Year 8 – Intro to Python programming Homework - Solutions

Lesson 2 – Crunching numbers

Homework – Solutions
Task 1 .
Read the Python program below:

1 num1 = int(input())
2 num2 = 10 + num1 * 2
3 print(num2)
4 num1 = 20
5 print(num1)

Question 1
When this program is executed, if the user types 10 on the keyboard, what will be
displayed on the screen as a result of executing line 3?
A. 30

B. 40

C. 10 + 10 * 2

D. 10 + num1 * 2

The correct answer is A: 30.


Operator precedence is important for the calculation (answer B). Expressions are
evaluated during execution, and it’s their value that is stored in variables (answers C and
D).

Question 2
When this program is executed, if the user types 10 on the keyboard, what will be
displayed on the screen as a result of executing line 5?
A. 10

B. 20

C. 10 and 20

D. There is an error in the program because a variable cannot hold two values at the
same time
The correct answer is B: 20.

Line 4 replaces the value of num1 (answer A); it does not assign it an additional value
(answer D). Variables can only hold a single value at any given time (answer C).

Task 2 .
Rearrange the lines in the Python program below, so that you have a runnable program
that holds a meaningful interaction with the user.

1 print("And where do you live", name)


2 print("I’ve never been to", location)
3 name = input()
4 print("What is your name?")
5 location = input()

Write your rearranged program below:

4 print("What is your name?")


3 name = input()
1 print("And where do you live", name)
5 location = input()
2 print("I’ve never been to", location)

Task 3 .
The incomplete program below is supposed to prompt the user for a distance in miles,
and convert the distance that the user enters to kilometres.

1 print("Enter a distance in miles:")


2 miles = float(input()) # int is also correct.
3 kilometres = 1.60934 * miles.
4 print(miles, "miles is", kilometres, "km")

Step 1
Page 2
Complete line 2 so that the value assigned to the miles variable is obtained from what
the user types on the keyboard.

Step 2
Complete line 3 so that the program calculates the value of the kilometres variable to
be the equivalent of the miles variable, converted to kilometres. Note that 1 mile is equal
to 1.60934 kilometres.
