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. modulo
a%b
()
readline
int()

2. asks the user for a response and returns that response
def
else
input()
int()

3. A built-in function that converts integers and strings to floating-point numbers.
<<
#
float
~

4. adds an item to a list
Variables
append()
if
round()

5. Reads just one line of a text file.
print
*readline
raise
.py

6. 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.
print
class
not in
%=

7. Function to write something to a file
%d
str
write
+=

8. Turns a line into a comment instead of executable code.
<<
is not
int()
#

9. Holds the value of something - e.g. oh_hi = 4 where oh_hi is the variable.
is
//=
.py
Variables

10. exponentiation
a**b
()
print
:

11. Symbol used to create comments
+=
*readline
=
#

12. modulo
print
#
=

13. 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
floating point number
readline
^
()

14. Less than symbol
round()
int()
<
del

15. Prints a string to the screen which will be Unicode.
del
%s
len()
>>

16. End header line.
:
input()
*
<

17. Prints a string to the screen which is converted using repr()
truncate
is not
%r
try

18. modulus AND assignment operator
except
^
%=
%s

19. 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
file.seek()
=
len()

20. 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.
elif (Else if)
<<
try
in

21. add AND assignment operator
+=
>
append()
and

22. Function to write something to a file
for
else
write
return

23. empties the file
class
file.truncate()
^
open()

24. 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
>=
del
^
=

25. returns the length of a string (number of characters)
len()
is not
>
==

26. The extension for Python scripts
%s
.py
n
readline

27. Function to read the contents of a file
n
abs(a)
argv
read

28. floor division AND assignment operator
//=
**=
int()
int()

29. deletes an item from a list
continue
int
argv
del

30. floor division
argument variable
math.sqrt(a)
a//b
*=

31. Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are true then then condition becomes true. (a and b) is true.
>
argument variable
*readline
and

32. This statement causes an exception.
raise
^
is not
%d

33. asks the user for a response and returns that response
a**b
truncate
else
input()

34. Binary Ones Complement Operator is unary and has the efect of 'flipping' bits. (~a ) will give -60 which is 1100 0011
is
Variables
or
~

35. Greater than symbol
math.sqrt(a)
>
a%b
*readline

36. multiply AND assignment operator
*=
>>
continue
%r

37. ,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.
input()
round()
and

38. This keyword in the body of a conditional allows chained conditionals.
elif (Else if)
input()
return
-

39. Function to empty the contents of a file - no recovery is possible
truncate
<
insert()
math.sqrt(a)

40. subtract AND assignment operator
while
is
-=
argv

41. The extension for Python scripts
.py
-
in
//=

42. Prints a string to the screen which is a signed decimal.
==
*
a//b
%d

43. Greater than or equal symbol.
#
>=
del
is

44. A keyword that does nothing but fill space to indicate code which will be written later.
pass
int
break
open()

45. Where the parameters go. A necessary punctuation after any function even if it's empty.
%r
def
()
>>

46. Binary AND Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands. (a & b) will give 12 which is 0000 1100
&
/=
is not
>>

47. Prevents a runtime error from stopping the program.
while
class
=
except

48. Where the parameters go. A necessary punctuation after any function even if it's empty.
a**b
+
*=
()

49. Adds a new line character
print()
for
n
&

50. This keyword attempts to do something that would cause the program to crash if it were not for this statement.
