user

A _____ is a name that references a value in the computer's memory.

variable

when a value in memory is no longer referenced by a variable

Calling the function

when programmers execute a function

// Operator

when the result is positive, fractional part thrown away; when the result is negative, number rounded away from zero to the nearest integer

This is an operator that raises a number to a power.

**

Difference between / and //

/ operator gives the result as a floating-point value // operator gives the result as a whole number

This operator performs integer division.

Program Development Cycle

1. Design the program *most important step 2. Write the code 3. Correct syntax errors 4. Test the program 5. Correct logic errors

Computer programs typically perform what three steps?

1. Input is received 2. Some process is performed on the input 3. Output is produced

3 Step Process

1. Input is received 2. Some process is performed on the input 3. Output is produced

What would the following display? a=5 b=2 c=3 result = a+b*c print(result)

11

Which of the following statements will cause an error?

17 = x

Assume the variables result, w, x, y, and z are all integers, and that w = 5, x = 4, y = 8, and z = 2. What value will be stored in result after each of the following statement executes? result = w//z

2

What would the following display? num = 99 num = 5 print(num)

5

+

Addition Adds two numbers

\"

Causes a double quote mark to be printed

\'

Causes a single quotation mark to be printed

/

Division Divides one number by another and gives the result as a floating-point number

**

Exponent Raises a number to a power

(T/F) If you print a variable that has not been assigned a value, the number 0 will be displayed.

an expression that uses operands of different data types

Exception

an unexpected error that occurs while a program is running, causing the program to halt if the error is not properly dealt with

Magic Number

an unexplained value that appears in a program's code

A(n) _____ makes a variable reference a value in the computer's memory.

assignment statement

Which Python statement divides 'a' by 3.14 and assigns the result to 'b'?

b = a/3.14

This built-in function can be used to convert an int value to a float.

float( )

A _____ is a diagram that graphically depicts the steps that take place in a program.

flowchart

Terminal Symbols

ovals appear at the top and bottom of flowchart marking start and end

Input and Output Symbol

parallelograms represents steps in which the program reads input or displays output

Math Expression

performs a calculation and gives a value

Assume the variable sales references a float value. Write a statement that displays the value rounded to two decimal points.

print(format(sales, '.2f'))

Debug

programmer finds and corrects logic errors in the program

Processing Symbols

rectangles represent steps in which the program performs some process on data, such as mathematical calculation

True

(T/F) The \t escape character advances the output to the next horizontal tab position.

True

When an operation is performed on an int and a float, the int value will be temporarily converted to a float and the result of the operation will be a float.

True

Line Continuation Character

a backslash \ and enables you to break a statement into multiple lines

Flowchart

a diagram that graphically depicts the steps that take place in a program
