python exam 1 questions with correct
answers rated A+ (6)
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
