D522 WGU EXAM STUDY GUIDE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Python - ANSinterpreted programming language known for its simplicity, readability, and
versatility
supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional
programming, making it adaptable to different coding styles.
Python is - ANSreadable
dynamically typed
extensive standard library
cross plat
versatile
interpreted nature
Programming Paradigm - ANSa fundamental style or approach to programming that dictates
how tasks should be structured and executed in each programming language. It encompasses
principles, concepts, and patterns that guide the design and organization of code.
imperative/procedural programming - ANSfocuses on describing a sequence of steps to
perform a task, procedures or routines.
object-oriented programming (OOP) - ANSorganizes code around objects, which encapsulate
data and behavior
functional programming - ANSemphasizes the use of functions and immutable data for
computation
declarative programming - ANSdescribes what the program should accomplish without
specifying how to achieve it
event-driven programming - ANSreacts to events and user actions, triggering corresponding
functions
logic programming - ANSdefines a set of logical conditions and lets the system deduce
solutions
indentation - ANSdefines blocks of code. crucial for structure and nesting of code blocks
(4 spaces)
, comments - ANS#
ignored by interpreter, for humans
Variable - ANSused to store data, created by assigning a value to a name
Data Types - ANSintegers, floats, strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries
conditional statements - ANSif, else, elif (else if)
Classes - ANS(also objects) fundamental to object oriented programming in python.
print () - ANSused to output data to the console
print ("hello")
functions - ANSdefined using def
def greet(name):
print ("Hello, name")
run python script in cmd prompt - ANSpython script.py
How to run phython script in Python3 - ANSpython3 script.py
Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) - ANSprovide a more user-friendly environment
for coding, debugging, and running Python scripts
Markdown file - ANSsimple format used frequently to add styled text, images, code snippets
and more to coding repos serving as documentation
human readable
.md - ANSmarkdown file
Consistent Indentation - ANSAll statements within the same block must be indented by the
same number of spaces.
input() - ANSfunction, storing user entered info as strings
output() - ANSfunctions, allowing the presentation of results or messages
format() - ANSmethod, enhances output formatting by embedding variables in strings
