Step 5 – Insert the value
Step 6 – Repeat until list is sorted

Tamil Nadu 12th Computer Science Model Question Paper 1 English Medium

Question 35 (a).
Explain input function with example?
input( ) function:
Answer:
In Python, input( ) function is used to accept data as input at run time. The syntax for input( ) function is,
Variable = input (“prompt string ’’)

Where, prompt string in the syntax is a statement or message to the user, to know what input can be given. If a prompt string is used, it is displayed on the monitor; the user can provide expected data from the input device. The input( ) takes whatever is typed from the keyboard and stores the entered data in the given variable. If prompt string is not given in input( ) no message is displayed on the screen, thus, the user will not know what is to be typed as input.

Example: input( ) with prompt string
>>> city=input (“Enter Your City: ”)
Enter Your City: Madurai
>>> print (“I am from”, city)
I am from Madurai

Example: input( ) without prompt string
>>> city=input( )
Rajarajan
>>> print (“I am from”, city)
I am from Rajarajan

Note that in example-2, the input( ) is not having any prompt string, thus the user will not know what is to be typed as input. If the user inputs irrelevant data as given in the above example, then the output will be unexpected. So, to make your program more interactive, provide prompt string with input( ).

The input ( ) accepts all data as string or characters but not as numbers. If a numerical value is entered, the input values should be explicitly converted into numeric data type.

The int ( ) function is used to convert string data as integer data explicitly. We will learn about more such functions in later chapters.

Example:
x = int (input(“Enter Number 1: ”))
y = int (input(“Enter Number 2: ”))
print (“The sum = ”, x+y)
Output:
Enter Number 1 : 34
Enter Number 2 : 56
The sum = 90

Example: Alternate method for the above program
x,y=int (input(“Enter Number 1 :”)),int(input(“Enter Number 2:”))
print (“X = “,x,” Y = “,y)
Output:
Enter Number 1:30
Enter Number 2:50
X = 30 Y = 50

[OR]

(b) Explain various types of Relationships in dBMS?
Answer:
Following are the types of relationships used in a database.

  1. One-to-One Relationship
  2. One-to-Many Relationship
  3. Many-to-One Relationship
  4. Many-to-Many Relationship

1. One-to-One Relationship
In One-to-One Relationship, one entity is related with only one other entity. One row in a table is linked with only one row in another table and vice versa.
For example: A student can have only one exam number

Tamil Nadu 12th Computer Science Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 3

2. One-to-Many Relationship
In One-to-Many relationship, one entity is related to many other entities.
One row in a table A is linked to many rows in a table B, but one row in a table B is linked to only one row in table A.
For example: One Department has many staff members.

Tamil Nadu 12th Computer Science Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 4

3. Many-to-One Relationship
In Many-to-One Relationship, many entities can be related with only one in the other entity. For example: A number of staff members working in one Department.
Multiple rows in staff members table is related with only one row in Department table.

Tamil Nadu 12th Computer Science Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 5

4. Many-to-Many Relationship
A many-to-many relationship occurs when multiple records in a table are associated with multiple records in another table.

Example 1: Customers and Product
Customers can purchase various products and Products can be purchased by many customers.

Example 2: Students and Courses A student can register for many Courses and a Course may include many students.

Example 3: Books and Student.
Many Books in a Library are issued to many students.

Question 37(a).
Explain python getopt module?
Answer:
The getopt module of Python helps you to parse (split) command-line options and arguments. This module provides two functions to enable command-line argument parsing.
getopt.getopt method
This method parses command-line options and parameter list. Following is the syntax for this method –
<opts> ,<args>=getopt.getopt (argv, options, [long options])
Here is the detail of the parameters –

argv – This is the argument list of values to be parsed (splited). In our program the complete command will be passed as a list.
options – This is string of option letters that the Python program recognize as, for input or for output, with options (like ‘i’ or ‘o’) that followed by a colon (:). Here colon is used to denote the mode.

longoptions – This parameter is passed with a list of strings. Argument of Long options should be followed by an equal sign (‘=’). In our program the C++ file name will be passed as string and ‘i’ also will be passed along with to indicate it as the input file.

getopt( ) method returns value consisting of two elements. Each of these values are stored separately in two different list (arrays) opts and args. Opts contains list of splitted strings like mode, path and args contains any string if at all not splitted because of wrong path or mode. args will be an empty array if there is no error in splitting strings by getopt( ).

