| scooper | ACTION back | 21:23 |
| shmohamud | Good day scooper | 21:27 |
| scooper | Good afternoon | 21:29 |
| scooper | So in order to prepare for the test properly Jeff give me and the team this link | 21:31 |
| scooper | https://edube.org/learn/pe-1/your-very-first-program-36 | 21:31 |
| shmohamud | I can't access that link | 21:32 |
| shmohamud | I'm unauthorized | 21:33 |
| shmohamud | Let's start with some sample PCEP questions | 21:33 |
| shmohamud | What will be the output when the user enters 0? | 21:34 |
| shmohamud | user_input = input("what is your value?") | 21:34 |
| shmohamud | print(1/user_input) | 21:35 |
| shmohamud | A. Number 0 shown to the console | 21:35 |
| shmohamud | B. Type error raised | 21:35 |
| shmohamud | C. Zero division error raised | 21:35 |
| shmohamud | D. Value error raised | 21:35 |
| scooper | the program will raise an error | 21:36 |
| scooper | because we didn't cast the program before conversion | 21:36 |
| shmohamud | What type of error? B C or D? | 21:38 |
| scooper | B | 21:40 |
| scooper | Did you login??? | 21:40 |
| shmohamud | Correct | 21:42 |
| shmohamud | Great job! Yes, I logged in. | 21:42 |
| shmohamud | if 2 == 2.0: | 21:44 |
| shmohamud | print("yes" | 21:44 |
| shmohamud | else: | 21:44 |
| shmohamud | print("no") | 21:44 |
| shmohamud | What will be the output of the code above? | 21:44 |
| scooper | yes | 21:45 |
| shmohamud | Correct again, nice job. | 21:46 |
| shmohamud | What is CPython? | 21:46 |
| scooper | If my memory set me right | 21:46 |
| shmohamud | A. It's a programming language that's a superset of the C language | 21:46 |
| scooper | Cpython | 21:47 |
| shmohamud | B. Designed to produce Python like performance with code written in C | 21:47 |
| scooper | is a branch of that derived from the c programming language | 21:47 |
| shmohamud | C. It's a programming language that's a superset of Python | 21:48 |
| shmohamud | D. Designed to produce C-like performance with code written in Python | 21:48 |
| shmohamud | E. It's a default, referenced implementation of the Python language | 21:49 |
| scooper | E | 21:49 |
| shmohamud | E. It's a default reference implementation of the C language written in Python | 21:50 |
| shmohamud | F. It's a default reference implementation of the Python language written in C | 21:50 |
| shmohamud | I had to correct E. Now, which is correct? | 21:51 |
| scooper | Am I correct??? | 21:51 |
| shmohamud | Please re-read the answer choices and try again, I wrote the wrong thing for the first E | 21:51 |
| scooper | Since Python derived from the c programming language be ()A will be my next alternative... | 21:53 |
| scooper | A | 21:54 |
| shmohamud | Nope, Python is not derived from C | 21:55 |
| shmohamud | They're two different languages | 21:55 |
| shmohamud | You were close with E originally, do you want the answer? | 21:58 |
| scooper | If they are two difference which I do know them why they are saying it's reference implementation of the C langauge | 21:58 |
| scooper | In my understanding I was thinking that python derived from the C++ programming since C is really difficult | 21:59 |
| shmohamud | Sorry, you're right, if you meant CPython (not Python) is written in C and Python. | 22:00 |
| shmohamud | The correct answer is F. It's a default reference implementation of the Python language written in C | 22:01 |
| shmohamud | Question: Strings in Python are delimited with what? | 22:01 |
| shmohamud | A. Backslash (/) | 22:01 |
| shmohamud | B. Single (') or double (") quotes | 22:01 |
| shmohamud | C. Asterisks (*) | 22:02 |
| scooper | double quotation or single quotation marks | 22:02 |
| scooper | B | 22:02 |
| shmohamud | D. Dollar sign ($) | 22:02 |
| shmohamud | Perfect, well done. | 22:02 |
| shmohamud | Do you have any questions for me? | 22:05 |
| scooper | yes | 22:06 |
| scooper | And this is very crucial or import to every beginner programming | 22:07 |
| scooper | I m trying to wrap my head around Syntax and Semantic in programming | 22:07 |
| shmohamud | Good question! | 22:09 |
| scooper | Syntax is a programming element or that make a program well structure right?? example | 22:09 |
| scooper | Could be in English which talks about Sentence | 22:09 |
| scooper | So in short syntax and sentence in English perform the same responsible right??? | 22:10 |
| shmohamud | Syntax is about whether or not code is valid, it's the structure of the code. Syntax in elements in Python includes indentation | 22:10 |
| scooper | yes | 22:11 |
| shmohamud | Syntax in English language is the same concept. It asks whether or not a sentence is structured properly (Start with capital letter, end with a period, commas in the right places) | 22:11 |
