Q1.(8 Marks)
SR No

Language Name

For loop Syntax

1

JAVA

for(int i=1;i<11;i++){             System.out.println(i);
}

2

Python

for x in range(1,11):
print(x)

3

Kotlin

for (i in 1..10) {
println(i)
}

4

Swift

for i in 1...10 {
print(i)
}

Given below is for loop syntax to ‘print 1 to 10 numbers’ in 4 different Programming languages:

You are required to calculate points of each language on the basis of following aspects:

1. Readability
2. Reliability
3. Cost/Programming effort
   You have total 30 points for each language.10 points for each aspect based on your opinion.
   Scale: 1 point lowest and 10 highest
   Q2.(12 Marks):
   Now explain each point according to winning language in each category for example if python has higher points in Readability then explain why this language has higher points in this section as compared to other languages given above. If there is a tie in 2 languages in the same category then explain both.
   Note: Only consider the code of each language which is written above while calculating the points.
