The Python programming language as an alternative tool for solving tasks of the Unified State Exam in informatics

Abstract

Programming is the basis of the content line "Algorithms and programming", which is studied throughout the entire school course of informatics, therefore programming tasks are one of the thematic blocks of the Unified State Exam (USE) in informatics. In particular, one of the educational languages used in solving tasks of the USE in informatics is the Python programming language. This language can be used both for solving the problems of the "Programming" section, and for solving other tasks of the Unified State Exam, simplifying the way to solve them if the students have the skills to write programs in this programming language using the main algorithmic structures (sequencing, selection, and iteration) and data structures (arrays, strings).The article describes the possibilities of using the Python programming language as an alternative tool for solving tasks No. 2, No. 5, No. 15 and No. 16 of the USE in informatics using the example of tasks from the demo version of the USE 2023 control measuring materials, as well as tasks from the open bank of USE tasks.
