PY_1

Which of the following is a reason why Python is a good first language for new programmers?

• Python has a simple and easy-to-read syntax.

• Python is not widely used in the industry.

• Python requires complex setup and configuration.

• Python is not suitable for beginners.

A console program is typically used for:

• Graphical user interface applications

• Command-line interface operations

• Web development

• Mobile app development

Python compiles and runs a program in terms of source code, bytecode, and the virtual machine. Which of the following is the correct order of these processes?

• Source code is compiled to bytecode, which is then executed by the virtual machine.

• Source code is executed directly by the virtual machine, which then compiles it to bytecode.

• Bytecode is compiled to source code, which is then executed by the virtual machine.

• The virtual machine compiles source code directly to bytecode, which is then executed.

Main memory and disk storage work together when a program is running by:

• Storing all data permanently in main memory.

• Using main memory for temporary data storage and disk storage for permanent data.

• Running programs directly from disk storage without using main memory.

• Using disk storage for temporary data and main memory for permanent data.

Distinguish between systems software and application software.

• Systems software manages hardware and runs the computer, while application software performs specific tasks for users.

• Application software manages hardware and runs the computer, while systems software performs specific tasks for users.

• Both systems software and application software perform the same functions.

• Systems software is used for entertainment purposes, while application software is used for business purposes.

Distinguish between testing and debugging.

• Testing is the process of identifying defects, while debugging is the process of fixing them.

• Testing and debugging are the same processes.

• Debugging is done before testing.

• Testing is only done after debugging.

Distinguish between syntax errors and runtime errors.

• Syntax errors occur during code execution, while runtime errors occur during code compilation.

• Syntax errors are detected by the compiler, while runtime errors are detected during program execution.

• Syntax errors are logical errors, while runtime errors are syntax errors.

• Syntax errors occur due to incorrect logic, while runtime errors occur due to incorrect syntax.

An exception is:

• A type of error that occurs during the execution of a program

• A successful execution of a program

• A syntax error in the code

• A type of data structure
