Block 1: Computer Programming and Python
Fundamentals (18%)
1. What is the output of the following code?
python
print()
print(type(4 // 2.0))
A) 2 <class 'int'>
B) 2.0 <class 'float'>
C) 2 <class 'float'>
D) 2.0 <class 'int'>
Correct answer: B
Rationale: returns a float (2.0). 4 // 2.0 performs floor division on a float,
returning a float (2.0).
,2. Which of the following are valid Python keywords? (Select two.)
A) def
B) function
C) import
D) include
Correct answer: A, C
Rationale: def is used to define functions, and import is used to import

3. What is the result of 0b1111 in decimal?
A) 8
B) 12
C) 15
D) 16
Correct answer: C
Rationale: 0b1111 is binary for 15 (8 + 4 + 2 + 1).
4. What is the output of the following code?
python
x = 5
y = 2
print(x ** y)
A) 7
B) 10
,C) 25
D) 32
Correct answer: C
Rationale: ** is the exponentiation operator. 5 ** 2 = 25.
5. Which of the following variable names is NOT valid in Python?
A) _my_var
B) myVar2
C) 2myVar

A) abcabcabc
B) abc abc abc
C) 3abc
D) Error
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The * operator repeats strings. 3 * "abc" produces "abcabcabc".
, 7. Which operator is used for floor division in Python?
A) /
B) %
C) //
D) **
Correct answer: C
Rationale: // performs floor division, returning the integer part of the quotient.
8. What is the result of 5 % 2?
A) 2.5
B) 2
C) 1
D) 0
Correct answer: C
Rationale: % is the modulo operator, returning the remainder of the division. 5 % 2
= 1.
