The Arduino Uno is a popular microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P chip. It's widely used in
hobbyist projects, educational settings, and prototyping due to its ease of use and versatility. Here are the
main components on the Arduino Uno board and their functionalities:
1. Microcontroller (ATmega328P): This is the brain of the Arduino Uno board. It's responsible for
executing the code uploaded to the board and controlling all other components based on the
instructions in the code.
2. Crystal Oscillator: The Arduino Uno board uses a 16 MHz crystal oscillator. It provides the clock
signal needed for the microcontroller to operate at its specified frequency.
3. Reset Button: The reset button allows you to restart the microcontroller, causing it to begin
executing the code from the beginning.
4. Power Connector: This is where you connect an external power source to power the Arduino Uno
board. The board can be powered using a USB cable connected to a computer or a DC power
adapter.
5. Voltage Regulator (5V and 3.3V): The voltage regulator ensures that the voltage supplied to the
board remains stable. It regulates the incoming voltage to 5V for the main board and 3.3V for certain
components like the ATmega328P's ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter).
6. Digital Input/Output Pins (GPIO): The Arduino Uno has a total of 14 digital input/output pins,
labeled from 0 to 13. These pins can be used to read digital inputs (like switches or sensors) or to
output digital signals (like controlling LEDs or relays).
7. Analog Input Pins: There are 6 analog input pins (labeled A0 to A5) on the Arduino Uno board.
These pins can read analog voltages from sensors or other analog devices. The ATmega328P's ADC
converts these analog signals into digital values that can be processed by the microcontroller.
8. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Pins: Some of the digital pins on the Arduino Uno board (pins 3,
5, 6, 9, 10, and 11) support PWM output. PWM is used to simulate analog output by rapidly
switching the pin on and off at varying duty cycles, allowing you to control the brightness of LEDs
or the speed of motors, for example.

between the Arduino board and the computer via the USB interface. They blink when data is being
sent or received.
11. ICSP Header: The In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) header allows you to program the
ATmega328P microcontroller using an external programmer or another Arduino board. It provides
an alternative method for programming the microcontroller if needed.
12. Voltage Reference (AREF) Pin: The AREF pin is used to provide an external reference voltage for
the ATmega328P's ADC when using analog sensors. It allows you to use a specific voltage range for
analog readings instead of relying on the default internal reference voltage.

(b). To interface an LED with an Arduino Uno and write a program to blink the LED, you'll need the
following components:
1. Arduino Uno board
2. LED (any color)
3. Resistor (around 220 ohms is commonly used to limit current to the LED)
4. Breadboard (optional but recommended for easy connections)
5. Jumper wires
Here are the steps to connect the LED to the Arduino Uno and write a program to blink it:
1. Connect the Components:
• Insert the LED into the breadboard. Make sure the longer leg (anode, positive) of the LED is
connected to one side of the breadboard, and the shorter leg (cathode, negative) is connected
to the other side.
• Connect one end of the resistor to the same row as the LED's cathode.
• Connect the other end of the resistor to a GND (ground) pin on the Arduino Uno board using
a jumper wire.
• Connect the anode (longer leg) of the LED to digital pin 13 on the Arduino Uno using a
jumper wire.
2. Write the Arduino Sketch (Program): Open the Arduino IDE on your computer and create a new
sketch (File -> New). Copy and paste the following code into the Arduino IDE:
// Define the LED pin
const int ledPin = 13;

void setup() {
// Initialize the LED pin as an output
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
// Turn the LED on
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second (1000 milliseconds)

// Turn the LED off

digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second (1000 milliseconds)
}
This code defines the LED pin as pin 13 and sets it as an output in the setup() function. In the loop()
function, it turns the LED on for 1 second, then turns it off for 1 second, creating a blinking effect.
3. Upload the Sketch to Arduino:
• Connect your Arduino Uno board to your computer using a USB cable.
• Select the correct board and port from the Arduino IDE (Tools -> Board -> Arduino Uno, and
Tools -> Port -> your Arduino port).
• Click the "Upload" button (right arrow icon) in the Arduino IDE to compile and upload the
sketch to your Arduino board.
Once the upload is successful, you should see the LED connected to pin 13 of the Arduino Uno board
blinking on and off at a 1-second interval. Adjust the delay() function values if you want to change the
blinking speed.

