Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    In Python, strings are…

    • A.

      Str objects

    • B.

      Char arrays

    • C.

      Changeable

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    A. Str objects
    Explanation
    In Python, strings are represented as str objects. This means that strings in Python are treated as a specific type of object with its own set of methods and properties. The str object allows for various operations and manipulations on strings, such as concatenation, slicing, and formatting. This is different from char arrays, which are used in some other programming languages to represent strings as arrays of individual characters. Additionally, strings in Python are immutable, meaning they cannot be changed once they are created.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    The minsplit parameter to split() specifies the minimum number of splits to make to the input string.

    • A.

      False

    • B.

      True

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The minsplit parameter to split() does not specify the minimum number of splits to make to the input string. Instead, it specifies the maximum number of splits to make. By default, split() will make as many splits as possible.

  • 3. 

    Python strings have a property called “immutability." What does this mean?

    • A.

      You can update a string in Python with concatenation.

    • B.

      Strings in Python can be represented as arrays of char.

    • C.

      Strings can’t be divided by numbers.

    • D.

      Strings in Python can’t be changed.

    Correct Answer
    D. Strings in Python can’t be changed.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that strings in Python can't be changed. This means that once a string is created, its value cannot be modified. Any operation that appears to modify a string actually creates a new string with the desired modifications. This property of immutability ensures that strings are safe to use in various operations without worrying about unintended changes.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    If you want to transform a list of strings input_list into a single string with a comma between each item, which of the following would you give as the input to join()?

    • A.

      ','

    • B.

      Input_list

    • C.

      Str

    • D.

      String

    Correct Answer
    B. Input_list
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "input_list" because the join() method is used to concatenate elements of a list into a single string, with the specified separator (in this case, a comma). Therefore, the input_list is the list of strings that we want to join together with commas between each item.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following mathematical operators can be used to concatenate strings:

    • A.

      /

    • B.

      *

    • C.

      -

    • D.

      =

    Correct Answer
    B. *
    Explanation
    The mathematical operator "*" can be used to concatenate strings. In programming languages, such as Python, the "*" operator is used to repeat a string a certain number of times or to concatenate multiple copies of a string together. For example, in Python, "hello" * 3 would result in "hellohellohello", which is the concatenation of three copies of the string "hello". Therefore, the "*" operator is used for string concatenation.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Assume x and y are assigned as follows: x=5, y=-5. What is the effect of this statement: x, y = (y, x)[::-1]

    • A.

      Both x and y are 5

    • B.

      The values of x and y are swapped.

    • C.

      The values of x and y are unchanged.

    • D.

      Both x and y are -5

    Correct Answer
    C. The values of x and y are unchanged.
    Explanation
    The statement "x, y = (y, x)[::-1]" swaps the values of x and y. However, since the assignment is done within a list slicing operation [::-1], the original order of the values is reversed and then assigned back to x and y. In this case, x=5 and y=-5, so after the statement is executed, x will be -5 and y will be 5. Therefore, the correct answer is "The values of x and y are swapped."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    In regards to separated value files such as .csv and .tsv, what is the delimiter?

    • A.

      Any character such as the comma (,) or tab (\t) that is used to separate the raw data

    • B.

      Delimiters are not used in separated value files.

    • C.

      Anywhere the comma (,) character is used in the file.

    • D.

      Any character such as the comma (,) or tab (\t) that is used to separate the column data

    Correct Answer
    D. Any character such as the comma (,) or tab (\t) that is used to separate the column data
    Explanation
    The delimiter in separated value files such as .csv and .tsv is any character such as the comma (,) or tab (\t) that is used to separate the column data.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    In separated value files such as .csv and .tsv what does the first row in the file typically contain?

    • A.

      The author of the table data

    • B.

      The column names of the data

    • C.

      The source of the data

    • D.

