Question 01
Which Python function is used to add data to a file?
a) write()
b) read()
c) append()
d) load()
Correct Answer: a) write()
Explanation: The write() function is used to add data to a file in Python. The read() function is for reading files, append() adds to the end, and load() is for loading content in some specific formats.
Question 02
Which of the following creates a default greeting function in Python?
a) def greet(name, greeting = “Hello”):
b) def greet(name, greeting = “Hi”):
c) def greet(name, greeting = “Welcome to WGU”):
d) def greet(name, greeting = “Good Morning”)
Correct Answer: c) def greet(name, greeting = "Welcome to WGU")
Explanation: The code defines a Python function with a default greeting parameter of "Welcome to WGU".
Question 03
How do you resolve the syntax error in this Python function?
def multiply_numbers(num1, num2)
result = num1 * num2
return result
a) Add parentheses around the return statement
b) Add a colon after the function definition
c) Remove the return statement
d) Add an equal sign
Correct Answer: b) Add a colon after the function definition
Explanation: A colon : is required after the function definition for proper syntax.
Question 04
Which Python data structure is used to store the following?
devices = [“router01”, “switch01”, “modem01”, “gateway01”, “printer01”]
a) Dictionary
b) Set
c) List
d) Tuple
Correct Answer: c) List
Explanation: The devices variable is storing a collection of strings in a list, which is an ordered and mutable sequence in Python.
Question 05
What does this Python code snippet do?
value = input(“Enter a number: “)
result = int(value) + 10
print(result)
a) Adds 10 to the value
b) Converts the input to a float
c) Subtracts 10 from the value
d) Multiplies the value by 10
Correct Answer: a) Adds 10 to the value
Explanation: The code converts the user's input into an integer and then adds 10 to it.
Question 06
How would you fix this error in the given Python code?
def check_processing_speed(current_speed, threshold_speed):
is_fast_processing = current_speed > threshold_speed
if is_fast_processing:
print(f”The processing speed of {current_speed} GHz is fast.”)
else:
print(f”The processing speed of {current_speed} GHz is not fast enough. Consider an upgrade.”)
a) Increase the indentation of the print statement inside the else block
b) Decrease the indentation of the if statement
c) Remove the f-string from the print statements
d) Add parentheses around the print statements
Correct Answer: a) Increase the indentation of the print statement inside the else block
Explanation: The else block should be indented correctly to align with Python's indentation rules.
Question 07
Which data structure is best suited for storing immutable network interface records?
a) List
b) Set
c) Dictionary
d) Tuple
Correct Answer: d) Tuple
Explanation: A tuple is an immutable sequence type in Python, making it ideal for storing records that should not be changed.
Question 08
What is the index of the element 40 in the list?
numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40]
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
Correct Answer: d) 3
Explanation: In Python, the list index starts at 0, so 40 is at index 3.
Question 09
What are the characteristics of tuples in Python?
a) Ordered and mutable
b) Unordered and unchangeable
c) Ordered and unchangeable
d) Unordered and mutable
Correct Answer: c) Ordered and unchangeable
Explanation: Tuples in Python are ordered collections of items and are immutable (unchangeable).
Question 10
What is the error in the following Python code?
port = input(“Secure Web access? Y/N: “)
if port == “Y”
print(“Use port 443.”)
else
print(“Use port 80.”)
a) Missing parentheses in the print statements
b) Missing colons at the end of if and else lines
c) Incorrect variable name
d) Indentation error
Correct Answer: b) Missing colons at the end of if and else lines
Explanation: Colons are required after the if and else statements.
Question 11
What will be the result of this Python expression?
result = 5 + 3 * 2
a) 10
b) 16
c) 11
d) 8
Correct Answer: c) 11
Explanation: According to the order of operations, multiplication is done before addition, so 3 * 2 = 6, and then 5 + 6 = 11.
Question 12
What is the purpose of the is operator in Python?
a) To compare the values of two objects
b) To check if two variables refer to the same object in memory
c) To compare the types of two objects
d) To assign a value to a variable
Correct Answer: b) To check if two variables refer to the same object in memory
Explanation: The is operator checks if two variables point to the same object, not if their values are equal.
Question 13
What is the result of this Python expression?
bool(0)
a) True
b) False
c) 0
d) None
Correct Answer: b) False
Explanation: In Python, 0 is considered False, while any non-zero number is considered True.
Question 14
Which method is used to return the number of elements in a list?
a) size()
b) length()
c) len()
d) count()
Correct Answer: c) len()
Explanation: The len() function is used to return the number of elements in a list or any iterable object.
Question 15
Which of the following is used to declare a function in Python?
a) func
b) function
c) def
d) declare
Correct Answer: c) def
Explanation: The def keyword is used to define a function in Python.
Question 16
What is the output of the following code?
print(3 ** 2)
a) 5
b) 6
c) 9
d) 8
Correct Answer: c) 9
Explanation: The ** operator is used for exponentiation in Python, so 3 ** 2 is 3 raised to the power of 2, which equals 9.
Question 17
How can you convert the string “123” into an integer in Python?
a) str(123)
b) int(“123”)
c) float(“123”)
d) list(“123”)
Correct Answer: b) int("123")
Explanation: The int() function converts a string or float into an integer, provided that the string represents a valid integer.
Question 18
What is the default value of the step parameter in Python’s string slicing?
a) 0
b) 1
c) -1
d) 2
Correct Answer: b) 1
Explanation: The step parameter in Python slicing defaults to 1, meaning that the slicing proceeds through the string one character at a time.
Question 19
Which of the following methods removes whitespaces from the beginning and the end of a string in Python?
a) strip()
b) trim()
c) remove()
d) rstrip()
Correct Answer: a) strip()
Explanation: The strip() method removes leading and trailing whitespaces from a string
Question 20
What will be the result of this Python code?
fruits = [‘apple’, ‘banana’, ‘cherry’]
print(fruits[-1])
a) apple
b) banana
c) cherry
d) IndexError
Correct Answer: c) cherry
Explanation: Negative indexing in Python starts from the end of the list. So -1 refers to the last element, which is "cherry".
