Notes reference: 02-01: Basic Syntax

Q1: Print a greeting¶

Print your name and current city on two separate lines using a single print() call.

Solution

print("Jahid\nNew York")

Q2: Print with separator¶

Print the three values "Dhaka", 110, and True on one line, separated by " | ".

Solution

print("Dhaka", 110, True, sep=" | ")
# Output: Dhaka | 110 | True

Q3: Print without newline¶

Print "Loading" followed by "..." on the same line without a newline at the end, then print " Done" after.

Solution

print("Loading", end="")
print("...", end="")
print(" Done")
# Output: Loading... Done

Q4: Comments¶

Write a line that calculates the area of a rectangle (width=8, height=5) and add a comment explaining each variable.

Solution

width = 8    # width of the rectangle in cm
height = 5   # height of the rectangle in cm
area = width * height  # area = width × height
print(area)  # 40

Q5: Fix the indentation error¶

The following code has an indentation error. Identify and fix it.

x = 10
    print(x)

Solution

x = 10
print(x)   # print() must be at the top level, not indented

Q6: Line continuation¶

Write a long arithmetic expression (sum of 6 numbers) split across two physical lines using \.

Solution

total = 10 + 20 + 30 + \
        40 + 50 + 60
print(total)  # 210

Alternative — use parentheses (preferred):

total = (10 + 20 + 30 +
         40 + 50 + 60)
print(total)  # 210

Q7: String with quotes inside¶

Print the sentence: She said, "Python is great!"

Solution

print('She said, "Python is great!"')

# Alternative — escape the inner quotes
print("She said, \"Python is great!\"")

Q8: Case sensitivity¶

Predict what happens when this code runs and explain why.

Name = "Jahid"
print(name)

Solution

NameError: name 'name' is not defined

Name and name are two different variables. Python is case-sensitive — the variable was defined as Name (capital N) but referenced as name (lowercase).