      Notes about the table data

    Correct Answer
    B. The column names of the data
    Explanation
    In separated value files such as .csv and .tsv, the first row in the file typically contains the column names of the data. This allows the user to easily identify and understand the data in each column. The column names provide a reference for the data that follows in the subsequent rows, making it easier to analyze and work with the data in the file.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Consider this assignment statement: a,b,c = (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)[1::3]. Following execution of this statement, what is the value of b:

    • A.

      2

    • B.

      4

    • C.

      5

    • D.

      6

    Correct Answer
    C. 5
    Explanation
    The assignment statement is slicing the tuple (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) starting from index 1 with a step of 3. This means that it will select every third element starting from index 1. The selected elements will be (2, 5, 8). Since b is the second element in the assignment, its value will be 5.

    How do you insert COMMENTS in Python code?

    • A.

      <--this is a comment-->

    • B.

      /*this is a comment*/

    • C.

      #this is a comment

    • D.

      //this is a comment//

    Correct Answer
    C. #this is a comment
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "#this is a comment". In Python, the "#" symbol is used to indicate a comment. Anything written after the "#" symbol on the same line is not executed as code and is only meant for human readers to understand the code. Comments are useful for adding explanations, documenting code, and making it more readable.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which collection is ordered, changeable, and allows duplicate members?

    • A.

      TUPLE

    • B.

      SET

    • C.

      LIST

    • D.

      DICTIONARY

    Correct Answer
    C. LIST
    Explanation
    A list is an ordered collection in which the elements can be changed or modified. It allows duplicate members, meaning that the same value can appear multiple times in the list. This makes it a suitable choice for situations where maintaining the order of elements and allowing duplicates is necessary. Tuples, on the other hand, are ordered and allow duplicates but are immutable, meaning that their values cannot be changed once they are assigned. Sets are unordered and do not allow duplicates. Dictionaries are also unordered but consist of key-value pairs.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    1. Which of the following are true about python lists?

    • A.

       These represent the same list: ['a', 'b', 'c'] ['c', 'a', 'b']

    • B.

      All elements in a list must be of the same type 

    • C.

      A given object may appear in a list more than once

    • D.

      There is no conceptual limit to the size of a list

    Correct Answer(s)
    C. A given object may appear in a list more than once
    D. There is no conceptual limit to the size of a list
    Explanation
    Python lists allow duplicate elements, so a given object may appear in a list more than once. Additionally, there is no conceptual limit to the size of a list, meaning that a list can contain any number of elements.

    Rate this question:

    1. Assume the following list definition:
    >>> a = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'qux', 'quux', 'corge'] Several short REPL sessions are shown below. Which display correct output?

    • A.

      · >>> print(a[4::-2]) ['quux', 'baz', 'foo']  

    • B.

      · >>> a[:] is a True

    • C.

      · >>> print(a[-5:-3]) ['bar', 'baz']

    • D.

      · >>> max(a[2:4] + ['grault']) 'qux'

    • E.

      · >>> print(a[-6]) Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> IndexError: list index out of range

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. · >>> print(a[4::-2]) ['quux', 'baz', 'foo']  
    C. · >>> print(a[-5:-3]) ['bar', 'baz']
    D. · >>> max(a[2:4] + ['grault']) 'qux'
    Explanation
    The correct answers are:

    - `print(a[4::-2])` prints the elements of the list `a` starting from index 4 and moving backwards by 2 steps. This results in the output `['quux', 'baz', 'foo']`.

    - `print(a[-5:-3])` prints the elements of the list `a` starting from index -5 and ending at index -3. This results in the output `['bar', 'baz']`.

    - `max(a[2:4] + ['grault'])` finds the maximum value among the elements of the list `a` from index 2 to index 4, along with the additional element `'grault'`. The maximum value is `'qux'`.

    • C.

      LIST

    • D.

