Python basic level - Self-assessment
This quiz is meant for course participants to assess their knowledge level in Python.
IMPORTANT NOTE : regarding the usage of some functions from specific modules,
we do not necessarily ask that you are able to answer the questions off the top of your head. Rather, you should be able to provide an answer in a reasonable amount of time after a quick internet search, or a call to help(), to consult the documentation.
If you are not able to answer most of the questions correctly (less than 4 out of 6 correct answers), it is an indication that you may need to gain a deeper understanding of the corresponding topic(s) before you are able to fully benefit from the course.
Some pointers to self-study materials are given below, but note that there are plenty of other excellent materials available as well , this is by no means an exhaustive list.
