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. sets the file's current position
>
int()
file.seek()
~

2. Empties the file - watch out if you care about the file.
file.write(stuff)
len()
*truncate
insert()

3. Adds a new line character
>>
write
//=
n

4. add AND assignment operator
+=
#
print
*=

5. prints its parameter to the console
#
print()
for
file.readline()

6. ,multi-line comment hard-code,Fix (data or parameters) in a program in such a way that they cannot easily be altered by the user.
or
*
()

7. The keyword beginning a header that will create a loop.
%s
for
%=
//=

8. Argument variable
argv
len()
argument variable
not in

9. This keyword attempts to do something that would cause the program to crash if it were not for this statement.
try
else
<=
<

10. Symbol to multiply things
*
*=
**=
write

11. returns the length of a string (number of characters)
-
<=
def
len()

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

&
Variables
insert()

13. Command to print to the screen
int
**=
for

elif (Else if)
>=
/

16. divide AND assignment operator
/=
readline
%s
del

17. floor division
*read
**=
>>
a//b

18. 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
str()
del

19. This keyword begins a header for a body that repeats until the condition is no longer true.
-
<<
write
while

20. Symbol to multiply things
*
argv

a%b
open()
if
>=

22. A statement that ends the current iteration of a loop but continues looping.
insert()
continue
write
<<

23. A built-in function that converts its argument to a string.

#
.py
and

25. writes stuff to the file
~
print
file.write(stuff)
len()

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

27. square root
int()
math.sqrt(a)
file.truncate()
str()

28. This keyword in the body of a conditional - gives an alternative execution.
abs(a)
pass
insert()
else

29. floor division AND assignment operator
int
math.sqrt(a)
//=
format string

30. 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
input()
>>
*write(stuff)
-=

31. Prints a string to the screen which is a signed decimal.
del
insert()

close
read

33. Function to open or read a file
open()
>
except
<=

34. Command to print to the screen
/=

~
<=
read
format string

46. absolute value
break
a%b
int()
abs(a)

47. The keyword beginning a header that will create a new function.
