Quiz #1 for October 6, 2020

Please use your Python system (IDLE or something else) to compute the following. Be prepared to show your work!

1. If x = 3 and y = 1, what is:
   
   Answer: The Python expression is: x**3 + y/2 + (x+y)//6. This evaluates to
   3**3 + 18/2 + (3 + 18) / 6 = 27 + 9.0 + 21 // 6 = 27 + 9 + 3 = 39
   Note the second division is integer division, which is the floor function.

2. What is the remainder of 2,347,500,001 when it is divided by 6,345?
   Answer: You never put commas in numbers in Python. So the Python expression to evaluate is
   2347500001 % 6345
   which gives 2281.

3. True or false: The value of 2 + 3 % 2 is 1, because 2 + 3 is 5, and 5 % 2 is 1.
   Answer: False. The modulo or remainder operator (%) has higher precedence than the addition (+) operstor, so you do the % first. This gives 2 + 3 % 2 = 2 + 1 = 3.
