Python Rules

100

In Python quotation marks are used to wrap strings.

True/False

True

200

While quotation marks are not used for integers, they are used for floats.

True/False 

FALSE!! Both do not use quotation marks, only strings use quotation marks.

300

You have to use if/else statements only for calculations and if there is less than 4 conditions.

True/False

False

If/Else statements are used when there are two or more answers displayed after a conditional statement.

400

To multiply two numbers you use two * (ex: 8**7)

To raise the first number to the power of the second number you only use one *(ex:9*6)

True/False

False!!

Its the other way around. To multiply you use one * and for exponents you use two *

Definition

100

What are variables? 

A function is an encased block of code that only runs when the function's name is called. It is a reusable block of programming statements designed to perform a certain task.

200

What is a while loop and when is it used?

A while  loop is used to execute a set of statements when the function is true. If the function is processed as false, then the loop stops. Variables need to be defined in the lines above the loop for the while  loop to function!

300

Define a for loop and what differentiates it from a while loop.

A for  loop is used when you want to iterate a sequence, such as a list, a fixed number of times. Within the parenthesis, you input the range, or the number of times you wish for the loop to repeat. While a while loop continues infinity unless the function is false.

What does the modulus do?

% finds the remainder from division

Coding

100

What is the error in the code below?

number=int(input("Enter a number:")) 

x=4*number

print(number)

There is no error, hehe>:)

200

Find the problem in the code below:

name=input("Enter name:")

hobby=int(intput("How many hobbies do you have(enter a number):"))

1answeR!= hobby-hobby

print(name,"has",1answeR!,"hobbies.")

A variable cannot start with a number. 

300

What is the error in the code below

animal = input("Enter an animal: ")

sound = input("Enter a sound: ")

e = " E-I-E-I-O"

print("Old Macdonald had a farm," + e)

print("And on his farm he had a", animal + "," + e)

print("With a " + sound + "-" + sound + " here and a " + sound + "-" + sound, 'there")

print("I showed my mercy by not writing the rest of the song", e)

On the third print statement the string "there" had mismatched quotation marks: 'there". Correct way to write it would be "there"

400

What is the error in the code below:(only 2 minutes)

A=int(input("Enter side A:"))

B=int(input("Enter side B:"))

C=int(input("Enter side C:"))

D=int(input('Enter side D:"))

E=int(input("Enter side E:"))

Dside=(D-E)

Fside=(A-C)

area1=Fside*Dside

area2=C*B

area3=0.5*E*Fslde

sum_Area=area1+area2+area3

print("Room Area:", sumArea)

There were 3 problems in the code

1- D had mismatching quotation marks 

2- in the print statement the variable sumArea is undefined.

3- when the variable in the print statement is spelled correctly–sum_Area– it needs the str() function.
