python 20 PYTHON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS = Rohit Gupta & Rohit Gup1. What is Pythonpath? ® A Pythonpath tells the Python interpreter to locate the module files that can be imported into the program. It includes the Python source library directory and source code directory. You can preset Pythonpath as a Python installer. e Rohit Gupta Yep2. What are tuples? ® Tuples are a sequence data type with immutable values in Python. The number of values i tuples is separated by commas. 3. What is pep 8? ® Python Enhancement Proposal or pep 8 is a set of les that specify how to format Python code for maximum readability. e Rohit Gupta Yep4. What is namespace in Python? ® A namespace is a naming system used to make sure names are unique to avoid naming conflicts 5. Is indentation necessary in Python? ® Indentation is required in Python if not done properly the code is not executed properly and might throw errors. Indentation is usually done using four space characters. e Rohit Gupta Yep6. What are the limitations of Python? ® There are limitations to Python, which include the following: It has design restrictions. It is slower when compared with C and C++ or Java. It is inefficient for mobile computing. It consists of an underdeveloped database access layer. e Rohit Gupta Yep7. Why do we need a break? ® Break helps control the Python loop by breaking the current loop from execution and transferring the control to the next block. 8. Why do we need a continue? ® Acontinue helps control the Python loop by making jumps to the next iteration of the loop without exhausting it. 9. Define slicing in Python. ® Slicing refers to the mechanism to select the range of items from sequence types like lists, tuples, strings. 10. What is docstring? ® Docstring is a Python documentation string, it is a way of documenting Python functions, classes, and modules.11. What are Python decorators? ® A specific change made in Python syntax to alter the functions easily are termed as Python decorators. 12. Differentiate between list and tuple. ® Tuple is not mutable it can be hashed eg. key for dictionaries. On the other hand, lists are mutable. 13. What are functions in Python? ® A function is a block of code which is executed only when a call is made to the function. def keyword is used to define a particular function as shown below: def function(): print("Hi, Welcome to nubcoder") function(); # call to the function14. Is python case sensitive? ® Yes, Python is a case sensitive language. This means that Function and function both are different in pythons like SQL and Pascal. 15. What does [::-1] do? ® [::-1] ,this is an example of slice notation and helps to reverse the sequence with the help of indexing. [Start,stop,step count] import array as arr Array_d=arr.array(‘i',[1,2,3,4,5]) Array_d[::-1] #reverse the array or sequence16. What is __init_? ® _init_is acontructor method in Python and is automatically called to allocate memory when a new object/instance is created. All classes have a __init_ method associated with them. It helps in distinguishing methods and attributes of a class from local variables. 17. What is the difference between Python Arrays and lists? ® Arrays in python can only contain elements of same data types i.e., data type of array should be homogeneous. It is a thin wrapper around C language arrays and consumes far less memory than lists. Lists in python can contain elements of different data types i.e., data type of lists can be heterogeneous. It has the disadvantage of consuming large memory.18. What is Shallow copy ? ® Shallow Copy is a bit-wise copy of an object. The copied object created has an exact copy of the values in the original object. If either of the values is a reference to other objects, just the reference addresses for the same are copied. 19. How are arguments passed by value or by reference in python? ® Pass by value: Copy of the actual object is passed. Changing the value of the copy of the object will not change the value of the original object. ® Pass by reference: Reference to the actual object is passed. Changing the value of the new object will change the value of the original object.20. Are access specifiers used in python? ® Python does not make use of access specifiers specifically like private, public, protected, etc. However, it does not derive this from any variables. It has the concept of imitating the behaviour of variables by making use of a single (protected) or double underscore (private) as prefixed to the variable names. By default, the variables without prefixed underscores are public. \ > = Rohit Gupta Wain)FOLOW ME FOR DAILY CONTENT ON PROGRAMMING @nubcoder Rohit Gupta
