Python
If you want a function to return two values, contained in variables x and y, which of the following methods will work?
- Include the statement "return [x, y]" - Include the statement "return (x, y)" - Include the statement "return x, y"
What does the following code print? x = -10 if x < 0: print("The negative number ", x, " is not valid here.") print("This is always printed")
- The negative number -10 is not valid here - This is always printed
What is the output when the script below executes? def sub(x, y): return x - y print(sub(5, 8))
-3
What will the output be from this code? def sub(x, y): return x - y print(sub(5, 8))
-3
What will print with the statement: print(sub(5,9))?

In Python a module is:
A file containing Python definitions and statements intended for use in other Python programs.
Why would you define a function in order to make a request to a REST API for data?
A. Because that means you have to write less repeated code if you want to make a request to the same API more than once in the same program. B. Because writing functions to complete a complex process in your code makes it easier to read and easier to fix later. C. Because a lot of things stay the same among different requests to the same API.
Consider the following alternative way to swap the values of variables x and y. What's wrong with it? y = x x = y
At the end, x still has it's original value instead of y's original value.
One reason that lotteries don't use computers to generate random numbers is:
Because computers don't really generate random numbers, they generate pseudo-random numbers.
Why is it important to use a function like the params_unique_combination function in this caching pattern?
Because when requests.get encodes URL parameters, the params might be in any order, which would make it hard to compare one URL to another later on, and you could cache the same data multiple times.
