Python Practice Questions

Data Structures

Q1. What is the difference between a list and a tuple in Python?

my_list = [1, 2, 3]

my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)

Explanation: Lists are mutable (can be changed), whereas tuples are immutable (cannot be changed).

Q2. How do you use a dictionary to count character frequency in a string?

s = 'hello'

char_freq = {}

for char in s:

char_freq[char] = char_freq.get(char, 0) + 1

print(char_freq)

Explanation: Dictionaries are ideal for counting as they map keys to values efficiently.

Functions

Q1. How do you define and call a simple Python function?

def greet(name):

return f'Hello, {name}!'

print(greet('Alice'))

Explanation: Functions are defined using 'def' and can take parameters to perform tasks.

Q2. What is a lambda function and how is it used?

add = lambda x, y: x + y

print(add(2, 3))

Explanation: Lambda functions are anonymous functions used for short, simple operations.

Object-Oriented Programming

Q1. How do you define a class and create an object in Python?

class Person:
def __init__(self, name):

[Link] = name

p = Person('Alice')

print([Link])

Explanation: Classes define blueprints for objects; '__init__' initializes object attributes.

Q2. What is inheritance in Python?

class Animal:

def speak(self):

return 'Animal speaks'

class Dog(Animal):

def speak(self):

return 'Dog barks'

d = Dog()

print([Link]())

Explanation: Inheritance allows a class to derive methods and properties from another class.
