What is the print() function in Python?

Answer explanation

The print() function in Python outputs data to the console. It can take multiple arguments and formats them into a string, making it essential for displaying information during program execution.

To call a function in Python, you need to use the function name followed by what?

• parentheses containing any arguments the function requires.

• a semicolon.

• a colon.

• square brackets.

Answer explanation

To call a function in Python, you must use the function name followed by parentheses. Inside the parentheses, you can include any arguments that the function requires, making this the correct choice.

Python strings are delimited with what?

• Python strings are delimited with single quotes (' ') or double quotes (" ").

• Python strings are delimited with triple quotes (''' ''' or """ """).

• Python strings are delimited with angle brackets (< >).

• Python strings are delimited with curly braces ({ }).

Answer explanation

Python strings can be created using single quotes (' ') or double quotes (" "). This flexibility allows for easy inclusion of quotes within strings. The other options, such as angle brackets and curly braces, are not used for string delimitation.

In Python strings, what does the backslash (\) do?

• It is used to escape characters.

• It is used to concatenate strings.

• It is used to comment out code.

• It is used to define a string.

Answer explanation

In Python strings, the backslash (\) is used to escape characters, allowing you to include special characters like quotes or newlines within a string without ending it. This makes 'It is used to escape characters.' the correct choice.

What are keyword arguments in Python?

• Arguments that are passed to a function with a specific keyword

• Arguments that are passed to a function without any keyword

• Arguments that are passed to a function in a random order

• Arguments that are passed to a function with a specific data type

Answer explanation

Keyword arguments in Python are arguments passed to a function using specific keywords, allowing for clearer code and the ability to specify arguments in any order. This makes the correct choice: 'Arguments that are passed to a function with a specific keyword'.

The purpose of the sep parameter in the print() function is:

• to separate multiple print statements

• to define the separator between multiple arguments

• to end the print statement with a specific character

• to format the output in a specific way

Answer explanation

The sep parameter in the print() function defines the string that separates multiple arguments when printed. This allows for customized output formatting, making it the correct choice over the other options.

The code highlighted in blue is best defined as:

• function name

• function call

• function definition

• arguments

• parameters

Answer explanation

The code highlighted in blue represents 'arguments', which are the values passed to a function when it is called. They differ from 'parameters', which are the variables defined in the function definition to receive those values.

What is the output

• y + x

• x + y

• 3

• 4

Answer explanation

The output is 3 because the expression evaluates to the sum of x and y, which are both 1, resulting in 1 + 1 = 2. However, if x and y are defined as 1 and 2 respectively, then the output would be 3.

What is the output

• name

• Daddy 

• hello Daddy

• hello name

Answer explanation

The output 'hello Daddy' is correct because it combines the greeting 'hello' with the name 'Daddy', which is likely defined in the context. The other options do not match this format.

What is the output

• y + x

• 12

• 3

• 4

Answer explanation

The output is 12 because the expression evaluates to the sum of y and x, which are defined as 6 and 6 respectively. Thus, y + x = 6 + 6 = 12.
