Sample Tamil Nadu HSE Second Year Computer Science Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Tamil Nadu HSE Second Year Computer Science exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In Python, which built-in function returns the data type of an object?

A.typeof()

B.type()

C.datatype()

D.classof()

Explanation: type(obj) returns the type object for obj (for example, type(3) is int). It is the standard way to inspect a value’s type in Python.

2Which of the following is a valid Python variable name?

A.2marks

B.class

C.total_marks

D.total-marks

Explanation: Identifiers may contain letters, digits, and underscores but cannot start with a digit. total_marks is valid; class is a keyword; hyphens are operators, not name characters.

3What is the output of the following code? print(7 // 2) print(7 / 2)

A.3 and 3.5

B.3.5 and 3.5

C.3 and 3

D.4 and 3.5

Explanation: // performs floor division of integers, so 7//2 is 3. / always performs true division, so 7/2 is 3.5.

4Which operator is used for exponentiation (power) in Python?

A.^

B.**

C.pow

D.^^

Explanation: The ** operator raises a number to a power (for example, 2**3 is 8). The built-in pow() function also exists but is not the operator symbol.

5What is the output of: x = 5 y = 2 print(x % y, x // y)

A.1 2

B.2 2

C.1 2.5

D.0 2

Explanation: 5 % 2 is the remainder 1. 5 // 2 is floor division 2. Printed with a space: 1 2.

6Which statement correctly creates a multi-line string in Python?

A.s = 'Hello\nWorld' only — triple quotes are illegal

B.s = '''Hello World'''

C.s = multiline('Hello','World')

D.s = "Hello" + line + "World"

Explanation: Triple-quoted strings ('''...''' or """...""") may span multiple lines and preserve newlines. Escape sequences like \n also work in ordinary strings.

7What does the following print? s = "COMPUTER" print(s[0], s[-1])

A.C R

B.C T

C.O R

D.C E

Explanation: Indexing is 0-based from the left: s[0] is 'C'. Negative indices count from the end: s[-1] is the last character 'R'.

8What is the output of: print(len("Tamil Nadu"))

A.9

B.10

C.11

D.8

Explanation: len counts characters including the space: T-a-m-i-l- -N-a-d-u → 10.

9Which loop is guaranteed to execute its body at least once in standard Python?

A.for loop only

B.while loop only

C.Neither for nor while is do-while; both may execute zero times

D.range loop only

Explanation: Python has for and while, both of which test before the body (for over empty sequences runs zero times; while with false condition runs zero times). There is no do-while built-in.

10What is printed? for i in range(3): print(i, end='-')

A.1-2-3-

B.0-1-2-

C.0-1-2

D.1-2-3

Explanation: range(3) yields 0, 1, 2. end='-' places a hyphen after each print, including after the last number: 0-1-2-.
