Which one of these is floor division?
- A.
/
- B.
//
- C.
%
- D.
None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
B. //Explanation
The double forward slash (//) is the floor division operator in Python. Floor division returns the largest whole number that is less than or equal to the division of two numbers. It discards the decimal part of the result and only returns the integer value. This is different from the regular division operator (/) which returns a floating-point number. The percent sign (%) is the modulus operator, used to calculate the remainder of a division operation. Therefore, the correct answer is // as it represents floor division.Rate this question:

What is the result of cmp(3, 1)?
- A.
1
- B.
0
- C.
True
- D.
False
Correct Answer
A. 1Explanation
The result of cmp(3, 1) is 1 because cmp() is a built-in function in Python that compares two objects and returns -1 if the first object is less than the second, 0 if they are equal, and 1 if the first object is greater than the second. In this case, 3 is greater than 1, so the result is 1.Rate this question:

What is the output of the following?True = False while True: print(True) break
- A.
True
- B.
False
- C.
None
Correct Answer
C. NoneExplanation
The output of the given code is "None". This is because the code assigns the value of False to the variable True, which is not allowed in Python. However, since the code breaks out of the while loop immediately after the first iteration, the print statement is never executed. Therefore, there is no output and the value of the code is None.Rate this question:

What is the output of the following?x = ['ab', 'cd'] for i in x: i.upper() print(x)
- A.
[‘ab’, ‘cd’].
- B.
[‘AB’, ‘CD’].
- C.
[None, None].
- D.
None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
A. [‘ab’, ‘cd’].Explanation
The output of the code is [‘ab’, ‘cd’] because the code is iterating over each element in the list x and applying the upper() method to each element. However, the upper() method returns a new string with all lowercase characters converted to uppercase, but it does not modify the original string. Therefore, the original list x remains unchanged and the output is still [‘ab’, ‘cd’].Rate this question:

Python programs are executed by:
- A.
Interpreter
- B.
Compiler
- C.
Assembler
Correct Answer
A. InterpreterExplanation
Python programs are executed by an interpreter. An interpreter is a program that reads and executes code line by line. It translates the code into machine language instructions and immediately executes them. This allows for a more interactive and flexible programming experience, as the interpreter can execute code on the go and provide immediate feedback. In contrast, a compiler translates the entire code into machine language instructions before execution, resulting in a standalone executable file. An assembler, on the other hand, is used for low-level programming languages like assembly language.Rate this question:

If there is a ___ error in the program, it will run without generating error messages but it will not give the desired result.
- A.
Semantic error
- B.
Syntax error
- C.
Run-Time error
Correct Answer
A. Semantic errorExplanation
A semantic error is a type of error in programming where the code is syntactically correct but does not produce the desired result. This means that the program will run without any error messages, but the output or behavior of the program will be incorrect. In other words, there is a logical mistake in the code that leads to incorrect execution. Therefore, if there is a semantic error in the program, it will run without generating error messages but will not give the desired result.Rate this question:

Which one of the following is used for indexing in the python program?
- A.
Brackets [ ]
- B.
Parenthesis ( )
- C.
Braces { }
Correct Answer
A. Brackets [ ]Explanation
Brackets [ ] are used for indexing in a Python program. In Python, indexing is used to access individual elements or a range of elements in a sequence like a string, list, or tuple. By using brackets [ ] with an index value inside, we can retrieve the desired element from the sequence. The index value starts from 0 for the first element, and negative indexing can also be used to access elements from the end of the sequence. Therefore, the correct answer is brackets [ ].Rate this question:
