This document contains a practice midterm exam for a CMPT 120 course, with 4 multiple choice questions about Python syntax and programs, and 3 coding questions - the first asks to modify a given string, the second asks to output two strings based on a user-input integer, and the third provides sample code to construct the requested strings in a single loop.

Q1 [4 marks] Select the correct answer. Fill out your answers in the bubble sheet provided at the end of this exam. (Check the last page)
1. Which of the following has a syntax error?
(a) num = input("enter a number") # Assume user enters 0 print(1 / int(num)) (b) a = 1 if (a = 1): print("a is equal to 1") (c) # Profit = 0.25 * total_sales total_sales = int(input("Enter total sales: ")) profit = 0.25 * total_sales print(profit) (d) None of the given option
2. What does this code output? pri
N=8 if N <= 3: print("up") elif N == 3: print("down") if N > 2: print("left") else: print("none")
(a) Left (b) None (c) Up (d) Down (e) Error
3. 15 % 3 == 0 (a) True (b) False 4. What are two kinds of programs that process high-level languages into low-level languages? (a) Interpreters and compilers (b) interpreters and executors (c) compliers and executors (d) interpreters, compilers and executors
Ques 2 [6 marks] What is the output of the following code?
aher string = "iamahero" print(string[3:-1])
b=5 buzz if b==4 and a==2: print("fizz") elif b>5: print("fizzbuzz") else: print("buzz")
Ques 3. Coding (a) [10 marks] Write a python code that receives a string from the user and then outputs a new string from the original string where all occurrences of its first character have been changed to '*' except for the first and third characters. # get input string = input("Enter a string: ") # Receive a string first_char = string[0] # Store the first character in a variable new_string = ""
for i in range(len(string)): # Loop over characters in
the given string, for string = hhi, #i range will be 0, 1,2 if(string[i] == first_char and i not in [0,2]): # Check if current character is equal #to the first character and is not first and third character new_string = new_string + '*' else: # Keep other characters new_string = new_string + string[i]
print("New string: " + new_string)
(b) [10 marks] Write a python code using a function asking the user to enter an integer number n. Construct, using one single loop, the string “1234…n” and the string “11223344..nn”. After the loop, print the two strings. Below is the output sample.
n=int(input("Enter an integer number: ")) # for loop for num in range (1, n+1): # for n =3, num = 1,2,3 # construct new strings new_string1 = new_string1 + str(num) new_string2 = new_string2 + str(num)*2 # repeating the character #print the strings print(new_string1) print(new_string2)
