4-8-1: What is printed after the following code is run?

name = "John Smith"
words = " likes to play outside."
print (name + words)

• namewords
• This would be true if it was print ("name" + "words"), but name and words are not in quotes so the value of each will be printed.
• name + words
• This would be true if it was print ("name + words").
• John Smith + likes to play outside.
• The would be true if it was print (name + " +" + words).
• John Smith likes to play outside.
• When you use a variable name in a print statement the value of the variable is printed. The + sign is used to join strings together.

4-8-2: In the following code, what does the “=” do?

cat = "meow"

• Tests to see if the values on each side of the expression are equal
• This would be true if it was cat == "meow"
• Assigns the name on the left to the value on the right
• A name on the left and a value on the right creates a variable with that name and that value.
• Copies the value from the right to the left
• This would be true if it was a variable name on the right instead of a string.
• Creates two new objects, one named cat and one named meow
• This creates a variable and sets its value. It doesn't create an object.

4-8-3: Which of the following line(s) of code will print out “My name is Morrissey”?

I.   print (My name is Morrissey)
II.  var1 = "My name is "
     var2 = "Morrissey"
     var3 = var1 + var2
     print (var3)
III. M = "M"
     orrissey = "orrissey"
     print ("My name is " + Morrissey)

• I only
• There are no quotes around the string so this gives an error.
• II only
• When you use '+' it appends the strings together so this will print the correct string
• III only
• Answer III will not work since there is no variable called Morrissey.
• all of them
• Answer II will work, but not answer I or answer III. Number I has no quotes around the string. In III there is no variable called Morrissey.

4-8-4: What is printed after the following executes?

result = 5 % 2
print(result)

• 0
• This would be true if it was 4 % 2 since 2 goes in evenly into 4.
• 2
• This would be true if you were trying to divide 5 by a number that was larger than 5.
• 5
• This would be true if it was 5 % 3.
• 1
• 2 goes into 5 2 times with a remainder of 1.

4-8-5: What is the value of var2 after the following code executes?

var2 = 3
var1 = 10
var2 = var1
var3 = var2
var1 = 18

• 3
• While var2 starts out set to 3 it changes when it is set to a copy of the value in var1.
• 10
• While var2 starts out set to 3 it changes to a copy of the value in var1 which is 10.
• 18
• This is the value of var1 after the code executes.
• 0
• You would have to set var2 to 0 at some point for this to be true.

4-8-6: What is the value of sentence after the following code executes?

sentence = "THIS IS A TEST"
better = sentence.lower()
betterStill = better.capitalize() + "."
more = sentence + ", really!"

• THIS IS A TEST
• Strings are immutable. Any change to a string returns a new string.
• this is a test
• This would be true if the question asked for the value of better.
• This is a test
• This would be true if the question asked for the value of betterStill
• This is a test, really!
• This would be true if the question asked for the value of more.
