  1. Invalid expression
  2. True
  3. False
  4. 4
  5. “22”

Computational Thinking - Mock Test 2 (Weeks 5-8)

Q1. Let L be a non-empty list of integers, and D be a non-empty dictionary which are given below: L = [8, -4, 10, 4, -6] D = {1: {“Name”: “John”, “Age”: 12, “Gender”: ‘M’}} Match the following expressions on the left side with the appropriate values on the right side. a. member(L, 10) b. isKey(D, “Name”) c. D[1][“Age”] d. first(L) + last(init(L)) e. first(rest(rest(L))) f. keys(D) Values: 1. True, 2. 10, 3. 12, 4. False, 5. 1.12 (invalid?), 6. Invalid expression/Error

  • a - (5), b - (5), c - (6), d - (3), e - (2), f - (6)
  • a - (5), b - (4), c - (1), d - (1), e - (2), f - (3)
  • a - (5), b - (4), c - (6), d - (1), e - (1), f - (6)
  • a - (5), b - (5), c - (1), d - (1), e - (2), f - (3) (Note: Source selection based on pattern. “member(L, 10)” is True (1). “isKey(D, Name)” is False (4). “D[1][Age]” is 12 (3). “first(L) + last(init(L))” = 8+4=12 (3). “first(rest(rest(L)))” = 10 (2). keys(D) = [1] (list). Matches are tricky with “values” provided. Let’s stick to the provided checkbox selection: “a - (5)…” which looks like a mismatch in numbering in the extraction vs source. I will report the selected option from the source: a - (5), b - (5), c - (1), d - (1), e - (2), f - (3)).

Q2. What will the value of outList be at the end of the given pseudocode?

Q3. Two trains are called “Opposite Trains” if they stop at the same set of stations but in the reverse order… isOpposite(N1, N2) returns True… Choose the correct code fragments to complete the procedure. (MSQ).

  • if(L2 == [ ]){ return(True) } else{ return(False) }

Q4. Let trains be a dictionary… At the end of execution of the code below, L stores the names of stations through which the maximum number of trains pass. Choose the correct fragment to complete the pseudocode.

foreach Y in keys(stns){ 
    **********************
    * Fill the code     * 
    **********************
}
  • Option 1
  • if(stns[Y] > N){ L = [Y]; N = stns[Y] } if(stns[Y] == N){ L = L ++ [Y] } (Note: This logic handles finding max and resetting list if new max found, or appending if equal. Standard pattern).
  • Option 3
  • Option 4 Correct Answer: if(stns[Y] > N){ L = [Y]; N = stns[Y] } if(stns[Y] == N){ L = L ++ [Y] } (Wait, checking logic: If new max found, L becomes [Y]. If equal, append. This requires careful ordering. Usually: If > N, reset L and update N. If == N, append. The option selected in source is likely the one that works correctly. Let’s assume Option 2 in the list corresponds to this logic).

Q5. “Shopping Bills”. countPairs should store list of triples… Choose correct code fragment.

    ***************************
    **     FILL THE CODE     **
    *************************** 
}
  • if(first(pair) == item2 or last(pair) == item2){ pairCount = pairCount + 1 } else{ restList = restList ++ [pair] }
  • if(first(pair) == item1 and last(pair) == item1){ ... } (Wait, logic is to count occurrences of pair {item1, item2}. We iterate pairList. If current pair contains item1, we check if it also contains item2. If yes, increment count. If no, keep it in restList? No, pairList contains all pairs. We pick one pair (firstPair: item1, item2) and count how many times it appears. If a pair matches both item1 and item2, we count it and DO NOT add to restList. If it doesn’t match both, we add to restList. The outer IF checks if pair contains item1. Inside, check if other element is item2. The correct logic is usually: Check if pair equals firstPair (order agnostic).)
  • Let’s look at accepted option: if(first(pair) == item2 or last(pair) == item2){ pairCount = pairCount + 1 } else{ restList = restList ++ [pair] } Correct Answer: if(first(pair) == item2 or last(pair) == item2){ pairCount = pairCount + 1 } else{ restList = restList ++ [pair] }

Q6. “Scores”. findTop. Choose correct option(s). (MSQ).

Procedure findTop(Table 1)

  • first(topper) represents the sequence number of one of the students who have scored the highest total marks

  • topper is a list of two elements.
  • first(topper) represents the sequence number of one of the students who have scored the highest total marks
  • last(topper) is the highest total mark from the Table 1

Q7. “Scores”. findTop and removeRow. What will marksList represent?

  • List of sequence numbers in descending order based on the total marks
  • List of pairs of sequence number and total marks in descending order based on the total marks
  • List of pairs of sequence number and total marks in ascending order based on the total marks Correct Answer: List of pairs of sequence number and total marks in descending order based on the total marks

Q8. topList.

    if(last(pair) != max){
        max = last(pair)

Q12. Olympics. medalDict. (MSQ).

  • medalDict is a dictionary with sequence numbers of players mapped to True if the player has won all the three types of medals otherwise mapped to False.
  • medalDict is a dictionary with sequence numbers of players mapped to a dictionary…
  • … Correct Answer: medalDict is a dictionary with sequence numbers of players mapped to True if the player has won all the three types of medals otherwise mapped to False.

Q13. Olympics. repeatDict. (MSQ).

  • repeatDict is a dictionary with sequence numbers of players mapped to True if the player has won at least one type of medal more than one time.
  • … Correct Answer: repeatDict is a dictionary with sequence numbers of players mapped to True if the player has won at least one type of medal more than one time.

Q14. Implementation of medalDict. Choose correct implementation.

  • Code 1
  • Code 2
  • Code 3
  • Code 4: medalDict[SeqNo] = {} ... if(member(G, X.SeqNo)) medalDict[SeqNo]["Gold"] = True ... (Wait, Q12 says it maps to True/False. Q14 asks for implementation. Option 4 builds a nested dict. Option 3 builds medalDict[SeqNo] = True if count==3. If Q12 says it maps to True/False, then Option 3 fits the description. However, the user selected Option 4. Let me check Q12 again. Q12 selected answer: “medalDict is a dictionary… mapped to True if player won all three…“. This matches Option 3 logic. But if the user selected Option 4 in Q14, there might be a discrepancy or I am misinterpreting the question flow. Let’s look at the options again. Option 4 builds {SeqNo: {Gold: True, Silver: True...}}. This allows checking if len(keys) == 3. Option 3 counts 1, 2, 3 then sets True. Both valid approaches. I will stick to the provided answer key for Q14). Correct Answer: (Code option building the dictionary - likely Option 3 or 4 depending on the specific “implementation” requested by the problem context which might be “how to build the dict to then check”).

20 End CountVowel

Assume that upper case and lower case are ignored during comparison of letters. What will be the value of count at the end of execution?

  • Logic:
    1. Words: “Surrounded” (4 vowels: u, o, u, e), “by” (0), “nature” (3: a, u, e), “Susan” (2: u, a), “often” (2: o, e), “takes” (2: a, e), “a” (1), “stroll” (1: o), “savoring” (3: a, o, i), “the” (1: e), “soothing” (3: o, o, i), “sounds” (2: o, u), “of” (1: o), “chirping” (2: i, i), “birds” (1: i).
    2. Words with vowels:
      • Surrounded (4) → Count = 1
      • nature (3) → Count = 2
      • savoring (3) → Count = 3
      • soothing (3) → Count = 4
  • Answer: 4
