “myfile.txt”.
Example: If the “myfile.txt” contents are as follows:
This is my first class on Computer Science. File handling is the easiest topic for me
and Computer Networking is the most interesting one.
The output of the function should be: Count of the/this in file: 3

Answer:
def displayTheThis():
num=0
f=open("myfile.txt","r")
N=f.read() M=N.split()
for x in M: if x=="the"
or x== "this":
print(x)
num=num+1 f.close()
print("Count of the/this in file:",num)

3. Write a function countVowels() in Python, which should read each character of a text
file “myfile.txt”, count the number of vowels and display the count.
Example: If the “myfile.txt” contents are as follows:
This is my first class on Computer Science.
The output of the function should be: Count of vowels in file: 10 Answer:
def countVowels(): fobj =
open(“myfile.txt”) data = fobj.read()
count = 0 vowels=[‘a’,’e’,’I’,’o’,’u’]
for ch in data: if ch in vowels:
count +=1 print(“Count of vowels in
file:”, count)

4. Write a Python program to count all the line having 'a' as last character. Answer:

count =0 f=open('fracture.txt',"r") data=f.readlines() for line in

data: if line[-2] == 'a': count=count+1 print("Number of
lines having 'a' as last character is/are : " ,count) f.close()

5. Assume that a text file named TEXT1.TXT already contains some text written into
it, write a program with a function named vowelwords(),that reads the file TEXT1.TXT
and create a new file named TEXT2.TXT ,which shall contain only those words from
the file TEXT1.TXT which don’t start with an uppercase vowel(i.e. with
‘A’,’E’,’I’,’O’,’U’) , for example if the file TEXT1.TXT contains Carry Umbrella and
Overcoat When it Rains then the file TEXT2.TXT shall contain Carry and when it Rains.

2022-23 76
Answer:

def vowelwords ():

file1=open('TEXT1.txt','r')
file2=open('TEXT2.txt','w')
text = file1.read()
text=text.split()
vowels=['A','E','I','O','U']
for i in text: if i[0] not in
vowels:
file2.write(i)
file2.write(" ")
file1.close()
file2.close()
vowelwords()

BINARY FILES

2022-23 77
 File

● Binary file(used to store binary data such as images, video files, audio files etc.)
is a non-text file. It contains data as 1s and 0s(computer readable format).
● Binary files are processed byte by byte.

● There is no delimiter and EOL character in the binary file.

● There is no translations occur in binary files

● Binary files are faster in processing and consumes less memory compared to text
files.
● Extension of binary files are any non-text file exensions like .bin,.dat etc

● pickle module is offering functions(dump and load) to operating binary files.

● File opening mode must attach ‘b’ to it for operating binary file(Ex: ‘rb’- for
reading)
Operations on binary file
• Writing data into binary file

2022-23 78
• Searching of data
• Modifying data
• Deleting data
• Appending data

try and except block

pickle.load() can generate runtime exceptions like EOFError. try and except
block will handle runtime errors raised due to EOF (end of file) .In try block write all the
statements that can generate an exception and in except block write code to handle the
exception.

Writing data into binary file

Write a program to write contents to a binary file stud.dat with record format
[rollno,name,marks]

Searching of data from binary file

Write a program to read contents from the file stud.dat and display those
records whose marks >90. Assume stud.dat existing in the system with the record
format [rollno,name,marks]

Deleting data from a binary file

2022-23 79
 Write a program to read contents from the file stud.dat and delete those records whose
marks <90. Assume stud.dat existing in the system with the record format
[rollno,name,marks]
Below program is implemented using function and module os is used to use functions like
rename() and remove()

Updating /Modifying data in a binary file

Write a program to update records in the file stud.dat with records in the format
[rollno,name,marks].Increase 10 marks to the student whose rollnumber entered by the
user

Appending data in to a binary file

2022-23 80
 Write a program to append records into the file stud.dat with records in the format
[rollno,name,marks]

Opening a file using with statement

In Python, we can also open a file using with statement.

The syntax of with statement is:

with open (file_name, access_mode) as file_object:

The with statement is a compact statement which combines the opening of file , processing
of file along with inbuilt exception handling.The with statement will also close the file
automatically after with block is over.

with open(“myfile.txt”,”r+”) as myObject:

content = myObject.read()

Here, we don’t have to close the file explicitly using close() statement. Python will
automatically close the file.

CSV FILE
• A Comma Separated Values (CSV) file is a plain text file that contains the
commaseparated data.
• These files are often used for exchanging data between different applications.
• CSV files are usually created by programs that handle huge amounts of data. They are
used to export data from spreadsheets (ex:- excel file) and databases (Ex:- Oracle, MySQL).
It can be used to import data into a spreadsheet or a database.

Python CSV Module

• CSV Module is available in Python Standard Library.
• The CSV module contains classes that are used to read and write tabular form of
data into CSV format.
• To work with CSV Files, programmer have to import CSV Module. import csv

2022-23 90
Methods of CSV Module :

• writer( ) reader( )

Both the methods return an Object of writer or reader class. Writer Object again have two
methods – writerow( ) , writerows( ).

writer( ) Methods
This function returns a writer object which is used for converting the data given by the user
into delimited strings on the file object. writer( ) Object Methods –
• w_obj . writerow( <Sequence> ) : Write a Single Line
• w_obj . writerows ( <Nested Sequence> ) : Write Multiple Lines

Example:-

## writerow()
import csv
row=['Nikhil', 'CEO', '2',
'9.0'] f=open("myfile.csv",
'w') w_obj = csv.writer(f)
w_obj.writerow(row)
f.close()
## writerows()

import csv
rows = [['Nikhil','CEO','2','9.0'],
['Sanchit','CEO','2','9.1']]
f=open("myfile.csv",'w')
w_obj = csv.writer(f)
w_obj.writerows(rows)
f.close()

reader( ) Methods
This function returns a reader object which will be used to iterate over lines of a given CSV
file.

r_obj = csv.reader(csvfile_obj)

To access each row, we have to iterate over this Object.

2022-23 91
 for i in r_obj:
print(i)
import csv
f=open("myfile.csv",'r')
r_obj = csv.reader(f)
for data in r_obj:
print(data)
f.close()

 DATA STRUCTURE
INTRODUCTION
We know that computers store and process data with an extra ordinary speed and accuracy.
So, it is highly essential that the data is stored efficiently and can be accessed fast. Also, the
processing of data should happen in the smallest possible time but without losing the
accuracy.

Data structures deal with how the data is organized and held in the memory when a program
processes it.
• Data structures are fundamental concepts of computer science which helps in writing
efficient programs in any language.
• A data structure is a named group of data of different data types which is stored in a
specific way and can be processed as a single unit.
• A data structure has well-defined operations, behavior and properties.

Data type vs Data structure

• A data type defines a set of values along with well-defined operations stating its
input-output behavior.
• A data structure is a physical implementation that clearly defines a way of storing,
accessing, manipulating data stored in a data structure.

For example, List as a data type which can store heterogeneous data type of elements, but
when implemented as data structure its behavior is clearly prescribed (searching, sorting
etc.)
List

• Lists in Python are used to store collection of heterogeneous items.

• These are mutable, which means that you can change their content without changing
their identity.
• You can recognize lists by their square brackets [ and ] that hold elements separated
by a comma.
• Lists are built into Python: you do not need to invoke them separately.

Stack
A stack is a container of objects that are inserted and removed according to the Last-InFirst-
Out (LIFO) concept.

• Think of a scenario where at a dinner party where there is a

stack of plates, plates are always added or removed from the
top of the pile.
• In computer science, this concept is used for evaluating
expressions and syntax parsing, scheduling
algorithms/routines, etc.

Linear List
• A linear data structure is that those elements form a sequence.
• When elements of linear structure are homogeneous and are represented in
memory by means of sequential memory locations, these linear structures
are called arrays. Linear List size: Length=UB-LB+1

Stack
Stack is a linear/sequence structure in which insertion and deletion can take place only at
one end, i.e., stack’s top. Because of this, stack is called LIFO (Last in First out) data

structure. For example, a pile of books, a stack of coins where you can remove only the top
book or the coin placed at the top.
Implementation of stack using list
• The implementation of stack using list in Python is the easiest of all programming
language.
• Basic operations performed on stack are:
1. Creating a stack
2. Push/Adding elements to the stack
3. Checking for empty stack
4. Pop/Deleting elements from a stack
5. Traversal/Displaying a stack

List methods used and Important things to remember

1) list.append(element) – It is used to implement push operations(used to append or
add elements at the end of the list)
2) list.pop() –It is used to implement pop operations(removing elements at the end) 3)
list[::-1]-List slicing is used to print the elements in the reverse order from top position to
list[0]
4) top=len(list)-1 (length of list -1)
5) stack - LIFO(Last In First Out)
6) Push and Pop through one end(Top)

Applications of Stack

1. Reversing a word/line: This can be accomplished by pushing each character on to a

stack as it is read. When the line is finished, characters are popped off the stack and they
will come off in the reverse order.

2.The compilers use stacks to store the previous state of a program when a function is called
during recursion.

2. Backtracking is a form of recursion. But it involves choosing only one option out of
possibilities. Used in solving Puzzle Sudoku.