For example The Python code which is going to execute the C++ file p4 in command line will have the getopt() method like the following one.
opts, args = getopt.getopt (argv, “i:”,[‘ifile=’])

Tamil Nadu 12th Computer Science Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 8 - Copy - Copy

In our examples since the entire command line commands are parsed and no leftover argument, the second argument args will be empty [ ]. If args is displayed using print( ) command it displays the output as [ ].
>>>print(args)
[ ]

[OR]

(b) Write a sql code using where clause to display the different grades scored by male students from student table?
Answer:
The WHERE clause is used to extract only those records that fulfill a specified condition. In this example we are going to display the different grades scored by male students from “student table” import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect(“Academy.db”)
cursor = connection.cursor( )
cursor.execute(” SELECT DISTINCT (Grade) FROM student where gender=’M”‘)
result = cursor.fetchall( )
print(*result,sep=”\n”)
OUTPUT
(‘B’,)
(‘A’,)
(C’,)
(D’,)

Question 38 (a).
Write a program that accept data using python input ( ) command and write it in the Table called person?
Answer:
In this example we are going to accept data using Python input() command during runtime and then going to write in the Table called “Person”

Example:
# code for executing query using input data import sqlite3
# creates a database in RAM
con =sqlite3.connect(” Academy, db”)
cur =con.cursor( )
cur.execute(“DROP Table person”)
cur.execute(“create table person (name, age, id)”)
print(“Enter 5 students names:”)
who =[input( ) for i in range(5)]
print(“Enter their ages respectively:”)
age =[int(input()) for i in range(5)]
print(“Enter their ids respectively:”)
p_id =[int(input())for i in range(5)]
n =len(who)
for i in range(n):
# This is the q-mark style:
cur.execute(“insert into person values (?, ?, ?)”, (who[i], age[i], p_id[i]))
# And this is the named style: cur.execute(“select * from person”)
# Fetches all entries from table
print(“Displaying All the Records From Person Table”)
print (*cur.fetchall( ), sep-\n’)

Output:
Enter 5 students names:
RAM
KEERTHANA
KRISHNA
HARISH
GIRISH

Enter their ages respectively:
28
12
21

Enter their ids respectively:
1
2
3
4
5

Displaying All the Records From Person Table
(‘RAM’, 28, 1)
(’KEERTHANA’, 12, 2)
(’KRISHNA1, 21,3)
(‘HARISH’, 18,4)
(‘GIRISH’, 16, 5)

You can even add records to the already existing table like “Student” Using the above coding with appropriate modification in the Field Name. To do so you should comment the create table statement

[OR]

(b) Write a CSV file with a line terminator?
Answer:
A Line Terminator is a string used to terminate lines produced by writer. The default value is \r or \n. We can write csv file with a line terminator in Python by registering new dialects using csv.register_dialect( ) class of csv module.
For Example
import csv
Data = [[‘Fruit’, ‘Quantity’], [‘Apple’, ‘5’], [‘Banana’, ‘7’], [‘Mango’, ‘8’]]
csv.register_dialect(‘myDialect’, delimiter = ‘|’, lineterminator = ‘\n’)
with open(‘c:\\pyprg\\chl3\\line.csv’, ‘w’) as f:
writer = csv.writer(f, dialect=‘myDialect’)
writer.writerows(Data)
f.close( )
When we open the line.csv file, we get following output with spacing between lines:

Tamil Nadu 12th Computer Science Model Question Paper 1 English Medium img 7

In the above code, the new dialect “myDialect uses the delimiter=‘|’ where a | (pipe) is considered as column separator. The line terminator=‘\r\n\r\n’ separates each row and display the data after every two lines.