      DICTIONARY

    Correct Answer
    D. DICTIONARY
    Explanation
    A dictionary is a collection that is unordered, changeable, and does not allow duplicates. In Python, a dictionary is a data structure that stores key-value pairs. It is unordered because the items in a dictionary are not stored in any particular order. It is changeable because you can add, remove, or modify items in a dictionary. And it does not allow duplicates because each key in a dictionary must be unique. Therefore, a dictionary is the correct answer for a collection that possesses these characteristics.

      TUPLE

    • B.

      SET

    • C.

      LIST

    • D.

      DICTIONARY

    Correct Answer
    A. TUPLE
    Explanation
    A tuple is a collection in Python that is ordered and unchangeable. This means that the elements in a tuple are stored in a specific order, and once a tuple is created, its elements cannot be modified. Tuples are typically used to store related pieces of data together, such as coordinates or personal information. Unlike lists, tuples are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered after creation. Therefore, a tuple fits the description of a collection that is ordered and unchangeable.

    How do you start writing a while loop in Python?

    • A.

      While x > y:

    • B.

      While (x > y)

    • C.

      X > y while {

    • D.

      While x>y {

    Correct Answer
    A. While x > y:
    Explanation
    To start writing a while loop in Python, the correct syntax is "while x > y:". This means that the loop will continue executing as long as the condition "x > y" is true. The code block inside the loop will be executed repeatedly until the condition becomes false.

    Select the ones you like List a is defined as follows: a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Select all of the following statements that remove the middle element 3 from a so that it equals [1, 2, 4, 5]:

    • A.

      A[2]=[ ]

    • B.

      A[2:3]=[ ]

    • C.

      A.remove(3)

    • D.

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. A[2:3]=[ ]
    C. A.remove(3)
    E. Del a[2]
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a[2:3]=[ ], a.remove(3), del a[2].


    - a[2:3]=[ ]: This statement uses slicing to remove the middle element 3 from the list. It selects the element at index 2 and removes it.
    - a.remove(3): This statement uses the remove() method to remove the first occurrence of the element 3 from the list.
    - del a[2]: This statement uses the del keyword to delete the element at index 2 from the list.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Which statement is used to stop a loop?

    • A.

      Break

    • B.

      Exit

    • C.

      Return

    • D.

      Stop

    Correct Answer
    A. Break
    Explanation
    The statement "break" is used to stop a loop. When the "break" statement is encountered within a loop, it immediately terminates the loop and the control is transferred to the next statement after the loop. This allows the program to exit the loop prematurely based on a certain condition, without executing the remaining iterations.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    List a is defined as follows: a = ['a', 'b', 'c'] Which of the following statements adds 'd' and 'e' to the end of a, so that it then equals ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']:

    • A.

      A.extend(['d','e'])

    • B.

      A.append(['d','e'])

    • C.

      A += ['d','e']

    • D.

      A[len(a):] = ['d','e']

    • E.

      A +=  'de'

    • F.

      A[-1:] =  ['d','e']

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A.extend(['d','e'])
    C. A += ['d','e']
    D. A[len(a):] = ['d','e']
    E. A +=  'de'
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a.extend(['d','e']), a += ['d','e'], a[len(a):] = ['d','e'], a += 'de'.

    These options all add 'd' and 'e' to the end of the list 'a' so that it becomes ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'].

    - a.extend(['d','e']) adds the elements 'd' and 'e' to the end of list 'a' using the extend() method.
    - a += ['d','e'] is shorthand for a = a + ['d','e'], which concatenates list 'a' with the list ['d','e'] and assigns the result back to 'a'.
    - a[len(a):] = ['d','e'] uses list slicing to add the elements 'd' and 'e' to the end of list 'a'.
    - a += 'de' concatenates the string 'de' to list 'a', resulting in ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'].

    Explanation
    The update() method is used to update the dictionary with the specified key-value pairs. It takes in another dictionary or an iterable object containing key-value pairs as an argument and adds them to the existing dictionary. This method is useful when we want to add multiple key-value pairs to a dictionary at once, without having to add them one by one using assignment statements.

