Basic Python Programming

Subject : it-skills
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. sets the file's current position






2. Empties the file - watch out if you care about the file.






3. Adds a new line character






4. add AND assignment operator






5. prints its parameter to the console






6. ,multi-line comment hard-code,Fix (data or parameters) in a program in such a way that they cannot easily be altered by the user.






7. The keyword beginning a header that will create a loop.






8. Argument variable






9. This keyword attempts to do something that would cause the program to crash if it were not for this statement.






10. Symbol to multiply things






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






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






13. Command to print to the screen






14. subtract AND assignment operator






15. Reads just one line of a text file.






16. divide AND assignment operator






17. floor division






18. 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).






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






20. Symbol to multiply things






21. Function to open or read a file






22. A statement that ends the current iteration of a loop but continues looping.






23. A built-in function that converts its argument to a string.






24. The extension for Python scripts






25. writes stuff to the file






26. A string that begins with the % symbol and contains a sequence of printable characters and format specifiers that determine how values output should look.






27. square root






28. This keyword in the body of a conditional - gives an alternative execution.






29. floor division AND assignment operator






30. 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






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






32. Function to close a file - it will not be able to be used again unless the file is opened.






33. Function to open or read a file






34. Command to print to the screen






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






36. absolute value






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






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






39. deletes an item from a list






40. modulus AND assignment operator






41. modulus AND assignment operator






42. Adds something to a variable






43. Greater than or equal symbol.






44. subtract AND assignment operator






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






46. absolute value






47. The keyword beginning a header that will create a new function.






48. reads just one line of a text file & keeps track of where in the file you're at






49. Holds the value of something - e.g. oh_hi = 4 where oh_hi is the variable.






50. Create a variable.
