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.

int()
+
*
read

2. Function to empty the contents of a file - no recovery is possible

:
%d
del
%

4. rounds a number to the number of decimal points you choose
>=
append()
round()

5. A keyword that does nothing but fill space to indicate code which will be written later.
readline
pass
is not
len()

6. An operator to check whether two variables refer to the same object.
int
is
round()
else

7. exponentiation
or
>=
+=
a**b

8. adds an item to a list
append()
raise
return
int()

9. Function to read the contents of a file
readline
argv
readline
read

10. Reads just one line of a text file.
#
abs(a)
*readline
assignment

11. Modulus operator. It's the remainder after division
<<
%s
and
%

12. Less than symbol
readline
*read
^
<

13. single line comment
<=
#
for
raise

14. Function to write something to a file
-
del

*write(stuff)
if
while
Variables

21. A logical operator which compares two operands and produces True if they are equal and False otherwise
==
a%b
return
//=

22. The keyword beginning a header that will create a new function.

argv
file.truncate()

24. A statement that displays a value on the screen.
class
%=
print
print()

25. Less than symbol
+=
<
input()
pass

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

27. Where the parameters go. A necessary punctuation after any function even if it's empty.
()
.py
for
Variables

28. A string that begins with the % symbol and contains a sequence of printable characters and format specifiers that determine how values output should look.
>
argv
format string
elif (Else if)

29. This keyword begins a header for a body that repeats until the condition is no longer true.
^
while
or
append()

30. Symbol to divide by the number to the right of the symbol
if
/
a%b
open()

31. Adds something to a variable
del
.py
()
=

32. This keyword in the body of a conditional - gives an alternative execution.
.py
else
int
%d

33. modulus AND assignment operator
%=
:
write
round()

34. subtract AND assignment operator
n
-=
append()
>

35. 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
#
^
if
readline

36. absolute value
input()
close
abs(a)
print

37. Prints a string to the screen which is a signed decimal.
n
%d
%r
int()

38. Evaluates to true if it finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. x in y - here in results in a 1 if x is a member of sequence y.
in
=
.py
del

39. writes stuff to the file
//=
<=
file.write(stuff)
%=

40. sets the file's current position
math.sqrt(a)
file.seek()
.py
float

41. Less than or equal to symbol
<=
int
=
file.truncate()

42. 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
is not
:
str()
<<

43. A built-in function that takes any value and converts it to an integer if possible - or complains otherwise.
input()
int
and
+

44. add AND assignment operator
argument variable
+=
del
truncate

45. multiply AND assignment operator
*=
|