    Correct Answer
    D. Values()
    Explanation
    The values() method returns a list of all the values in the dictionary. This means that it will extract and return only the values from the key-value pairs in the dictionary, ignoring the keys themselves. It is useful when you need to access or manipulate only the values in a dictionary without needing to know the associated keys.

    • D.

      Is a collection which is unordered and changeable. No duplicate members.

    Correct Answer
    B. Is a collection which is unordered and unindexed. No duplicate members.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is a collection which is unordered and unindexed. No duplicate members." This statement accurately describes a set. Sets are collections where the elements are not arranged in a specific order and cannot be accessed using indexes. Additionally, sets do not allow duplicate members, meaning each element in a set is unique.

    • D.

      Is a collection which is unordered and unindexed. No duplicate members.

    Correct Answer
    A. Is a collection which is unordered and changeable. No duplicate members.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is a collection which is unordered and changeable. No duplicate members." This is because a dictionary is a data structure that stores key-value pairs. It is unordered because the items in a dictionary are not stored in any particular order. It is also changeable because the items in a dictionary can be modified or updated. Additionally, a dictionary does not allow duplicate members, meaning that each key in a dictionary must be unique.

    What is the proper way to open the file using the Python csv module and assign it to the variable csv_reader? Assume that csv has already been imported.

    • A.

      · csv_reader = csv.tab_reader(my_data)

    • B.

      · csv_reader = csv.reader(my_data, tab_delimited=True)

    • C.

      · csv_reader = csv.reader(my_data, delimiter='\t')

    • D.

      · csv_reader = csv.reader(my_data)

    Correct Answer
    C. · csv_reader = csv.reader(my_data, delimiter='\t')
    Explanation
    The proper way to open the file using the Python csv module and assign it to the variable csv_reader is by using the code "csv_reader = csv.reader(my_data, delimiter='\t')". This code uses the csv.reader() function to read the file object my_data and specifies the tab character (\t) as the delimiter to properly separate the values in the file.

    1. When writing to a CSV file using the .writerow() method of the csv.DictWriter object, what must each key in the input dict represent? Below is an example:
    with open('test_file.csv', mode='w') as csv_file:     writer = csv.DictWriter(         csv_file,         fieldnames=['first_col', 'second_col']     )     writer.writeheader()     # This input dictionary is what the question is referring     # to and is not necessarily correct as shown.     writer.writerow({'key1':'value1', 'key2':'value2'})

    • A.

      · Each key must match up to the field names (index names) used to identify the row data

    • B.

      · Each key indicates the column index as an integer for where the value should go

    • C.

      · Each key indicates the row index as an integer for where the data should go

    • D.

      · Each key must match up to the field names (column names) used to identify the column data

    Correct Answer
    D. · Each key must match up to the field names (column names) used to identify the column data
    Explanation
    Each key in the input dictionary must match up to the field names (column names) used to identify the column data. This means that the keys in the dictionary should be the same as the column names specified in the fieldnames parameter of the csv.DictWriter object. This ensures that the values are correctly mapped to the corresponding columns in the CSV file.

    D. Method
    Explanation
    A function defined inside a class is called a method. In object-oriented programming, a method is a behavior associated with an object or a class. It represents the actions that an object or class can perform. By defining a function within a class, we can encapsulate related functionality and access the properties and other methods of the class. This allows for better organization and structure in the code, making it easier to maintain and reuse.

    What does ~~~~5 evaluate to?

    • A.

      +5

    • B.

      -11

    • C.

      -5

    • D.

      +11

    Correct Answer
    A. +5
    Explanation
    The given expression ~~~~5 evaluates to +5. The tilde (~) operator in many programming languages is used to perform a bitwise negation operation. In this case, the expression ~~5 is equivalent to 5, as the first tilde negates the second tilde, resulting in the original value. Therefore, the additional two tildes have no effect, and the final result is +5.