3. Undo mechanism in Text editors by keeping all the text changes in a stack.

Implementation of stack – menu oriented program

COMPUTER NETWORKS
INTRODUCTION
We are living in a connected world. Information is being produced, exchanged, and traced
across the globe in real time. It's possible as almost everyone and everything in the digital
world is interconnected through one way or the other.
A group of two or more similar things or people interconnected with each other is called
network. Some of the examples of network in our everyday life includes:
• Social network
• Mobile network
• Network of computers
• Airlines, railway, banks, hospitals networks What is Computer Network?
A Computer network is an interconnection among two or more computers or computing
devices. Such interconnection allows computers to share data and resources among each
other Resources such as files, applications, printers and software are common information
shared in a networking.

The advantage of networking is

• Resource Sharing
• Collaborative Interaction
• Cost Saving
• Increased storage
• Time Saving
(I)ARPANET (Advanced Research Project Agency Network)
• It came into existence in 1960s
• A project for interconnecting, US department of defense with academic and research
organization across different places for scientific collaboration.

(II)NSFNET (National Science Foundation Networks)

• It came into existence in 1986
• It was the first large-scale implementation of Internet technologies in a complex
environment of many independently operated networks (III) INTRANET
• It is a local or restricted communication system
• It is managed by a person or organization.
• Intranet users can avail services from internet but Internet user cannot access intranet
directly (III) INTERNET
• It came into existence in 1960s
• It is known as Network of Networks
• A global computer network providing variety of information and communication
facilities consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication
protocols.

DATA COMMUNICATION TERMINOLOGIES

DATA
Data means information in digital form which is stored processed and exchanged between
digital devices like computer, mobile phones or laptop.
Data can be text, image, audio, video or multimedia files.
Computers stores raw data and process these data into meaningful information. Hence, we
can define Information as processed data.

COMMUNICATION
The exchange of information between two or more networked or interconnected devices is
called communication. These devices must be capable of sending /receiving data over a
communication medium.

COMPONENTS OF DATA COMMUNICATION

The five main components of data communication are as follows:

SENDER: Sender is a device which is capable of sending data over a communication
network. In data communication Sender is also called Source.

RECEIVER: Receiver is a device which is capable of receiving data over a communication

network. In data communication Receiver is also called Destination.

MESSAGE: message is the information being exchanged between a sender and a receiver
over a communication network.

COMMUNICATION MEDIUM: Communication medium is the path or channel through

which the information is moved from the sender to the receiver. A communication medium
can be either wired/guided or wireless/unguided.

PROTOCOLS: The set of standard rules which are followed in data communication are
known as Data Communication Protocols. All the communicating devices like sender
receiver and other connected devices in the network should follow these protocols .

Why Protocols are needed? The communicating devices may be in different geographical
areas. The speed of these devices may be different. Also, the data transfer rates of different
networks may be different. These complexities make it necessary to have a common set of
rules to ensure the secure communication of data.
 Examples of some commonly used Protocols in data communication are given below:
• Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
• Internet Protocol (IP)
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP)
• Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

MEASURING CAPACITY OF COMMUNICATION MEDIA

Capacity of a communication channel means the maximum quantity of signals that a
communication channel can carry. The capacity of a communication medium is measured
by its bandwidth and data transfer rate.

BANDWIDTH
Bandwidth is the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies a transmission
media can carry.
The unit of bandwidth is Hertz.

DATA TRANSFER RATES

Data transfer rate is the number of bits transmitted through a channel per unit of time. Data
transfer rate is measured in bits per second (bps). It is also measured in Kilobits per second
(Kbps), Megabits per second (Mbps) or Gigabits per second (Gbps).

IP ADDRESS
IP address or Internet Protocol address is a unique numeric address assigned to every device
connected to a network. It uniquely identifies every node connected to a local network or
internet.
An IP address allows computers to send and receive data over the internet. They can also
be used to track down a user's physical location.There are two versions for IP address IPV4
and IPV6. IP addresses are binary numbers but are typically expressed in decimal form
(IPv4) or hexadecimal form (IPv6) to make reading and using them easily.

The commonly used IP address is IPV4. An IPv4 address consists of four numbers, each of
which contains one to three digits, with a single dot (.) separating each set of digits. Each
of the four numbers can range from 0 to 255.

Example IP address: 24.171.248.170

SWITCHING TECHNIQUES
In large networks, there may be more than one paths for transmitting data from sender to
receiver. The process of selecting a path of data out of the available paths is called
switching. There are two popular switching techniques – circuit switching and packet
switching.
1. Circuit Switching

In circuit switching, whenever a source end node wants to send a message to the destination
end node a physical link is first established between the source and the destination. Then
only the data transmission takes place. After the complete transmission of data this physical
link is terminated.
Simple example of a circuit switching is telephone network in which a person calls another
person. When the call receiving person receives the call, then only the connection is
established. Then the message is conveyed and finally the connection is terminated.

Advantages:
1. Since a dedicated communication channel is set up before communicating the message,
the data transmission is reliable and is suitable for long and continuous communication.
2 Circuit switching uses fixed bandwidth as well as data rates.
3. As the data is communicated continuously, no need of sequencing or re ordering it at the
receiving end.

Disadvantages:
1. Time required to setup a physical connection between the sender and the receiver
makes delay in communication
2. Since a communication channel is dedicated for a particular transmission, it cannot
be utilized for other communication, even if the channel is free.
3. More expensive since connection has to be established every time before
communication.
2. Packet Switching
In the packet switching technique, the whole message is split into small packets. Now, these
packets are transmitted one by one from sender to the receiver through the intermediary
switches in the network. The packets will take shortest path as possible. Every packet will
have a sequence number in order to identify their order at the receiving end. The packets
will also contain information like source address, intermediate node address, destination
address etc.
Advantages:
1. Packet switching is effective type of data transmission technique as it effectively
utilizes the communication channel. Multiple users can share the channel simultaneously
utilizing the bandwidth effectively.
2. It is cost effective and easy to implement compared to circuit switching.
3. As the messages are sent as small sized packets, the data transmission is quick and
easy. Disadvantages:
1. In packet switching the movement of packets may not be in correct order. Hence it
is not suitable for voice communication.
2. Unorganized movement of packets makes it necessary to implement proper
sequencing and reordering techniques.
3. As the packets flow through multiple paths from the source to the destination,
complex security protocols are required to ensure reliable communication.

TRANSMISSION MEDIA
● A transmission medium can be anything that can carry signals or data between the
source (transmitter) and destination (receiver). In data communication, transmission media
are the links that carry messages between two or more communicating devices.
● Transmission can be classified as guided or unguided.
● In guided transmission, there is a physical link made of wire/cable through which
data in terms of signals are propagated between the nodes. These are usually metallic cable,
fiber-optic cable, etc. They are also known as wired media.
● In unguided transmission, data travels in air in terms of electromagnetic waves using
an antenna. They are also known as wireless media.

Wired Transmission Media

● Any physical link that can carry data in the form of signals belongs to the category
of wired transmission media.
● Three commonly used guided/wired media for data transmission are, twisted pair,
coaxial cable, and fiber optic cable.
● Twisted-pair and coaxial cable carry the electric signals whereas the optical fiber
cable carries the light signals.

(A) Twisted Pair Cable

• A twisted-pair consists of two copper wires twisted like a DNA helical structure.
• Both the copper wires are insulated with plastic covers.
• Usually, a number of such pairs are combined together and covered with a protective
outer wrapping.
• The use of twisted configuration minimises the effect of electrical interference from
similar pairs close by.
These cables are of two types: Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) and Shielded twisted-pair
(STP).

Advantages:
• It is low-cost, low-weight and flexible cables.
• It is easy to install and maintain and requires RJ-45 Connector. Disadvantages:
• Suitable for short distance (up to 100 mt.). For long distance Repeater is required.
• It supports low bandwidth and offers up to 100 Mbps speed.
(B) Coaxial cable
• Coaxial cable has a copper wire at the core of the cable which is surrounded with
insulating material. The insulator is further surrounded with an outer conductor (usually a
copper mesh). This outer conductor is wrapped in a plastic cover.
• The shielded design allows the cable's copper core to transmit data quickly, without
interference of environmental factors.
• These types of cables are used to carry signals of higher frequencies to a longer
distance.
• It is better shielded and has more bandwidth than a twisted pair.

Advantages:
• It offers high bandwidth and carry data for a long distance (185-500 m)
• Suitable for Broadband transmission (cable TV) and can be used in shared cable
network.
Disadvantages:
• It is less flexible and expensive compared to Twisted Pair cable.
• Not compatible with modern cables like Twisted pair cable.

(C) Optical Fibre

• The optical fiber cable carries data as light, which travels inside a thin fiber of glass.
Optic fiber uses refraction to direct the light through the media.
• A thin transparent strand of glass at the center is covered with a layer of less dense
glass called cladding. This whole arrangement is covered with an outer jacket made of PVC
or Teflon.
• These cables are of light weight and have higher bandwidth which means higher
data transfer rate.

Advantages:
• It is free from Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), since no Electrical signal are
carried.
• Offers secure and high speed transmission up to a long distance.
Disadvantages:
• Expensive and quite fragile (breakable).
• They are unidirectional
• Complicated Installation procedure and difficult to join two broken fiber.
• Not suitable for domestic purposes due to high maintenance cost.
Wireless Transmission Media
• In wireless communication technology, information travels in the form of
electromagnetic signals through air.
• Electromagnetic spectrum of frequency ranging from 3 KHz to 900 THz is available
for wireless communication.
• Wireless technologies allow communication between two or more devices in short
to long distance without requiring any physical media.