(b).
i) AnalogRead():
• analogRead() is used to read analog voltage values from analog pins on the Arduino board.
• Analog pins on Arduino (e.g., A0, A1, etc.) can read voltages in the range of 0 to 5 volts.
• The analogRead() function converts the analog voltage into a digital value ranging from 0 to 1023
(10-bit resolution), where 0 represents 0 volts, and 1023 represents 5 volts.
• Syntax:
int sensorValue = analogRead(A0); // Reads analog voltage from pin A0

• In this example, sensorValue will store the digital value read from analog pin A0.

ii) AnalogWrite():
• analogWrite() is used to generate a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal on a digital pin to
simulate analog output.
• PWM is a technique where the output pin is rapidly switched on and off at varying duty cycles to
control the average voltage applied to devices like LEDs or motors, effectively controlling their
brightness or speed.
• Syntax:

analogWrite(pin, value); // Generates PWM signal on specified pin

• The pin parameter specifies the digital pin number (e.g., 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, or 11 on most Arduino
boards) where PWM output will be generated.
• The value parameter ranges from 0 (minimum) to 255 (maximum), representing the duty cycle of the

brightness/speed).

iii) DigitalRead():
• digitalRead() is used to read digital logic values (HIGH or LOW) from digital pins on the Arduino
board.
• Digital pins can be used to interface with digital sensors, switches, buttons, or to read digital outputs
 from other devices.
• Syntax:
int buttonState = digitalRead(2); // Reads digital logic value from pin 2

• In this example, buttonState will store the value HIGH (1) or LOW (0) depending on the logic level
detected at digital pin 2.

iv) DigitalWrite():
• digitalWrite() is used to set the digital output state (HIGH or LOW) on digital pins.
• It's commonly used to control LEDs, relays, or to send digital signals to other devices.
• Syntax:
digitalWrite(pin, HIGH); // Sets specified pin to HIGH (5V)
digitalWrite(pin, LOW); // Sets specified pin to LOW (0V)

• The pin parameter specifies the digital pin number, and the second parameter (HIGH or LOW) sets
the output state accordingly.
These functions are fundamental in Arduino programming and are used extensively to interact with both
analog and digital components connected to the Arduino board.

explain with an application programming.
Temperature sensor interfacing with Arduino UNO

DHT11 Temperature and Humidity sensor

• The DHT11 is a basic, ultra low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor.
• It's fairly simple to use but requires careful timing to grab data.
It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air andspits
out a digital signal on the data pin (no analog input pins needed).
• thermistor is a temperature sensing element and it can operate over a wide temperature
range and give temperature value by its resistance change.
For measuring temperature this sensor uses a Negative Temperature coefficientthermistor,
which causes a decrease in its resistance value with increase in temperature.

The humidity sensor component consists of two electrodes containing a dehydrated

substrate sandwich. The ions are released into the substrate as water vapor absorbs it,
which in turn increases the conductivity between the electrodes.
 The resistance change between the two electrodes is proportional to the relative humidity.
High relative humidity reduces the resistance between the electrodes, while low relative
humidity increases the resistance between the electrodes.
Features of DHT11 Sensor
• Cheap in Price.
• The temperature range of DHT11 is from 0 to 50 degree Celsius with a 2-degree
accuracy.
• Humidity range of this sensor is from 20 to 80% with 5% accuracy.
• The sampling rate of this sensor is 1Hz .i.e. it gives one reading for every second.
• DHT11 is small in size with operating voltage from 3 to 5 volts.
• The maximum current used while measuring is 2.5mA.3

