d) None
View Answer
Explanation: Execute in shell to verify.
2. To retrieve the character at index 3 from string s=”Hello” what command do we execute (multiple answers allowed)?
a) s[]
b) s.getitem(3)
c) s.__getitem__(3)
d) s.getItem(3)
View Answer
Explanation: __getitem(..) can be used to get character at index specified as parameter.
3. To return the length of string s what command do we execute?
a) len(s) OR s.__len__()
b) len(s) only
c) size(s)
d) s.size()
View Answer
Explanation: len(s) is a built-in function in Python to get the length of the string s, whereas s.__len__() calls the __len__ method of the string object s. It’s less common but functionally equivalent to len(s). So, we can use either of these.
4. If a class defines the __str__(self) method, for an object obj for the class, you can use which command to invoke the __str__ method.
a) obj.__str__()
b) str(obj)
c) print obj
d) all of the mentioned

5. To check whether string s1 contains another string s2, use ________
a) s1.__contains__(s2)
b) s2 in s1
c) s1.contains(s2)
d) si.in(s2)
View Answer
Explanation: s2 in s1 works in the same way as calling the special function __contains__ .
6. Suppose i is 5 and j is 4, i + j is same as ________
a) i.__add(j)
b) i.__add__(j)
c) i.__Add(j)
d) i.__ADD(j)
View Answer
Explanation: Execute in shell to verify.
7. What will be the output of the following Python code?

a) True False
b) True True
c) False True
d) False False
View Answer
Explanation: Execute in the shell objects cannot have same id, however in the case of strings its different.
8. What will be the output of the following Python code?