There are many types of wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth, WiFi,
WiMax etc.

The electromagnetic spectrum range (3KHz to 900THz) can be divided into 4 categories (
Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared waves and Visible or Light waves) according to their
frequency ranges.

Classification of transmission waves and their properties

Transmission Properties
Waves
Radio Waves 1. Waves of frequency range 3 KHz - 1 GHz
2. Omni-directional, these waves can move in all directions
3. Radio waves of frequency 300KHz-30MHz can travel long distance
4. Susceptible to interference
5. Radio waves of frequency 3-300KHz can penetrate walls
6. These waves are used in AM and FM radio, television, cordless phones.
Microwaves 1. Electromagnetic waves of frequency range 1GHz - 300GHz.
2. Unidirectional, can move in only one direction.
3. Cannot penetrate solid objects such as walls, hills or mountains.
4. Needs line-of-sight propagation i.e. both communicating antenna must be
in the direction of each other.
5. Used in point-to-point communication or unicast communication such as
radar and satellite.
6. Provide very large information-carrying capacity.
Infrared waves 1.
Electromagnetic waves of frequency range 300GHz - 400THz.

Used for short-distance point-to-point communication such as mobile-
tomobile, mobile-to-printer, remote-control-to-TV, and Bluetooth-enabled
devices to other devices like mouse, keyboards etc.
Radiowave transmission

Microwave transmission Infrared transmission

Network Devices
To communicate data through different transmission media and to configure networks with
different functionality, we require different devices like Modem, Hub, Switch, Repeater,
Router, Gateway, etc.

Modem

• Modem stands for ‘MOdulator DEModulator’.

• It refers to a device used for conversion between analog signals and digital bits.
It is used to transmit data from a sender to a receiver, or while browsing the internet, digital
data are converted to an analog signal and the medium (be it free-space or a physical media)
carries the signal to the receiver.
• There are modems connected to both the source and destination nodes.
• The modem at the sender’s end acts as a modulator that converts the digital data into
analog signals.
• The modem at the receiver’s end acts as a demodulator that converts the analog
signals into digital data for the destination node to understand.

Ethernet Card

• Ethernet card, also known as Network Interface Card (NIC) is a network adapter
used to set up a wired network. It acts as an interface between computer and the network.
• It is a circuit board mounted on the motherboard of a computer
• The Ethernet cable connects the computer to the network through NIC.
• Ethernet cards can support data transfer between 10 Mbps and 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps).
Each NIC has a MAC address, which helps in uniquely identifying the computer on the
network.

RJ45

• RJ 45 or Registered Jack-45 is an eight-pin connector

• It is used exclusively with Ethernet cables for networking.
• It is a standard networking interface that can be seen at the end of all network cables.
• It is a small plastic plug that fits into RJ-45 jacks of the Ethernet cards present in
various computing devices.
Repeater

• A repeater is a device that amplifies a signal being transmitted on the network.

• Data are carried in the form of signals over the cable.
• These signals can travel a specified distance (usually about 100 m).
• Signals lose their strength beyond this limit and become weak.
• In such conditions, the weakened signal appearing on the cable is regenerated and
put back on the cable by a repeater.

Hub

An Ethernet hub is a network device used to connect different devices through wires.
Data arriving on any of the lines are sent out on all the others. The limitation of Hub is that
if data from two devices come at the same time, they will collide.
Switch

• Like a hub, a network switch is used to connect multiple computers or

communicating devices.
• When data arrives, the switch extracts the destination address from the data packet
and looks it up in a table to see where to send the packet.
• It sends signals to only selected devices instead of sending to all.
• It can forward multiple packets at the same time.
• A switch does not forward the signals which are noisy or corrupted. It drops such
signals and asks the sender to resend it.
• Ethernet switches are common in homes/offices to connect multiple devices thus
creating LANs or to access the Internet.

Router
• A router is a network device that can receive the data, analyses it, decide/alter how
it is packaged and transmit it to other networks.
• A router connects a local area network to the internet.
• For example, data has been divided into packets of a certain size. Suppose these
packets are to be carried over a different type of network which cannot handle bigger
packets. In such a case, the data is to be repackaged as smaller packets and then sent over
the network by a router.

• A router can be wired or wireless.

• A wireless router can provide Wi-Fi access to smartphones and other devices.
• Nowadays, home Wi-Fi routers perform the dual task of a router and a modem/
switch.

Gateway
• “Gateway” is a key access point that acts as a “gate” between an organisation's
network and the outside world of the Internet.
• Gateway serves as the entry and exit point of a network, as all data coming in or
going out of a network must first pass through the gateway in order to use routing
paths.
• If a node from one network wants to communicate with a node of a foreign network,
it will pass the data packet to the gateway, which then routes it to the destination
using the best possible route.
 • For simple Internet connectivity at homes, the gateway is usually the Internet
Service Provider that provides access to the entire Internet.
• Generally, a router is configured to work as a gateway device in computer networks.
• A gateway can be implemented completely in software, hardware, or a combination
of both.
• Since a network gateway is placed at the edge of a network, the firewall is usually
integrated with it.

WiFi card

• A Wi-Fi card connects to your laptop either in your USB port or a wider card slot.
• The Wi-Fi card acts as both a receiver and transmitter.
• It receives the wireless signal and communicates with the wireless network, enabling
you to access the Web with your laptop.
Computer Network Types

A computer network is a group of computers linked to each other that enables the computer
to communicate with another computer and share their resources, data, and applications.
A computer network can be categorized by their size, complexity and geographical spread.
A computer network is mainly of four types:
 • LAN (Local Area Network)
• PAN (Personal Area Network)
• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
• WAN (Wide Area Network)
PAN (Personal Area Network)
• Personal Area Network is a network of information technology devices (laptop,
mobile phones, media player and play stations) arranged within the range of an
individual person, typically within a range of 10 meters / covers an area of 30 feet.
Thomas Zimmerman was the first research scientist to bring the idea of the
Personal Area Network.

LAN (Local Area Network)

• Local Area Network is a group of computers connected to each other in a small area
such as a building, office through a communication medium such as twisted pair,
coaxial cable, etc to share resources. Shared resources can be data, information,
programs, printers, hard-disks, modem etc. The data is transferred at an extremely faster
rate, and provides higher security
• It is less costly as it is built with inexpensive hardware such as hubs, network adapters,
and Ethernet cables.
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
• A metropolitan area network is a network that covers a larger geographic area that
is spread over an area as big as a city by interconnecting different LAN to form a
larger network through a telephone exchange line.
• Government agencies use MAN to connect to the citizens and private industries.
• The most widely used protocols in MAN are RS-232, Frame Relay, ATM, ISDN,
OC3, ADSL, etc.

Uses of Metropolitan Area Network:

• MAN is used in communication between the banks in a city.

• It can be used in an Airline Reservation.
• It can be used in a college within a city.
• It can also be used for communication in the military.

WAN (Wide Area Network)

• A Wide Area Network is a network that extends over a large geographical area such
as states or countries through a telephone line, fiber optic cable or satellite links.
• The internet is one of the biggest WAN in the world.
• A Wide Area Network is widely used in the field of Business, government, and
education.

Advantages of Wide Area Network:

Following are the advantages of the Wide Area Network:

 • Geographical area: A Wide Area Network provides a large geographical area.
Suppose if the branch of our office is in a different city then we can connect with
them through WAN. The internet provides a leased line through which we can
connect with another branch.
• Centralized data: In case of WAN network, data is centralized. Therefore, we do not
need to buy the emails, files or back up servers.
• Get updated files: Software companies work on the live server. Therefore, the
programmers get the updated files within seconds.
• Exchange messages: In a WAN network, messages are transmitted fast. The web
application like Facebook, WhatsApp, Skype allows you to communicate with
friends.
• Sharing of software and resources: In WAN network, we can share the software and
other resources like a hard drive, RAM.
• Global business: We can do the business over the internet globally.
• High bandwidth: If we use the leased lines for our company then this gives the high
bandwidth. The high bandwidth increases the data transfer rate which in turn
increases the productivity of our company.

Disadvantages of Wide Area Network:

• Security issue: A WAN network has many security issues as compared to LAN and
MAN network as all the technologies are combined together that creates the security
problem.
• Needs Firewall & antivirus software: The data is transferred on the internet which can
be changed or hacked by the hackers, so the firewall needs to be used. Some people can
inject the virus in our system so antivirus is needed to protect from such a virus.
• High Setup cost: An installation cost of the WAN network is high as it involves the
purchasing of routers, switches.
• Troubleshooting problems: It covers a large area so fixing the problem is difficult.

NETWORK PROTOCOL:

A protocol means the rules that are applicable for a network. Protocols defines standardized
formats for data packets, techniques for detecting and correcting errors etc.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol

• It is a set of standardized rules that uses a client-server model of communication in

which a user or machine (a client) requests a service by a server in the network. The IP
protocol ensures that each computer or node connected to the Internet is assigned an IP
address, which is used to identify each node independently.
• TCP ensures that the message or data is broken into smaller chunks, called IP
packets. Each of these packets are routed (transmitted) through the Internet, along a path
from one router to the next, until it reaches the specified destination. TCP guarantees the
delivery of packets on the designated IP address. It is also responsible for ordering the
packets so that they are delivered in sequence. FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

• It is a standard internet protocol provided by TCP/IP used for transmitting the files
from one host to another. It is mainly used for transferring the web page files from their
creator to the computer that acts as a server for other computers on the internet. It is also
used for downloading the files to computer from other servers.
Objectives of FTP
• It provides the sharing of files.
• It is used to encourage the use of remote computers.
• It transfers the data more reliably and efficiently.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.)

• SMTP is a set of communication guidelines that allow software to transmit an

electronic mail over the internet is called Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
• It is a program used for sending messages to other computer users based on e-mail
addresses.It provides a mail exchange between users on the same or different computers,
and it also supports:
I. It can send a single message to one or more recipients.
II. Sending message can include text, voice, video or graphics.
III. It can also send the messages on networks outside the internet.
The main purpose of SMTP is used to set up communication rules between servers. They
also have a way of handling the errors such as incorrect email address. For example, if the
recipient address is wrong, then receiving server reply with an error message of some kind.
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is protocol that is used to connect one computer system to
another. Computers use PPP to communicate over the telephone network or the Internet. A
PPP connection exists when two systems physically connect through a telephone line. You
can use PPP to connect one system to another. For example, an established PPP connection
between a branch office and a central office allows either office to transfer data to the other
through the network.

POP3 Protocol
Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is a standard mail protocol used to receive emails
from a remote server to a local email client. POP3 allows you to download email messages
on your local computer and read them even when you are offline. How is mail transmitted?
 twen J, and
JVM
Telnet

• The main task of the internet is to provide services to users. For example, users want
to run different application programs at the remote site and transfers a result to the local
site. This requires a client-server program such as FTP, SMTP. But this would not allow us
to create a specific program for each demand.
• The better solution is to provide a general client-server program that lets the user
access any application program on a remote computer. Therefore, a program that allows a
user to log on to a remote computer. A popular client-server program Telnet is used to meet
such demands. Telnet is an abbreviation for Terminal Network.
• Telnet provides a connection to the remote computer in such a way that a local
terminal appears to be at the remote side.
There are two types of login:
Local Login- When a user logs into a local computer, then it is known as local login.
Remote logi- When the user wants to access an application program on a remote computer,
then the user must perform remote login.
VoIP :

VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. It is also referred to as IP telephony, internet
telephony, or internet calling. It's an alternative to a public switched telephone network
(PSTN).
Introduction to Web Services

Everyone is using internet irrespective of their background & interest. The types of
services available on internet are as diverse as the interest of the people. Web Services
means the services provided by World Wide Web. The World Wide Web provides services
like chatting, emailing, video conferencing, e-learning, e-shopping, e-reservation, egroups
and social networking. These services may mean different things to different people but in
simple words, they are the ways to communicate and here the communication takes place
between two electronic devices.

The World Wide Web commonly referred to as WWW, W3, or the Web is an interconnected
system of public webpages accessible through the Internet.
The Web is not the same as the Internet: the Web is one of many applications built on top
of the Internet.It’s invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. Since that time, the Web has
changed the world. It has perhaps become the most powerful communication medium the
world has ever known.
Major components of WWW are,
1. Web Server – It is a computer that stores website resources (web pages, images,
videos, etc.).
2. Web Browser (Client) - A software application used to access the web resources.
3. Webpage - Hypertext documents formatted in Hypertext Mark-up Language
(HTML) and displayed in a web browser.
4. Website - A website is a collection of inter-linked web pages that is identified by a
common domain name (website name) and stored on a web server.
5. HTTP Protocol - It governs data (web page) transfer between a server and a client.
6. HTML- A mark-up language used to specify the structure of a webpage.
7. URL- Address used to identify documents and other web resources on the internet.

Web Architecture
Web is working based on a client-server architecture.

Client: It is a computer capable of requesting, receiving & displaying information in the

form of web pages or using a particular service from the service providers (Servers). It’s
also called as web browsers.
Servers: It is a remote computer which provides/transfers information to the client (in the
form of web pages) or access to particular services.

So, it’s basically the Client requesting web pages and the Server serving it as long as the
requested content is available in the server. i.e. a request-response model.
Difference between Internet and WWW
 Internet World Wide Web(WWW)
Internet stands for Interconnected
WWW stands for World wide Web
Networks
Internet is a means of connecting a World Wide Web which is a collection of
computer to any other computer anywhere information which is accessed via the
in the world. Internet.

WWW is service on
Internet is infrastructure.
top of that infrastructure.

WWW is more software-oriented as

Internet is primarily hardware-based. compared to the Internet.
Internet uses TCP/IP protocol. WWW uses HTTP Protocol.

HTML (Hypertext Mark-up Language)

• It is not a programming language. It is a mark-up language that tells web browsers

how to structure the web pages you visit.
• HTML is language the helps in creating and designing web content.
• It has a variety of tags and attributes for defining the layout and structure of the web
document.
• It is designed to display the data in formatted manner.
• A HTML document has the extension .htm or .html.
• Hypertext is a text which is linked to another document.

XML (eXtensible Mark-up Language)

• XML is a mark-up language like HTML.

• It is designed to transport or store data.
• In contrast to HTML, it’s used to transport the data and not for displaying the data.
• Unlike HTML, it does not have predefined tags.
• It is possible to define new tags in XML.
• It allows the programmer to use customized tags.
• XML is case sensitive.
• A XML document has the extension .xml.

HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up XML stands for eXtensible Mark-up
Language Language
HTML is a case insensitive. XML is case sensitive.
Predefined tags (commands). User defined tags (commands).
It is used for presentation of the Data. It is used for transportation of the Data.
Small errors can be ignored. Errors not allowed.

Closing tags are optional. Compulsory to use closing tags.

HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

 HTTP is used to transfer data across the web. HTTP specifies how to transfer hypertext
(linked web documents) between two computers.
It allow users of the World Wide Web to exchange information found on web pages.
When accessing any web page entering http:// in front of the address tells the browser
to communicate over HTTP.
A Protocol is a set of rules for communication between two computers. HTTP is a
textual, stateless protocol.

Clients (web browsers) send requests through request object of http to web servers for
web pages, resources etc.
Web server respond accordingly through response object of http.
After this cycle (request – response), the connection between client and server across
the Internet is disconnected.
A new connection must be made for each request (means for each web page).
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an extension of the HTTP.
It is used for secure communication over a computer network.
In HTTPS, the communication protocol is encrypted using Transport Layer Security
(TLS).
HTTPS provides,
1) Encryption: Encrypting the exchanged data to keep it secure from eavesdroppers.
2) Data integrity: Data cannot be modified or corrupted during transfer.
3) Authentication: Proves that your users communicate with the intended website.

Domain Names

The Internet is a vast ocean where information is available in the form of millions of
websites.
Each website is stored on a server which is connected to the Internet, which means each
server has an IP address. Every device connected to the Internet has an IP address.
To access a website, we need to enter its IP address on our web browser.
But it is very difficult to remember the IP addresses of different websites as they are in
terms of numbers or strings.
However, it is easier to remember names, and therefore, each computer server hosting
a website or web resource is given a name against its IP address. These names are called
 the Domain names or hostnames corresponding to unique IP addresses assigned to each
server.
For easy understanding, it can be considered as the phonebook where instead of
remembering each person’s phone number, we assign names to their numbers. For
example, IP addresses and domain names of some websites are as follows:

Domain Name IP Address

DNS look-up table
ncert.nic.in 164.100.60.233
cbse.nic.in 164.100.107.32
kvsangathan.nic.in 164.100.166.91
wikipedia.org 198.35.26.96
The process of converting a hostname (such as www.google.com) into the
corresponding IP address (such as 172.217.14.196) is called domain name resolution.
Specialized DNS servers are used for domain name resolution (DNS resolution), so
whenever you type some web address (domain name) on the address bar of a web
browser, it will be translated into an equivalent IP address with the help of one or more
DNS servers including local DNS cache.

URL-Uniform Resource Locator

Every web page that is displayed on the Internet has a specific address associated with
it, this address is known as the URL.
Like postal address is required to reach a letter to a person staying anywhere on earth.
The URL consists of four basic parts, namely, server type, hostname, folder name
and the filename. Each one of these has a specific function.
1) The “server type” indicates the type of Internet server (Protocol) being accessed.
The server type is always followed by “://” and the host name.
2) The host name/domain name is the Internet address of a remote computer on which
the files reside.
3) The folder name indicates the name of the directory in which the files are located.
4) The filename specifies the name of the specific document to be displayed in the
browser. The filename itself consists of two pieces of information, the name of the
file to be displayed and the file extension, which specifies the file type (.htm for
HTML file, .txt for a text file, .bmp for a bitmap image, etc.)

The structure of a URL can be represented as follows:

Server type://hostname/directory/sub-directory/.../filename
Websites

A website is a collection of linked web pages (plus their associated resources) that share
a unique domain name.
Thus, a Web site is a collection of related Web pages.
Each web page of a given website provides explicit links, most of the time in the form
of clickable portion of text, that allow the user to move from one page of the website to
another.
Each Web site is owned and updated by an individual, company, or an organization.
Web is a dynamically moving and changing entity, today web sites generally change on
a daily or even hourly basis.
To access a website, type its domain name in your browser address bar, and the browser
will display the website's main web page, or homepage (casually referred as "the home")

Web page
Web page is an electronic document designed using HTML.
It displays information in textual or graphical form.
It may also contain downloadable data files, audio files or video files.
Traversal from one webpage to another web page is possible through hyperlinks.
Difference between Webpage and Website
A web page is one single page of information, while a website is made up of a number of
related web pages inter-connected by links known as hyperlinks.