6 a) Explain the hardware components and working principle of IR Sensor

b) Discuss how to interface a IR Sensor with Arduino and explain with an
application programming.
(a). An IR (Infrared) sensor, also known as an IR receiver or IR detector, is a type of electronic device that
detects infrared radiation in its surrounding environment. IR sensors are widely used in various applications
such as proximity sensing, object detection, motion detection, and remote controls. Here's an explanation of
the hardware components and working principle of an IR sensor:
1. Hardware Components of an IR Sensor:
• IR Detector: The core component of an IR sensor is the IR detector or photodetector. It
consists of a semiconductor material that is sensitive to infrared radiation. Common types of
IR detectors include photodiodes, phototransistors, and IR receiver modules.
• IR Filter: Infrared sensors often have an IR filter to block out visible light and only allow
infrared wavelengths to pass through. This filter helps improve the sensor's sensitivity to IR
radiation.
• Signal Processing Circuitry: IR sensors typically include signal processing circuitry such as
amplifiers and filters to process the output signal from the IR detector. This circuitry helps
convert the detected IR radiation into usable electrical signals.
2. Working Principle of an IR Sensor: The working principle of an IR sensor involves detecting
infrared radiation emitted or reflected by objects in its vicinity. Here's how it works:
• Emitter and Detector Pair: In many IR sensor setups, there are two main components: an
IR emitter (usually an IR LED) and an IR detector (e.g., photodiode or phototransistor). The
emitter emits infrared radiation, and the detector receives it.
• Emitter Operation: The IR emitter emits infrared light pulses at a specific frequency or
wavelength. The emitted IR radiation travels through the air and interacts with objects in its
path.
• Object Interaction: When the emitted IR radiation strikes an object, it can be reflected,
absorbed, or transmitted depending on the object's surface characteristics. For example, black
or dark-colored objects absorb more IR radiation, while lighter-colored objects may reflect
more of it.
• Detector Response: The IR detector receives the IR radiation that is either reflected or
emitted by objects. The detector's sensitivity to IR radiation causes it to generate a
corresponding electrical signal based on the intensity of the received IR radiation.
• Signal Processing: The electrical signal from the IR detector is processed by the signal
processing circuitry in the IR sensor. This processing may involve amplification, filtering,
and conversion of the analog signal to a digital signal if needed.
• Output Signal: The processed output signal from the IR sensor indicates the presence or
absence of IR radiation or changes in the IR radiation level. This information can be used for
various purposes such as object detection, motion sensing, or data transmission in remote
control systems.
In summary, IR sensors detect infrared radiation using an emitter-detector pair, where the emitter emits IR
light, and the detector detects the reflected or emitted IR radiation from objects. The detected IR radiation is
converted into electrical signals that can be processed and used for different applications.

(b). To interface an IR sensor with Arduino and explain with an application programming, you can follow
these steps:
Interfacing IR Sensor with Arduino:
1. Hardware Setup:
• Connect the IR sensor module to the Arduino board by linking the VCC pin to 5V, GND pin
to GND, and the OUT pin to a digital pin (e.g., pin 10 or 13).
• Ensure the connections are secure and follow the correct pinout for the IR sensor module.

2. Programming the Arduino:

• Write a simple Arduino code to interface with the IR sensor module.
• Declare the pins for the IR sensor and any other components you are using (e.g., LEDs).
• Set the pinMode for the sensor pin as INPUT and for any output pins as OUTPUT.
• Use functions like digitalRead() to read the sensor status and digitalWrite() to control the
output pins based on sensor readings.

3. Application Programming:
• Develop an application scenario where the IR sensor is used, such as an obstacle avoidance
robot or a motion detection system.
• Define the behavior of the system based on the sensor readings. For example, if an obstacle is
detected, activate an LED or trigger a specific action.
• Utilize conditional statements in your code to respond to different sensor inputs and create a
responsive system.
Example Code Snippet:
cpp
int IRsensor = 10; // Connect IR sensor module to Arduino pin 10
int LED = 13; // Connect LED to Arduino pin 13

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize Serial communication
pinMode(IRsensor, INPUT); // Set IR Sensor pin as INPUT
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT); // Set LED pin as OUTPUT
}

void loop() {
int sensorStatus = digitalRead(IRsensor); // Read sensor status

if (sensorStatus == HIGH) {
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH); // Turn on LED if obstacle is detected
} else {
digitalWrite(LED, LOW); // Turn off LED if no obstacle is detected
}
}
By following these steps and incorporating the provided code snippet, you can successfully interface an IR
sensor with Arduino and create a functional application that responds to the sensor's input. This setup can be
further expanded and customized based on the specific requirements of your project.

irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the IR receiver
}

void loop() {
if (irrecv.decode(&results)) { // Check if IR signal is received
unsigned long irCode = results.value; // Get the received IR code

// Check if the received IR code matches the code for a specific button
if (irCode == 0xFFA25D) { // Example: Power button code
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, !digitalRead(LED_PIN)); // Toggle the LED state
}

irrecv.resume(); // Continue to receive IR signals

}
}
Explanation:
1. We include the IRremote.h library to work with IR signals using the IR receiver module.
2. We define the pins for the IR receiver module (pin 11) and the LED (pin 13).
3. In the setup() function, we set the LED pin as an output and enable the IR receiver.
4. In the loop() function, we continuously check for IR signals using irrecv.decode(&results).
5. If an IR signal is received (irrecv.decode(&results) returns true), we extract the received IR code
using results.value.
 6. We compare the received IR code to a specific button code (e.g., power button code) and perform an
action (toggle LED state) accordingly.
7. Finally, we use irrecv.resume() to continue receiving IR signals.
Application:
In this application, pressing the power button on the IR remote control will toggle the LED connected to pin
13 on and off. You can modify the IR code and actions in the sketch to control other devices or perform
different tasks based on the IR remote's buttons.

