LEARN JOURNAL OF UNIT 1 PYTHON UOPEOPLE

LEANRING FROM YOUR MISTAKES!


In Chapter 1, section 1.9 Exercises (pg. 7) of your textbook, Exercise 1.1

Question a

a. If you are trying to print your name, what happens if you leave out one of the
quotation marks or both and why?

Answer :

My name is Thierry Murhondezi Bisimwa

So I tried to write a program that displays my name on the screen, but left l the LAST
quotation marks of a string away ,

See screenshot

Input :

‘Thierry Murhondezi Bisimwa

Out put

File "<stdin>", line 1


print ('Thierry Murhondezi Bisimwa)
^
SyntaxError: unterminated string literal (detected at line 1)

Explanation
In fact this is a syntax error; the “quotation marks” indicates the beginning and the end of a
string text …. So by missing away on of both the quotations marks , the computer program
doesn’t know where your string starts or where it ends , in our case , it’s the end of the
string that is not defined into our syntax
Question b

b. What is the difference between * and ** operators in Python? Explain with the help
of an example.

* operator : stands for multiplication


For example
>>>2*3
6

See the shot

** Operator : stands for exponentiation


For example
>>>2**3
8

See the screen shot


Question C

c. In Python, is it possible to display an integer like 09? Justify your answer.

Answer

No , it is not possible to display integer 09 , because Python interprets it as a sequence with


a significant integer that is 9
Python says :

Input
>>> type(09)

Output
File "<stdin>", line 1
type(09)
^
SyntaxError: leading zeros in decimal integer literals are not permitted; use an 0o prefix for
octal integers

See screen

Question D

d. Run the commands type('67') and type(67). What is the difference in the output
and why?

Answer

>>> type('69')
<class 'str'>
>>> type(67)
<class 'int'>
>>>
The difference is that having put ‘69’ into quotation marks , indicates it as an integer to
string to python , not as an integer , while type(69) , gives us the output indicating that 69 is
a regular integer
