Sample questions

A taste of the difficulty level — click a question to reveal the answer.

Q1. What is the output of: print([1, 2, 3] * 2)Click to reveal answer ▾

A. [2, 4, 6]

B. [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3] ✓

C. [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]]

D. TypeError

Why: Multiplying a list by an integer repeats it — it does not multiply the elements. Element-wise math needs a loop, comprehension, or NumPy.

Q2. Which data type is immutable?Click to reveal answer ▾

A. list

B. dict

C. tuple ✓

D. set

Why: Tuples cannot be changed after creation, which also makes them hashable and usable as dictionary keys. Lists, dicts and sets are all mutable.

Q3. What does my_string[::-1] return?Click to reveal answer ▾

A. The first character

B. The string reversed ✓

C. An IndexError

D. The string without its last character

Why: Slice syntax is [start:stop:step] — a step of -1 walks the sequence backwards, producing the reverse. The classic one-line string reversal.

Q4. What is the output of: print(type({}))Click to reveal answer ▾

A. <class 'set'>

B. <class 'dict'> ✓

C. <class 'tuple'>

D. <class 'list'>

Why: Empty curly braces create an empty dictionary, not a set. An empty set must be written set() — a favourite Python trick question.

Q5. Which statement about Python functions is TRUE?Click to reveal answer ▾

A. Default arguments are evaluated on every call

B. A function can return multiple values as a tuple ✓

C. Functions cannot be passed as arguments

D. Lambda functions can contain multiple statements

Why: return a, b packs values into a tuple automatically. Defaults are evaluated once at definition (the mutable-default trap), functions are first-class objects, and lambdas allow exactly one expression.
