Example 2

The following are the two simple reasons to write a function

Creating a new function gives you an opportunity to name a group of statements.

Functions can simplify a program by hiding a complex computation behind a single
command.

Creating a new function can make a program smaller by eliminating repetitive code.

Fig 1

There is much more to programming than writing lines of code. Computer Engineers
refer to the process of planning and organizing a program as Software
 Development. There are several approaches to software development. One version is
known as the waterfall model.

The waterfall model consists of several phases:

1.Customer request:In this phase, the programmer receives a broad statement a

problem to be solved. This is the user requirement specification phase.

2.Analysis: Determines what the program will do. This is viewed as the process of
clarifying the specification for the problem.

3.Design: Determines how the program will do the task

4.Implementation: The programmers write the program. This step is also called coding
phase.

5.Integration: Large programs have many parts.In the integration phase, these parts
are brought together into a smoothly functioning system as a whole.

6. Maintenance: Programs usually have a long life, a span of 5-15 years is common.
During this time, requirements change, errors are detected and minor or major
modifications are made.

decno=0
expnt=len(bitstring)-1
for bit in bitstring:
decno=decno+int(bit)* 2 ** expnt
expnt=expnt-1
print ("The decimal number is=", decno)

b) demonstration + example

In Python, an anonymous function is a function that is defined without a name.

These functions are called anonymous because they are not declared in the standard
manner by using the def keyword. You can use the lambda keyword to create small
anonymous functions. 5+2

Syntax of Lambda Function in python

lambda [arg1 [,arg2,.....argn]]:expression

Lambda functions can have any number of arguments but only one expression. The
expression is evaluated and returned. Lambda functions can be used wherever
function objects are required.

Example of Lambda Function in python

Here is an example of lambda function that doubles the input value.

# Program to show the use of lambda functions

double = lambda x: x * 2

print(double(5))

d3 = 09/12/20

d4 = Sep-12-2020

Module 4

17 a) Operator overloading is another kind of polymorphism. Python operators work for 4

built-in classes. But the same operator behaves differently with different types. For
example, the + operator will perform arithmetic addition on two numbers, merge two
lists, or concatenate two strings.
 This feature in Python that allows the same operator to have different meaning
according to the context is called operator overloading.

18 a) Definition 2

Handling exception 4

Example 2

What is Exception?
An exception is an event, which occurs during the execution of a program that disrupts
the normal flow of the program's instructions. In general, when a Python script
encounters a situation that it cannot cope with, it raises an exception. An exception is
a Python object that represents an error.

When a Python script raises an exception, it must either handle the exception
immediately otherwise it terminates and quits.

Handling an exception

If you have some suspicious code that may raise an exception, you can defend your
program by placing the suspicious code in a try: block. After the try: block, include an
except: statement, followed by a block of code which handles the problem as elegantly
as possible.

Syntax

Here is simple syntax of try....except...else blocks

try:

You do your operations here;

......................

except ExceptionI:
 If there is ExceptionI, then execute this block.

except ExceptionII:

If there is ExceptionII, then execute this block.

......................

else:

If there is no exception then execute this block.

For example, we might prompt the user for the name of a file and then try to open it.
If the file doesn’t exist, we don’t want the program to crash; we want to handle the
exception:

filename =input('Enter a file name: ')

try:
f = open (filename, "r")
except IOError:
print ('There is no file named', filename)

else:

f.close()

As previously mentioned, the portion that can cause an exception is placed inside the
try block.
