What are the traits of Imperative/procedural programming? - Answers - Focuses on
describing a sequence of steps to perform a task
What are the traits of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)? - Answers - Organize
code around objects, which encapsulate data and behavior.
What are the traits of Functional Programming? - Answers - emphasizes the use of
functions and immutable data for computation.
What are the traits of Declarative Programming? - Answers - describes what the
program should accomplish without specifying how to achieve it.
What are the traits of Event-Driven Programming? - Answers - Reacts to events and
user actions, triggering corresponding functions.
What are the traits of Logic Programming? - Answers - defines a set of logical
conditions and lets the system deduce solutions.
What does Python syntax refer to? - Answers - The set of rules that dictate the
combinations of symbols and keywords that form valid Python programs
What is the purpose of indentation in Python? - Answers - To define blocks of code
Why might a programmer use comments for 'Preventing Execution'? - Answers - To
temporarily disable lines or blocks of code
What is the primary use of whitespace in Python? - Answers - To define the structure
and hierarchy of the code
What does Python use to define the scope of control flow statements and structures like
functions and classes? - Answers - Indentation
What is the purpose of the input() function in Python? - Answers - To capture user
input and store it as a string
What does the format() method do in Python? - Answers - It enhances output
formatting by embedding variables in strings. (although 'f' strings are easier to read)
What is the purpose of the Code Editor in a Python IDE? - Answers - To provide a text
editor designed for Python, offering features like syntax highlighting, code completion,
and indentation.
