del

Answer 2

this is used to delete an object

Question 3

from

Answer 3

this is used when importing specific functions from a module

Question 4

not

Answer 4

this is used with truth assessments to specify the negative of the conditions (e.g. to invert the truth value)

Question 5

while

Answer 5

used for loops that continue until a condition is no longer met (or goes on forever)

Question 6

as

Answer 6

used to import a module as something else, under a different name

Question 7

Answer 7

in conjunction with an if statement and followed by an else statement, used for assessing conditions

Question 8

Question 9

or

Answer 9

used when comparing conditions (i.e. this or this) - it results to true if any of the operands are true

Question 10

with

Answer 10

used to pair up lines of code - can help to close files (not super clear on this one)

Question 11

assert

Answer 11

this is used to test assumptions. If the test isnt met then it returns an AssertionError

Question 12

else

Answer 12

Question 13

if

Answer 13

used to test a condition and then carry out a specific action if that condition is met

Question 14

pass

Answer 14

used when something is required syntaxically but the code doesnt need to do anything

Question 15

yield

Answer 15

like a return statement in a function, yield returns a generator

Question 16

break

Answer 16

used to end a loop

Question 17

except

Question 23

raise

Answer 23

similar to except, this is used to raise an error (Im not quite sure how they differ)

Question 24

continue

Answer 24

continues from the beginning of the loop. unlike pass, continue starts the loop over, while pass simply does nothing and the next line of code is executed

Question 25

Question 26

is

Answer 26

Question 27

return

Answer 27

Question 29

for

Answer 29

Question 30

lambda

Answer 30

        a = lambda x: x*2
        for i in range(1,6):
            print(a(i))

Question 31

try

Answer 31

this is used with except and raise in order to catch exceptions in code that could otherwise crash the code
