CASE STUDY QUESTIONS (R)

Lalit is a game programmer and he is designing a game where he has to use different
python functions as much as possible. Apart from other things, following functionalities are
to be implemented in the game.

(1) The players have to input their names and Lalit has to remove the unnecessary blank
spaces from the name.

(2) He is simulating a dice where random number generation is required.

(3) Since the program becomes too lengthy, Lalit wants a separate section where he can
store all the functions used in the game program.

(4) He wants to implement usage of less memory so he doesn‟t want to include all the
functions stored in separate sections.

(5) In the game, one source object generates and throws balls and the player has to catch
the balls. Here the distance and time is to be calculated so that the program can check
whether the ball was caught or missed by the player.

Lalit is feeling difficulty in implementing the above functionalities. Help him by giving
answers following questions:

12 Q.2: To implement functionality (2) which module can be used:

(A) random (B) randomise (C) randint (D) math

13 Q.3: In functionality (3), Lalit should use

(A) in-built functions
(B) He should write another Python program
(C) He should use a module with all the required functions
 10

(D) He should make a separate section in the same Python program

14 Q.4: To implement functionality (4), which syntax is correct

(A) import <function> from <module>
(B) from <module> import <function>
(C) import all
(D) import <function>

15 Q.5: Which function is not the built-in Python function

(A) input() (B) len() (C) sqrt() (D) pow()

One student who is learning Python, is making a function-based program to find the roots
of a quadratic equation. He wrote the program but he is getting some error. Help him to

3 x = b*b-4*a*c
4 if x<0:
5 return "Sorry, complex root(s)"
6 d = sqrt(x)
7 r1 = (-b + d)/(2*a)
8 r2 = (-b - d)/(2*a)
9 return r1,r2
10 print(quad(1,1,2))
11 root = quad(3)
12 rt = quad(2,1)

16 .1: Which python module should be used in line 1

(A) random (B) CMath
(C) math (D) Either (B) or (C)

17 Q.2: He is getting an error in line 9. What may be the error?

(A) Syntax error (B) Indentation error
(C) Logical Error (D) NameError

18 Q.3: Which statement is correct with reference to above program

(A) Two return statements are used and a function can use only one return statement
(B) Required module is not given
(C) Syntax error in line 4
(D) Error in line 11

19 Q.4: Which type of argument method is used in line 12

(A) Positional arguments (B) Default arguments
(C) Keyword arguments (D) Variable length arguments

20 Q.5: If all the errors are removed from the program then what will be the value of variable
rt after execution of line 12
