Python Assignment #3

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?
Start the statement with a "#" character
Begin the statement with a curly brace {
Indent the line below the if statement
Underline all of the conditional code
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 put the colon : character on a line by itself to indicate we are done with the if block
You omit the semicolon ; on the last line of the if block
You use a curly brace { after 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
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?
otherwise
else
toggle
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
All done
LARGE
All done
All done
Small
Medium
LARGE
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
x = -2.0
x = 2.0
This code will never print 'Something else' regardless of the value for 'x'
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)
This is a doubtful question, please answer carefully.
Question 10
For the following code:
astr = 'Hello Bob'
istr = 0
try:
istr = int(astr)
except:
istr = -1
What will the value be for istr after this code executes?
false
It will be a random number depending on the operating system the program runs on
It will be the 'Not a number' value (i.e. NaN)
-1
Question 11
Write a program to prompt for a score between 0.0 and 1.0. If the score is out of range, print an error. If the score is
between 0.0 and 1.0, print a grade using the following table:
Score Grade
>= 0.9 A
>= 0.8 B
>= 0.7 C
>= 0.6 D
< 0.6 F
If the user enters a value out of range, print a suitable error message and exit. For the test, enter a score of 0.85.
