Instructions:

Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

in
/
for
truncate

2. Writes stuff to the file.
*write(stuff)
raise
print
print

3. modulus AND assignment operator
except
.py
%=
in

4. inserts an item inside a list at a certain index
readline
()
/=
insert()

5. Prints a string to the screen which will be Unicode.
append()
a**b
%s
//=

6. Binary AND Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands. (a & b) will give 12 which is 0000 1100
<=
%
&
file.truncate()

7. Modulus operator. It's the remainder after division
raise
*read
|
%

8. This statement exits a function. The remaining lines of the function are not executed.
int
insert()
return
file.readline()

9. assignment operator
*
pass
**=
=

10. Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are true then then condition becomes true. (a and b) is true.
>>
round()
and

11. Binary Left Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand. a << 2 will give 240 which is 1111 0000
read
//=
|
<<

12. prints its parameter to the console
+
write
/=
print()

13. turns an object into an integer
=
+
int()
//=

14. floor division
*truncate
open()
*=
a//b

15. empties the file
<
file.truncate()
insert()
#

16. This keyword attempts to do something that would cause the program to crash if it were not for this statement.
insert()
a%b
a**b
try

17. add AND assignment operator
+=
if
:
~

18. Less than or equal to symbol
%s
<=
input()
assignment

19. Binary XOR Operator copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both. (a ^ b) will give 49 which is 0011 0001
-=
*write(stuff)
is not
^

20. Prints a string to the screen which is a signed decimal.
&
argv
input()
%d

21. Empties the file - watch out if you care about the file.
%=
+
*truncate
if

22. End header line.
while
:
is
<

23. The keyword beginning a header that will create a new function.
==
def
abs(a)
del

24. floor division
write
a//b
%=
/

25. divide AND assignment operator
break
/=
*readline
input()

26. Symbol to subtract things from each other
-
<<
*=
elif (Else if)

27. deletes an item from a list
del
is not
math.sqrt(a)
:

28. Function to close a file - it will not be able to be used again unless the file is opened.
>>
assignment
insert()
close

29. Where the parameters go. A necessary punctuation after any function even if it's empty.
or
()
.py
continue

30. A data type for representing numbers with fractional values.
*readline
floating point number
<=
except

31. Greater than or equal symbol.
floating point number
append()
#
>=

32. Binary Right Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand. a >> 2 will give 15 which is 0000 1111
and
#
>
>>

33. A statement that ends the current iteration of a loop but continues looping.
continue
a%b
>
>=

34. Symbol to multiply things
*write(stuff)
:
*
print

35. A statement that breaks out of a loop.
for
<<
%
break

36. Adds a new line character
and
in
int
n

37. modulus AND assignment operator
if
%=
<=
return

38. A built-in function that takes any value and converts it to an integer if possible - or complains otherwise.
round()
=
int
abs(a)

39. Create a variable.
<<
<
=
argv

40. Binary Ones Complement Operator is unary and has the efect of 'flipping' bits. (~a ) will give -60 which is 1100 0011
~
continue
try
%r

41. Function to write something to a file
+=
else
>
write

42. Greater than symbol
:
>
<=
try
