  1. What is the result of `7 // 2` in Python?

    Answer: 3

    `//` is floor division, which divides and rounds down to the nearest integer, giving 3.

  2. Which Python function converts a string to an integer?

    Answer: int()

    `int()` converts a numeric string or float to an integer, truncating any decimal part.

  3. What is the output of `type(3.0)`?

    Answer:

    `3.0` is a floating-point literal, so `type()` returns ``.

  4. What does the `%` operator do in Python arithmetic?

    Answer: Returns the remainder of division

    The `%` modulo operator returns the remainder after dividing the left operand by the right.

  5. What is the result of `2 ** 3` in Python?

    Answer: 8

    `**` is the exponentiation operator; `2 ** 3` means 2 raised to the power of 3, which is 8.

  6. What is the value of `round(3.567, 2)`?

    Answer: 3.57

    `round(3.567, 2)` rounds to 2 decimal places; since the third decimal is 7 ≥ 5, it rounds up to 3.57.
