- A.
Int
- B.
Float
- C.
Double
- D.
Str
Correct Answer
C. DoubleExplanation
In Python, "double" is not a valid data type. Python does not have a separate data type for double precision floating-point numbers like some other programming languages. Instead, Python has a single floating-point data type called "float" which can represent both single and double precision numbers.Rate this question:

Complete the code to print the following numbers:13579for i in range(1, 10, __): print i
Correct Answer
2Explanation
The code is using a for loop with a range starting from 1 and ending at 10, with a step size of 2. This means that it will iterate over the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The code then prints each of these numbers on a new line.Rate this question:

Complete the code to print the following patterns: 1 1 1 1 12 2 2 2 23 3 3 3 34 4 4 4 45 5 5 5 5 for i in range(1, 6, 1): print ____ * 5
Correct Answer
str(i)Explanation
The correct answer is "str(i)" because the code is using a for loop to iterate over the range from 1 to 6 (exclusive) with a step of 1. Inside the loop, it is printing the string representation of the current value of 'i' multiplied by 5. Since 'i' is an integer, it needs to be converted to a string using the str() function before multiplying it by 5. This will result in the desired pattern of repeating numbers.Rate this question:

Fill in the blank to produce the following output:[11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88]print range(11, 90, __ )
Correct Answer
11Explanation
The correct answer is 11 because the given code is using the range function to generate a sequence of numbers starting from 11 and ending at 90 (exclusive) with a step size of 11. This means that the sequence will include 11 and every subsequent number that is a multiple of 11 until it reaches or exceeds 90. Therefore, the output will be [11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88].Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT a valid call to the function funA?def funA(a, b): print a + int(b)
- A.
FunA(3, 4.0)
- B.
FunA(3, "4.0")
- C.
FunA("3", 4.0)
- D.
FunA("3", "4.0")
Correct Answer
C. FunA("3", 4.0)Explanation
The function funA takes two arguments, a and b, and prints the sum of a and the integer value of b. In the given options, all the calls to funA are valid except for funA("3", 4.0). This is because the function tries to convert the string "3" to an integer, which is not possible. The function can only convert strings that represent valid integers to integers.Rate this question:

What is the value of a?a = 1 == 1 and not 1 != 1a = _____
Correct Answer
TrueExplanation
The value of "a" in the given expression is "True". This is because the expression "1 == 1" evaluates to True, indicating that the statement "1 is equal to 1" is true. Since the "and" operator is used, the second part of the expression "not 1 != 1" is also evaluated. The expression "1 != 1" evaluates to False, indicating that the statement "1 is not equal to 1" is false. The "not" operator negates this result, making it True. Therefore, the overall expression "1 == 1 and not 1 != 1" evaluates to True.Rate this question:

What is the value of x?x= 0for i in range(2, 20, 3): if i %2 == 0: x += 1print x
- A.
2
- B.
3
- C.
4
- D.
5
Correct Answer
B. 3Explanation
The given code initializes the variable x to 0. Then, it enters a for loop that iterates over the range from 2 to 20 with a step size of 3. Inside the loop, it checks if the current value of i is divisible by 2. If it is, it increments the value of x by 1. After the loop ends, the value of x is printed. In this case, the loop runs 6 times with the values of i being 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, and 17. Out of these, only 2 and 14 are divisible by 2, so the value of x is incremented twice. Therefore, the final value of x is 2+1=3.Rate this question:

Study the code given below:import randomx = random.randint(1,6)y = random.randint(1,6)z = random.randint(1,6)a = x + y + zWhat is the possible range of values for a?
- A.
1 to 6
- B.
1 to 12
- C.
1 to 18
- D.
3 to 18
Correct Answer
D. 3 to 18Explanation
The possible range of values for 'a' can be determined by considering the minimum and maximum values that can be generated for 'x', 'y', and 'z'. Since each of these variables is assigned a random integer between 1 and 6, the minimum value for 'a' would be 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, and the maximum value would be 6 + 6 + 6 = 18. Therefore, the possible range of values for 'a' is 3 to 18.Rate this question:

