| If something is mutable, what does that mean? | If something is mutable it means it is capable of change or of being changed. |
| What data types are all immutable? | Primitive data types |
| What does each of the following methods do? 1) POP 2) REMOVE 3) REVERSE 4) SORT 5) COUNT 6) EXTEND | 1) POP = Removes the last element of the list and returns that value 2) REMOVE = removes the first occurance of the element with the specified value 3) REVERSE = reverses the sorting order of the values/characters. 4) SORT = returns a sorted list of the specified iterable object. 5) COUNT = returns the number of elements with the specified value. 6) EXTEND = returns the number of elements with the specified value. |
| What is the difference between procedural programming and OOP? | In procedural programming, data is stored in the main program and passed to functions. In OOP the data and subroutines are stored together in objects which are created from classes. |
| Define a class | A class is like a blueprint, it contains the plans for the data and behaviours an object should possess. You can create many objects from a single class. |
| Define a method | The associated actions of an object |
| Define an instance | Every new object created from the same blueprint. |
| Define an object | A collection of data and its associated actions |
| Define an attribute | The individual properties of an object |
| Define encapsulation | Encapsulation is a mechanism of wrapping the data (variables) and code acting on the data (methods) together as a single unit. |
| Define inheritance | Allows us to define a class that inherits all the methods and properties from another class. |
| Define Polymorphism | The use of a single type entity (method, operator or object) to represent different types in different scenarios. For example we can use + to add 3 + 4 and "Hannah" + "Qureshi" |
| Define overriding | Overriding is an ability of any object-oriented programming language that allows a subclass or child class to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by one of its super-classes or parent classes |
| Define data hiding | The method to prevent access to specific users in the application |
| What is a string? | A “string” is a collection of alphanumeric characters; in essence, a piece of text. As programmers, we typically describe a “string” an an array of character data types. “Strings” can be stored and/or be passed and returned from functions, be entered (as input) or displayed (as output). |
| What is a string literal? | A specific instance of a string is known as a string literal |
| If we have speech marks inside of a string, how do we work around this? | We use escape characters. Put a backslash just before where the ' or '' will be. For example " The clock says 1 o \'clock" |
| What are the 7 key string manipulation functions and how do they work? | Split – splits a string into an array of words, with some delimiter (i.e., space) Join – merges an array into a list Mid – allows you to ‘extract’ a substring from a string Left - allows you to ‘extract’ a substring starting from the left of a string Right - allows you to ‘extract’ a substring starting from the right of a string Find – allows you to ‘find’ the first index of a substring in a string Trim - allows you to ‘remove’ any leading or trailing ’whitespace’ |
