Short Answer (15)

1. How can short-circuit evaluation improve performance?

Answer: Once it has been determined that a compound condition is true or false regardless of the
remaining conditions, evaluating those conditions uses unnecessary time, and more so if the
condition is complex and time-consuming.

2. What does the following code output?

x = 10
y = 31
word = “python”
print ((x > y) and (((y % 2) == 1) or (word < “boa”)))

Answer: False

3. What does the following code output?

x = 10
y = 31
word = “python”
print (((x < y) and ((y % 2) == 1)) or (word < “boa”))

Answer: True

4. Simplify the following condition using a list.

(color == “red”) or (color == “blue”) or (color == “yellow”)

Answer: color in [“red”, “blue”, “yellow”]

5. Simplify the following condition.

(n >= 0) and (n < 100)

Answer: 0 <= n < 100

6. Why can’t you use the sort method in an assignment statement?

Ex., inventory = items.sort()

Answer: You cannot use it in an assignment statement because the method does not return a value
to be assigned. It simply reorders the items in the list in place.

7. What is the difference between = and ==?

© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc., Hoboken, NJ. All rights reserved.

Answer: The first, =, is an assignment operator that places a value in memory. The second, ==, is a
relational operator that checks for equality.

8. Condense the following statement.

if num > 0 == True:
x = 100

Answer: if num > 0

x = 100

9. Write code for the following flowchart.

Answer:

number = eval(input(“Enter an odd number: “))

while (number % 2 == 1):
print(“odd”)
number = eval(input(“Enter an odd number: “))

10. What is the output of the following program?

count = 5
while (count > 0):

© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc., Hoboken, NJ. All rights reserved.

 print(“Woot!”)
count -= 1

Answer:

Woot!
Woot!
Woot!
Woot!
Woot!