(b). Valid and Invalid Python Statements

Let's analyze each statement to determine its validity in Python:a. print("ksk", + "123")
• Validity: Invalid
• Explanation: The use of the + operator between a string and an integer is not valid in this context. It
would result in a TypeError.
b. print("ksk" '+' "123")
• Validity: Invalid
• Explanation: The concatenation of strings using the + operator requires separate string literals on
 either side of the operator. This statement lacks proper concatenation syntax.
c. print("ksk", '+', "123")
• Validity: Valid
• Explanation: This statement correctly uses commas to separate different elements within
the print() function, allowing for the printing of multiple values with spaces between them.
d. print('ABC is a "technological" University')
• Validity: Valid
• Explanation: This statement is valid as it uses single quotes to encapsulate the entire string,
including double quotes within it.
e. print(2 + '3')
• Validity: Invalid
• Explanation: Mixing integer and string data types in an arithmetic operation is not allowed in
Python. This would result in a TypeError.
f. print('2' * 3)
• Validity: Valid
• Explanation: This statement is valid as it uses the * operator to repeat the string '2' three times,
resulting in '222' being printed.
By analyzing these statements, we can identify which ones are valid and invalid based on Python's syntax
and rules regarding data types and operators.

a) Explain any six arithmetic operators of python with suitable

examples of each
b) Explain any six assignment operators of python with
suitable examples of each.
9
c) Explain all comparison operators of python with suitable
examples of each.

A) here are six arithmetic operators in Python along with examples for each:
1. Addition (+): The addition operator is used to add two numbers together.
a = 5 b = 3 result = a + b print("Result of addition:", result) # Output: 8

2. Subtraction (-): The subtraction operator is used to subtract one number from another.
x = 10 y = 7 result = x - y print("Result of subtraction:", result) # Output: 3

3. Multiplication (*): The multiplication operator is used to multiply two numbers.

p = 4 q = 6 result = p * q print("Result of multiplication:", result) # Output: 24

4. Division (/): The division operator is used to divide one number by another. In Python 3, division
always returns a float.
m = 20 n = 5 result = m / n print("Result of division:", result) # Output: 4.0

5. Floor Division (//): The floor division operator divides one number by another and returns the
quotient as an integer, discarding any fractional part.
x = 13 y = 5 result = x // y print("Result of floor division:", result) # Output: 2

6. Modulo (%): The modulo operator returns the remainder when one number is divided by another.
a = 10 b = 3 result = a % b print("Remainder after division:", result) # Output: 1
These are the basic arithmetic operators in Python used for common mathematical operations.

b) Assignment operators in Python are used to assign values to variables. Here are six assignment operators along
with examples for each:
1. Equal (=): The equal sign (=) is the simplest assignment operator, used to assign the value on its
right to the variable on its left.
x = 5 print(x) # Output: 5

2. Addition and Assignment (+=): The += operator adds the value on its right to the variable on its left
and assigns the result to the variable.
x = 5 x += 3 # Equivalent to x = x + 3 print(x) # Output: 8

3. Subtraction and Assignment (-=): The -= operator subtracts the value on its right from the variable
on its left and assigns the result to the variable.
y = 10 y -= 4 # Equivalent to y = y - 4 print(y) # Output: 6

4. Multiplication and Assignment (*=): The *= operator multiplies the value on its right with the
variable on its left and assigns the result to the variable.
z = 2 z *= 6 # Equivalent to z = z * 6 print(z) # Output: 12

5. Division and Assignment (/=): The /= operator divides the variable on its left by the value on its
right and assigns the result to the variable.
a = 15 a /= 3 # Equivalent to a = a / 3 print(a) # Output: 5.0 (Note: In Python 3, division always returns a
float)

6. Modulo and Assignment (%=): The %= operator takes the remainder of the variable on its left
divided by the value on its right and assigns the result to the variable.
b = 17 b %= 5 # Equivalent to b = b % 5 print(b) # Output: 2
These assignment operators provide a shorthand way to perform arithmetic operations and update variables
in Python.

c) Comparison operators in Python are used to compare values and return boolean results (True or False). Here are all
the comparison operators in Python along with examples for each:
1. Equal to (==): This operator checks if two values are equal.
x = 5 y = 5 print(x == y) # Output: True

