Answer Key
IDE function: auto-completion
Section A: Quick Questions
Q1
A — Auto-completion
Q2
A — It offers a suggestion list while the programmer is typing
Q3
B — It saves typing time because the name is finished for them
Q4
B — It suggests totalScore so it is not misspelt as totalScroe
Q5
A — Auto-completion suggests the rest of a name; auto-correction fixes a mistake that has already been typed
Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
pri → The programmer has typed only the first letters, so the IDE shows a suggestion list that includes print.
Q2
totalScore → A long variable name that auto-completion lets you finish by typing just a few letters and pressing Tab or Enter.
Q3
Auto-completion reduces spelling mistakes in names because the programmer picks the name from the list instead of typing it all. → playerScore chosen from list, not typed as plyerScore
Q4
Auto-completion is different from auto-correction: it offers to finish what you are typing, while auto-correction fixes errors that were already typed. → Auto-completion: ran -> range Auto-correction: pritn -> print
Q5
Auto-completion automatically fixes pritn to print after you type it → This describes auto-correction, not auto-completion. Auto-completion suggests or finishes a name while you are still typing it.
Q6
Auto-completion makes the program run faster when it is executed → Auto-completion only saves the programmer typing time and reduces spelling mistakes. It has no effect on how fast the program runs.
Section C: Definitions
Q1
auto-completion — An IDE feature that suggests or finishes a keyword, function or variable name as you start typing it. It saves time and cuts spelling mistakes in names.Section D: Fill in the Blanks

playerScore = 10

print("Hello")Q3

word = "cloud"
print(len(word))Section E: Spot the Error
Q1
B — The variable name score is misspelled as scroe, so Python cannot find it. Auto-completion would suggest score after typing sc, which avoids this mistake. The line should be total = score + 5.
Q2
C — The variable was created as colour, but color was typed here, so the name does not exist. Picking colour from the auto-completion suggestion list would use the exact name. The line should be print(colour, size).
Q3
C — The variable count is misspelled as cuont, which causes a name error. Auto-completion suggests existing names as you type, so it cuts spelling mistakes like this. The line should be print(count).
Q4
A — The variable is created as totl, but total is used later, so the program fails. Auto-completion helps you type the same name each time. The line should be total = 0.
Q5
A — The parameter name is misspelled as nmae, but the body uses name. A suggestion list while typing would help keep the spelling the same. The line should be def greet(name):.
