What will be printed to the screen if the inputs given to the program below are 1.2, -4, hi, 5 ? def retrieve_positive_number(): while True: try: number = int(input("Enter a positive number: ")) if number > 0: return number print("The number must be positive!") except ValueError: print("That wasn't a number!") print(retrieve_positive_number())

Enter a positive number: 1.2 That wasn't a number! Enter a positive number: -4 The number must be positive! Enter a positive number: hi That wasn't a number! Enter a positive number: 5 5

Why do programmers use try and except statements when their code might throw an exception?

To handle exceptions gracefully and either handle the error or print out a useful error message.

What is the purpose of exceptions?

To indicate that something has gone wrong, and the program does not know how to continue

What is the output of this program? Assume the user enters "kipp52", then "baseball45". # Checks if the user entered the correct username def validate_user(username): if username != "coder43" and username != "goodHacker90" and username != "baseball45": return False else: return True # Gets the user's username def get_username(): while True: username = input("Enter your username: ") if validate_user(username): print("Welcome!") return username else: print("That's not a valid username. Try again") print("Welcome to CodeHS!") get_username()

Welcome to CodeHS! Enter your username: kipp52 That's not a valid username. Try again Enter your username: baseball45 Welcome!

Consider the following functions. def fn_a(num): if num > 3: print("Fizz") def fn_b(num): if num > 2 and num < 4: print("Fizz") Which for loop would print Fizz Fizz for i in range(6): fn_b(i+1) for i in range(6): fn_a(i) fn_b(i) for i in range(6): fn_a(i) for i in range(6): fn_b(i)

for i in range(6): fn_a(i)

What line of code should be written after the function definition to add two single-digit values and print the sum? def get_single_digit(): while True: try: num = int(input("Enter a single-digit positive number: ")) if num > 9: print("Number must be less than 10") elif num < 0: print("Number must be positive.") else: return num except ValueError: print("That isn't a number!")

print(get_single_digit() + get_single_digit())

Which of the following options is NOT a valid Python function definition? # computes the surface area of a cube of side length 10 # def surface_area(): return 2*(100 + 100 + 100) # computes the surface area of a rectangular prism def surface_area(length, width=10, height): return 2*(length * width + width * height + height * length) # computes the surface area of a rectangular prism def surface_area(length, width, height): return 2*(length * width + width * height + height * length) # computes the surface area of a rectangular prism def surface_area(length, width, height=10): return 2*(length * width + width * height + height * length)

# computes the surface area of a rectangular prism def surface_area(length, width=10, height): return 2*(length * width + width * height + height * length) SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default argument
