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.

round()
^
-=
/

2. Function to empty the contents of a file - no recovery is possible
<

&
truncate

3. Reads the contents of the file you can assign the result to a variable.

5. A statement that assigns a value to a variable.
file.truncate()
-
#
assignment

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

append()
not

24. A statement that displays a value on the screen.

in
a//b
|

37. multiply AND assignment operator
|
-
+=
*=

38. asks the user for a response and returns that response
#
==
input()
abs(a)

39. Symbol to divide by the number to the right of the symbol
int
~
len()
/

40. 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
print
argv
<<
*truncate
