Introduction to Programming with Python - Lecture 0

The process of creating code with Python is called:

• Coding

• Programming

• Scripting

• Developing

What are functions in Python?

• Functions in Python are blocks of code that perform a specific task.

• Functions in Python are a type of variable.

• Functions in Python are used to store data.

• Functions in Python are a type of loop.

Bugs in programming are:

• Errors or flaws in a computer program

• Features of a software

• Hardware components

• Programming languages

How can you improve your first Python program?

• By adding comments to explain the code

• By removing all comments

• By making the code longer

• By using complex algorithms unnecessarily

Variables in Python are used to:

• store data values

• perform calculations

• define functions

• create classes

The purpose of comments in Python code is to:

• Explain the code to others

• Execute code faster

• Store data

• Create user interfaces

What is pseudocode and how is it used in programming?

• A way to write code in a specific programming language

• A method to write algorithms in a human-readable form

• A tool for compiling code

• A type of programming language

How can you further improve your first Python program?

• By adding comments to explain the code

• By removing all comments

• By making the code longer without reason

• By using outdated libraries

Strings and parameters in Python are:

• Data types and function arguments

• Loops and conditions

• Classes and objects

• Modules and packages

What is a small problem with quotation marks in Python?

• They can cause syntax errors if not used properly.

• They are not supported in Python.

• They automatically convert to single quotes.

• They are case-sensitive.