Web Browser
• Web browser is software program to navigate the web pages on the internet.
• A bowser interprets the coding language of the web page and displays it in graphic
form.
• A web browser allows anyone to access the web without even knowing commands
used in software languages to design a web page.
• Internet works on client -server model.
• A web browser is a client which requests the information from the web server.
• The web server sends the information back to the client.
• The web address of the webpage written on the address bar tells the web browser
which page to access.
 • The most popular web browsers are: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet
Explorer, Safari, Opera, Netscape and UC Browser.
What is a cookie?

• A cookie is information stored on your computer by a website you visit.

• Cookies often store your settings for a website, such as your preferred language or
location.
• When you return to the site, browser sends back the cookies that belong to the site.
• This allows the site to present you with information customized to fit your needs.
• Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable
information (such as your name, home address, email address, or telephone number).
• However, this information can only be stored if you provide it - websites cannot gain
access to information you didn't provide to them, and they can't access other files on
your computer.

Web Server
• A web server is a computer or a group of computers hosting one or more websites.
• "Hosting" means that all the web pages and their supporting files are available on
that computer.
• The web server will send any web page from the website it is hosting to any user's
browser, per user request.
• More importantly, since a web server can host multiple websites, the term web
server is never used to designate a website, as it could cause great confusion.
• It works on client/server model.
• It delivers the requested web page to web browser.
• Web servers use special programs such as Apache or IIS to deliver web pages over
the http Protocol

Web Hosting
Web hosting is the process of uploading/saving the web content on a web server to make
it available on WWW.
In case an individual or a company wants to make its website available on the internet,
it should be hosted on a web server.
 A good way to think about this is if the domain name is the address of our house, then
web hosting is the actual house that address points to. All websites on the internet, need
web hosting.
Domain names and web hosting are two different services. However, they work together
to make websites possible. It is possible with the system known as DNS.

III.Short Answer Type (Theory with Answers)

1. Your friend wishes to install a wireless network in his office. Explain him the difference
between guided and unguided media.
Guided media uses cables to connect computers, whereas unguided media uses
waves

2. What are Protocols? Name the protocol used to transfer a file from one device to the
other.
Protocols are set of rules that are followed while transmitting data through a
computer network. Protocols determines how to data can be moved securely from a source
device to a destination device. The protocol used for transferring a file from one device to
another is the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

3. Define communication channel.

A communication channel is the medium through which data is moved from the
source to destination. The communication channel can be either wired or wireless. Wired
communication channel is also called guided medium while wireless communication
channel is also called unguided medium.

4. What do you mean by an IP Address? Give an example for IP Address.

An IP Address is a numerical address that uniquely identifies every device connected to
a network or internet. The user’s physical location can be tracked by using an IP Address.
IP V4 (IP Version 4) is a popular version of IP Address. IP Address (in IP V4) consists of
four set of numbers separated by a dot. These numbers can range from 0 to 255.
An example IP Address format is given below:
192.158.12.38
5. Differentiate between Circuit Switching and Packet Switching.
In Circuit Switching a physical connection between the sender and the receiver is
set up first. Then, through that physical link, the complete message is communicated
continuously. After completion of the transmission, the physical connection is terminated.
In Packet Switching, the message is split into small units called packets. Then
these packets are passed from source to destination simultaneously through different
routes in the network. As the flow of packets are asynchronous, sequence numbers are
assigned to each packet to facilitate re-ordering of packets at the destination.

6. Define the following: a. Bandwidth b. Data rate

Bandwidth: It is the range of frequencies that can be carried through a communication
channel. The bandwidth of a channel determines its capacity. It is the difference between
the highest and lowest frequencies that can be carried through the channel. The unit of
Bandwidth is Hertz (Hz).
Data transfer rate: It is the amount of data moved through a communication channel per
unit time. The units of Data transfer rate are Bits per second (Bps), Kilobits per second
(Kbps) , Megabits per second (Mbps) or Gigabits per second (Gbps).

7. Explain the components of data communication.

The components of data communication are: Sender, Receiver, Message, Communication
Medium and Protocols.
Sender: The device which sends data through a network is called sender or source.
Receiver: The device which receives data through a network is called receiver or
destination.
Message: The data that is communicated between the source and the destination is
called message.
 Communication channel: The medium through which the data is carried from the
source to destination is called a communication medium.
Protocols: The set of rules followed while communicating data over a network are called
Protocols.

8. What are the advantages of Packet switching over Circuit switching.

In Packet Switching the communication channel is utilized completely whenever it is free.
Where as in Circuit Switching, once the connection is assigned for a particular
communication, the entire channel cannot be used for other data transmissions even if the
channel is free.
Data packets moves simultaneously through different paths in a Packet Switched network,
making the transmission quick and easy. But in the case of Circuit Switched network, there
is a delay in setting up a physical connection between the source and destination before
communicating the actual message.
Packet Switching is cost effective compared to Circuit Switching as there is no need to set
up a connection between the communicating parties every time before the actual
communication.

9. Explain why Circuit Switching is not cost effective compared to Packet Switching?
The Circuit Switching is not cost effective like Packet Switching because, in Circuit
Switching, every time there is a need to set up a connection between the sender and the
receiver before communicating the message.

10. Explain how an IP Address become helpful in investigating cyber-crimes.

IP address can be used to trace the physical location of a user connected to a network. By
this many cyber crime can be investigated and traced out efficiently tracking the exact
location from where the cybercrime is carried out.

11. Why Protocols are needed in the case of Data Communication?

The communicating devices may be in different geographical areas. The speed of these
devices may be different. Also, the data transfer rates of different networks may be
different. These complexities make it necessary to have a common set of rules i.e.,
Protocols to ensure the secure communication of data

12. What is the difference between World Wide Web & Internet?
Internet means interconnected networks that spread all over the world (i.e. the
physical infrastructure), while WWW means the information’s (available in the form of
webpages) that can be accessed through internet.

13. What is a protocol, give some examples?

Protocols are set of rules that are followed while transmitting data through a
computer network. Protocols determines how to data can be moved securely from a source
device to a destination device. The protocol used for transferring a file from one device to
another is the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

14. What is the difference between E-mail and chat?

In order to chat, you need to have an account on the same service as the person you
are chatting with. e.g. on the other hand, in case of E-mail, it is not necessary, i.e. you can
have an account from any provider and you can establish your own.

15. What are cookies?

Cookies are files stored temporarily on www browser’s computer, which allow the www
server to store persistent information associated with browsing user on user’s system.

16. What is the difference between domain name and IP address?

IP addresses look like this: 192.168.12.134.
Domain names look like this: “www.google.com”
Domain names are easier for us to remember and use, while computers are quite handy with
numbers. Thus, we use DNS (Domain Naming System) to translate domain names into the
IP addresses.
IP address is a unique identifier for a computer or device on internet. A domain name
(website name) is a name that identifies one or more IP addresses (when hosted at different
servers for load balancing).

17. Give one suitable example of each URL and domain name?
URL: https://kvsangathan.nic.in/hq-gyan-kosh
Domain name: kvsangathan.nic.in

18. Differentiate between XML and HTML.

XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.
HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks.
HTML is about displaying information while XML is about describing information.

19. Distinguish between website and web browser.

Website:- It is a collection of inter-linked web pages stored in a server.
Web Browser:- It is a software application for retrieving, presenting and traversing
through information resources in the form of web pages available on the World Wide
Web.

20. Differentiate between the terms Domain Name and URL in context of web services.
Also write one example of each to illustrate the difference.
Domain Name URL
 A domain name or website name is URL is a string that represents the complete web
a human-friendly text form of the address of any web page. It’s used to locate a
IP address. webpage.

It is the part of the URL that is more It is the string that represents a complete web
human friendly. address that contains the domain name.
Example: kvsangathan.nic.in Example: https://kvsangathan.nic.in/contact-us

22.Differentiate between communication using Optical Fiber and Ethernet Cable in context
of wired medium of communication technologies.
Optical Fibre - Very Fast - Expensive - Immune to electromagnetic interference
Ethernet Cable - - Slower as compared to Optical Fiber - Less Expensive as
compared to Optical Fiber - prone to electromagnetic interference

Test Yourself: PART I

1. Advantage: Since there is a single common data path connecting all the nodes, the
bus topology uses a very short cable length which considerably reduces the installation cost.
Disadvantage: Fault detection and isolation is difficult. This is because control of the
network is not centralized in any particular node. If a node is faulty on the bus, detection of
fault may have to be performed at many points on the network. The faulty node has then to
be rectified at that connection point.

