PYTHON CODING INTERVIEW

PART-2

Q11. Write a Python program to reverse a string.

Answer (Method 1)

text = "Python"

print(text[::-1])

Output

nohtyP

Answer (Method 2)

text = "Python"

reverse = ""

for i in text:
reverse = i + reverse

print(reverse)

⭐ Interviewer Follow-up

Q: Which method is better?

Answer:

The slicing method ([::-1]) is shorter and commonly used in Python.

The loop method helps demonstrate the logic of reversing a string and is useful in interviews.

Q12. Write a program to check whether a string is a palindrome.

Answer

text = "madam"

if text == text[::-1]:
print("Palindrome")
else:
print("Not Palindrome")

Output

Palindrome

Q13. Write a program to count vowels.


Answer

text = "Data Science"

count = 0

for i in [Link]():

if i in "aeiou":

count += 1

print(count)

Output

Q14. Write a program to count consonants.

Answer

text = "Python"

count = 0

for i in [Link]():

if [Link]() and i not in "aeiou":

count += 1

print(count)

Output

Q15. Write a program to remove duplicate characters from a string.

Answer

text = "programming"

result = ""

for i in text:

if i not in result:

result += i

print(result)

Output

progamin

Q16. Write a program to find the largest element in a list.


Answer

numbers = [10,45,22,90,15]

largest = numbers[0]

for i in numbers:

if i > largest:

largest = i

print(largest)

Output

90

⭐ Interviewer Follow-up

Q: Can you do it using a built-in function?

Answer

numbers = [10,45,22,90,15]

print(max(numbers))

Q17. Write a program to find the smallest element.

Answer

numbers = [10,45,22,90,15]

smallest = numbers[0]

for i in numbers:

if i < smallest:

smallest = i

print(smallest)

Output

10

Q18. Write a program to find the second largest element.

Answer

numbers = [10,45,22,90,15]

[Link]()

print(numbers[-2])

Output
45

⭐ Interviewer Follow-up

Q: Can you do it without sorting?

� Ye advanced question hai. Freshers se kabhi-kabhi poocha jata hai, lekin agar nahi aata to panic mat hona.

Q19. Write a program to remove duplicates from a list.

Answer

numbers = [10,20,20,30,40,40,50]

unique = []

for i in numbers:

if i not in unique:

[Link](i)

print(unique)

Output

[10,20,30,40,50]

Easy Method

numbers = [10,20,20,30,40,40,50]

print(list(set(numbers)))

� Interview me pehle loop wala logic batao. Fir bolo:

"Python me set() ka use karke bhi duplicates remove kar sakte hain."

Ye answer interviewer ko pasand aata hai.

Q20. Write a program to sort a list.

Ascending Order

numbers = [50,10,40,30]

[Link]()

print(numbers)

Output

[10,30,40,50]
Descending Order

numbers = [50,10,40,30]

[Link](reverse=True)

print(numbers)

Output

[50,40,30,10]

⭐ Interviewer Follow-up

Q: What is the difference between sort() and sorted()?

Answer

sort():

 Modifies the original list.


 Returns None.

sorted():

 Returns a new sorted list.


 Does not modify the original list.

Example:

numbers = [3, 1, 2]

print(sorted(numbers)) # [1, 2, 3]
print(numbers) # [3, 1, 2]

[Link]()
print(numbers) # [1, 2, 3]

⭐ Most Common Mistake

Interviewer:

How do you remove duplicates?

Candidate:

list(set(numbers))

Interviewer:

Can you do it without using set?

Candidate:
