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

2. 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.
in
round()
not in
round()

3. Modulus operator. It's the remainder after division
%
int()
a//b
>

4. modulo
a%b
write
Variables
raise

5. Binary Ones Complement Operator is unary and has the efect of 'flipping' bits. (~a ) will give -60 which is 1100 0011
math.sqrt(a)
file.write(stuff)
#
~

6. End header line.
elif (Else if)
:
a**b
a**b

7. 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).
&
is not
a**b
else

8. 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
==
else
print
^

9. Argument variable
n
and
raise
argv

10. Prints a string to the screen which will be Unicode.
a**b
:
Variables
%s

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

12. turns an object into an integer
&
int()
<
+

13. prints its parameter to the console
*read
print()
%r
=

14. Prints a string to the screen which is a signed decimal.
and
%d
if
%s

15. This statement causes an exception.
%r
*readline
raise
str()

16. exponent AND assignment operator
|
**=
break

17. deletes an item from a list
=
del
.py
//=

18. divide AND assignment operator
()
-
/=
if

19. 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
<<
and
file.truncate()
^

20. subtract AND assignment operator
for
^
*=
-=

21. Symbol to subtract things from each other
argv
-
elif (Else if)
pass

22. Function to empty the contents of a file - no recovery is possible
<
argv
truncate
in

23. End header line.
>
>>
=
:

24. Symbol to multiply things
%d
*
-
a//b

25. Symbol to add things together
-=
not in
+
file.write(stuff)

26. Symbol to divide by the number to the right of the symbol
/
>
%r
-

27. adds an item to a list
append()
%
format string
a//b

28. Evaluates to true if it finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. x in y - here in results in a 1 if x is a member of sequence y.
<
in
>
print

29. Function to read the contents of a file
a%b
%s
file.truncate()
read

30. square root
math.sqrt(a)
def
del
<=

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

Variables

32. Turns a line into a comment instead of executable code.
=
>=
%d
#

33. Function to read the contents of a file
read
//=
in
else

34. modulo
+=
truncate
a%b
*

35. Argument variable
#
file.readline()
try
argv

36. assignment operator
argv
=
%s
<=

37. A statement that assigns a value to a variable.
assignment
<<
<=
a//b

38. Empties the file - watch out if you care about the file.
read
*truncate
and
%

39. Prints a string to the screen which is converted using repr()
-=
Variables
~
%r

40. Symbol to subtract things from each other
^
-
argv

41. A keyword that does nothing but fill space to indicate code which will be written later.
len()
#
pass
argument variable

42. add AND assignment operator

46. A statement that breaks out of a loop.
break
open()
