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. This statement exits a function. The remaining lines of the function are not executed.
%d
return

and

2. modulus AND assignment operator
%=
%d
()

3. Holds the value of something - e.g. oh_hi = 4 where oh_hi is the variable.
file.seek()
n
else
Variables

4. floor division AND assignment operator

#

20. returns the length of a string (number of characters)

28. Modulus operator. It's the remainder after division
input()
%
del
and

29. 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
file.readline()
<
>>

30. This keyword begins the simplest form of a conditional statement.
str

for
%
file.write(stuff)
**=

36. Less than or equal to symbol
a//b
<=
file.readline()
class

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

38. A statement that displays a value on the screen.
round()
def
and
print

39. Empties the file - watch out if you care about the file.
write
assignment
readline
*truncate

40. This keyword begins a header for a body that repeats until the condition is no longer true.
