PYTHON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1. Basic Python

- Python is a high-level interpreted language.

- Key features: easy syntax, dynamic typing, portability.

- Data types: int, float, list, tuple, dict, set.

- List vs Tuple: list mutable, tuple immutable.

- == compares value, is compares memory.

- Indentation defines blocks.

- Keywords are reserved words.

- Variables store data.

- Dynamic typing: type decided at runtime.

- Mutable vs Immutable: list mutable, string immutable.

2. Data Structures

- List: ordered, mutable.

- Tuple: ordered, immutable.

- Dictionary: key-value pairs.

- Set: unique unordered elements.

- Remove duplicates: list(set(list)).

- List comprehension: [x*x for x in range(5)].

- Dict comprehension: {x:x*x for x in range(5)}.

- append adds one element, extend adds multiple.

- Dict uses hash table internally.

3. Functions

- Function is reusable code block.

- return gives value, print displays.

- Default arguments have preset values.

- Keyword arguments use names.

- *args: multiple positional args.

- **kwargs: multiple keyword args.

- Lambda: small anonymous function.

- Recursion: function calls itself.

- Generator: uses yield.

- yield returns values one by one.


4. OOP

- OOP uses objects and classes.

- Class is blueprint, object is instance.

- __init__ is constructor.

- Inheritance reuses code.

- Multiple inheritance uses multiple parents.

- Overriding: redefine method.

- Encapsulation: restrict access.

- Polymorphism: same method, different behavior.

- Abstraction hides details.

- staticmethod vs classmethod difference.

- self refers to instance.

5. Modules

- Module: .py file.

- Package: folder of modules.

- __name__ == "__main__": entry point.

- import methods: import, from import.

- [Link]: module search paths.

- pip: package manager.

6. Exception Handling

- Handles runtime errors.

- try-except-finally-else blocks.

- raise used to throw exception.

- Custom exception: user-defined.

- assert used for debugging.

7. File Handling

- open() to open file.

- Modes: r, w, a, rb.

- read(), readline(), readlines().

- write() to write data.

- with auto closes file.

8. Advanced Concepts
- Decorators modify functions.

- Iterator vs iterable.

- Generator uses yield.

- GIL allows one thread at a time.

- Multithreading vs multiprocessing.

- Async programming uses async/await.

- Coroutines are async functions.

- Monkey patching modifies code runtime.

9. Memory Management

- Uses heap memory.

- Garbage collection removes unused objects.

- Reference counting tracks usage.

- Memory leaks due to circular references.

10. Coding Questions (Examples)

- Reverse string: text[::-1]

- Factorial using loop or recursion.

- Palindrome check: text == text[::-1]

- Find duplicates using set or loop.

- Largest number using loop.

- Frequency count using dictionary.

- Sorting using bubble sort.

- Second largest using sorted list.

- Merge dict using **.

- Remove duplicates using set.
