Programming Fundamentals Recap

What is the primary purpose of the input function in a Python program?

• To ignore comments in the code
• To display data to the user
• To store data in a variable
• To ask the user for information

Which command is used to output messages in Python?

• input()
• echo()
• output()
• print()

What role do variables play in a Python program?

• They ignore comments in the code
• They display output to the user
• They store data for later use
• They execute commands

What does a comment in Python code signify?

• It is executed as part of the program
• It outputs data to the user
• It is ignored by the computer
• It defines a variable

Which of the following best describes a string in programming?

• A type of mathematical operator
• A sequence of characters
• A numerical value
• A command to output data

What can happen if you use the wrong data type in a calculation?

• The program will run faster
• The calculation will be correct
• The program will ignore the error
• The result may be incorrect

What is the function of mathematical operators in Python?

• To create comments in code
• To define variables
• To store user input
• To perform calculations on data

Which of the following describes the three basic types of programming constructs?

• Input, output, and processing
• Data types, operators, and comments
• Sequencing, selection, and iteration
• Variables, functions, and loops

What is an if statement used for in programming?

• To execute code based on a condition
• To create loops
• To output data to the user
• To define variables

Why is relevant variable naming important in programming?

• It prevents the use of comments
• It allows for more data types
• It helps others understand the code
• It makes the code run faster
