IGCSE Python Quiz

Functions & Procedures

This quiz focuses on functions and procedures in Python, a key area of the Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science (0478/0984) syllabus. You will be tested on your understanding of defining and calling subroutines, parameter passing (arguments), return values, and the benefits of using modular code. Familiarity with Python's `def` and `return` keywords is essential. This quiz aims to strengthen your problem-solving and programming skills for Paper 2.

Scenario: Geometry Calculator

The following Python code defines functions and procedures to calculate and display geometric properties of shapes.

# Python Code for Geometry Calculations 1. def calculate_rectangle_area(length, width): 2. area = length * width 3. return area 4. def calculate_square_perimeter(side_length): 5. perimeter = side_length * 4 6. return perimeter 7. def display_shape_details(shape_name, dimension1_name, value1, dimension2_name=None, value2=None): 8. print(f"Shape: {shape_name}") 9. if dimension2_name: 10. print(f"{dimension1_name}: {value1}, {dimension2_name}: {value2}") 11. else: 12. print(f"{dimension1_name}: {value1}") 13. print("--- Details Displayed ---") # Example Usage (not part of the lines to be examined directly for most questions) # rect_area = calculate_rectangle_area(10, 5) # display_shape_details("Rectangle", "Area", rect_area) # square_peri = calculate_square_perimeter(7) # display_shape_details("Square", "Perimeter", square_peri) # display_shape_details("Circle", "Radius", 5) # Example for single dimension
