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.

and

2. A logical operator which compares two operands and produces True if they are equal and False otherwise
%d
%r
==
+=

3. This keyword begins the simplest form of a conditional statement.

if
del

4. exponentiation
/=
for
a**b
*=

5. Adds something to a variable

%=
if
=

6. 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
^
math.sqrt(a)
|
==

7. prints its parameter to the console
~
print()
str()
input()
