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.

2. subtract AND assignment operator
()
^
-=
in

3. turns an object into a string
is
str()

4. Binary AND Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands. (a & b) will give 12 which is 0000 1100
%=
format string
:
&

5. Less than or equal to symbol
%d
<=
try
a%b

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

read
=

9. A logical operator which negates an expression so that it returns a value of True if the expression is false.
is
=
not

>=
**=
*readline
^

11. Function to read the contents of a file
%s
()
%d
read

12. Reads the contents of the file you can assign the result to a variable.

math.sqrt(a)

15. Argument variable
argv
n
close
%

16. assignment operator

try

28. Symbol to multiply things
*
argument variable
def

29. 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).
/
%=
def
is not

30. 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
()
del
<<
file.readline()

31. add AND assignment operator
=
+=
-=
and

32. The extension for Python scripts
