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. The extension for Python scripts






2. Function to empty the contents of a file - no recovery is possible






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






4. deletes an item from a list






5. Less than symbol






6. floor division AND assignment operator






7. Greater than symbol






8. Function to write something to a file






9. Symbol to subtract things from each other






10. exponentiation






11. exponent AND assignment operator






12. Prints a string to the screen which will be Unicode.






13. Function to read the contents of a file






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






15. Prints a string to the screen which is converted using repr()






16. prints its parameter to the console






17. Command to print to the screen






18. This keyword creates a new class object which is a user-defined type - like a factory for creating objects.






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






20. Where the parameters go. A necessary punctuation after any function even if it's empty.






21. subtract AND assignment operator






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






23. Function to write something to a file






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






25. A statement that displays a value on the screen.






26. End header line.






27. Symbol to add things together






28. floor division






29. 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






30. A logical operator which returns a value of True if either of the conditions is true.






31. Prevents a runtime error from stopping the program.






32. exponentiation






33. Writes stuff to the file.






34. This statement exits a function. The remaining lines of the function are not executed.






35. Binary OR Operator copies a bit if it exists in eather operand. (a | b) will give 61 which is 0011 1101






36. Function to open or read a file






37. Symbol to divide by the number to the right of the symbol






38. A logical operator which requires two expressions to both be true.






39. divide AND assignment operator






40. ,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.






41. Less than symbol






42. A logical operator which compares two operands and produces True if they are equal and False otherwise






43. turns an object into a string






44. floor division AND assignment operator






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






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






47. Create a variable.






48. assignment operator






49. Modulus operator. It's the remainder after division






50. inserts an item inside a list at a certain index
