Quiz:Variables Expressions and Statements

The document contains explanations of Python code examples and concepts. It defines variables, constants, data types, operators, and functions. Key points include: 1) Strings are immutable so "98.6" is a constant. Variable names can't start with numbers. Parentheses determine evaluation order in expressions. 2) The % operator works with integers for remainders. Functions like input() pause the program to read user input. Type conversion, like int(98.6), eliminates decimal portions. 3) Strings concatenate with + but you can't add integers and strings. Comments start with #. Variables are placeholders that can be reassigned, like x = x + 2.

1 - In the following code,

print(98.6)

What is "98.6"?

Answer: A constant
// The detail is in ' What is "98.6"? ', because "98.6" is a string,
strings are immutable, so they are constant values.

2 - Which of the following is a comment in Python?

Answer: # This is a test


// Comments are typically with: "//" , "/* */" , or "* ";
trough different languages, but in Python differs a lot using "#"
and triple quotes for multiline comments """ comment in python """

3 - What does the following code print out?


print("123" + "abc")

Answer: 123abc
// Across many languages this operation: "string1" + "string2"; is not an adition,
is concatenation of string, but you can't do it like this: 100 + "hello", it will
trace back an
error beacuse you are mixing diferent types of data. int + string = not
possible in Python

4 - In the following code,


x = 42
What is "x"?

Answer: A variable
// When you put a letter follow by "=" and some sort of data, you are declaring a
variable.
// Remember that they are placeholder for data.

5 - Which of the following is a bad Python variable name?

Answer: 23spam
// A variable cannot start with numbers in Python, is "illegal".

6 - Which of the following variables is the "most mnemonic"?

Answer: hours
// By reading the name you know immidiately what represent the data in the
variable.

7 -Which of the following is not a Python reserved word?


Answer: speed
// Unless that Python where a language specifically designed for physics problems
there's no sense to have a reserved word called "speed".
This is a good name for a variable as many other.

8 - Which of the following is not a Python reserved word?

Answer: iterate
// There are reserved words to make iterations, you will learn about in
chapter 4: Conditional Execution

9 - Assume the variable x has been initialized to an integer value (e.g., x = 3).
What does the following statement do?

x = x + 2

Retrieve the current value for x, add two to it and put the sum back into x
// Is the same that write: x = 3 + 2, beacuse x is already assigned the value 3.

10 - Which of the following elements of a mathematical expression in Python is


evaluated first?

Parentheses ( )
// In any language the Parentheses has top priority preference. Also in algebra

11 - What is the value of the following expression:


42 % 10

Answer: 2
//For logical reasons the remainder operator "%" work with "int" values,
if you work with "float" the remainder has no sense.

12 - What will be the value of x after the following statement executes:

x = 1 + 2 * 3 - 8 / 4

Answer: 5.0
// First, the operation will be like: x = 1 + (2 * 3) - (8 / 4);
Then, just remeber that division in Python3 will always parse the int's to float.

13- What will be the value of x when the following statement is executed:
x = int(98.6)

Answer: 98
// 98.6 is a float number and is parse to int, that eliminates the .6 of the value.
14 - What does the Python input() function do?

Answer: Pause the program and read data from the user.
