This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PCEP – Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification is a comprehensive mock exam with emphasis on using the PCEP-30-02 Syllabus as guide on the question topic. The audience should have basic knowledge in Python or have a good grasp on other programming language because this is not a tutorial. All 260 questions are based on individual topics in the syllabus and all topics have been covered. Each and every topic in the syllabus have a corresponding question with sufficient representation. Exam block #1: Computer Programming and Python Fundamentals (82 questions) Objectives covered by the block (7 exam items) PCEP 1.1 Understand fundamental terms and definitions PCEP 1.2 Understand Python’s logic and structure PCEP 1.3 Introduce literals and variables into code and use different numeral systems PCEP 1.4 Choose operators and data types adequate to the problem PCEP 1.5 Perform Input/Output console operations Exam block #2: Control Flow – Conditional Blocks and Loops (37 questions) Objectives covered by the block (8 exam items) PCEP 2.1 Make decisions and branch the flow with the if instruction PCEP 2.2 Perform different types of iterations Exam block #3: Data Collections – Tuples, Dictionaries, Lists, and Strings (75 questions) Objectives covered by the block (7 exam items) PCEP 3.1 Collect and process data using lists PCEP 3.2 Collect and process data using tuples PCEP 3.3 Collect and process data using dictionaries PCEP 3.4 Operate with strings Exam block #4: Functions and Exceptions (66 questions) Objectives covered by the block (8 exam items) PCEP 4.1 Decompose the code using functions PCEP 4.2 Organize interaction between the function and its environment PCEP 4.3 Python Built-In Exceptions Hierarchy PCEP 4.4 Basics of Python Exception Handling Questions in the Practice tests are much more difficult than what is included in the Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer Certification. I recommend doing hands-on to test the validity of the answers and emphasize on the importance of coding different permutations and combinations on the examples given. All questions will be easier to understand if the code is run on IDLE or your favorite Python IDE if you have another preference.
