SECTION 1: FUNDAMENTALS & DATA TYPES




**Question 1**


What is the output of the following code?
```python
print(type())
```


A) `<class 'int'>`
B) `<class 'float'>`
C) `<class 'complex'>`
D) `<class 'div'>`


**Answer:** B) `<class 'float'>`


**Rationale:** In Python 3, the `/` operator always performs floating-point division,
regardless of operand types. Even though 10 and 2 are integers, the result is 5.0, which
is a float. To get integer division, use `//`.

**Question 2**

,Which of the following is a valid variable name in Python?


A) `2variable`
B) `my-variable`
C) `_variable`
D) `my variable`


**Answer:** C) `_variable`


**Rationale:** Variable names in Python must start with a letter (a-z, A-Z) or underscore
(_) and cannot start with a number. They cannot contain spaces or hyphens. Underscore
is commonly used for "private" or temporary variables.


---


**Question 3**


What is the output of this code?
```python
x = [1, 2, 3]
y=x
y.append(4)
print(x)
```


A) `[1, 2, 3]`
B) `[1, 2, 3, 4]`
C) `[4]`
D) `None`

,**Answer:** B) `[1, 2, 3, 4]`


**Rationale:** Lists are mutable objects in Python. When `y = x` is executed, `y` becomes
a reference to the same list object as `x`, not a copy. Modifying the list through `y` also
affects `x` because both variables point to the same memory location.


---


**Question 4**


Which operator is used for exponentiation in Python?


A) `^`
B) `**`
C) `*`
D) `%%`


**Answer:** B) `**`


**Rationale:** The `**` operator performs exponentiation (power). For example, `2 ** 3`
returns `8`. The `^` operator performs bitwise XOR, not exponentiation.


---


**Question 5**


What is the result of `bool([])` in Python?


A) `True`
B) `False`
C) `None`

, D) `Error`


**Answer:** B) `False`


**Rationale:** In Python, empty sequences (lists, tuples, strings), empty dictionaries, and
the number 0 evaluate to `False` in a boolean context. Non-empty containers and non-
zero numbers evaluate to `True`. An empty list `[]` is considered falsy.


---


**Question 6**


What does the `len()` function return when called on a dictionary?


A) The number of key-value pairs
B) The number of keys only
C) The number of values only
D) The total memory size


**Answer:** A) The number of key-value pairs


**Rationale:** The `len()` function returns the number of items in a container. For a
dictionary, this is the number of key-value pairs. It does not count values separately or
measure memory usage.


---


**Question 7**


What is the output of this code?
```python
