Functions Multiple Choice Questions

Section 5.18 Functions Multiple Choice Questions

Checkpoint 5.18.1.

Q-1: Select all the parts that are absolutely needed to create and call a function.

function header (including the definition and the name)
Correct!
function body
Correct!
variables
Variables are not absolutely needed to create a function. For example, a function can just contain a print statement.
return statement
A return statement is not absolutely needed to create a function. For example, a print statement can be used instead of a return statement.
function call
Correct!

Checkpoint 5.18.2.

Q-2: What will be returned after calling modulus(100,95) and modulus(95.3,100.5) and modulus(12,12)?

def modulus(num1, num2):
    answer = num1 % num2
    return answer

5 and 5.2 and 1
Incorrect! When you do a smaller number % a larger number, the answer will always be the smaller number. When you do a number % the same number, the answer will always be 0.
5 and 95.3 and 0
Correct!
100 and 95.3 and 12
Incorrect! When you do a larger number % a smaller number, the answer will be the remainder of the larger number divided by the smaller number. When you do a number % the same number, the answer will always be 0.
95 and 100.5 and 0
Incorrect! When you do a larger number % a smaller number, the answer will be the remainder of the larger number divided by the smaller number. When you do a smaller number % a larger number, the answer will always be the smaller number.
5 and 100.5 and 1
Incorrect! When you do a smaller number % a larger number, the answer will always be the smaller number. When you do a number % the same number, the answer will always be 0.

Checkpoint 5.18.3.

Q-3: What will be printed after calling divide(100, 95) and divide(5, 7) and divide(7, 5)? (Note: Ignore whitespaces.)

def divide(num1, num2):
    single_div_answer = num1 / num2
    print(round(single_div_answer, 2))
    double_div_answer = num1 // num2
    print(round(double_div_answer, 2))

1, 1.05, 0, 0.71, 1, 1.4
Incorrect! Single division is floating point division. Double division is integer division, and it outputs the floor of the value.
1.05, 5, 0.71, 5, 1.4, 2
Incorrect! Single division is floating point division. Double division is integer division, and it outputs the floor of the value.
1.05, 2, 0.71, 1, 1.4, 2
Incorrect! Single division is floating point division. Double division is integer division, and it outputs the floor of the value.
1.05, 1, 0.71, 1, 1.4, 1
Incorrect! Single division is floating point division. Double division is integer division, and it outputs the floor of the value.
1.05, 1, 0.71, 0, 1.4, 1
Correct!

Checkpoint 5.18.4.

Q-4: After running the following code, what will the output be?

def multiplication_one(num1, num2):
    num1 * num2

print(multiplication_one(5, 10))

def multiplication_two(num1, num2):
    return num1 * num2

multiplication_two(5, 10)

None will be outputted after printing and calling multiplication_one(5, 10). Nothing will be outputted after calling multiplication_two(5, 10).
Correct!
Nothing will be outputted after printing and calling multiplication_one(5, 10). None will be outputted after calling multiplication_two(5, 10).
Incorrect! None is printed when you print and call a function and there is no return statement in the function body. Nothing is outputted when you call a function that only has a return statement and you don't print the function call.
50 will be outputted after printing and calling multiplication_one(5, 10) and after calling multiplication_two(5, 10).
Incorrect! None is printed when you print and call a function and there is no return statement in the function body. Nothing is outputted when you call a function that only has a return statement and you don't print the function call.
None will be outputted after printing and calling multiplication_one(5, 10). 50 will be outputted after calling multiplication_two(5, 10).
Incorrect! Nothing is outputted when you call a function that only has a return statement and you don't print the function call.
50 will be outputted after printing and calling multiplication_one(5, 10). Nothing will be outputted after calling multiplication_two(5, 10).
Incorrect! None is printed when you print and call a function and there is no return statement in the function body.

Checkpoint 5.18.5.

Q-5: What would be outputted after running the code below? (Note: Ignore whitespaces.)

def addition(num1, num2):
    return(num1 + num2)

def subtraction(num1, num2):
    print(num1 - num2)

def main():
    add_answer = addition(2, 4)
    new_add_answer = addition(add_answer, 105)
    print(subtraction(new_add_answer, 200))

main()

None and -89
Incorrect! When you print a function call (e.g., print(subtraction(new_add_answer, 200))) and the function prints an output (e.g., def subtraction(num1, num2): print(num1 - num2)), the output will be printed first due to the function call. Then, printing the function call will output None because the function does not have a return statement.
None
Incorrect! When you print a function call (e.g., print(subtraction(new_add_answer, 200))) and the function prints an output (e.g., def subtraction(num1, num2): print(num1 - num2)), the output will be printed first due to the function call. Then, printing the function call will output None because the function does not have a return statement.
-89
Incorrect! When you print a function call (e.g., print(subtraction(new_add_answer, 200))) and the function prints an output (e.g., def subtraction(num1, num2): print(num1 - num2)), the output will be printed first due to the function call. Then, printing the function call will output None because the function does not have a return statement.
-89 and None
Correct!
