Name:​ ​ Class:​ ​Mark:​

1.​ State the values of a, b, c, d and e after the following operations are carried out: ​ [5]

(a) a = 26 % 5= 1​
​

(b) b = 142 // 7= 20​


​

(c) c = (7 + 3) * 4 – 1= 39​
​

(d) d = 15.6 / 3 + 4.8 / 2= 7.6​


​

(e) e = "4" + "56"= 456​

2.​ The function ASC('a') evaluates to 97, the ASCII value of the character ‘a’.
​ CHR(97) evaluates to 'a'.
State what is output by this algorithm: ​ [4]

x = ord('b')​

y = x + 1​

z = x – 1​

w = chr(y) + chr(z)​

print(x)​

print(y)​

print(z)​

print(w)

output=(98,99,97,‘ca’)​

3.​ What is output by the following algorithm?​ [3]


notice = "Please do not walk on the grass"
stringLength = len(notice)
left = notice[:11]
right = notice[stringLength-11:]
print(stringLength)
1
​ ​

print(left)
print(right)

34
“please do n”
“the grass”

4. Write a comment for each line with a # after the code to explain its
purpose.​ [4]

firstName = input("Enter your first name: ")


surname = input("Enter your surname: ")
initial = firstName[0] #extract the first character of firstname and store it in the variable initial

initial = initial.upper() #Convert the initial to a capital letter


surnameStart = surname[0]#Extract the character at index 9 of surname and store it at variable surname
Start​

surnameStart = surnameStart.upper() #Convert surnameStart to uppercase ​


surname = surname.lower() #Convert the entire surname to lower
length = len(surname) #calculate the length and store it in the variable length​
surname = surnameStart + surname[1:]#Replace the first character of surname with surnameStart
and concentrate the rest of the surname