What is the value of x after executing the code shown below?i = 0x = 0while i < 10: if i % 2 == 0: x += 1 i += 1x = _____.
Correct Answer
5Explanation
The code initializes two variables, i and x, to 0. It then enters a while loop that will continue as long as i is less than 10. Inside the loop, it checks if i is divisible by 2 (i.e., if i is even). If i is even, it increments x by 1. Finally, it increments i by 1. Since the loop will run 5 times (when i is 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8), x will be incremented 5 times, resulting in a final value of 5.Rate this question:

- D.
Laptop = Laptop(2000) laptop.change_color(self, 'white')
Correct Answer
C. Laptop = Laptop(2000) laptop.change_color('white')Explanation
The correct answer is "laptop = Laptop(2000)\nlaptop.change_color('white')". This is because it first creates an instance of the Laptop class with a capacity of 2000. Then, it calls the change_color method on the laptop instance and passes 'white' as the new_color argument. This correctly changes the color of the laptop to white.Rate this question:

- A.
2
- B.
4
- C.
6
- D.
8
Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
The given code creates a list called "a_list" with numbers from 2 to 10 (excluding 10) with a step size of 2. Then, the code slices the list from index 1 to the second-to-last index, which removes the first and last elements from the list. Therefore, the resulting "a_list" will contain the numbers 4, 6, and 8. The number 2 is not contained in "a_list".Rate this question:

- B.
A_list += 10
- C.
A_list.append(10)
- D.
A_list.add(10)
Correct Answer
C. A_list.append(10)Explanation
The line of code "a_list.append(10)" will add a new element 10 to the end of the list. The append() function is used to add an element to the end of a list. In this case, it will add the element 10 to the list "a_list", resulting in the list [2, 4, 6, 8, 10].Rate this question:

Study the code below.x = 1y = 3In Python, x/y returns you 0, which is wrong. Which of the solutions below will fix this.
- A.
Use float(x/y) instead.
- B.
Use float(x)/y instead.
- C.
Use x.0 / y.0 instead.
- D.
Use x // y instead.
Correct Answer
B. Use float(x)/y instead.Explanation
The code is performing integer division, which returns only the whole number quotient and discards the decimal part. To fix this and get the correct result, we need to convert either x or y (or both) to float before performing the division. Using float(x)/y will ensure that the division is performed as floating-point division, giving the correct result with the decimal part included.Rate this question:

My_list2 = range(1,13,1)
- E.
My_list_2 = range(1,13,2)
Correct Answer
E. My_list_2 = range(1,13,2)Explanation
The correct answer is "my_list_2 = range(1,13,2)". This is because the range function generates a sequence of numbers starting from the first parameter (1), up to but not including the second parameter (13), incrementing by the third parameter (2). Therefore, this code will produce a sequence of numbers similar to the contents of my_list, which is [1,3,5,7,9,11].Rate this question:

What is wrong with the function below?def square(x): x = x**2 return x print "The value of x has been squared"squared_value = square(10)print squared_value
- A.
**2 is not a valid syntax.
- B.
We should use print x instead of return x
- C.
We should put the return x at the last line of code in the function square because any code within the function after return will not get executed.
- D.
We should not be modifying x which is the argument passed into the function.
Correct Answer
C. We should put the return x at the last line of code in the function square because any code within the function after return will not get executed.Explanation
The function is currently returning the squared value of x, but the print statement that follows the return statement will never be executed. This is because once a return statement is encountered, the function immediately exits and returns the value. Therefore, any code after the return statement will not be executed. To fix this, the return statement should be moved to the last line of the function, so that the squared value is returned and then printed outside of the function.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. My_list.pop(5) my_list.remove(19) my_list.remove(55) my_list.remove(55)Explanation
The code sequence my_list.pop(5), my_list.remove(19), my_list.remove(55), my_list.remove(55) will produce a new list which contains [1,10,30,99]. The pop(5) function will remove the element at index 5 from the list, which is 30. Then, the remove(19) function will remove the element 19 from the list, followed by removing the two occurrences of 55 using remove(55) function. Finally, the remove(55) function will remove the second occurrence of 55 from the list. This will result in a new list with the desired elements.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
8Explanation
The code is a series of nested function calls. First, the function funC(1) is called, which returns 1 + 3 = 4. Then, the result of funC(1), which is 4, is passed as an argument to funB. funB(4) returns 4 * 2 = 8. Finally, the result of funB(4), which is 8, is passed as an argument to funA. funA(8) simply returns the value passed to it, which is 8. Therefore, the value of x after executing the code is 8.Rate this question:
