The Missing Input (1 Mark)

A program asks for a PIN code. Complete the code to store the user's input in the variable pin.

Examiner's Notes

Using the input() function correctly with standard variable assignment.

print("Welcome")
# TODO: Get input
pin = ...

print("Checking " + pin)

Fixing the Math (2 Marks)

This code crashes because input() returns a string. Cast it to an Integer so the math works.

age = input("Enter age: ")
# This will fail without casting
next_age = age + 1
print(next_age)

Joining Strings (1 Mark)

Join the two strings together and print the result: "HelloEveryone".

w1 = "Hello"
w2 = "Everyone"
print(...)

Shopping Math (1 Mark)

Calculate the total price for 5 items at 10 each.

items = 5
price = 10
total = ...
print(total)

Pass or Fail (2 Marks)

Check the score. If it's 50 or more, print "Pass". Else print "Fail".

score = 60
if score ... :
    print("Pass")
else:
    ...

Status Update (1 Mark)

Set the variable `is_active` to True.

is_active = ...
print(is_active)

Pick a Color (1 Mark)

Print the 3rd item in the list ("Green"). Remember Index starts at 0!

colors = ["Red", "Blue", "Green", "Yellow"]
print(colors[...])

Trace Code (1 Mark)

What is the final value of `x`? Print it.

x = 10
x = x - 4
# print x
...

Logic Error (1 Mark)

The user should pass if they are 18 OR have a ticket. Fix the mistake.

age = 15
ticket = True
# Must be 18 OR have ticket
if age >= 18 and ticket == True:
    print("Valid")

Call Function (1 Mark)

Call the function `double` with the number 5 and print the result.

def double(n):
    return n * 2

# Call it
print(...)

Float Times (1 Mark)

Multiply 5 by 2.5 and print the result.

x = 5
y = 2.5
print(...)

String Slicing (1 Mark)

Print the first two letters of "Python" (Result: "Py").

word = "Python"
print(word[...])

Countdown (1 Mark)

Complete the range to print 3, 2, 1.

for i in range(..., ..., -1):
    print(i)

Add to List (1 Mark)

Add "Purple" to the end of the colors list.

colors = ["Red", "Green"]
# Add here
...
print(colors)

Traffic Lights (2 Marks)

If light is "Green", print "Go". Else print "Stop".

light = "Green"
if ... :
    print("Go")
else:
    print(...)

Modulo Remainder (1 Mark)

Calculate the remainder of 10 / 3 using Modulo.

result = 10 ... 3
print(result)

Swap Variables (2 Marks)

Swap the values of a and b using the temporary variable `t`.

a = 10
b = 20
t = a
a = ...
b = ...
print(a)
print(b)

Syntax Fix (1 Mark)

Fix the syntax error in the If statement.

x = 5
if x = 5:
    print("Fixed")

Logic Gates (1 Mark)

What is (True AND False) OR True? Print the result.

# result = ...
print(...)

Return Value (1 Mark)

Make the function return the value of a squared.

def square(a):
    ...

print(square(5))

Update Score

Update the variable `score` to 20.

score = 10\nscore = ...\nprint(score)

Length of String

Print the length of the string "Exam".

text = "Exam"\nprint(...)

Subtraction

Subtract 5 from 10 and print.

print(...)

Repeat String

Print "Go" 3 times.

print(...)

Replace Item

Change the first item of `nums` to 5.

nums = [1, 2]\nnums[0] = ...\nprint(nums)

Not Equal

Print True if 5 is not equal to 10.

print(...)

Less Than

Print True if 5 is less than 10.

print(...)

If/Elif

If x > 10 print "Big", elif x > 0 print "Medium".

x = 5\nif x > 10:\n    print("Big")\n...

Explicit Logic

Set `ticket = True`. Print "Valid" if `age >= 18` or `ticket`.

age = 15\nticket = ...\nif ... :\n    print("Valid")

Int + Float
