WGU D335 COMPREHENSIVE STUDY GUIDE
2026 FULL QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
◍ A notable resource for learning programming through tutorials and guides.
Answer: Corey Schaefer
◍ Method to add elements to the end of a list.
Answer: Append
◍ A special variable in Python that holds the name of the current module.
Answer: __name__
◍ An efficient, comparison-based sorting algorithm.
Answer: Merge Sort
◍ Extracting a portion of a sequence like a string or list in Python.
Answer: Slicing
◍ mutation.
Answer: Change or cause to change in form or nature
◍ A program that translates Python code into machine code.
Answer: Python compiler
◍ Primary highways: 1-99, odd for north/south, even for east/west. Auxiliary:
100-999, servicing the rightmost two digits of the primary highway.
Answer: Interstate Highway Numbers
◍ interpreted programming.
Answer: A programming language for which most of its implementations
execute instructions directly, without previously compiling a program into
machine-language instructions.
, ◍ Function to obtain the magnitude of an integer, removing the negative sign.
Answer: Absolute value function
◍ Function returning 'Heads' or 'Tails' based on a random value of 1 or 0.
Answer: Coin Flip Function
◍ invoke.
Answer: To activate, usually references the calling of a function in a
program.
◍ for loop.
Answer: Executes a block once for each element of a collection.
◍ A learning method involving video lectures at home and labs in class.
Answer: Reverse Course
◍ validator.
Answer: A program or service that checks for syntax errors prior to
execution
◍ Repeats an action for everything in a container.
Answer: for loop
◍ compiler.
Answer: A program that takes source code and converts it to machine code
by producing a separate file.
◍ parameters.
Answer: The inputs to a procedure. There can be any number of parameters,
including none. (may also be called arguments)
◍ Used to iterate until a condition is met, breaking based on a condition rather
than a specific number of iterations.
Answer: While Loop
◍ logical operators.
Answer: The AND and OR operators. The important property they have
which is different from other operators is that the second operand expression
is evaluated only when necessary.
