D522 WGU PRACTICE EXAM WITH 170+ QUESTIONS
& CORRECT ANSWERS
write()
Which function should be used to add data to a file, such as a network configuration
file?
To define a function with a default greeting
Based on the Python code snippet:
def greet(name, greeting = "Welcome to WGU"):
return f"{greeting}, {name}!"
What is the purpose of the first line of code?
Add a colon after def multiply_numbers(num1, num2).
This Python code snippet returns a syntax error when run:
def multiply_numbers(num1, num2)
result = num1 * num2
return result
num1 = 5
num2 = 8
print(multiply_numbers(num1, num2))
Which code adjustment will resolve the syntax error?
List
Based on the Python snippet:
devices = ["router01", "switch01", "modem01", "gateway01", "printer01"]
Which data structure is being used to store the names for various types of devices
within devices?
Converts the user's input into an integer and sums it
Based on the Python snippet:
value = input("Enter a number: ")
result = int(value) + 10
print(result)
What purpose does result = int(value) + 10 serve?
Decrease the indentation of the else statement.
This Python snippet checks the new processing speed of an updated computer.
However, the snippet throws an error when ran.
,def check_processing_speed(current_speed, threshold_speed):
is_fast_processing = current_speed > threshold_speed
if is_fast_processing:
print(f"The processing speed of {current_speed} GHz is fast.")
else:
print(f"The processing speed of {current_speed} GHz is not fast enough. Consider an
upgrade.")
current_speed = 4
threshold_speed = 2
check_processing_speed(current_speed, threshold_speed)
Which code adjustment will provide the intended response by addressing the error?
Tuple
A developer is creating a Python script to capture metrics for different network
interfaces on a router, with each set of metrics treated as a single, immutable record.
The stored record will represent a snapshot of metrics for a specific network interface at
a given point in time to capture historical records for future analysis.
Which data structure should be used to store the recorded metrics based on the
specifications?
numbers[3]
Based on the Python list:
numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40]
What is the index position of the element "40"?
Ordered and unchangeable
Which characteristics are associated with tuples in Python?
Missing colons at the end of the if and else lines
Based on the Python code snippet:
port = input("Secure Web access? Y/N: ")
if port == "Y"
print("Use port 443.")
else
print("Use port 80.")
Which error is present in the snippet?
Greater than b
Based on the Python code snippet:
import math
a = 12
b = math.sqrt(121)
if a > b:
print("Greater than b")
, elif a < b:
print("Less than b")
else:
print("Equal")
Which output is provided when the snippet is executed?
5
Based on the Python code snippet:
total = 0
count = 0
while total < 15:
count += 1
total += count
How many iterations must be completed for the variable total to equal 15?
20
Based on the Python code snippet:
sum = 0
values = [2,4,6,8]
for number in values:
if sum < 20:
sum = sum + number
print(sum)
What is the output of print(sum)?
router_id += 5
The Python snippet has a logic error causing an infinite loop.
router_id = 100
while router_id <= 100:
if router_id % 8 == 0:
print(f"Router {router_id}: Configuration audit passed. No security
vulnerabilities found.")
else:
print(f"Router {router_id}: Security alert - Action required.")
router_id -= 5
Which replacement line of code will fix the logic error while still providing an output?
Increase the indentation of the except block to match the try block.
The Python snippet is intended to create directories that correspond to the names in a
list.
import os
def automate_system_tasks(directory_names):
