Students are advised to do laboratory/practical practice not limited
to, but including the following types of problems:
 WAP to find the roots of a quadratic equation.
 WAP to accept a number ‘n’ and (a). Check if ’n’ is prime
(b). Generate all prime numbers till ‘n’ (c). Generate first ‘n’
prime numbers (d). This program may be done using
functions.
 WAP that accepts a character and performs the following:
(a). print whether the character is a letter or numeric digit or a
special character (b). if the character is a letter, print whether
the letter is uppercase or lowercase (c). if the character is a
numeric digit, prints its name in text (e.g., if input is 9, output
is NINE)
 WAP to perform the following operations on a string (a).
Find the frequency of a character in a string. (b). Replace a
character by another character in a string. (c). Remove the
first occurrence of a character from a string. (d). Remove all
occurrences of a character from a string.
 WAP to swap the first n characters of two strings.
 Write a function that accepts two strings and returns the
indices of all the occurrences of the second string in the first
string as a list. If the second string is not present in the first
string, then it should return -1.
 WAP to create a list of the cubes of only the even integers
appearing in the input list (may have elements of other types
8
also) using the following: (a). 'for' loop (b). list
comprehension
 WAP to read a file and (a). Print the total number of
characters, words and lines in the file. (b). Calculate the
frequency of each character in the file. Use a variable of
dictionary type to maintain the count. (c). Print the words in
reverse order. (d). Copy even lines of the file to a file named
‘File1’ and odd lines to another file named ‘File2’.
 Write a function that prints a dictionary where the keys are
numbers between 1 and 5 and the values are cubes of the
keys.
 Consider a tuple t1= (1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10). WAP to
perform following operations: (a). Print half the values of the
tuple in one line and the other half in the next line. (b). Print
another tuple whose values are even numbers in the given
tuple. (c). Concatenate a tuple t2= (11,13,15) with t1. (d).
Return maximum and minimum value from this tuple
 WAP to accept a name from a user. Raise and handle
appropriate exception(s) if the text entered by the user
contains digits and/or special characters.
