Year 8 Python -input-output-selection

How do you give an output to the console in Python? For example, how would you output 'Hello World!'?

• print("Hello World!")

• output("Hello World!")

• Console.WriteLine("Hello World!")

• Print("Hello World!")

In Python, how would you get and store an input from the user? For example, an answer to the question 'What is your name?"

• print("What is your name?")

  name = input()

• input("What is your name")

• name = "What is your name?"

• print("What is your name")

If you want to get a whole number as an input from the user, what would you type in the blank? number = (a)   (input())

Answer explanation

The input() statement in Python will always return a string (text), s if we want a number, we must convert (or cast) it into an integer using the int() statement.

In Python, what comparison operator is used for 'not equal to'?

• <>

• !=

• ==

• #=

If you want to check that answer is "A", what would you put in blanks: if answer (a)   "A":

Answer explanation

In Python, a single = is used to assign a value to a variable (e.g. name = "Bob") and a double equals == is used to check if something is equal to something else as part of an if statement (e.g. if name == "Bob":).

In an if statement, what will the condition always evaluate to?

• Yes or No

• True or False

• 1 or 0

• It depends on the condition!

Which of the following is a valid name for a variable?

• 1stName

• @name

• firstName

• first Name

What would be the output of this code?

name = "Bob"

print("Hello" + name)

• It would not work

• Hello, Bob

• HelloBob

Answer explanation

The + operator adds the two strings together, so "Hello" and "Bob" (which is in the variable name). There is no space after the last letter in "Hello" so it would join the two strings directly together: HelloBob.

Fill in the blank:

lucky = 7

print("My lucky number is ", (a)   )

What would be the output of this code:

(a)
