Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs):

Q1: What does IDLE stand for in Python?

A: Integrated Development and Learning Environment

B: Integrated Design and Learning Editor

C: Interactive Development and Learning Environment

D: Interactive Design and Learning Editor

Ans: A

IDLE is an acronym for Integrated Development and Learning Environment, which is a tool that helps you write, test, and run Python code.

Q2: What is the correct way to cast a user input into an integer in Python?

A: int(input("Enter a number: "))

B: float(input("Enter a number: "))

C: str(input("Enter a number: "))

D: num(input("Enter a number: "))

Ans: A

To convert user input into an integer, you need to wrap the input() function with int(). This tells Python to treat the input as a whole number.

Q3: What is the purpose of using a flowchart in programming?

A: To visually represent the logic and flow of a program

B: To write the actual code for a program

C: To debug and fix errors in a program

D: To store data and variables in a program

Ans: A

Flowcharts are used to visually plan and represent the steps and decision-making process of a program before writing the actual code.

Q4: Which operator is used in Python to check if two values are not equal?

A: ==

B: !=

C: <>

D: ~=

Ans: B

The != operator is used in Python to check if two values are not equal to each other.

Q5: What is the correct way to output the string "Hello, World!" in Python?

A: print("Hello, World!")

B: output("Hello, World!")

C: display("Hello, World!")

D: show("Hello, World!")

Ans: A

The print() function is used in Python to display output on the screen. To print the string "Hello, World!", you would use print("Hello, World!").

Fill in the Blanks:

Q1: The process of converting data from one type to another is called ____________.

Ans: Casting

Q2: Variables in Python are used to store ____________ in the computer's memory.

Ans: Data

Q3: The ____________ function in Python allows your program to pause and wait for the user to enter input.

Ans: input()

Q4: In the order of operations (BIDMAS), the letter "M" stands for ____________.

Ans: Multiplication

Q5: The process of finding and fixing errors in your code is called ____________.

Ans: Debugging

True/False:

Q1: In Python, you need to worry about data types, as the language does not automatically figure it out.

Ans: True

Unlike Scratch, which automatically handles data types, Python requires you to explicitly specify the data type when working with variables and values.

Q2: The != operator in Python is used to check if two values are equal.

Ans: False

The != operator is used to check if two values are not equal. To check if two values are equal, you would use the == operator.

Q3: A flowchart is a visual representation of the actual code for a program.

Ans: False

A flowchart is a visual representation of the logic and flow of a program, not the actual code itself. It is used for planning before writing the code.

Q4: In Python, the print() function is used to display output on the screen.

Ans: True

The print() function is used in Python to display output or text on the screen.

Q5: The order of operations in Python follows the BIDMAS rule.

Ans: True

Python follows the BIDMAS (Brackets, Indices, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) rule when evaluating expressions with multiple operations.

Match the Following:

Ans: 1 - a, 2 - b, 3 - c, 4 - d, 5 - e
