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.

<

4. An operator to check whether two variables refer to the same object.
is
in
abs(a)
file.readline()

5. Prints a string to the screen which is converted using repr()

27. exponent AND assignment operator
**=
int()
=
-=

28. Function to read the contents of a file
()
read
Variables
>=

29. A built-in function that takes any value and converts it to an integer if possible - or complains otherwise.
a//b
#
a%b
int

30. Symbol to divide by the number to the right of the symbol
|
/
%r
a%b

31. Symbol to add things together
write
-=
