Which of the following statements is false?
-True division (/) divides a numerator by a denominator and yields a floating-
point number with a decimal point.
Floor division (//) divides a numerator by a denominator, yielding the highest
integer that's not greater than the result. Python truncates (discards) the
fractional part.
-The expression - evaluates to -3.25.
-The expression -13 // 4 evaluates to -3. --CORRECT ANSWER--The
expression -13 // 4 evaluates to -3.
Which of the following statements is false?
-Python requires you to indent the statements in suites.
-Incorrect indentation of the statements in a suite can cause errors.
-Using the assignment symbol (=) instead of the equality operator (==) in an if
statement's condition is a common logic error.
-Using == in place of = in an assignment statement can lead to subtle problems.
--CORRECT ANSWER--Using the assignment symbol (=) instead of the
equality operator (==) in an if statement's condition is a common logic error.

,Which of statements a), b) or c) is false?
-A variable name, such as x, is an identifier.
-Each identifier may consist of letters, digits and underscores (_) but may not
begin with a digit.
-Python is case insensitive, so number and Number are the same identifier
despite the fact that one begins with a lowercase letter and the other begins with
an uppercase letter.
-All of the above statements are true. --CORRECT ANSWER--Python is case
insensitive, so number and Number are the same identifier despite the fact that
one begins with a lowercase letter and the other begins with an uppercase letter.
Which of the following statements is false?
-A string delimited by single quotes may include double-quote characters:
print('Display "hi" in quotes')
-A string delimited by double quotes may include single quote characters:
print("Display the name O'Brien")
-A string delimited by double quotes may not include double quotes.
-To avoid using \' and \" inside strings, you can enclose such strings in triple
quotes:
print(""""Display the name O'Brien"""") --CORRECT ANSWER--A string
delimited by double quotes may not include double quotes.

,Which of the following statements is false?
The following if statement uses the == comparison operator to determine
whether the values of variables number1 and number2 are equal:
if number1 == number2:print(number1, 'is equal to', number2)
Each if statement consists of the keyword if, the condition to test, and a colon
(:) followed by an indented body called a suite.
Each suite contains zero or more statements.
Forgetting the colon (:) after the condition is a common syntax error. --
CORRECT ANSWER--Each suite contains zero or more statements.
Which of the following statements is false?
The following assignment statement adds the values of variables x and y and
assigns the result to the variable total:
total = x + y
The preceding snippet is read, "total is assigned the value of x + y."
The = symbol is the assignment operator.
Page 3 of 73
, The right side of the = symbol always executes first, then the result is assigned
to the variable on the symbol's left side. --CORRECT ANSWER--The = symbol
is the assignment operator.
Which of the following statements is incorrect:
min(17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 43) is a valid call to built-in function min,
The range of values is simply the minimum through the maximum value.
Much of data science is devoted to getting to know your data.
All of the above are correct. --CORRECT ANSWER--All of the above are
correct.
When using IPython in interactive mode to evaluate a simple arithmetic
expression in a new session, which of the following is false?
The text "In [1]:" is a prompt, indicating that IPython is waiting for your input.
You can type ? for help or you can begin entering snippets
After you type an expression like 45 + 72 and press Enter, IPython reads the
snippet, evaluates it and prints its result in Out[1]:.
