Subject : it-skills
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. A string that begins with the % symbol and contains a sequence of printable characters and format specifiers that determine how values output should look.






2. Prints a string to the screen which is a signed decimal.






3. Turns a line into a comment instead of executable code.






4. 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






5. turns an object into an integer






6. single line comment






7. 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






8. exponent AND assignment operator






9. Binary AND Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands. (a & b) will give 12 which is 0000 1100






10. asks the user for a response and returns that response






11. Argument variable






12. square root






13. Function to read the contents of a file






14. Prints a string to the screen which is converted using repr()






15. Function to write something to a file






16. modulus AND assignment operator






17. Command to print to the screen






18. End header line.






19. 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






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






21. inserts an item inside a list at a certain index






22. inserts an item inside a list at a certain index






23. rounds a number to the number of decimal points you choose






24. Greater than or equal symbol.






25. assignment operator






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






27. Reads just one line of a text file.






28. Prints a string to the screen which will be Unicode.






29. Function to close a file - it will not be able to be used again unless the file is opened.






30. floor division AND assignment operator






31. Writes stuff to the file.






32. A boolean operator that takes two strings and returns True if the first appears as a substring in the second.






33. unction to read one line of a file






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






35. asks the user for a response and returns that response






36. unction to read one line of a file






37. Evaluates to true if it does not finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. x not in y - here not in results in a 1 if x is a member of sequence y.






38. A statement that breaks out of a loop.






39. This keyword in the body of a conditional - gives an alternative execution.






40. modulo






41. Holds the value of something - e.g. oh_hi = 4 where oh_hi is the variable.






42. An operator to check whether two variables refer to the same object.






43. Where the parameters go. A necessary punctuation after any function even if it's empty.






44. Symbol used to create comments






45. Adds something to a variable






46. exponent AND assignment operator






47. Empties the file - watch out if you care about the file.






48. floor division






49. Greater than or equal symbol.






50. floor division
