1. Define an algorithm.
Answer: An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or set of rules to solve a specific problem or

perform a task.
2. Write any two characteristics of a good algorithm.

Answer:
Finiteness: An algorithm must terminate after a finite number of steps.
Definiteness: Each step of the algorithm must be clear and unambiguous.
3. What is the purpose of a flowchart?

Answer: A flowchart is used to visually represent the steps of an algorithm, making it easier to
understand and communicate the process.
4. List two symbols used in flowcharts and their meanings.

|------------------|----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| Definition | A step-by-step procedure to solve a problem. | A graphical representation of an
algorithm. |
| Representation | Written in text. | Represented using symbols. |
| Complexity | Can be complex to understand. | Easier to interpret visually. |

5. Write the steps to install Python on your computer.

Answer:
Download Python from the official website (https://www.python.org).
Run the installer and follow the installation prompts.
Ensure the "Add Python to PATH" option is checked during installation.
6. Explain the difference between Interactive Mode and Script Mode in Python.
Answer:
Interactive Mode: Allows users to test and execute code line by line in the Python shell.
Script Mode: Allows users to write, save, and execute complete Python programs as scripts.
7. What is the difference between implicit and explicit type conversion?

Answer:
Implicit Conversion: Python automatically converts one data type to another (e.g., int to float).
Explicit Conversion: The programmer explicitly converts a data type using functions like int(),
float(), or str().
