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.

1. The keyword beginning a header that will create a new function.
.py
def
readline
%s

2. Less than symbol
<
int
+
in

3. Binary OR Operator copies a bit if it exists in eather operand. (a | b) will give 61 which is 0011 1101
append()
return
-=
|

4. Symbol to subtract things from each other
-
input()
>
*

5. Binary Ones Complement Operator is unary and has the efect of 'flipping' bits. (~a ) will give -60 which is 1100 0011
<<
%s
*
~

6. The extension for Python scripts
.py
-=
in
str()

7. writes stuff to the file
>
n

open()

8. square root
=
<=
print
math.sqrt(a)

9. Argument variable
argv
and
truncate
int

10. single line comment
len()
readline
#
%s

11. Symbol used to create comments
>
Variables
#
.py

12. A keyword that does nothing but fill space to indicate code which will be written later.

argument variable
#
del
<

not
+
*read
del

29. Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are true then then condition becomes true. (a and b) is true.
abs(a)
elif (Else if)
print()
and

30. Greater than symbol

print
not
<=

31. Create a variable.
write
+
=
:

32. Prints a string to the screen which will be Unicode.
str()
%s
in
*read

33. reads just one line of a text file & keeps track of where in the file you're at
<<
math.sqrt(a)
else
file.readline()

34. asks the user for a response and returns that response
&
