D522 WGU EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Python - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅interpreted programming language known for its simplicity,
readability, and versatility
supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional
programming, making it adaptable to different coding styles.
Python is - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅readable
dynamically typed
extensive standard library
cross plat
versatile
interpreted nature
Programming Paradigm - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅a fundamental style or approach to programming
that dictates how tasks should be structured and executed in each programming language. It
encompasses principles, concepts, and patterns that guide the design and organization of code.
imperative/procedural programming - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅focuses on describing a sequence of
steps to perform a task, procedures or routines.
object-oriented programming (OOP) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅organizes code around objects, which
encapsulate data and behavior
functional programming - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅emphasizes the use of functions and immutable
data for computation
declarative programming - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅describes what the program should accomplish
without specifying how to achieve it
,event-driven programming - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅reacts to events and user actions, triggering
corresponding functions
logic programming - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅defines a set of logical conditions and lets the system
deduce solutions
indentation - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅defines blocks of code. crucial for structure and nesting of
code blocks
(4 spaces)
comments - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅#
ignored by interpreter, for humans
Variable - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅used to store data, created by assigning a value to a name
Data Types - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅integers, floats, strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries
conditional statements - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅if, else, elif (else if)
Classes - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅(also objects) fundamental to object oriented programming in
python.
print () - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅used to output data to the console
print ("hello")
functions - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅defined using def

run python script in cmd prompt - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅python script.py
How to run phython script in Python3 - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅python3 script.py
Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅provide a more user-
friendly environment for coding, debugging, and running Python scripts
Markdown file - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅simple format used frequently to add styled text, images,
code snippets and more to coding repos serving as documentation
human readable
.md - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅markdown file
Consistent Indentation - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅All statements within the same block must be
indented by the same number of spaces.
input() - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅function, storing user entered info as strings
output() - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅functions, allowing the presentation of results or messages
format() - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅method, enhances output formatting by embedding variables in
strings
file I/O - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅through the open() functions enabling reading from and writing to
external files.
