To restart the loop

2 / 25

B) What is a generator in Python?

A type of collection

A function that returns an iterator

A loop that can iterate once

A module for generating random numbers

3 / 25

C) Which statement is used to terminate a loop prematurely?

pass

continue

break

exit

4 / 25

D) In the context of loops, what does the yield keyword do in Python?

It pauses the loop and returns a value

It terminates the loop immediately

It skips to the next iteration of the loop

It repeats the current iteration

5 / 25

E) What will the filter() function return if applied to a list?

A new list with elements that meet the condition

A filter object

A modified version of the original list

6 / 25

F) What is a primary use case for the asyncio library in Python?

Data analysis

wait

async

await

yield

12 / 25

L) What will be the output of the following code?

x = 5while x > 0:    x -= 1    if x == 2:        pass    else:        print(x)

4 3 1 0

To access each key-value pair in a dictionary

16 / 25

P) What does the map() function return?

A new list with the same elements

A map object

The first element of the iterable

None of the above

17 / 25

Q) Which functional programming technique in Python can be used to apply a function to all items in an iterable and collect the results?

The reduce() function

The apply() function

18 / 25

R) Which of the following is true about nested loops in Python?

The inner loop must be a while loop.

The outer loop executes once for each iteration of the inner loop.

The inner loop completes all its iterations for each iteration of the outer loop.

Nested loops can only be used with lists, not with other data structures.

19 / 25
