Select the true statements. (Select two answers)

• Python is free, open-source, and multiplatform
• Python 3 is backwards compatible with Python 2
• Python is a good choice for low-level programming, e.g., when you want to implement an effective driver

What is the expected behavior of the following program? prin("Goodbye!")

• The program will generate an error message on the screen
• The program will output Goodbye! to the screen
• The program will output "Goodbye!" to the screen

The \n digraph forces the print() function to:

• break the output line
• stop its execution
• duplicate the character next to the digraph

The value twenty point twelve times ten raised to the power of eight should be written as:

• 20E12.8
• 20.12E8.0
• 20.12*10^8
• 20.12E8

The ** operator:

• performs floating-point multiplication
• performs exponentiation
• performs duplicated multiplication
• does not exist

The result of the following division: 1 / 1

• is equal to 1.0
• cannot be predicted
• cannot be evaluated
• is equal to 1

Which of the following statements are true? (Select two answers)

• The right argument of the % operator cannot be zero.
• Addition precedes multiplication.
• The ** operator uses right-sided binding.
• The result of the / operator is always an integer value.

Left-sided binding determines that the result of the following expression: 1 // 2 * 3 is equal to:

• 4.5
• 0.16666666666666666
• 0
• 0.0
