Question 1

What is the primary purpose of a loop structure in Python?

A
To repeat a block of code multiple times or until a condition is met
B
To handle unexpected errors
C
To define new functions
D
To convert values to different types
2

Question 2

Which loop structure is ideal when you know the exact number of iterations in advance?

A
for loop
B
while loop
C
try loop
D
lambda loop
3

Question 3

Why might a developer choose a while loop instead of a for loop?

A
Because the number of iterations depends on a condition rather than a fixed count
B
Because while loops are always faster
C
Because for loops cannot handle conditions
D
Because while requires fewer lines of code
4

Question 4

A developer wants to scan through a list to find any element that meets a condition, stopping immediately when found. Which loop control statement is appropriate?

A
break
B
continue
C
return
D
pass
5

Question 5

Which statement is used to skip the remainder of the current loop iteration and immediately begin the next one?

A
continue
B
break
C
stop
D
exit
6

Question 6

A loop is processing user input until the user types 'quit'. Why is a while loop commonly used for this pattern?

A
Because input-based repetition fits a condition-driven loop
B
Because for loops cannot process text
C
Because while automatically stops on invalid input
D
Because while loops execute only once
7

Question 7

What happens if the condition of a while loop is always True and contains no break statement?

A
The loop becomes infinite and never terminates
B
The loop runs exactly once
C
The loop automatically ends after 100 iterations
D
Python restarts the loop condition
8

Question 8

Which built-in function is commonly used to generate numeric sequences for iteration in a for loop?

A
range()
B
seq()
C
iterate()
D
loop()
9

Question 9

Why might someone use a nested loop in a program?

A
To iterate through multi-dimensional data structures such as grids or matrices
B
To speed up single-loop processing
C
To avoid writing conditions
D
To eliminate the need for functions
10

Question 10

A program processes thousands of customer transactions stored in a list. For each transaction, the system needs to verify several conditions and then compute summary values. Why is a for loop ideal for this task?

A
Because each transaction is processed sequentially, making a for loop’s iteration pattern a natural fit
B
Because while loops cannot iterate over lists
C
Because for loops automatically validate data
D
Because for loops run faster than all other structures
11

Question 11

A developer is collecting sensor readings until a stable reading is found (e.g., a value above a certain threshold for several consecutive checks). Why might a while loop be a more intuitive structure than a for loop?

A
Because the number of iterations depends entirely on unpredictable, externally changing conditions
B
Because while loops run faster than for loops
C
Because for loops cannot use break statements
D
Because while loops do not require indentation
12

Question 12

A nested loop is used in a scheduling program where the outer loop iterates over days and the inner loop iterates over time slots. What is a common challenge associated with nested loops in such scenarios?

A
Nested loops can become slow and harder to reason about as the number of iterations multiplies
B
Python does not support more than one level of looping
C
Inner loops ignore variables from outer loops
D
Nested loops execute only half as many iterations
13

Question 13

A data-cleaning script repeatedly prompts a user for numeric input until a valid number is entered. Why is this pattern suited to a while loop?

A
Because the repetition continues until some condition—valid input—is satisfied
B
Because a for loop cannot read input at all
C
Because while loops automatically convert input values
D
Because a while loop completes in a single iteration
14

Question 14

When iterating over a dictionary to create formatted logs, why might the developer use a for key, value in dict.items() loop?

A
It provides direct access to both keys and their associated values during iteration
B
It restricts the loop to numeric items
C
It forces iteration in alphabetical order
D
It eliminates the need for variables
15

Sums the numbers to produce 12
B
Multiplies the values
C
Reverses the list
D

24

Question 24

A
They can significantly slow down computation due to exponential growth in operations
B
They cannot access variables outside the inner loop
C
They run only a single iteration