DBMS-DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

DBMS:
A database management system (DBMS) is a collection of interrelated data and a set of
programs to access those data. The collection of data, usually referred to as the database,
contains information relevant to an enterprise. The DBMS provides a way to store and
retrieve database information that is both convenient and efficient.
Keeping organizational information in a file- processing system has a number of major
disadvantages like:
a) Data redundancy and inconsistency
b) Difficulty in accessing data
c) Data isolation
d) Integrity problems
e) Atomicity problems
f) Concurrent access anomalies
g) Security problems
These difficulties among others, prompted the development of database systems.
● Database systems are designed to manage large bodies of information.
● Management of data involves both defining structures for storage of information and
providing mechanisms for the manipulation of information.
● The database system also must ensure the safety of the information stored, despite
system crashes or attempts at unauthorized access. If data are to be shared among
several users, the system must avoid possible anomalous results.
● DBMS lets users to create a database, store, manage, update/modify and retrieve
data from that database by users or application programs.
Some examples of open source and commercial DBMS include MySQL, Oracle,
PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Microsoft Access, MongoDB.
Database systems are widely used. Some representative applications are :
a) Banking
b) Airlines
c) Universities
d) Telecommunications
e) Sales
f) Finance, etc.
A data model describes the structure of the database, including how data are defined and
represented, relationships among data, and the constraints.
Database schema: Database Schema is the design of a database. It is the skeleton of the
database that represents the structure (table names and their fields/columns), the type of
data each column can hold, constraints on the data to be stored (if any), and the relationships
among the tables.
Database schema is also called the visual or logical architecture as it tells us how the data
are organized in a database.
Data constraint: Restrictions or limitations are put on the type of data that can be inserted
in one or more columns of a table to ensure accuracy and reliability of data in the database.
Meta – Data or Dictionary: A database catalog or dictionary that has data about data.
Database instance: The state of database at any time, after loading of data. A database
schema can have different instances at different times.
Query: A query is a request to a database for obtaining information in a desired way.
Data Manipulation: Modification of database consists of three operations viz. Insertion,
Deletion or Update.
Database engine: Database engine is the underlying component or set of programs used by
a DBMS to create database and handle various queries for data retrieval and manipulation.

Relational model:
The relational model uses a collection of tables to represent both data and the relationships
among those data.
Each table has multiple columns, and each column has a unique name. The relational model
is an example of a record – based model.
Record- based models are so named because the database is structured in fixed- format
records of several types. Each table contains records of particular type. Each record type
defines a fixed number of fields/attributes.
The columns of the table correspond to the attributes of the record type.
A row in a table represents a relationship among a set of values. The relational data model
is the most widely used data model.
Other types of data models include object-oriented data model, entity-relationship data
model, document model and hierarchical data model.

Relation: A Relation is logically related data organized in the form of tables.

Attribute/ Field: Column of a table is called Attribute or Field.

Tuple/ Entity/ Record: Rows of a table is called Tuple or Record.

Domain: It is collection of values from which the value is derived for a column.

Degree - Number of columns (attributes) in a table.

Cardinality - Number of rows (Records) in a table.

Primary Key – A primary is a column or set of columns in a table that uniquely identifies
tuples (rows) in that table.

Candidate Key –It is an attribute or a set of attributes or keys participating for Primary
Key, to uniquely identify each record in that table.

Alternate Key – Out of all candidate keys, only one gets selected as primary key,
remaining keys are known as alternate or secondary keys.

Foreign Key – Foreign keys are the columns of a table that points to the primary key of
another table.

STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE(SQL)

Structured Query Language: introduction, Data Definition Language and Data
Manipulation Language, data type (char(n), varchar(n), int, float, date), constraints
(not null, unique, primary key), create database, use database, show databases, drop
database, show tables, create table, describe table.

1.1 What is SQL?

SQL(Structured Query Language) is a language that is used to manage data that is
held in a relational database management system. It uses tables to manipulate and retrieve
information from databases for analysis.

By using SQL commands, one can search for any data in the database and perform
other functions like creating tables, adding records, modifying data, removing rows,
dropping tables etc.
1.2 What Can SQL do?
SQL can execute queries against a database
SQL can retrieve data from a database
SQL can insert records in a database
SQL can update records in a database
SQL can delete records from a database
SQL can create new databases
SQL can create new tables in a database
SQL can create stored procedures in a database
SQL can create views in a database
SQL can set permissions on tables, procedures, and views
1.3 ADVANTAGES OF SQL
There are the following advantages of SQL:
● High speed
Using the SQL queries, the user can quickly and efficiently retrieve a large amount of
records from a database.
● No coding needed
In the standard SQL, it is very easy to manage the database system. It doesn't require a
substantial amount of code to manage the database system.
● Well defined standards
Long established are used by the SQL databases that are being used by ISO and ANSI.
● Portability
SQL can be used in laptop, PCs, server and even some mobile phones.
● Interactive language
SQL is a domain language used to communicate with the database. It is also used to receive
answers to the complex questions in seconds.
● Multiple data view
Using the SQL language, the users can make different views of the database structure

1.4 SQL Commands

SQL commands are instructions. It is used to communicate with the database. It is also used
to perform specific tasks, functions, and queries of data.
SQL can perform various tasks like create a table, add data to tables, drop the table, modify
the table, set permission for users.
1.5 Types of SQL Commands
There are five types of SQL commands: DDL, DML, DCL, TCL, and DQL.

1.5.1 DDL or Data Definition Language

DDL or Data Definition Language actually consists of the SQL commands that can be used
to define the database schema. It simply deals with descriptions of the database schema and
is used to create and modify the structure of database objects in the database. DDL is a set
of SQL commands used to create, modify, and delete database structures but not data.

List of DDL commands:

CREATE: This command is used to create the database or its objects (like table,
index, function, views, store procedure, and triggers).
DROP: This command is used to delete objects from the database.
ALTER: This is used to alter the structure of the database.
TRUNCATE: This is used to remove all records from a table, including all spaces
allocated for the records are removed.
COMMENT: This is used to add comments to the data dictionary.
RENAME: This is used to rename an object existing in the database.

1.5.2 DML (Data Manipulation Language):

The SQL commands that deals with the manipulation of data present in the database
belong to DML or Data Manipulation Language and this includes most of the SQL
statements. It is the component of the SQL statement that controls access to data and to
the database. Basically, DCL statements are grouped with DML statements.
List of DML commands:
 INSERT : It is used to insert data into a table.
UPDATE: It is used to update existing data within a table.
DELETE : It is used to delete records from a database table.
Difference between DDL and DML:
DDL DML

It stands for Data Definition It stands for Data

Language. Manipulation Language.

It is used to create database

schema and can be used to
define some constraints as
It is used to add, retrieve or
well.
update the data.

It basically defines the It add or update the row of

column (Attributes) of the the table. These rows are
table. called as tuple.

1.6 DATATYPES

⮚ Text Data types

Char(size) – fixed length of size bytes

Varchar(size)-variable length of size bytes
Varchar2(size)-variable length of size bytes

⮚ Number Data types

Integer(size)or Int- It represents a number without decimal point

Float(Size)-It represents a floating point number
Real-Same as float but no size argument is used

➢ Date data type

Date , Time
1.7 CONSTRAINT
A Constraint is a condition or check applicable on a field or set of fields.
Types of Constraints:
 ⮚ Unique Constraint :-This ensures that no rows have the same value in the
specified column(s) Syntax:
Create table EMP (ecode integer unique, ename char(20),sex char(1),grade char(2));
Unique constraint applied on ecode of EMP table ensures that no rows have the same ecode
value

⮚ Primary key Constraint:- This declares a column as the primary key of the table
This is similar to unique constraint except that one column (or one group of
columns)can be applied in this constraint .
The primary key cannot allow NULL values but Unique key allows NULL values.
The following SQL creates a PRIMARY KEY on the "ID" column when the "Persons" table
is created:
CREATE TABLE Persons ( ID int NOT NULL, LastName varchar(255) NOT
NULL, FirstName varchar(255), Age int, PRIMARY KEY (ID));

⮚ Not null:-This constraint ensures column should not be NULL

Syntax:
Create table EMP(ecode integer Not null unique, ename char(20),sex char(1),grade
char(2));

1.8 DATABASE COMMANDS IN MYSQL

⮚ CREATE DATABASE

CREATE DATABASE is the SQL command used for creating a database in MySQL.
Imagine you need to create a database with name “movies”. You can create a database in
MySQL by executing following SQL command

Syntax: mysql>CREATE DATABASE movies;

⮚ SHOW DATABASES

You can see list of existing databases by running following SQL command.
Syntax: mysql>SHOW DATABASES;

⮚ USE

You can use SQL command USE to select a particular database.

Syntax: mysql>USE database_name;
 ⮚ DROP DATABASE

The DROP DATABASE statement is used to drop an existing SQL database.

Syntax :mysql>DROP DATABASE database_name;

CREATE TABLE
The CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a new table in a database.
Syntax: CREATE TABLE table_name ( column1 datatype, column2
datatype, column3 datatype, ....);
Example: The following example creates a table called "Persons" that contains five
columns:
PersonID, LastName, FirstName, Address, and City:
CREATE TABLE Persons (
PersonID int,
LastName varchar(255),
FirstName varchar(255),
Address varchar(255),
City varchar(255)
);

⮚ SHOW TABLES;

We can get the number of table information of a database using the following statement:
mysql> SHOW TABLES;

⮚ DESCRIBE TABLE

Use the DESCRIBE command to show the structure of the table, such as column names,
constraints on column names, etc. The DESC command is a short form of the DESCRIBE
command. Both DESCRIBE and DESC commands are equivalent.
Syntax The following are the syntax to display the table structure:
mysql> DESCRIBE | DESC table_name;

ALTER TABLE Statement

The ALTER TABLE statement is used to add, delete, or modify columns in an existing
table.The ALTER TABLE statement is also used to add and drop various constraints on
an existing table.
ALTER TABLE - ADD Column/Attribute To add a column in a table, use the following
syntax:

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD column_name datatype;

Example ALTER TABLE Customers ADD Email varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE - DROP COLUMN

To delete a column in a table, use the following syntax

ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name;

Example ALTER TABLE Customers DROP COLUMN Email;

SQL PRIMARY KEY on ALTER TABLE

To create a PRIMARY KEY constraint on the "ID" column when the table is already
created, use the following SQL:
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD PRIMARY KEY (Column_name);

Example ALTER TABLE Persons ADD PRIMARY KEY (ID);

DROP a PRIMARY KEY Constraint

To drop a PRIMARY KEY constraint, use the following SQL:

ALTER TABLE table_name DROP PRIMARY KEY;

Example : ALTER TABLE Persons DROP PRIMARY KEY;

The SQL DROP TABLE Statement

The DROP TABLE statement is used to drop an existing table in a database.

