Programming Constructs Quiz

What is the main purpose of the dice game example in the video?

• To explain data structures

• To teach advanced Python features

• To illustrate basic programming constructs

• To demonstrate complex algorithms

What does the sequence construct in programming ensure?

• Instructions are executed only if a condition is met

• Instructions are executed based on user input

• Instructions are executed in a specific order, one after the other

• Instructions are executed in a random order

In the context of selection or branching, what does an if-else statement allow a program to do?

• Store multiple values in a single variable

• Choose between two paths based on a condition

• Repeat a block of code multiple times

• Execute all lines of code simultaneously

What is a key feature of the match statement introduced in Python 3.10?

• It enhances string manipulation

• It allows for infinite loops

• It enables multiple branches based on variable values

• It simplifies arithmetic operations

What is the primary function of a for loop in programming?

• To execute code indefinitely

• To execute code based on a condition

• To execute code a known number of times

• To execute code based on user input

How does a repeat loop differ from a for loop?

• It executes code at least once before checking the condition

• It executes code a fixed number of times

• It checks the condition before executing the loop

• It does not allow for any conditions

What is the main difference between a repeat loop and a while loop?

• A while loop does not check any condition

• A while loop checks the condition at the end

• A repeat loop checks the condition at the start

• A repeat loop checks the condition at the end

In pseudo code, what does the 'otherwise' clause in a case statement do?

• Executes if the last condition is true

• Executes if the first condition is false

• Executes if none of the previous conditions match

• Executes if all previous conditions are true

What is the purpose of the 'step' in a for loop?

• To define the increment or decrement of the loop counter

• To specify the condition for loop termination

• To execute the loop indefinitely

• To determine the starting point of the loop

In the pseudo code example, what does the 'next' keyword indicate in a for loop?

• The execution of a conditional statement

• The increment of the loop counter

• The start of a new loop

• The end of the loop
