Module 1 Completion TEST
Question 1
What is machine code?
• A low-level programming language consisting of binary digits/bits that the computer reads and understands
• A low-level programming language consisting of hexadecimal digits that make up high-level language
instructions
• A medium-level programming language consisting of the assembly code designed for the computer processor
• A high-level programming language consisting of instruction lists that humans can read and understand
Question 2
What are the four fundamental elements that make a language?
• An alphabet, phonetics, phonology, and semantics
• An alphabet, morphology, phonetics, and semantics
• An alphabet, a lexis, phonetics, and semantics
• An alphabet, a lexis, a syntax, and semantics
Question 3
What do you call a file containing a program written in a high-level programming language?
• A machine file
• A code file
• A target file
• A source file
Question 4
What is true about compilation? (Select two answers)
• Both you and the end user must have the compiler to run your code
• It tends to be slower than interpretation
• The code is converted directly into machine code executable by the processor
• It tends to be faster than interpretation
Question 5
What is the best definition of a script?
• It's an error message generated by the interpreter
• It's an error message generated by the compiler
• It's a text file that contains sequences of zeroes and ones
• It's a text file that contains instructions which make up a Python program
Question 6
Select the true statements. (Select two answers)
• Python is free, open-source, and multiplatform
• Python is a good choice for creating and executing tests for applications
• Python is a good choice for low-level programming, e.g., when you want to implement an effective driver
• Python 3 is backwards compatible with Python 2
Question 7
What is Cpython?
• It's the default, reference implementation of Python, written in the C language
• It's a programming language that is a superset of the C language, designed to produce Python-like performance
with code written in C
• It's the default, reference implementation of the C language, written in Python
• It's a programming language that is a superset of Python, designed to produce C-like performance with code
written in Python
Question 8
What do you call a command-line interpreter which lets you interact with your OS and execute Python commands and
scripts?
• An editor
• Jython
• A console
• A compiler
Question 9
What is the expected behavior of the following program?
print("Hello!")
• The program will output ("Hello!") to the screen
• The program will generate an error message on the screen
• The program will output "Hello!" to the screen
• The program will output Hello! to the screen
Question 10
What is the expected behavior of the following program?
prin("Goodbye!")
• The program will output "Goodbye!" to the screen
• The program will generate an error message on the screen
• The program will output ("Goodbye!") to the screen
• The program will output Goodbye! to the screen