Syntax DROP TABLE table_name;

DROP TABLE Shippers;

INSERT INTO Statement:

The INSERT INTO statement is used to insert new records in a table.

INSERT INTO Syntax:

It is possible to write the INSERT INTO statement in two ways:

1. Specify both the column names and the values to be inserted:

INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3, ...) VALUES (value1, value2,
value3, ...);

2. If you are adding values for all the columns of the table, you do not need to specify
the column names in the SQL query. However, make sure the order of the values is in the
same order as the columns in the table. Here, the INSERT INTO syntax would be as
follows:

INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (value1, value2, value3, ...);

The SQL DELETE Statement:

The DELETE statement is used to delete existing records in a table.

DELETE Syntax:
DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;

Note: Be careful when deleting records in a table! Notice the WHERE clause in the
DELETE statement. The WHERE clause specifies which record(s) should be deleted. If
you omit the WHERE clause, all records in the table will be deleted!

The following SQL statement deletes all rows in the "Customers" table, without deleting
the table:

DELETE FROM Customers;

The SQL SELECT Statement

The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database.

The data returned is stored in a result table, called the result-set.

SELECT Syntax: SELECT column1, column2, ... FROM table_name;

Here, column1, column2, ... are the field names of the table you want to select data from. If
you want to select all the fields available in the table, use the following syntax:

SELECT * FROM table_name;

The SQL WHERE Clause:

The WHERE clause is used to filter records.
It is used to extract only those records that fulfill a specified condition.

WHERE Syntax: SELECT column1, column2, ...FROM table_name WHERE condition;

Operators in The WHERE Clause

The following operators can be used in the WHERE clause:

Operator Description

= Equal

> Greater than

< Less than

>= Greater than or equal

<= Less than or equal

<> Not equal. Note: In some versions of SQL

this operator may be written as !=

BETWEEN Between a certain range

LIKE Search for a pattern

IN To specify multiple possible values for a
column
The SQL AND, OR and NOT Operators

The WHERE clause can be combined with AND, OR, and NOT operators.

The AND and OR operators are used to filter records based on more than one condition:

● The AND operator displays a record if all the conditions separated by AND are TRUE. ●
The OR operator displays a record if any of the conditions separated by OR is TRUE.

The NOT operator displays a record if the condition(s) is NOT TRUE.

AND Syntax

SELECT column1, column2, ...

 FROM table_name

WHERE condition1 AND condition2 AND condition3 ...;

OR Syntax

SELECT column1, column2, ...

FROM table_name

WHERE condition1 OR condition2 OR condition3 ...;

NOT Syntax

SELECT column1, column2, ...

FROM table_name

WHERE NOT condition;

The SQL IN Operator

The IN operator allows you to specify multiple values in a WHERE clause.

The IN operator is a shorthand for multiple OR conditions.

IN Syntax

SELECT column_name(s)

FROM table_name

WHERE column_name IN (value1, value2, ...);

or:

SELECT column_name(s)

FROM table_name

WHERE column_name IN (SELECT STATEMENT);

The SQL BETWEEN Operator

The BETWEEN operator selects values within a given range. The values can be numbers,
text, or dates.
The BETWEEN operator is inclusive: begin and end values are included.

BETWEEN Syntax

SELECT column_name(s)

FROM table_name

WHERE column_name BETWEEN value1 AND value2;

The SQL ORDER BY Keyword

The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the result-set in ascending or descending order.

The ORDER BY keyword sorts the records in ascending order by default. To sort the
records in descending order, use the DESC keyword.
ORDER BY Syntax

SELECT column1, column2, ...

FROM table_name

ORDER BY column1, column2, ... ASC|DESC;

Example

SELECT * FROM Customers

ORDER BY Country;

ORDER BY DESC Example

The following SQL statement selects all customers from the "Customers" table, sorted
DESCENDING by the "Country" column:

SELECT * FROM Customers

ORDER BY Country DESC;

ORDER BY Several Columns Example

The following SQL statement selects all customers from the "Customers" table, sorted by
the "Country" and the "CustomerName" column. This means that it orders by Country,
but if some rows have the same Country, it orders them by CustomerName:
Eg: SELECT * FROM Customers ORDER BY Country, CustomerName;

SQL Aliases

SQL aliases are used to give a table, or a column in a table, a temporary name.

Aliases are often used to make column names more readable.

An alias only exists for the duration of that query.

An alias is created with the AS keyword.

Alias Column Syntax: SELECT column_name AS alias_name FROM table_name;

Alias Table

Syntax: SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name AS alias_name;

The SQL UPDATE Statement

The UPDATE statement is used to modify the existing records in a table.

UPDATE Syntax: UPDATE table_name SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2,

...

WHERE condition;

UPDATE Table

The following SQL statement updates the first customer (CustomerID = 1) with a new
contact person and a new city.

UPDATE Customers

SET ContactName = 'Alfred Schmidt', City= 'Frankfurt'

WHERE CustomerID = 1;

The SQL SELECT DISTINCT Statement

The SELECT DISTINCT statement is used to return only distinct (different) values.

Inside a table, a column often contains many duplicate values; and sometimes you only
want to list the different (distinct) values.

SELECT DISTINCT Syntax:

SELECT DISTINCT column1, column2, ...FROM table_name;

SELECT Example Without DISTINCT

The following SQL statement selects all (including the duplicates) values from the
"Country" column in the "Customers" table:

Eg: SELECT Country FROM Customers;

Now, let us use the SELECT DISTINCT statement

and see the result.

SELECT DISTINCT Examples

The following SQL statement selects only the DISTINCT values from the "Country"
column in the "Customers" table:
SELECT DISTINCT Country FROM Customers;

The following SQL statement lists the number of different (distinct) customer countries:

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Country) FROM Customers;

The SQL LIKE Operator

The LIKE operator is used in a WHERE clause to search for a specified pattern in a column.

There are two wildcards often used in conjunction with the LIKE operator:

● The percent sign (%) represents zero, one, or multiple characters

● The underscore sign (_) represents one, single character

The percent sign and the underscore can also be used in combinations!

LIKE Syntax

SELECT column1, column2, ...

FROM table_name

WHERE columnN LIKE pattern;

LIKE Operator Description

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%' Finds any values that start with "a"
 WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%a' Finds any values that end with "a"

WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%or%' Finds any values that have "or" in any position

WHERE CustomerName LIKE '_r%' Finds any values that have "r" in the second
position

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a_%' Finds any values that start with "a" and are at least
2 characters in length

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a__%'

Finds any values that start with "a" and are at least
3 characters in length

WHERE ContactName LIKE 'a%o' Finds any values that start with "a" and ends with
"o"

What is a NULL Value?

A field with a NULL value is a field with no value.

If a field in a table is optional, it is possible to insert a new record or update a record without
adding a value to this field. Then, the field will be saved with a NULL value.

How to Test for NULL Values?

It is not possible to test for NULL values with comparison operators, such as =, <, or <>.

We will have to use the IS NULL and IS NOT NULL operators instead.

IS NULL Syntax

SELECT column_names

FROM table_name

WHERE column_name IS NULL;

IS NOT NULL Syntax

SELECT column_names

FROM table_name
 WHERE column_name IS NOT NULL;

The IS NULL Operator

The IS NULL operator is used to test for empty values (NULL values).

The following SQL lists all customers with a NULL value in the "Address" field:

SELECT CustomerName, ContactName, Address

FROM Customers

WHERE Address IS NULL;

The IS NOT NULL Operator

The IS NOT NULL operator is used to test for non-empty values (NOT NULL values).

The following SQL lists all customers with a value in the "Address" field:
SELECT CustomerName, ContactName, Address

FROM Customers

WHERE Address IS NOT NULL;

Aggregate (Group) function

● Aggregate functions are the functions that operate on a set of rows to give
one result per group.
● These sets of rows on which group function is applied may be the whole table
or the table split into groups.
Types of Group Functions
Function Description

sum() Find the sum of numeric values

avg() Find the average of numeric values

count() Counts the number of rows in a table

max() Find the maximum among all the values in a column

min() Find the minimum among all the values in a column

Remember the following points about group functions:
 ● All group functions,except count(*) ignore NULL values ● Functions -
sum(),avg() are used with NUMERIC data.
● Functions -min() and max() can be used with any data type Example:
Consider the following table employee

Q: Find the sum, average, minimum, maximum value of salaries of employees in the
employee table

Count() function
Count () has got three formats:
Count(*)
This function returns the number of rows in the table that satisfy the criteria of select
statement.
In its counting, it includes duplicate rows and rows with NULL values in any of the column
Example:
Q: Count the number of employees in the employee table.

