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.
len()
if
format string
write

2. Prints a string to the screen which is a signed decimal.
return
%=
%d
math.sqrt(a)

3. Turns a line into a comment instead of executable code.
print
>=
+=
#

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
^
()
read
math.sqrt(a)

5. turns an object into an integer
int()
str
a%b
-

6. single line comment
close
#
abs(a)
float

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
and
*=
*write(stuff)
>>

8. exponent AND assignment operator
>
**=
math.sqrt(a)
try

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
>>
&
-=
%d

10. asks the user for a response and returns that response
%r
input()
readline
*write(stuff)

11. Argument variable
*
^
argv
%=

12. square root
#
math.sqrt(a)
<
-=

13. Function to read the contents of a file
assignment
int()
read
%s

14. Prints a string to the screen which is converted using repr()
if
**=
for
%r

15. Function to write something to a file
>=
write
+
a%b

16. modulus AND assignment operator
//=
int
return
%=

17. Command to print to the screen
input()
==
Variables
print

18. End header line.
Variables
open()
**=
:

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
:
readline
=
<<

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

21. inserts an item inside a list at a certain index
truncate
insert()
|
del

22. inserts an item inside a list at a certain index
try
insert()
readline
int()

23. rounds a number to the number of decimal points you choose
del
for
round()
truncate

24. Greater than or equal symbol.
class
>=
^
try

25. assignment operator
if
==
=
:

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

27. Reads just one line of a text file.
a//b
*readline
&
try

28. Prints a string to the screen which will be Unicode.
try
%s
format string
*

29. Function to close a file - it will not be able to be used again unless the file is opened.
raise
file.truncate()
close
>

30. floor division AND assignment operator
>>
break
del
//=

31. Writes stuff to the file.
=
*write(stuff)
insert()
//=

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

33. unction to read one line of a file
int()
open()
*=
readline

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

35. asks the user for a response and returns that response
%=
input()
class
str

36. unction to read one line of a file
/
>>
print()
readline

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.
=
not in
**=
>

38. A statement that breaks out of a loop.
#
file.write(stuff)
round()
break

39. This keyword in the body of a conditional - gives an alternative execution.
elif (Else if)
else
return
|

40. modulo
a%b
/
input()
readline

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

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

43. Where the parameters go. A necessary punctuation after any function even if it's empty.
()
while
//=
str

44. Symbol used to create comments
open()
//=
#
//=

45. Adds something to a variable
del
-
=
assignment

46. exponent AND assignment operator
*
*
**=
%r

47. Empties the file - watch out if you care about the file.
a//b
in
read
*truncate

48. floor division
try
a//b
a%b
=

49. Greater than or equal symbol.
argv
Variables
>=
n

50. floor division
==
truncate
a//b
