Humans discovered programming languages in the 1940s and have been decoding them ever since.

False

The print function can only print literal values

False

Variables change their value over time according to instructions in a program

True

Variables in Python are used to solve for unknown values, like in Algebra

False

Variable names are important because computers understand the meaning of names and change their value accordingly

False

Normally, statements are executed from top to bottom

True

Expressions are always evaluated from left to right

False

Strings are composed of only letters and symbols

False

Printing is the same as returning

False

Every function created with the def keyword must have at least one parameter

False

You should not put error messages into help seeking emails because it can clutter up the email

False

You can nest if statements inside of other if statements, but not inside functions

False

The Iteration Variable will take on each value of the List Variable, one at a time

True

The body of a for loop will contain one statement for each element of the iteration list

False

Like an if statement and a function call, the for Loop might cause the execution to not follow the sequential order of lines

True

The statement count = count + 1 will cause an error because no number can be greater than itself

False

List comprehensions cannot express everything that a for loop can

False

Dictionaries will always have at least one key and one value

False

Dictionaries are useful because you can have duplicate keys

False

Variables can be used as the keys of a dictionary

True

Keys can be added to the dictionary after its been created

True

Lists can be composed of Dictionaries

True

Dictionaries cannot be composed of lists

False

Unlike Lists, Tuples are immutable, meaning Tuples cannot be changed after they are created

True

Tuples are composed of key/value pairs

False

A while loop will always be executed at least once

False

A while loop will execute once for each expression in the conditional

False

A for loop will process a file sentence by sentence

False

The open function consumes a string representing a path and returns a string of the file's contents

False

You must import the json module before you can use the load function

True
