Basic Python Programming

Subject : it-skills
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. Prints a string to the screen which is converted using repr()






2. turns an object into an integer






3. Prints a string to the screen which will be Unicode.






4. turns an object into an integer






5. A boolean operator that takes two strings and returns True if the first appears as a substring in the second.






6. Symbol to divide by the number to the right of the symbol






7. Symbol to add things together






8. unction to read one line of a file






9. reads just one line of a text file & keeps track of where in the file you're at






10. exponent AND assignment operator






11. Adds a new line character






12. A statement that breaks out of a loop.






13. rounds a number to the number of decimal points you choose






14. Symbol to multiply things






15. Less than symbol






16. Create a variable.






17. 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






18. asks the user for a response and returns that response






19. divide AND assignment operator






20. A statement that assigns a value to a variable.






21. ,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.






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






23. 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.






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






25. The extension for Python scripts






26. Symbol to subtract things from each other






27. add AND assignment operator






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






29. subtract AND assignment operator






30. deletes an item from a list






31. returns the length of a string (number of characters)






32. Greater than or equal symbol.






33. A logical operator which compares two operands and produces True if they are equal and False otherwise






34. assignment operator






35. subtract AND assignment operator






36. asks the user for a response and returns that response






37. A logical operator which requires two expressions to both be true.






38. Prints a string to the screen which is a signed decimal.






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






40. Function to write something to a file






41. single line comment






42. 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






43. Function to close a file - it will not be able to be used again unless the file is opened.






44. Adds something to a variable






45. Modulus operator. It's the remainder after division






46. writes stuff to the file






47. deletes an item from a list






48. inserts an item inside a list at a certain index






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






50. A logical operator which returns a value of True if either of the conditions is true.