Count(<col name>)
● This function returns the number of not null values in the specified column, but
includes duplicate values in counting
Example
Q; count the number of grades of employees in the employee table.

Count(DISTINCT <col name>)

This function returns the number of unique, not null values in the specified column.
Example
Q Count the number of different grades of the employee

Grouping Records (Group by clause)

• To divide the rows in a table into smaller groups of information,
group by clause is used.
• It combines all identical rows in a group of fields. A column name
is used for grouping
Syntax;-
SELECT [DISTINCT] <COL LIST> FROM <TABLE NAME>
[WHERE <CONDITION>]
[GROUP BY < GROUP BY EXPR>]
[HAVING <CONDITION>]
[ORDER BY <COL NAME>/<EXPR> ASC/DESC];
NOTE -
● Group by expression specifies the columns whose values determine the
basics for grouping rows
● WHERE clause is always before GROUP BY if required. Example
Q. Display the no of employees in each zone.
Q. Display the no of employees in each zone whose salary is greater than 32000

Having clause
● This clause is used to restrict rows resulting after grouping.
● Steps followed in execution of select with group by and having clause- 1. Rows
are grouped according to the columns in the group by clause.
2. Then the group function is applied.
3. Groups matching with Having clauses are displayed.
Example
Q. Display only whose departments with sum of salaries whose total salary is greater than
70000

Cartesian Product (Cross Join or unrestricted join)

• Returns all the rows in the two tables listed in the query.
• Each row of the first table is paired with all the rows in the second table.
• This happens when there is no relationship between two tables. It is rarely useful.

Example- Consider the following tables

Q: To display the name of the employees and their department name

Joins in MySQL
● A join is used when data from two or more tables is required.
● Rows in one table can be joined to the rows in another table based on the common
values existing in corresponding columns of two tables.
● Joins are used to retrieve data from tables related to each other with primary- foreign
key relationships.
● There are many types of join Equi join
● Specified columns from the joining tables are checked for equality.
● Values from joining tables are retrieved only if the condition in where clause is
satisfied.
SYNTAX:-
SELECT <column_name (s)>
 FROM <table_name1>, <table_name2>, ...., <table_nameN>
WHERE <table_name1>.<column_name> = <table_name2>.<column_name>;

Q: to display the name of the employee and their department

Note-
To join n tables together minimum of n-1 join conditions are to be satisfied.
Results of Equi joins are the same as simple joins or inner joins. Inner join (simply join)
uses on clause.
You should always qualify the columns when joining tables having the same name as
corresponding columns. To qualify the columns we use “.” (dot) operator.

Natural Join
This clause is based on all the columns in the two tables that have the same name.
It selects the rows from two tables that have equal values in the matched columns.
SYNTAX:-
SELECT [column_names | *]
FROM table_name1
NATURAL JOIN table_name2;

Example- consider the same tables employee and department.

Q : To display the name of employee and department of all employee
 Note-No need to specify the column names to join. Works with same column name in both
the tables. The Resulting table has unique columns.

Interface Python with SQL database

Performing insert, delete, update,delete queries
Display data by using fetchone(), fetchall(), fetchmany (), rowcount()

Database connectivity
Database connectivity refers to connection and communication between an application and
a database system.
The term “front-end” refers to the user interface, while “back-end” means the server,
application and database that work behind the scenes to deliver information to the user.
• Mysql.connector- Library or package to connect from python to MySQL.
Before we connect the program with mysql , we need to install connectivity package named
mysql-connector- python
• Command to install connectivity package:- pip install mysql-connector-python
• Command to import connector:- import mysql.connector
• Steps for python MySQL connectivity
1 . Install Python
2 Install MySQL
 3 Open Command prompt
4 Switch on internet connection
5 Type pip install mysql-connector-python and execute
6 Open python IDLE
7 import mysql.connector

Steps for creating database connectivity applications:

1. Start Python- start python editor to create our own python script.

2.Import mysql.connector package

Use the following statement for this.

import mysql.connector or

import mysql.connector as Con

3.Establishing a connection to Mysql DATABASE.

We need to establish a connection to a mysql database using connect () function of

mysql.connector package.

The connect statement creates a connection to the mysql server and returns a MySQL
connection object.

Syntax:

<Connection object> = mysql.connector.connect (host=<hostname>,

user=<username>, passwd:<password>, database=<dbname>)

For eg: import mysql.connector

con=mysql.connector.connect(host=”localhost”,user=”root”, passwd=” “)

4. Creating a cursor Object

It is a useful control structure of database connectivity. It will let us execute

all the queries we need. Cursor stores all the data as a temporary container of
returned data and allows traversal so that we can fetch data one row at a time
from cursor. Cursors are created by the connection.cursor() method.

Syntax:

<cursor object>=<connectionobject>.cursor()
 Eg: cursor=con.cursor()

5. Execute SQL query:

We can execute SQL query using execute() function .

Syntax: <cursor object>.execute(SQL QUERY)

Eg: cursor.execute(“select * from data”)

The above code will execute the sql query and store the retrieved records
(resultset) in the cursor object(cursor).
Result set refers to a logical set of records that are fetched from the database by
executing an sql query and made available in the program.

6.Extract data from Result set:

The records retrieved from the database using SQL select query has to be
extracted as record from the result set. We can extract data from the result set
using the following fetch () function.

fetchall() fetchone()

fetchmany()

Multiple ways to retrieve data:

fetchall()- Fetches all (remaining) rows of a query result,
returning them as a sequence of sequences (e.g. a list of tuples) .
fetchone()-Fetches the next row of a query result set, returning a
single sequence or None when no more data is available
fetchmany (size)-Fetches the next set of rows of a query result,
returning a sequence of sequences. It will return number of rows

that matches to the size argument. Functions to execute

Domain Name: A domain name is a unique name that identifies a particular website
and represents the name of the server where the web pages reside.

URL: The Uniform Resource Locator is a means to locate resources such as web
pages on the Internet. URL is also a method to address the web pages on the
Internet.

Example: http://cbseacademic.nic.in/web_material/CurriculumMain22/CS2022-
23.pdf is an URL where cbseacademic.nic.in is the
domain name.

b. GSM – Global System for Mobile communications
c. WLL – Wireless Local Loop/Wireless in Local Loop
d. PPP – Point to Point Protocol

2022-23 269
 22 Positional Parameter - When function calls are made, there is a one to one 2
correspondence between the argument and the parameter based on the
order/position in which the argument appears in the function. Ex:
def fun1(x,y,z):
m= x/y-z
print(m) a,b,c
= 5,2,3
fun1(a,b,c)
fun1(4,b,b)
#fun1(a,b) #Error as the third argument is missing

Default parameters - Usually when a function is called, the number of arguments

must match exactly the number of parameters, otherwise python gives an error. But
there is an exception, if a function is defined with a default parameter, then the
function call can have less number of arguments than the number of parameters in
the function header. Ex:
def fun1(x,y,z=2): # z is default
parameter m= x/y-z print(m)
#def fun2(m=2,n,p): # error default arguments must be rightmost
# return m+n+p
a,b,c= 1,2,3
fun1(a,b,c)
fun1(a,b)
#fun1(b) #error as at least two parameters must be passed
OR
A function can return multiple values which is written after the return statement and
the values are separated by commas. The multiple return values are returned as a
tuple object to the statement that made the function call.
Ex:
def fun1(x,y,z):
return x+y,y+z,z+x
a,b,c= 3,5,9

#multiple returned values accepted as a tuple m

= fun1(a,b,c)

print(m)

#multiple returned values accepted in multiple variables p,q,r=fun1(10,11,12)

print(p,q,r)

 20 Disadvantages of bus topology 2
1.Identification of problems becomes difficult if the whole network goes
down
2. Need terminators are required at both ends of the main cable
Disadvantages of star topology
1.If hub goes down everything goes down, none of the devices can work
without hub.
2.More expensive than linear bus topology due to the value of the connecting
devices (network switches)

or
What are routers?.
A router is a network device that can receive the data , analyse it and transmit
it to other networks . It is used to connect a Local Area Network to

the internet. Using a routing table, it ensures that data packets are travelling
through the best suitable paths to their destinations.
In simple words, a gateway is a device that we use for communicating among
various networks possessing different protocol sets. It is responsible for
converting a given protocol to another one.Gateway connects dissimilar

22 What is scope? What is the scope resolving rule in python? 2

The scope of a variable is the region of a program in which the variable is
visible, i.e., in which it is accessible by its name and can be used.
Scope resolution is required when a variable is used to determine where
should its value be come from. Scope resolution in Python follows the LEGB
rule.

Order by keyword sort the result-set either in ascending or in descending
order. This clause sorts the result-set in ascending order by default. In order to
sort the result-set in descending order DESC keyword is used.
Order By Syntax –
SELECT column_1, column_2, column_3...........
FROM Table_Name
ORDER BY column_1, column_2, column_3....... ASC|DESC;
2. Group By :
Group by statement is used to group the rows that have the same value. It is
often used with aggregate functions for example:AVG(), MAX(), COUNT(),
MIN() etc. One thing to remember about the group by clause is that the tuples
are grouped based on the similarity between the attribute values of tuples.