| shmohamud | Semantics is the meaning of the code. So if we increment i++ the semantics is that it's an incrementor | 22:12 |
| scooper | After explanation please test me with a code | 22:12 |
| scooper | let me analyze it to know whether the syntax and the semantic are proper structure | 22:12 |
| shmohamud | if 10 > 0: | 22:13 |
| scooper | in the program | 22:13 |
| shmohamud | print("Is greater than 0") | 22:13 |
| shmohamud | else: | 22:13 |
| shmohamud | print("Is not greater than 0") | 22:13 |
| shmohamud | what's the syntax here, and what's the semantics? | 22:13 |
| scooper | perfect question | 22:13 |
| scooper | the Syntax here is the entire condition statement in the programm | 22:14 |
| shmohamud | can you be more specific? | 22:15 |
| scooper | ok | 22:15 |
| scooper | According to you definition of syntax is about whether or not code is valid | 22:16 |
| scooper | so the program you just wrong is a valid syntax | 22:16 |
| scooper | because it will execute without error | 22:16 |
| shmohamud | yes it's syntactically valid | 22:17 |
| scooper | the semantic is tell us that the if is a condition statement that is comparing the 10 to 0 to know | 22:17 |
| scooper | whether 10 is greater than zero | 22:17 |
| shmohamud | yes | 22:17 |
| shmohamud | good job | 22:17 |
| shmohamud | 2. What is the best definition of a script? | 22:18 |
| shmohamud | A. It's an error message generated by the interpreter | 22:18 |
| shmohamud | B. It's a text file that contains instructions which make up a Python program | 22:18 |
| shmohamud | C. It's an error message generated by the compiler | 22:18 |
| shmohamud | D. It's a text file that contains sequences of zeroes and ones | 22:18 |
| scooper | B | 22:18 |
| shmohamud | correct! | 22:19 |
| shmohamud | 3. What do you call a file containing a program written in a high-level programming language? | 22:19 |
| shmohamud | A. A target file | 22:19 |
| shmohamud | B. A code file | 22:19 |
| shmohamud | C. A source file | 22:19 |
| shmohamud | D. A machine file | 22:19 |
| scooper | Almost all the question in are asking me came in the first and second quiz I to last night | 22:19 |
| scooper | C | 22:20 |
| shmohamud | Good, let me find something a bit more challenging | 22:20 |
| scooper | Almost all the question you are asking me came in the first and second quiz I took last night | 22:20 |
| shmohamud | 6. What are the four fundamental elements that make a language? | 22:21 |
| shmohamud | A. An alphabet, phonetics, phonology, and semantics | 22:21 |
| shmohamud | B. An alphabet, a lexis, phonetics, and semantics | 22:21 |
| scooper | from the link I sent you | 22:21 |
| shmohamud | C. An alphabet, morphology, phonetics, and semantics | 22:21 |
| shmohamud | D. An alphabet, a lexis, a syntax, and semantics | 22:21 |
| scooper | D | 22:21 |
| shmohamud | Correct | 22:22 |
| scooper | Sahnun I m using that Resource Jeff give us to foster my study for now... | 22:23 |
| scooper | I m changing it still I take my test.... in January or February | 22:23 |
| scooper | I m not | 22:23 |
| shmohamud | Are you taking the PCEP in January? | 22:24 |
| scooper | Yes I m | 22:24 |
| scooper | Passing that test determining my team and I faith to was our monthly stipend which is very import to us here... | 22:25 |
| shmohamud | I understand the stakes are high | 22:26 |
| shmohamud | So, you have we have less than 6 weeks before you take it. | 22:26 |

| scooper | Though I m reading again from the start | 22:31 |
| scooper | I will recommend to you that you pickup from where we stop today | 22:32 |
| scooper | by introducing different concept in programming | 22:32 |
| scooper | *python programming | 22:33 |
| shmohamud | Using what resource? | 22:33 |
| scooper | The one you are having right now... | 22:34 |

| shmohamud | I ran out of them already | 22:34 |
| scooper | Some concept I understand good are as follows | 22:34 |
| shmohamud | But I will see if I can purchase some PCEP practice tests for you. How does that sound? | 22:35 |
| scooper | wow sound good | 22:35 |
| scooper | Are will even like to share it with my test too | 22:35 |
| scooper | I will | 22:35 |
| shmohamud | You would like to share what with your test? | 22:36 |
| scooper | The PCEP practice questions | 22:36 |
| scooper | you are talking about...it will help them too because it's all about us as a team.. | 22:37 |
| shmohamud | Ah, I understand now. Yes, please do share the questions with the team. I will look for some good questions and share them with you all. | 22:37 |
