A Python Development Workflow: 10 practice questions

Question 1 of 10

Which mode is best for trying a small Python expression immediately?

1. AA module copied repeatedly into several unrelated files
2. BInteractive interpreter mode
3. CA saved script
4. DA required compilation and linking phase before any test

Question 2 of 10

After a one-off terminal experiment works, what makes the same code repeatable?

1. AKeep only the terminal history
2. BAn operating-system installer instead of Python code
3. CEvery third-party package available from the community
4. DSave the code in a script for later runs

Question 3 of 10

What is the main workflow benefit of splitting code into modules?

1. AThe code can be reused by other Python programs
2. BBlock interpreter execution
3. CThe module must be duplicated before another program can use it
4. DThe code becomes a different language on each operating system

Question 4 of 10

Which sequence best separates exploration from repeatable execution?

1. AExperiment interactively, then save working code in a script
2. BDuplicate each experiment across files, then avoid executing the result
3. CKeep the experiment unsaved
4. DCompile every expression, then replace the interpreter with a batch file

Question 5 of 10

What does placing `-i` before a script do?

1. AImports every community package before starting the interpreter
2. BRuns the script and then enters interactive mode
3. CSkip the script and open a prompt
4. DLinks the script as a native application and exits immediately

Question 6 of 10

Which command form executes a module's source as a script?

1. A`python -c` followed by an empty command
2. BA file name passed to a non-Python text editor
3. C`python -i`
4. D`python -m module`

Question 7 of 10

When should the standard library enter the workflow?

1. AWhen an existing distributed module fits the program's need
2. BAfter rewriting every available file and system facility from scratch
3. CBefore the problem and required capability have been identified
4. DOnly when Python code must be converted into shell syntax

Question 8 of 10

A developer must initialize objects from a repeatable file and then inspect them through immediate commands. Which invocation supports both requirements?

1. ARun the script with `-i` before its file name
2. BRun an unrelated module with `-m` and discard the setup script
3. CUse terminal input while refusing to execute the saved initialization code
4. DEdit the file without running it

Question 9 of 10

A utility has grown beyond one file, and two other Python programs need the same parsing behavior without copied code. What is the appropriate next step?

1. APaste the parsing code into both programs and maintain three copies
2. BLeave it in an unsaved session
3. CMove the parsing behavior into a reusable module
4. DReplace the parsing behavior with an operating-system launcher name

Question 10 of 10

A team has identified a file-processing task, validated one operation interactively, and now needs repeatable execution plus reuse in another program. Which sequence fits?

1. APackage the terminal history as an operating system before selecting any library
2. BDiscard the experiment, avoid saved code, and repeat all commands manually
3. CConvert the operation to a platform-specific shell command and duplicate it
4. DSave a script, extract reusable behavior into a module, and use suitable library facilities
