PCEP Computer Programming and Python Fundamentals Practice Question

A developer wants to create a list of even numbers from 0 to 10 inclusive. Which code snippet will correctly produce [0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10]?

⚠ Common exam trap

The PCEP exam often tests whether candidates recognize that multiple approaches can produce the same correct result, and the trap here is that a student might dismiss Option C because it uses multiplication instead of a step or filter, not realizing it still yields the exact target list.

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

All of the above

All three code snippets produce the list [0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10]. Option A uses the built-in `range()` function with a step of 2, starting at 0 and stopping before 11. Option B is a list comprehension that iterates over range(11) and filters numbers where the remainder when divided by 2 is 0. Option C multiplies each integer from 0 to 5 by 2, yielding the same even numbers. Therefore, D is correct.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
list(range(0,11,2))
Why it's wrong here
This creates a list with step 2.
✗
[x for x in range(11) if x%2==0]
Why it's wrong here
This filters even numbers from 0 to 10.
✗
[x*2 for x in range(6)]
Why it's wrong here
This produces [0,2,4,6,8,10] as well.
✓
All of the above
Why this is correct
All three snippets produce the same list.