2. Not Equal to (!=): This operator checks if two values are not equal.
a = 10 b = 7 print(a != b) # Output: True

3. Greater than (>): This operator checks if the left operand is greater than the right operand.
m = 15 n = 10 print(m > n) # Output: True

4. Less than (<): This operator checks if the left operand is less than the right operand.
p = 8 q = 12 print(p < q) # Output: True

5. Greater than or equal to (>=): This operator checks if the left operand is greater than or equal to
the right operand.
x = 7 y = 5 print(x >= y) # Output: True

6. Less than or equal to (<=): This operator checks if the left operand is less than or equal to the right
operand.
a = 10 b = 10 print(a <= b) # Output: True
These comparison operators are frequently used in conditional statements, loops, and other control structures
to make decisions based on the relationships between values.

10 a) Explain break, continue and pass statement with suitable

example of each
 b) Differentiate between List, Tuple & Set with suitable
examples of each

a) In Python, break, continue, and pass are control flow statements used to modify the flow of execution in loops or
conditional blocks.
1. break Statement: The break statement is used to exit the current loop prematurely, regardless of the
loop's condition. When encountered, it immediately terminates the loop and transfers control to the
statement immediately following the loop.
Example of break statement:
# Find the first occurrence of a number divisible by 5 in a list numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] for num
in numbers: if num % 5 == 0: print("First number divisible by 5:", num) break
2. continue Statement: The continue statement is used to skip the rest of the current iteration of a loop
and proceed to the next iteration. When encountered, it jumps back to the top of the loop, bypassing
the remaining code within the loop's body.
Example of continue statement:
# Print all even numbers in a list, skipping odd numbers numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] for num in
numbers: if num % 2 != 0: continue print("Even number:", num)
3. pass Statement: The pass statement is a null operation that does nothing when executed. It is
typically used as a placeholder where syntactically a statement is required but no action needs to be
taken.
Example of pass statement:
# Define a function that does nothing def dummy_function(): pass # A placeholder class definition class
MyClass: pass # A conditional block where no action is needed x = 10 if x < 5: pass else: print("x is greater
than or equal to 5")
In summary, break is used to exit a loop prematurely, continue is used to skip the current iteration of a
loop, and pass is used as a placeholder for syntactic correctness when no action is needed.

b) let's differentiate between lists, tuples, and sets in Python along with suitable examples for each:
1. List:
• Lists are ordered collections of items that are mutable, meaning their elements can be
changed after creation.
• Elements in a list are enclosed in square brackets [ ] and separated by commas.
• Lists allow duplicate elements, and their elements can be of different data types.
• Lists support indexing and slicing operations to access and manipulate elements.
Example of a list:
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 'apple', 'banana', 'cherry'] print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 'apple', 'banana',
'cherry'] # Accessing elements by index print(my_list[0]) # Output: 1 # Modifying an element
my_list[4] = 'orange' print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 'orange', 'banana', 'cherry']
2. Tuple:
• Tuples are ordered collections of items that are immutable, meaning their elements
cannot be changed after creation.
• Elements in a tuple are enclosed in parentheses ( ) and separated by commas.
• Tuples allow duplicate elements, and their elements can be of different data types.
• Tuples support indexing and slicing operations to access elements.
Example of a tuple:
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 'apple', 'banana', 'cherry') print(my_tuple) # Output: (1, 2, 3, 4, 'apple',
'banana', 'cherry') # Accessing elements by index print(my_tuple[0]) # Output: 1
3. Set:
• Sets are unordered collections of unique items that are mutable, meaning their elements
can be changed after creation.
• Elements in a set are enclosed in curly braces { } and separated by commas.
• Sets do not allow duplicate elements, and their elements must be hashable (immutable
data types).
• Sets do not support indexing or slicing operations, but they offer operations like union,
 intersection, and difference.
Example of a set:
my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 'apple', 'banana', 'cherry'} print(my_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3, 4, 'apple', 'banana',
'cherry'} # Adding an element to the set my_set.add('orange') print(my_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3, 4,
'apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'orange'} # Removing an element from the set my_set.remove(2)
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 3, 4, 'apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'orange'}
In summary, lists are mutable ordered collections, tuples are immutable ordered collections, and sets
are mutable unordered collections of unique elements. Each data structure has its own characteristics
and is suitable for different use cases based on requirements such as mutability, ordering, and
uniqueness.

a) Explain clear() and extend() methods of list with suitable

examples of each.
b) Explain pop() and sort() methods of list with suitable
11 examples of each.
a)Both clear() and extend() are built-in methods of the list class in Python.
1. clear() method:
• The clear() method is used to remove all elements from a list. It empties the list, leaving it
with a length of 0.
Example using clear() method:
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] print("Original list:", my_list) # Output: Original list: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] my_list.clear()
print("List after clearing:", my_list) # Output: List after clearing: []
2. extend() method:
• The extend() method is used to append all elements from another iterable (such as a list,
tuple, or set) to the end of the list.
Example using extend() method:
my_list = [1, 2, 3] other_list = [4, 5, 6] my_list.extend(other_list) print("Extended list:", my_list) # Output:
Extended list: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] # Another example with tuples my_list.extend((7, 8, 9)) print("Extended list
with tuple:", my_list) # Output: Extended list with tuple: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
In summary:
• clear() method removes all elements from a list, making it empty.
• extend() method appends all elements from another iterable to the end of the list, effectively
extending the list.

b)Both pop() and sort() are built-in methods of the list class in Python.
1. pop() method:
• The pop() method is used to remove and return the element at a specified index (default is the
last element) from a list.
• It modifies the list in place.
Example using pop() method:
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] # Remove and return the last element popped_element = my_list.pop()
print("Popped element:", popped_element) # Output: Popped element: 5 print("List after popping:", my_list)
# Output: List after popping: [1, 2, 3, 4] # Remove and return the element at index 1 popped_element =
my_list.pop(1) print("Popped element at index 1:", popped_element) # Output: Popped element at index 1: 2
print("List after popping:", my_list) # Output: List after popping: [1, 3, 4]
2. sort() method:
• The sort() method is used to sort the elements of a list in ascending order by default.
• It modifies the list in place and does not return any value.
Example using sort() method:
my_list = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5] # Sort the list in ascending order my_list.sort() print("Sorted list in
ascending order:", my_list) # Output: Sorted list in ascending order: [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 9] # Sort the list in
descending order my_list.sort(reverse=True) print("Sorted list in descending order:", my_list) # Output:
Sorted list in descending order: [9, 6, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1]
In summary:
• pop() method removes and returns the element at a specified index from a list.
• sort() method sorts the elements of a list in ascending order by default, and it can be used to sort in
descending order by passing the reverse=True argument. Both methods modify the list in place.

12 a) Consider the list ist=[9,8,7,6,5,4,3]. Write the Python

program which performs the following operation
without using built-in methods.
1) Insert element 10 at beginning of the list.
2) Insert element 2 at end of the list.
3) Delete the element at index position 5.
4) Print all elements in reverse order.

b) Differentiate List and Tuple in Python.

b) Lists and tuples are both data structures in Python used to store collections of items, but they have several
key differences. Here's a comparison between lists and tuples:
1. Mutability:
• Lists are mutable, meaning their elements can be modified after creation. You can add,
remove, or modify elements in a list.
• Tuples are immutable, meaning their elements cannot be changed after creation. Once a tuple
is created, its elements cannot be modified, added, or removed.
2. Syntax:
• Lists are enclosed in square brackets [ ], and elements are separated by commas ,.
• Tuples are enclosed in parentheses ( ), and elements are separated by commas ,.
3. Usage:
• Lists are commonly used when you need a collection of items that may change over time or
when you need to perform operations like adding, removing, or modifying elements.
• Tuples are used when you need an immutable collection of items, such as coordinates,
database records, or function arguments, where you want to ensure that the data remains
unchanged.
4. Performance:
• Lists may have slightly lower performance compared to tuples because of their mutability.
Modifying a list (e.g., appending or removing elements) may require memory reallocation
and copying elements.
• Tuples have better performance compared to lists because of their immutability. Once a tuple
is created, its elements cannot be changed, so there is no need for memory reallocation or
copying elements.
5. Iteration:
• Both lists and tuples support iteration using loops and list comprehensions.
• Since lists are mutable, you can modify elements during iteration.
• Since tuples are immutable, you cannot modify elements during iteration.
6. Typical Use Cases:
• Lists are commonly used for dynamic collections of items, such as lists of tasks, user inputs,
or database query results.
• Tuples are often used for fixed collections of related data, such as coordinates (x, y), dates
(year, month, day), or function return values.
In summary, lists are mutable collections of items commonly used for dynamic data, while tuples are
immutable collections used for fixed data. The choice between lists and tuples depends on the specific
requirements of your program, including mutability, performance, and intended use.
