+\begin{itemize}
+\item What is meant by parsing data?
+\item String operations required for parsing
+\item Converting between data-types.
+\end{itemize}

+\frametitle{Question 1}
+\label{sec-2}
+
+  Split the variable line using a space as argument. Is it same as
+  splitting without an argument ?
 \end{frame}
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Solution 1}
+\label{sec-3}
 
+  We see that when we split on space, multiple whitespaces are not
+  clubbed as one and there is an empty string everytime there are two
+  consecutive spaces.
+\end{frame}
+\begin{frame}
+\frametitle{Question 2}
+\label{sec-4}
+
+  What happens to the white space inside the sentence when it is
+  stripped?

+
+  It raises an error since converting a float string into integer
+  directly is not possible. It involves an intermediate step of
+  converting to float.
