intelligence, automation, scientific computing, and more.
Question 8: What are the two modes of Python programming, and how do they differ?
Answer 8:

Python has two modes of execution: Interactive mode and Script mode.
Interactive mode is for immediate interaction and testing small pieces of code.
Script mode is used for writing and saving longer programs for future use.
Question 9: How is Python's programming cycle different from that of conventional
programming languages?

Answer 9:

Python's programming cycle is shorter than that of conventional languages.

Python programs don't require compilation and linking.
Python is processed at runtime, which allows for dynamic module reloading.
Editing and reloading parts of a current application are possible.
Question 10: What is the purpose of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)?

Answer 10:

An IDE is a program dedicated to software development.

It includes features like code editing, building, execution, debugging, and source
control.
IDEs support various programming languages and offer many features.
Question 11: How can you install Python on a Windows system?

Answer 11:

Download the latest release of Python from the official website

(https://www.python.org).
Select the Python version to download and click "Install Now."
Question 12: What is the purpose of comments in Python code?

Answer 12:

Comments are used to explain Python code, improve code readability, and prevent
code execution during testing.
Question 13: What are the rules for naming Python identifiers?

Answer 13:

Identifiers must start with an alphabet or underscore.

Subsequent characters can be letters, digits, or underscores.
Identifiers must not contain spaces or special characters.
Identifier names are case-sensitive.
Identifiers must not be Python keywords.
Question 14: How can you declare variables in Python and assign values to them?

Answer 14:

Python variables are created automatically when you assign a value to them using
the equal (=) operator.
Question 15: How can you check the data type of a variable in Python?

Answer 15:

You can use the type() function to check the data type of a variable.
Question 16: What are the numeric data types in Python, and how are they
represented?
Answer 16:

Python has three numeric data types: integers (int), floating-point numbers
(float), and complex numbers (complex).
Integers are whole numbers, floats have decimal points, and complex numbers are
represented as real + imaginary part.

Question: What is the sequence data type in Python?
Answer:

The sequence data type in Python is an ordered collection of similar or different

data types.
Sequences allow storing multiple values in an organized and efficient fashion.
Flashcard 2
Question: Name some of the sequence types in Python.
Answer:

Python String
Python List
Python Tuple
Flashcard 3
Question: How are Python strings represented?
Answer:

Strings in Python are arrays of bytes representing Unicode characters.

A string is a collection of one or more characters enclosed in single quotes,
double quotes, or triple quotes.
Python does not have a separate character data type; a character is a string of
length one, represented by the str class.
Python strings are immutable, meaning that operations on strings always produce new
string objects of the same type instead of mutating an existing string.
Flashcard 4
Question: What is a Python List, and what are its characteristics?
Answer:

Lists in Python are ordered collections of data.

List items can be of different data types.
Lists can be created by placing elements inside square brackets.
List items are ordered, changeable, and can contain duplicate values.
A list in Python is an object of the list class.
Flashcard 5
Question: What is a Python Tuple, and what differentiates it from a list?
Answer:

A tuple is an ordered sequence of items in Python, similar to a list.

The main difference is that tuples are immutable, meaning they cannot be modified
once created.
Tuples are created using parentheses ().
Tuples, like lists, can contain items of different data types.
Data items separated by commas without enclosing symbols are treated as a tuple by
default.
Flashcard 6
Question: What is a Python Dictionary, and how can it be created?
Answer:

A Python dictionary is an unordered collection of key-value pairs.

It is used to store data values in the format of key-value pairs.
Dictionaries can be created by placing a sequence of elements within curly braces
{}, separated by commas.
Keys must be unique and immutable, while values can be of any data type.
Dictionaries are objects of the built-in dict class.
Flashcard 7
Question: What is a Python Set, and what are its characteristics?
Answer:

A set in Python is an unordered collection of data types.

Sets are iterable, mutable, and do not allow duplicate elements.
The order of elements in a set is undefined.
Sets can store only immutable objects such as numbers, strings, or tuples.
A set is an object of the built-in set class.
Flashcard 8
Question: What are the two boolean values in Python, and how can they be obtained?
Answer:

Python boolean type represents either True or False.

You can obtain these values using the True and False keywords or the bool()
function, which evaluates expressions and returns either True or False.
Flashcard 9
Question: How are operators and operands defined in Python?
Answer:

Operators are special symbols that represent computations, such as addition or

multiplication.
Operands are the values the operator acts upon.
An expression is a combination of operators and operands that computes a value when
executed by the Python interpreter.
Flashcard 10
Question: Name and describe the seven categories of operators in Python.
Answer:

Arithmetic Operators: Used for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and

modulus operations.
Comparison (Relational) Operators: Used to compare values for conditions.
Bitwise Operators: Operate on binary representations of numbers.
Logical Operators: Used to combine or negate boolean values.
Assignment Operators: Used to assign values to variables.
Membership Operators: Used to test whether a value is present in a sequence like a
list or string.
Identity Operators: Used to check if two values reference the same memory location.
