Multiple Boolean expressions can be combined by using a logical operator to create ________ expressions.
Compound
An action in a single alternative decision structure is performed only when the condition is true. T/F
True
A Boolean variable can reference one of two values which are
True/False
executed because it is performed only when a specific condition is true.
conditionally
A(n) ________ structure is a logical design that controls the order in which a set of statements execute.
control
statement is used to create a decision structure.
if
Which of the following will hide the turtle if it is visible?
if turtle.isvisible(): turtle.hideturtle()
Python provides a special version of a decision structure known as the ___________ statement, which makes the logic of the nested decision structure simpler to write.
if-elif-else
statement will execute one block of statements if its condition is true or another block if its condition is false.
if-else
In Python the ________ symbol is used as the not-equal-to operator.
!=
In Python the ________ symbol is used as the equality operator.
==
Python allows you to compare strings, but it is not case sensitive. T/F
False
Python uses the same symbols for the assignment operator as for the equality operator. T/F
False
The Python language is not sensitive to block structuring of code. T/F
False
Decision structures are also known as selection structures. T/F
True
Expressions that are tested by the if statement are called Boolean expressions. T/F
True
Nested decision statements are one way to test more than one condition. T/F
True
Short -circuit evaluation is only performed with the not operator. T/F
True
The following code snippet will change the turtle's pen size to 4 if it is presently less than 4: if turtle.pensize() < 4: turtle.pensize(4) T/F
True
When using the ________ logical operator, both subexpressions must be true for the compound expression to be true.
and
Boolean variables are commonly used as _______________ to indicate whether a specific condition exists.
flags
The logical _______________ operator reverses the truth of a Boolean expression.
not
Which logical operators perform short-circuit evaluation?
not, and
When using the ________ logical operator, one or both of the subexpressions must be true for the compound expression to be true.
or
operator determines whether a specific relationship exists between two values.
relational
The following statement will check to see if the turtle's pen color is 'green': if turtle.pencolor() = 'green' T/F
False
The not operator is a unary operator which must be used in a compound expression. T/F
False
decision structure provides only one alternative path of execution.
Single alternative
The turtle.isdown() function returns _____________ if the turtle's pen is down.
true
symbol is used to represent a Boolean expression.
Diamond
The decision structure that has two possible paths of execution is known as
Dual alternative
The if statement causes one or more statements to execute only when a Boolean expression is true. T/F
True
expression is made up of two or more Boolean expressions.
compound
Which of the following is the correct if clause to determine whether choice is anything other than 10?
if choice != 10:
Which of the following will determine if the turtle's pen is up and will change it to down if that is the case?
if not(turtle.isdown()): turtle.pendown()
