Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to call the function with the correct positional argument.

Python

def greet(name):
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

message = greet([1])

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the function name instead of a string.

Passing a variable that is not defined.

The function greet expects a string argument for the name. Passing "Alice" correctly provides the name.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the function call using a keyword argument.

Python

def describe_pet(pet_name, animal_type='dog'):
    return f"I have a {animal_type} named {pet_name}."

info = describe_pet([1])
print(info)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aanimal_type='Buddy'

B'Buddy'

Canimal_type='cat'

Dpet_name='Buddy'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing only a string without specifying the parameter name.

Using the wrong parameter name.

Using the keyword argument pet_name='Buddy' correctly assigns the pet_name parameter.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the function call by placing arguments in the correct order.

Python

def make_shirt(size, message):
    return f"Shirt size: {size}, message: {message}"

result = make_shirt([1])
print(result)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'Large', 'Hello World!'

B'Hello World!', 'Large'

Csize='Large', message='Hello World!'

Dmessage='Hello World!', size='Large'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping the order of positional arguments.

Mixing positional and keyword arguments incorrectly.

Positional arguments must be in the order defined: size first, then message.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a function call with one positional and one keyword argument.

Python

def order_drink(size, flavor):
    return f"Order: {size} {flavor} drink"

order = order_drink([1], [2])
print(order)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'Medium'

B'Large'

Cflavor='Mango'

Dflavor='Peach'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using keyword argument before positional argument.

Not specifying the keyword argument name.

The first argument is positional (size), the second is keyword (flavor).

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to call the function with one positional and two keyword arguments in correct order.

Python

def book_flight(destination, seat_class='Economy', meal='Standard'):
    return f"Flight to {destination}, Class: {seat_class}, Meal: {meal}"

confirmation = book_flight([1], [2], [3])
print(confirmation)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'Paris'

Bseat_class='Business'

Cmeal='Vegetarian'

Ddestination='Paris'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Placing keyword arguments before positional arguments.

Not using parameter names for keyword arguments.

The first argument is positional (destination), followed by keyword arguments seat_class and meal.
