1. 

What is wrong with this Python loop:

n = 5while n > 0 :    print nprint 'All done'

This loop will run forever

The print 'All done' statement should be indented four spaces

There should be no colon on the while statement

while is not a Python reserved word

2. 

What does the break statement do?

Jumps to the "top" of the loop and starts the next iteration

Exits the currently executing loop

Exits the program

Resets the iteration variable to its initial value

3. 

What does the continue statement do?

Exits the program

Jumps to the "top" of the loop and starts the next iteration

Resets the iteration variable to its initial value

Exits the currently executing loop

4.

tot = 0 for i in [5, 4, 3, 2, 1] :    tot = tot + 1print tot

6. 

What is a good description of the following bit of Python code?

zork = 0for thing in [9, 41, 12, 3, 74, 15] :    zork = zork + thingprint 'After', zork

Compute the average of the elements in a list

Find the smallest item in a list

Sum all the elements of a list

Count all of the elements in a list

7. 

What will the following code print out?

smallest_so_far = -1for the_num in [9, 41, 12, 3, 74, 15] :   if the_num < smallest_so_far :      smallest_so_far = the_numprint smallest_so_far

Hint: This is a trick question and most would say this code has a bug - so read carefully

8. 

What is a good statement to describe the is operator as used in the following if statement:

if smallest is None :     smallest = value

Is true if the smallest variable has a value of -1

The if statement is a syntax error

Looks up 'None' in the smallest variable if it is a string

9.
