Python Subroutines Quiz

What is a subroutine in Python?

• A type of data structure in Python

• A block of code that can be called and executed within a program

• A mathematical equation used in Python programming

• A type of snake in the Amazon rainforest

How do you define a subroutine in Python?

• Defining a subroutine is not possible in Python

• Using the 'def' keyword followed by the name of the subroutine and parentheses containing any parameters.

• Using the 'function' keyword followed by the name of the subroutine

• By using the 'sub' keyword followed by the name of the subroutine

What is the syntax for calling a subroutine in Python?

• subroutine_name{}

• call subroutine_name

• subroutine_name{};

• subroutine_name()

What is the purpose of using subroutines in Python?

• To confuse other programmers

• To slow down the program's execution

• To break down a program into smaller, manageable pieces of code that can be reused and called multiple times.

• To make the program longer and more complex

What are the advantages of using subroutines in Python?

• They increase redundancy and make the code less efficient.

• They make the code more disorganized and harder to read.

• They help in organizing code, reducing redundancy, and improving readability.

• They have no impact on code organization or readability.

Explain the concept of parameters in Python subroutines.

• Parameters in Python subroutines are not necessary and can be omitted.

• Parameters in Python subroutines are only used for error handling.

• Parameters in Python subroutines are the output values that are passed to the subroutine when it is called.

• Parameters in Python subroutines are the input values that are passed to the subroutine when it is called.

What is the difference between a function and a subroutine in Python?

• A function returns a value, while a subroutine does not.

• A function and a subroutine are the same thing in Python.

• A function can only be called once in a program, while a subroutine can be called multiple times.

• A function can only be used for mathematical operations, while a subroutine can be used for any type of operation.

How do you pass arguments to a subroutine in Python?

• By declaring the arguments as global variables

• By using the 'return' keyword

• By passing the arguments as a separate dictionary

• By specifying the arguments within the parentheses when defining the function.

What is the return statement used for in Python subroutines?

• To loop through a list of values

• To import a module from another file

• To exit a function and return a value to the caller

• To print a message to the console

Explain the concept of recursion in Python subroutines.

• Recursion is the process of using a built-in Python module to solve a problem

• Recursion is the process of calling multiple functions at the same time

• Recursion is the process where a function calls itself directly or indirectly to solve a problem.

• Recursion is the process of using a loop to solve a problem
