Question 1

What is a computer program?

1 / 1 point

A file that gets printed by the Python interpreter.

The syntax and semantics of Python.

The overview of what the computer will have to do to solve some automation problem.

A step-by-step recipe of what needs to be done to complete a task, that gets executed by the computer.

Correct

Right on! Being able to write such programs is a super useful skill that you'll acquire through this course.

Question 2

What’s automation?

1 / 1 point

The inputs and outputs of a program.

The process of replacing a manual step with one that happens automatically.

Question 4

What are some characteristics of the Python programming language? Check all that apply.

1 / 1 point

Python programs are easy to write and understand.

Correct

Right on! Because the syntax used by Python is similar to the one used by the English language, Python programs are easy to write and understand.

The Python interpreter reads our code and transforms it into computer instructions.

Correct

You nailed it! We write our code using Python's syntax and semantics, and the interpreter transforms that into instructions that our computer executes.

It's an outdated language that's barely in use anymore.

We can practice Python using web interpreters or codepads as well as executing it locally.

Correct

Awesome! We can practice writing Python code with many different tools available to us, both online and offline.

5.

Question 5

How does Python compare to other programming languages?

1 / 1 point

Python is the only programming language that is worth learning.

Each programming language has its advantages and disadvantages.

It's always better to use an OS specific language like Bash or Powershell than using a generic language like Python.

Programming languages are so different that learning a second one is harder than learning the first one.

Correct

Woohoo! Each language has its pros and cons. The best language to choose will depend on the problem you are trying to solve.

Question 6

Write a Python script that outputs "Automating with Python is fun!" to the screen.

1 / 1 point

print("Automating with Python is fun!")

Correct

Great work! You're getting the hang of it!

3

color ='Yellow'

thing = 'sunshine'

print(color + " is the color of " + thing)

Correct

Nice job! By using variables we're getting Python to do the
work for us.

8.

Question 8

Keeping in mind there are 86400 seconds per day, write a program that calculates how many seconds there are in a week, if a week is 7 days. Print the result on the screen.

Note: Your result should be in the format of just a number, not a sentence.

1 / 1 point

1

print(86400 * 7)

Correct

Well done! You've used Python to calculate the number of
seconds in a week.

9.

Question 9

Use Python to calculate how many different passwords can be formed with 6 lower case English letters. For a 1 letter password, there would be 26 possibilities. For a 2 letter password, each letter is independent of the other, so there would be 26 times 26 possibilities. Using this information, print the amount of possible passwords that can be formed with 6 letters.

1 / 1 point

1

print(26**6)

Correct

Awesome job!  Notice how Python can make complicated
calculations so that we don't have to.

10.

Question 10

Most hard drives are divided into sectors of 512 bytes each. Our disk has a size of 16 GB. Fill in the blank to calculate how many sectors the disk has.

Note: Your result should be in the format of just a number, not a sentence.

5

disk_size = 16*1024*1024*1024

sector_size = 512

sector_amount = disk_size/sector_size

 

print(sector_amount)

Correct

You nailed it! Yet another calculation that we don't need to
do ourselves!
