High Order Thinking Questions (HOTS)

Q.1. Write a Python program to find the sum of all elements in an array.

array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

sum_of_elements = sum(array)

print("Sum of elements:", sum_of_elements)

Q.2. Write a Python program to find the maximum and minimum element in an array.

array = [1, 5, 3, 2, 4]

max_element = max(array)

min_element = min(array)

print("Maximum element:", max_element)

print("Minimum element:", min_element)

Q.3. Write a Python program to find the average of elements in an array.

array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

average = sum(array) / len(array)

print("Average:", average)

Q.4. Write a Python program to count the number of occurrences of a specific element in an array.

array = [1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 5]

element = 2

count = array.count(element)

print("Number of occurrences:", count)

Q.5. Write a Python program to reverse an array.

array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Hands-On Questions

Q.1. Write a Python program to create an array of 5 numbers entered by the user and display the sum of all elements.

array = []

for _ in range(5):

    number = int(input("Enter a number: "))

    array.append(number)

sum_of_elements = sum(array)

print("Sum of elements:", sum_of_elements)

Q.2. Write a Python program to create an array of 10 integers entered by the user and find the average of the positive numbers.

array = []

for _ in range(10):

    number = int(input("Enter an integer: "))

    array.append(number)

positive_numbers = [x for x in array if x > 0]

average = sum(positive_numbers) / len(positive_numbers)

print("Average of positive numbers:", average)

Q.3. Write a Python program to copy the elements of one array into another array.

array1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

array2 = array1.copy()

print("Copied array:", array2)

Q.4. Write a Python function that takes an array as a parameter and returns the maximum element in the array.

def find_maximum(array):

    max_element = max(array)

    return max_element

array = [1, 5, 3, 2, 4]

maximum = find_maximum(array)

print("Maximum element:", maximum)

Q.5. Write a Python function that takes a matrix (2D array) as a parameter and returns the sum of all elements in the matrix.

def sum_of_matrix(matrix):

    total = 0

    for row in matrix:

        for element in row:

            total += element

    return total

matrix = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]

sum_matrix = sum_of_matrix(matrix)

print("Sum of matrix elements:", sum_matrix)
