PYTHON Exam 1 Questions Correctly
Answered.
algorithm - CORRECT ANSWER A set of specific steps for solving a category of problems
comment - CORRECT ANSWER Text in a program that is meant for other programmers (or anyone
reading the source code) and has no effect on the execution of the program
high-level language - CORRECT ANSWER A programming language like Python that is designed to be
easy for humans to read and write.
print - CORRECT ANSWER A function used in a program or script that causes the Python interpreter to
display a value on its output device.
runtime error - CORRECT ANSWER An error that does not occur until the program has started to
execute but that prevents the program from continuing.
semantic error - CORRECT ANSWER An error in a program that makes it do something other than what
the programmer intended.
semantic - CORRECT ANSWER the meaning of a program
syntax - CORRECT ANSWER The structure of a program
syntax error - CORRECT ANSWER An error in a program that makes it impossible to parse — and
therefore impossible to interpret.
string - CORRECT ANSWER contains a string of letters
, variable - CORRECT ANSWER name that refers to a value
assignment statement - CORRECT ANSWER gives value to a variable
statement - CORRECT ANSWER instruction that the Python interpreter can execute
operators - CORRECT ANSWER special tokens that represent computations like addition, multiplication
and division
evaluate - CORRECT ANSWER To simplify an expression by performing the operations in order to yield a
single value.
int - CORRECT ANSWER A Python data type that holds positive and negative whole numbers
float - CORRECT ANSWER A Python data type which stores floating-point numbers. Floating-point
numbers are stored internally in two parts: a base and an exponent. When printed in the standard
format, they look like decimal numbers
flow of execution - CORRECT ANSWER The order in which statements are executed during a program
run.
function - CORRECT ANSWER A named sequence of statements that performs some useful operation.
Functions may or may not take parameters and may or may not produce a result
boolean function - CORRECT ANSWER A function that returns a Boolean value. The only possible values
of the bool type are False and True.
block - CORRECT ANSWER A group of consecutive statements with the same indentation.
boolean expression - CORRECT ANSWER An expression that is either true or false.
