adult minor Both Nothing

A6 (2 marks)

What prints?

name = "Ada"
greet = f"Hello, {name}!"
print(greet)

Hello, {name}! Hello, name! Hello, Ada! Error — f-strings don't work

A7 (2 marks)

print(len(nums))

3 60 [10, 20, 30] Error

What prints?

count = 0
while count < 3:
    count += 1
print(count)

0 1 2 3 2 3

A9 (2 marks)

What prints?

def double(x):
    return x * 2

print(double(7))

7 14 x * 2 Nothing — the function was never called

A10 (2 marks)

What prints?

score = 42
print(type(score).__name__)

42 score int str

Part B — Fill in the Blank

5 questions · 3 marks each · ~10 minutes. Type the exact Python code that goes in the blank.

B1 (3 marks)

Fill in the blank so the program prompts the user for their name and then prints the greeting. Use input(...) with a prompt string so the user knows what to type.

_________________
print(f"Hello, {name}!")

B2 (3 marks)

Fill in the blank to add "grape" to the end of the list.

fruits = ["apple", "banana"]
_________________
print(fruits)  # ['apple', 'banana', 'grape']

B3 (3 marks)

Fill in the blank to print the numbers 0 through 4. (The loop variable must be i because the body below uses print(i).)

_________________
    print(i)

B4 (3 marks)

Fill in the blank — pass if score is 50 or more, otherwise fail.

_________________
    print("pass")
else:
    print("fail")

B5 (3 marks)

Fill in the blank so the function returns the hp AFTER taking damage.

def take_damage(hp, damage):
    _________________

print(take_damage(100, 25))  # should print 75

Part C — Debug

4 questions · 5 marks each · ~20 minutes. Find the bug, write the fix, explain in your own words.

C1 (5 marks)

This code should print Hello, world! — fix it. Write the fixed ONE line of code.

print(Hello, world!)

Fixed code: Explain the bug (1 sentence):

C2 (5 marks)

Fix this so it stores the string "Grace" in the variable name.

name = Grace
print(name)

Fixed code (the first line only): Explain the bug (1 sentence):

C3 (5 marks)

This checks if age is 18 or over — but it's broken. Fix the first line.

if age = 18:
    print("adult")

Fixed first line: Explain the bug (1 sentence):

C4 (5 marks)

This should print the FIRST fruit in the list. Fix the print line.

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(fruits[1])  # wrong — this prints banana

Fixed print line: Explain the bug (1 sentence):

Part D — Coding Tasks (Write Python)

2 questions · 10 marks each · ~25 minutes. Write the code, paste it below, then paste what it prints. Self-check: compare your output to the expected output.

D1 (10 marks)

Task: Write a program that asks the user for two numbers and prints the LARGER one (or "They're equal" if both the same).

Expected output examples:
If user types 5 and 9 → prints 9
If user types 10 and 10 → prints They're equal
If user types 100 and 42 → prints 100

Your code: What did it print when you tested it? (try both 5 and 9):

D2 (10 marks)

Task: Write a program with a list of 5 game characters. Use a for loop to print each one on its own line, numbered from 1.

Expected output:

1. Mario
2. Link
3. Samus
4. Kirby
5. Pikachu

Hint: use enumerate(list, start=1) or track index with a counter.

Your code: What did it print when you ran it? (paste first 2 lines at least):
