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. 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
abs(a)
%s
/
>>

2. Function to open or read a file
open()
round()
|
//=

3. Symbol to add things together
-
+
continue
<<

4. This keyword in the body of a conditional allows chained conditionals.
:
raise
elif (Else if)
else

5. turns an object into a string
a%b
-=
int()
str()

6. Less than symbol
if
def
<
math.sqrt(a)

7. A built-in function that takes any value and converts it to an integer if possible - or complains otherwise.
print
#
floating point number
int

8. deletes an item from a list
del
or
float
else

9. 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
^
def
/=
not

10. 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

<<
truncate
read

11. turns an object into a string
%=
continue
/=
str()

read
else
-

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

abs(a)
continue
=

*
-
str()

for
^
//=

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

//=
#
argument variable

18. A built-in function that converts integers and strings to floating-point numbers.

~
*write(stuff)
()

20. square root
math.sqrt(a)
/
else
open()

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

22. 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.
*=
not in
#
truncate

23. empties the file
<<
print
*truncate
file.truncate()

24. This keyword begins the simplest form of a conditional statement.
%=
==
%d
if

25. A logical operator which negates an expression so that it returns a value of True if the expression is false.
not
%=
>=
/=

26. An operator that removes a value from a list.
=
del
file.readline()
=

27. Function to write something to a file
else

del
#
except
del

31. sets the file's current position
open()
file.seek()
abs(a)
*write(stuff)

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

int()
in
n
else

35. floor division

class
/
argv
<

in
not
print()
