Basic Python Interview Questions

Q: What is Python?

A: Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability.

It supports multiple paradigms like object-oriented, procedural, and functional programming. Python

is widely used in data science, web development, and automation tasks.

Q: What are Python's basic data types?

A: Common data types include:

- int: Integer numbers (e.g., 5)

- float: Decimal numbers (e.g., 3.14)

- str: Strings (e.g., 'Hello')

- bool: Boolean values (True/False)

- list, tuple, set, dict: Collection types.

Q: What is a list in Python?

A: A list is an ordered, mutable collection of items. Defined using square brackets:

Example: my_list = [1, 2, 3, 'apple']

You can add, remove, or modify elements in a list.

Q: What is the difference between list and tuple?

A: - List is mutable: it can be changed.

- Tuple is immutable: once defined, it cannot be modified.

Syntax:

list1 = [1, 2, 3]

tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)

Q: How do you write a comment in Python?

A: - Use # for single-line comment

- Use triple quotes (''' or """) for multi-line comment

Q: How do you get input from a user?


Python Interview and Practice Questions

A: Use input() function. It always returns a string.

Example:

name = input('Enter your name: ')

Q: What is indentation in Python?

A: Indentation defines blocks of code. Python uses indentation instead of braces. Incorrect

indentation will raise an IndentationError.

Q: How can you check the type of a variable?

A: Use the type() function.

Example:

name = 'Alice'

print(type(name))

Q: What are conditional statements?

A: They are used to perform actions based on conditions:

- if

- elif

- else

Example:

if x > 0:

print('Positive')

Q: How do you loop through a list?

A: Use a for loop:

Example:

fruits = ['apple', 'banana']

for fruit in fruits:

print(fruit)

Intermediate Python Interview Questions


Python Interview and Practice Questions

A: - args allows variable number of positional arguments.

- kwargs allows keyword arguments.

def func(*args, kwargs):

print(args)

print(kwargs)

Q: What is a lambda function?

A: A lambda function is an anonymous, one-liner function.

Example:

square = lambda x: x * x

print(square(4)) # 16

Q: What is list comprehension?

A: List comprehension is a concise way to create lists.

Example:

[x2 for x in range(5)] # [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

Q: What is the difference between is and ==?

A: - == compares values

- is compares identity (memory address)

x = [1,2]

y = [1,2]

x == y # True

x is y # False

Q: How is exception handling done?

A: Using try-except blocks:

try:

risky()

A: Generators use yield to return values one by one, saving memory.

Example:

def gen():

yield 1

yield 2

Q: What is the use of the 'with' statement?

A: It simplifies file handling and resource management.

Example:

with open('file.txt') as f:

data = f.read()

Q: What is a decorator?

A: A decorator modifies a function's behavior.

Example:

@decorator

def func():
