Python Fundamentals<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

What is Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language that supports multiple programming paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. It was created by Guido van Rossum and officially released in 1991.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What are some advantages of Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Python is known for its simple and readable syntax. Its extensive standard libraries and active community make it an excellent choice for both beginners and advanced users. Python is cross-platform and open-source, making it accessible and easy to integrate with other technologies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What is the difference between an interpreted and compiled language?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

An interpreted language like Python executes code line-by-line at runtime, which can make debugging easier. Compiled languages, on the other hand, convert the entire program into machine code before execution, usually resulting in faster performance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What are variables in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Variables are used to store data values. In Python, variables are created when you assign a value to them, and you don\u2019t need to declare their data type explicitly due to Python’s dynamic typing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What are Python\u2019s basic data types?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

Python\u2019s built-in data types include:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  • Numeric: int, float, complex<\/span>
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  • Text: str<\/span>
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  • Boolean: bool<\/span>
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  • Sequence: list, tuple, range<\/span>
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  • Set: set, frozenset<\/span>
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  • Mapping: dict<\/span>
    \r\n
    \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  • Binary: bytes, bytearray, memoryview<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

    What is type casting in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

    Type casting refers to converting one data type into another. This can be done using built-in functions like int(), float(), str(), list(), etc.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    What is indentation in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

    Indentation is used to define blocks of code in Python. Unlike other languages that use braces or keywords, Python uses whitespace indentation. Improper indentation results in syntax errors.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Operators in Python<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

    What are the different types of operators in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

    Python provides several types of operators:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

      \r\n\t
    • Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, \/, %, \/\/, **<\/span>
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
    • Comparison Operators: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=<\/span>
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
    • Logical Operators: and, or, not<\/span>
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
    • Bitwise Operators: &, |, ^, ~, <<, >><\/span>
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
    • Assignment Operators: =, +=, -=, *=, \/=<\/span>
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
    • Identity Operators: is, is not<\/span>
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
    • Membership Operators: in, not in<\/span>
      \r\n
      \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

      How is the ‘is’ operator different from ‘==’?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

      The ‘==’ operator checks for value equality, while the ‘is’ operator checks for object identity, meaning whether two references point to the same memory location.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

      Strings in Python<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

      How are strings defined in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

        A list is a collection data type that is mutable, ordered, and allows duplicate elements. Lists are defined using square brackets, e.g., [1, 2, 3].<\/span><\/p>\r\n

        What is a tuple in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

        A tuple is similar to a list but is immutable, meaning it cannot be changed after creation. Tuples are defined using parentheses, e.g., (1, 2, 3).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

        What are the key differences between lists and tuples?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n
          \r\n\t
        • Lists are mutable; tuples are immutable<\/span>
          \r\n
          \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
        • Lists consume more memory<\/span>
          \r\n
          \r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
        • Tuples are generally faster than lists for iteration<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

          How can you add and remove elements in a list?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

          You can add elements using append(), extend(), or insert(), and remove elements using remove(), pop(), or del.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

          Sets and Dictionaries<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

          What is a set in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

            What is a dictionary in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

            A dictionary is an unordered collection of key-value pairs. Dictionaries are mutable and defined using curly braces with colons separating keys and values, e.g., {‘name’: ‘Alice’, ‘age’: 25}.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

            How do you access dictionary elements?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

            You can access values using keys: <\/span>my_dict[‘name’]<\/span>. You can also use the get() method, which returns None if the key is not found.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

            Control Flow Statements<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

            What are the conditional statements in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

                          A closure is a function object that retains access to variables from its enclosing lexical scope even after the outer function has completed execution. Closures are used to maintain state in a function across calls.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

                          What is a namespace in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

                          A namespace refers to the naming system used to ensure that all object names are unique. Python maintains namespaces such as local, global, built-in, and nonlocal, which define variable visibility across different program scopes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

                          What are Python scopes?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

                          Python uses a LEGB rule to determine the scope of variables: Local, Enclosing, Global, and Built-in. This hierarchy controls the order in which variable names are resolved.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

                          Memory Management in Python<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

                          How is memory managed in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

                          Python uses a private heap space to manage memory, and it includes a built-in garbage collector to clean up unused objects. The memory manager handles object allocation and deallocation transparently.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

                          What is reference counting?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

                          Reference counting tracks the number of references to an object in memory. When the count reaches zero, the object is considered unreachable and is eligible for garbage collection.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

                          What are weak references?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

                          Weak references do not increase the reference count of an object. They allow the garbage collector to destroy an object while still allowing access to it until destruction.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

                          What is garbage collection in Python?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

                          Garbage collection is the automatic process of reclaiming memory by destroying objects that are no longer in use. Python\u2019s garbage collector uses both reference counting and a cyclic garbage collector for objects involved in circular references.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
