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 statement that displays a value on the screen.
print
else
a//b
-=

2. The extension for Python scripts
==
int
.py
*read

3. Evaluates to false if the variables on either side of the operator point to the same object and true otherwise. x is not y - here is not results in 1 if id(x) is not equal to id(y).

6. A logical operator which returns a value of True if either of the conditions is true.
math.sqrt(a)
or
round()
<<

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

31. Function to empty the contents of a file - no recovery is possible
str()
format string
truncate
%d

32. turns an object into an integer
int()
del
pass
close

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