PROBLEM TYPE #2: SHORT ANSWER
Short Answer – Sample Question ◦ Explain what a Boolean expression is and why you would use one while programming. Give an example in a short code.
Short Answer – Sample Question ◦ Explain what a Boolean expression is and why you would use one while programming. Give an example in a short code. Boolean expressions are conditional statements that compare two or more different values, using an operator (and, or, not, >, =, <=, ==) These expressions always hold a value of either True or False They are normally seen as the conditions of an “IF” statement
Short Answer – Sample Question ◦ Identify two different functions that convert one data type to another. Then use each in an example code and explain when you would use it in an actual program.
Short Answer – Sample Question ◦ Identify two different functions that convert one data type to another. Then use each in an example code and explain when you would use it in an actual program. str(argument) – converts any data type into a string literal int(argument) – converts an argument into an integer, but it must be given that it CAN be converted into an integer, (strings will cauase an error), for floats, it will always round the number down float(argument) – converts an argument into a float, given that the argument CAN be converted into a float
Short Answer – Sample Question ◦ Explain how the “and” and “or” operators work. Write a short code to show an example of each and describe how you would use it in an actual program.
Short Answer – Sample Question ◦ Explain how the “and” and “or” operators work. Write a short code to show an example of each and describe how you would use it in an actual program. The “and” operator checks for two conditions simultaneously and both conditions must hold True in order for the Boolean expression to hold True. The “or” operator checks for two conditions as well, but only one of them needs to hold True in order for the expression to hold True. It can be though of as checking one of two conditions.
Short Answer – Sample Question ◦ What’s the difference between using an “ELIF” statement and a nested decision structure? Describe both individually and explain the difference between them.
Short Answer – Sample Question ◦ What’s the difference between using an “ELIF” statement and a nested decision structure? Describe both individually and explain the difference between them. An ELIF statement is in essence the same thing as a nested decision structure. All ELIF statements can be written using a nested structure, ELIF’s are purely for convenience. However, they are very convenient because an ELIF statement extends a single decision structure while, any time an IF statement is written, you create a new decision structure, whether nested or not.

PROBLEM TYPE #4: DEBUGGING
Types of Errors ◦ Syntax errors: the code does not follow the rules for the language; for example, a single quote is used where a double quote is needed, or a colon is missing, or a keyword is used as a variable name print ( “ Hello, world! ’ )
Types of Errors ◦ Runtime errors: in this case, your code is fine but the program does not run as expected (it “crashes”). For example, if your program is meant to divide two numbers, but the divisor is zero, a runtime error will occur. var1 = float( input (‘give me a number:’) ) number = var1 + 4 >> give me a number: seventeen thirty eight # runtime error
Types of Errors ◦ Logic errors: these can be the hardest to find. In this case, the program is correct from a syntax perspective, and it runs, but the result is not what you were looking for. For example, if your program prints “2 + 2 = 5” the answer is … clearly wrong. var = 3.49 print (var) >>
Types of Errors ◦ Please pay close attention this time around to naming the type of error that is being made ◦ Realize the most common error is a syntax error, at least when looking at the source code Example: x = 3 print(x + “4”) # this is considered a syntax error because you # are trying to add an integer to a string
