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.

n
&
else

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

|
~
-

5. Symbol used to create comments
=
#
Variables
insert()

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

=
**=
print

7. empties the file
-
math.sqrt(a)
file.truncate()
elif (Else if)

8. 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).

print
%r

11. Prevents a runtime error from stopping the program.

==
//=
close

24. Adds something to a variable
=

truncate

27. deletes an item from a list
int
del
is
n

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

31. Function to write something to a file
input()
+=
write
open()

32. unction to read one line of a file
Variables
<=
readline
>=

33. A logical operator which requires two expressions to both be true.
del
and
*
>

34. sets the file's current position
/=
file.seek()
file.readline()
len()

35. A logical operator which negates an expression so that it returns a value of True if the expression is false.
not
+
int()
file.seek()

36. A boolean operator that takes two strings and returns True if the first appears as a substring in the second.
in
del
|
/=

37. The extension for Python scripts
in
floating point number
in
.py

38. This keyword begins the simplest form of a conditional statement.
append()

if
and

39. This variable holds the arguments you pass to your Python script when you run it. Then you unpack it in your script so you have variables you can work with.
