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. Prints a string to the screen which is a signed decimal.
input()
<<
%d
for

2. Empties the file - watch out if you care about the file.
*write(stuff)
and
%s
*truncate

3. The keyword beginning a header that will create a loop.
.py
>
for
while

4. floor division
~
input()
a//b
*write(stuff)

5. Symbol to divide by the number to the right of the symbol
/
*=
assignment
=

6. A keyword that does nothing but fill space to indicate code which will be written later.
/=
pass
def
%d

7. Greater than or equal symbol.
>=
raise
argument variable
close

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

9. A built-in function that converts integers and strings to floating-point numbers.
#
float
append()
==

10. modulo
assignment
a%b
%d
#

11. exponent AND assignment operator
**=
+
%=
append()

12. subtract AND assignment operator

*
except
/

15. Prints a string to the screen which is converted using repr()
file.write(stuff)
=
<
%r

16. A logical operator which compares two operands and produces True if they are equal and False otherwise
else
==
class
del

17. Evaluates to true if it does not finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. x not in y - here not in results in a 1 if x is a member of sequence y.

insert()
not in
/=

18. add AND assignment operator

else

24. Less than symbol
<
and
close
-

25. assignment operator
#
+
=
a%b

26. 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
if
argument variable
del
^

27. A statement that displays a value on the screen.
<=
except
len()
print

28. Where the parameters go. A necessary punctuation after any function even if it's empty.
()
*write(stuff)
truncate
.py

29. adds an item to a list
append()
*
class
int()

30. Command to print to the screen
*write(stuff)
=
print
<<

31. 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
str
>>
=
float

32. Greater than symbol
<<
readline
%r
>

float
print()
|
~

//=
int()
&
=

45. add AND assignment operator
len()
>>
%=
+=

46. Argument variable
floating point number
pass
argv
**=

47. The keyword beginning a header that will create a new function.
read
del
>>
def

48. Binary Left Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand. a << 2 will give 240 which is 1111 0000
=
^
<<
del
