Python Coding and Theory Test

Coding Question:

Write a Python function called `find_common_elements` that takes two lists of integers as input

and returns a list of integers that are common in both lists. Ensure the result does not contain

duplicates, even if there are duplicate common elements in the input lists.

Example:

Input:

list1 = [1, 2, 2, 3, 4]

list2 = [2, 3, 5, 2, 6]

Output: [2, 3]

Theory Questions:

1. Basic Python:

- What is the difference between a list and a tuple in Python?

- What are Python's data types for representing numbers?

2. Functions:

- Explain the difference between `*args` and `**kwargs` in Python functions.

- What is the purpose of the `return` statement in Python?

3. Object-Oriented Programming:

- Define what a class and an object are in Python.

- How does Python achieve encapsulation?


4. Error Handling:

- What is the purpose of the `try-except` block in Python?

- How can you raise an exception in Python?

5. Advanced Topics:

- Explain the difference between shallow copy and deep copy in Python.

- What is the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in Python, and why is it significant?

Bonus (Optional): Logical Problem:

Write a Python program to check if a string is a palindrome. A string is a palindrome if it reads

the same backward as forward. Ignore spaces, punctuation, and case sensitivity.
