25 Questions

~50 minutes

Question 1

In Python, what is the primary purpose of an if statement within a program’s flow?

To execute code only when a condition evaluates to True

To repeat code multiple times

To define a reusable function

To handle errors and exceptions

Question 2

Which part of a conditional chain is executed when none of the previous conditions evaluate to True?

The else block

The if block

The first elif block

No branch will ever run

Question 3

A developer wants to test several mutually exclusive conditions in sequence, ensuring only one branch executes. Which structure naturally supports this behavior?

An if/elif/else chain

Multiple independent if statements

A list comprehension

A try/except block

Question 4

Which value causes an if condition to be skipped because it is considered falsy in Python?

'text'

[1]

Question 5

When writing nested if statements, what is one common reason to avoid overly deep nesting?

Excessive nesting reduces readability and makes reasoning harder.

Python does not support nested conditions.

Nested conditions execute faster than flat logic.

If statements cannot appear inside blocks.

Question 6

A program receives a temperature reading and must categorize it into one of three groups: 'low' if below 15, 'ideal' if between 15 and 25, and 'high' for anything above 25. Which conditional structure most clearly expresses this multi-branch classification?

if, elif, else

Three separate if statements

Two try blocks and one except block

A loop with break statements

Question 7

During form validation, a system checks that an input value is not empty. If it is empty, the program displays a warning; otherwise, it proceeds. Why is this a common use case for a simple if/else structure?

Because it distinguishes between a valid and invalid path based on a single condition.

Because it requires evaluating multiple unrelated conditions.

Because a loop cannot handle validation.

Because else must always follow an error.

Question 8

A game awards bonus points if a player reaches a score of 100 or more, but gives no bonus otherwise. What is the clearest way to implement this rule?

Using if score >= 100: award bonus

Using a loop that repeats until score increases

Using in to check membership

Using a try block around the condition

Question 9

Why might a developer choose elif instead of writing another if when checking a second condition?

Because elif ensures the second condition is tested only if the first one fails.

Because elif always executes regardless of prior conditions.

Because elif can only be used once.

Because an if cannot be followed by another if.

Question 10

Consider a filtering system that checks whether a value is valid and also belongs to a permitted range. Why might a nested if statement be clearer than combining everything on one line?

Because nested conditions reflect a two-step decision: validate, then check the range.

Because nested conditions run faster.

Because nested conditions disable operator precedence.

Because Python does not allow multiple conditions in one expression.

Question 11

What will the following code print, considering how Python evaluates truthiness for empty and non-empty strings?

python

msg = ""
      if msg:
          print("Has content")
      else:
          print("Empty")

Empty

Has content

Error

None

Question 12

In the following snippet, which branch executes and why?

python

x = 5
      if x > 10:
          print("Large")
      elif x > 3:
          print("Medium")
      else:
          print("Small")

Medium

Large

Small

None

Question 13

What output is produced by the condition below, given that 0 is considered falsy?

python

value = 0
      if value:
          print("True branch")
      else:
          print("False branch")

False branch

True branch

Error

No output

Question 14

Which line prints when evaluating this chain?

python

score = 70
      if score > 90:
          print("Excellent")
      elif score > 80:
          print("Good")
      elif score > 60:
          print("Pass")
      else:
          print("Fail")

Pass

Excellent

Good

Fail

Question 15

What does this nested condition print?

python

num = 4
      if num > 0:
          if num % 2 == 0:
              print("Positive even")
          else:
              print("Positive odd")
      else:
          print("Non-positive")

Positive even

Positive odd

Non-positive

Error

Question 16

What outcome appears when both conditions evaluate to True in the example below?

python

a = 10
      b = 5
      if a > 5 and b > 3:
          print("Both valid")
      else:
          print("Invalid")

Both valid

Invalid

None

Error

Question 17

How does Python evaluate this fallback pattern?

python

name = None
      if name:
          print("Name provided")
      else:
          print("No name")

No name

Name provided

None

Error

Question 18

What branch runs when the first condition matches in this chain?

python

x = 3
      if x == 3:
          print("Match A")
      elif x < 5:
          print("Match B")
      else:
          print("Other")

Match A

Match B

Other

Error

Question 19

Why does an else block not require a condition?

Because it captures all remaining cases not matched by previous conditions.

Because else must evaluate True always.

Because Python forbids conditions on else blocks.

Because else and if are interchangeable.

Question 20

Which part of a conditional chain should be used for handling rare or exceptional cases that occur only when all other checks fail?

The else block

The first if block

Any of the elif blocks

The expression preceding if

Question 21

Why might a developer use multiple elif branches instead of deeply nested if statements?

It improves readability by keeping conditions aligned at the same indentation level.

It enforces faster execution by default.

It disables the need for else blocks.

It restricts conditions to numeric comparisons only.

Question 22

What advantage does a conditional expression (also known as a ternary expression) offer in Python?

It provides a concise way to choose between two values based on a condition.

It replaces all if/else statements entirely.

It automatically validates input.

It executes multiple branches.

Question 23

A conditional checks whether a list contains items before processing. Why is 'if items:' a common pattern?

Non-empty lists evaluate to True, making the condition concise and expressive.

Lists automatically return numeric values.

Lists always evaluate to False.

Python forbids checking list length directly.

Question 24

Why is it important to understand that Python stops evaluating a conditional chain after the first matching branch?

Because the order of conditions affects program behavior significantly.

Because Python forbids more than one True branch.

Because else blocks must appear first.

Because evaluation proceeds randomly.

Question 25

What is one practical benefit of grouping related comparisons into chained conditions rather than separate checks?

It provides cleaner logic that reduces potential redundancy or conflicting evaluations.

It forces Python to run conditions faster.

It disables evaluation of boolean expressions.

It merges all branches into one output.
