1. 99
2. 100

4. 6

Question 1

What do we do to a Python statement that is immediately after an if statement to indicate that the statement is to be executed only when
the if statement is true?
Underline all of the conditional code
Indent the line below the if statement
Start the statement with a "#" character
Begin the statement with a curly brace {
Question 2
Which of these operators is not a comparison / logical operator?

>=
>
!=
==
=
Question 3
What is true about the following code segment:

if x == 5 :
print 'Is 5'
print 'Is Still 5'
print 'Third 5'
Depending on the value of x, either all three of the print statements will execute or none of the statements will execute
The string 'Is 5' will always print out regardless of the value for x.
The string 'Is 5' will never print out regardless of the value for x.
Only two of the three print statements will print out if the value of x is less than zero.
Question 4
When you have multiple lines in an if block, how do you indicate the end of the if block?
You capitalize the first letter of the line following the end of the if block
You omit the semicolon ; on the last line of the if block
You de-indent the next line past the if block to the same level of indent as the original if statement
You use a curly brace { after the last line of the if block
Question 5
You look at the following text:
if x == 6 :
print 'Is 6'
print 'Is Still 6'
print 'Third 6'
It looks perfect but Python is giving you an 'Indentation Error' on the second print statement. What is the most likely reason?
Python has reached its limit on the largest Python program that can be run
In order to make humans feel inadequate, Python randomly emits 'Indentation Errors' on perfectly good code - after about an hour the error will just
go away without any changes to your program
You have mixed tabs and spaces in the file
Python thinks 'Still' is a mis-spelled word in the string
Question 6
What is the Python reserved word that we use in two-way if tests to indicate the block of code that is to be executed if the logical test is false?
else
toggle
A closing curly brace followed by an open curly brace like this }{

iterate
Question 7
What will the following code print out?

x=0
if x < 2 :
print 'Small'
elif x < 10 :
print 'Medium'
else :
print 'LARGE'
print 'All done'
Small
Medium
LARGE
All done
Medium
All done
LARGE
All done
Small
All done
Question 8
For the following code,

if x < 2 :
print 'Below 2'
elif x >= 2 :
print 'Two or more'
else :
print 'Something else'
What value of 'x' will cause 'Something else' to print out?
x = -22
This code will never print 'Something else' regardless of the value for 'x'
x = 2.0
x=2
Question 9
'In the following code (numbers added) - which will be the last line to execute successfully?
(1) astr = 'Hello Bob'
(2) istr = int(astr)
(3) print 'First', istr
(4) astr = '123'
(5) istr = int(astr)
(6) print 'Second', istr

5
Question 10
For the following code:

astr = 'Hello Bob'
istr = 0
try:
istr = int(astr)
except:
istr = -1
What will the value for istr after this code executes?
false
It will be a random number depending on the operating system the program runs on
The istr variable will not have a value
-1
Question 1
Which Python keyword indicates the start of a function definition?
continue
return
sweet
def
Question 2
In Python, how do you indicate the end of the block of code that makes up the function?
You add a line that has at least 10 dashes
You put the "END" keyword in column 7 of the line which is to be the last line of the function
You put the colon character (:) in the first column of a line
You de-indent a line of code to the same indent level as the def keyword
Question 3
In Python what is the raw_input() feature best described as?
The central processing unit
A way to retrieve web pages over the network
A user-defined function
A built-in function
Question 4
What does the following code print out?

print greet('fr'),'Michael'
Bonjour Michael
Hola Michael
def
Hola
Bonjour
Hello
Michael
Hola
Bonjour
Hello
Question 9
What does the following Python code print out? (Note that this is a bit of a trick question and the code has what many would consider to be a flaw/bug so read carefully).
def addtwo(a, b):
added = a + b
return a
x = addtwo(2, 7)
print x
Traceback
9
2
14
Question 10
What is the most important benefit of writing your own functions?

Following the rule that whenever a program is more than 10 lines you must use a function
To avoid having more than 10 lines of sequential code without an indent or de-indent
Avoiding writing the same non-trivial code more than once in your program
Following the rule that no function can have more than 10 statements in it
