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






2. Symbol to multiply things






3. asks the user for a response and returns that response






4. multiply AND assignment operator






5. asks the user for a response and returns that response






6. Create a variable.






7. Adds a new line character






8. subtract AND assignment operator






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






10. rounds a number to the number of decimal points you choose






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






12. Function to read the contents of a file






13. An operator that removes a value from a list.






14. 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).






15. Adds a new line character






16. 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






17. Function to read the contents of a file






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






19. square root






20. Less than or equal to symbol






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






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






23. An operator to check whether two variables refer to the same object.






24. Symbol to add things together






25. Prevents a runtime error from stopping the program.






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






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






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






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






30. prints its parameter to the console






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






32. Greater than or equal symbol.






33. subtract AND assignment operator






34. Command to print to the screen






35. assignment operator






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






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






38. Turns a line into a comment instead of executable code.






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






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






41. Greater than or equal symbol.






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






43. turns an object into a string






44. assignment operator






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






46. Symbol to multiply things






47. exponent AND assignment operator






48. Command to print to the screen






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






50. divide AND assignment operator
