a) abef
b) 12
c) error
d) none of the mentioned
Explanation: The first substring is not present in the given string and hence nothing is replaced.

b) abcefd
c) ab1efd
d) ab12ed2
Explanation: The first substring is not present in the given string and hence nothing is replaced.
6. What will be the output of the following Python code snippet?

a) xyyxyyxyxyxxy
b) 12y12y1212x12
c) 12yxyyxyxyxxy
d) xyyxyyxyxyx12

a) [‘ab’, ‘ef’, ‘gh’]
b) [‘ab’, ‘ef’, ‘gh’, ”]
c) (‘ab’, ‘ef’, ‘gh’)
d) (‘ab’, ‘ef’, ‘gh’, ”)
Explanation: The given string is split and a list of substrings is returned..
9. What will be the output of the following Python code snippet?
print('abcdefcdghcd'.split('cd', 0))
a) [‘abcdefcdghcd’]
b) abcdefcdghcd’
c) Error
d) none of the mentioned

10. What will be the output of the following Python code snippet?
print('abcdefcdghcd'.split('cd', -1))
a) [‘ab’, ‘ef’, ‘gh’]
b) [‘ab’, ‘ef’, ‘gh’, ”]
c) (‘ab’, ‘ef’, ‘gh’)
d) (‘ab’, ‘ef’, ‘gh’, ”)
Explanation: Calling the function with a negative value for maxsplit is the same as calling it without any maxsplit specified. The string will be split into as many substring s as possible.
