❌The key-value pair " "Peter" : 234 " is added to the dictionary.
❌The key-value pair " "Peter" : 123 " is replaced by " "Peter " : 234 "
✅As the key is already available, the dictionary is unchanged.
❌Question 16
What is the result of the following statements?

❌Variable "a" contains the value " "Harry" "
✅Index Error
❌Key Error
❌Question 17
Which of the following statements about the while loop are correct?
Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
while loops can end up in infinite loops.
✅while loops should be preferred over for loops.
❌If the iteration is to be done over a sequence, for loops are preferred. If it is not clear how many iterations are required, then a while loop is (often) the better choice.
✅while loops execute the while block (that is, the conditional statements belonging to the loop) at least once.
❌The while block (that is, the conditional statements belonging to the loop) must contain at least one statement.
✅Question 18
What is the value of variable a after the following code has been executed?
65
❌54
✅66
❌55
❌Question 19
Which of the following statements about the modes used to open a file are correct?
Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
In mode "r", the file must exist. If an attempt is made to access a file that is not available, the FileNotFoundError is triggered.
✅In mode "r+", it is possible to read data from a file, but also to write data to the file.
✅If data is written to a file that is opened in mode "r", an error is triggered.
✅A file opened in mode "r+" has first to be read. In a second step, data can be written to the file. A file opened in mode "w+" must first have data written to the file before data can be read.
❌In mode "w+", an existing file will be opened.
❌Question 20
Which of the following statements about reading from a file are correct?
Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
It is possible to read the complete file into a list in one go, without a for loop, using the method ".readlines()"
✅Files are organized sequentially, therefore a for loop can be used to iterate over the lines of a file.
✅As files are organized sequentially, they can easily be converted into a list, as a list is a sequence type as well.
✅If a file is read with ".readlines()", it is not necessary to close it at the end of the program.
❌If a file is read from the beginning to the end, the read cursor is automatically positioned at the beginning of the file again.
❌Question 21
Which of the following statements about f-strings are correct?
Note: There are 3 correct answers to this question.
It is possible to add additional information into the braces, which supports the alignment of the output.
✅To indicate that a string should be treated as an f-string, an "f" simply has to be placed before the string.
✅When using an f-string, curly braces "{ }" can be used. Variables or function calls can be placed within these braces.
✅Using f-strings, the programmer has the opportunity to specify the layout. For example, the output could be in different colors, or bold, or italic.
❌f-strings have been available in Python since version 3.0.
❌Question 22
What is the result of the following statement?
['Yesterday,', 'Let', 'it', 'be,', 'Help,', 'Something']
