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.

abs(a)
print
a%b
#

32. deletes an item from a list
del
continue
%s
*read

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

str
write
else

*
truncate
~

38. Prints a string to the screen which will be Unicode.
a**b
file.write(stuff)
%s
append()

39. This variable holds the arguments you pass to your Python script when you run it. Then you unpack it in your script so you have variables you can work with.
print()
argument variable
readline
print

40. Less than or equal to symbol
