Quiz:Conditional Execution

The document contains questions and answers about Python programming concepts like conditionals (if/else statements), logical operators, exceptions, and type conversion. It discusses how indentation is used to indicate code blocks in Python, and how comparisons and conversions between string and integer types can cause errors.

1 - What do we do to a Python statement that is immediately after an if statement

to indicate that the statement is to be executed only when the if statement is


true?

Answer: Indent the line below the if statement


//Python order the relationship of statement through the indentation.

2 -Which of these operators is not a comparison / logical operator?

Answer: " = "


// The equal (=) sign alone means assignation.

3 - What is true about the following code segment:

if x == 5 :
print('Is 5')
print('Is Still 5')
print('Third 5')

Answer: Depending on the value of x, either all three of the print statements will
execute or none of the statements will execute
// If x is equal to 5, all the statements are run because they are indented
below the comparison.

4 - When you have multiple lines in an if block, how do you indicate the end of the
if block?

Answer: You de-indent the next line past the if block to the same level of indent
as the original if statement
// Se answer 1

5 - You look at the following text:

if x == 6 :
print('Is 6')
print('Is Still 6')
print('Third 6')

It looks perfect but Python is giving you an 'Indentation Error' on the second
print statement. What is the most likely reason?
//This is very tricky so let's go step by step.

Python thinks 'Still' is a mis-spelled word in the string


//Python doesn't check for the grammar of your spelling inside the "string"

In order to make humans feel inadequate, Python randomly emits 'Indentation Errors'
on perfectly good code -
after about an hour the error will just go away without any changes to your program
// Well.... this is ridiculous
Python has reached its limit on the largest Python program that can be run
// As long you have the memory and the CPU power, your program can be as large
as you want.

Answer: You have mixed tabs and spaces in the file


// This is confusing, but in some text editors, the tabs are not the same as
the 4 spaces indent
and that calls for an indent error even if the screen seems the same.

7 - What is the Python reserved word that we use in two-way if tests to indicate
the block of code that is
to be executed if the logical test is false?

Answer: else
//The curly brackets are not words and the other two are not in the list of
reserved words.

8 - What will the following code print out?

x = 0
if x < 2 :
print('Small')
elif x < 10 :
print('Medium')
else :
print('LARGE')
print('All done')

Answwer: Small All done


// This is tricky, you may think that all the statements are valid, and thats
is true, "x" can run all the options.
But you can only run the first statement that accomplishes the parameters, then
the final "print" because
is de-indent and don't take part in the if-else statement.

9 - For the following code,

if x < 2 :
print('Below 2')
elif x >= 2 :
print('Two or more')
else :
print('Something else')

What value of 'x' will cause 'Something else' to print out?

Answer: This code will never print 'Something else' regardless of the value for 'x'
// The code evaluates a number less than 2 or "from" 2 to up, there is no room
for another number.
10 - In the following code (numbers added) - which will be the last line to execute
successfully?

(1) astr = 'Hello Bob'


(2) istr = int(astr)
(3) print('First', istr)
(4) astr = '123'
(5) istr = int(astr)
(6) print('Second', istr)

Answwer: 1
// When trying to parse "astr" to "int", that contains the string 'Hello Bob',
you get an error
you cannot parse strings into numbers

11 - For the following code:

astr = 'Hello Bob'


istr = 0
try:
istr = int(astr)
except:
istr = -1

Answer: -1
//You get an error whe try to parse a "string" to "int" and then the "except"
is executed.
