QUESTION 1
What are the four fundamental elements that make a language?

A. An alphabet, phonetics, phonology, and semantics
B. An alphabet, a lexis, phonetics, and semantics
C. An alphabet, morphology, phonetics, and semantics
D. An alphabet, a lexis, a syntax, and semantics

Answer: D

Explanation:
Topics: language alphabet lexis syntax semantics

Explanation:
We can say that each language (machine or natural, it doesn’t matter)
consists of the following elements:
An alphabet:
a set of symbols used to build words of a certain language
(e.g., the Latin alphabet for English,
the Cyrillic alphabet for Russian, Kanji for Japanese, and so on)
A lexis:
(aka a dictionary) a set of words the language offers its users
(e.g., the word “computer” comes from the English language dictionary,
while “cmoptrue” doesn’t;
the word “chat” is present both in English and French dictionaries,
but their meanings are different)
A syntax:
a set of rules (formal or informal, written or felt intuitively)
used to determine if a certain string of words forms a valid sentence
(e.g., “I am a python” is a syntactically correct phrase, while “I a python am” isn’t)
Semantics:
a set of rules determining if a certain phrase makes sense
(e.g., “I ate a doughnut” makes sense, but “A doughnut ate me” doesn’t)


QUESTION 2
What will be the output of the following code snippet?
x = 1
y = 2
z = x
x = y
y = z
print(x, y)

A. 1 2
B. 2 1
C. 1 1
D. 2 2

Answer: B

Explanation:
Topic: copying an immutable object by assigning
Try it yourself:
x = 1
y = 2
z = x
print(z) # 1
x = y
print(x) # 2
y = z
print(y) # 1
print(x, y) # 2 1

Explanation:
Integer is an immutable data type.
The values get copied from one variable to another.
In the end x and y changed their values.


QUESTION 3
Python is an example of:

A. a machine language
B. a high-level programming language
C. a natural language

Answer: B

Explanation:
Topic: high-level programming language

Explanation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)


QUESTION 4
What will be the output of the following code snippet?
print(3 / 5)

A. 6
B. 0.6
C. 0
D. None of the above.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Topic: division operator
Try it yourself:
print(3 / 5) # 0.6
print(4 / 2) # 2.0

Explanation:
The division operator does its normal job.
And remember the division operator ALWAYS returns a float.


QUESTION 5
Strings in Python are delimited with:

A. backslashes (i.e., \)
B. double quotes (i.e., “) or single quotes (i.e., ‘)
C. asterisks (i.e., *)
D. dollar symbol (i.e., $)

Answer: B

Explanation:
Topics: strings quotes
Try it yourself:
print(“Hello”) # Hello
print(‘World’) # World

Explanation:
Unlike in other programming languages, in Python
double quotes and single quotes are synonyms for each other.
You can use either one or the other.
The result is the same.
