Technical Interview Questions Info

The document summarizes an interview between an interviewer and a candidate named Ashrith. The interviewer asked Ashrith technical questions about Python concepts like strings, classes, inheritance, data structures, SQL and problem solving. Ashrith was able to answer most questions correctly but got a few wrong like maximum runs in cricket. Overall it seemed to go well and Ashrith was told they would be shortlisted, though an offer was not yet guaranteed as interviews were still being conducted.

Interviewer : Write a code to demonstrate dynamic method dispatch.

Me : Did

Interviewer : What is an abstract class and how do you declare abstract method in
Python?

Me : Told.

Interviewer : Can static, private, final methods be overridden?

Me : No sir. However overriding static methods won�t give any compile time error
but the other 2 will.

Interviewer : Good. How are arguments passed by value or by reference?

Me : told.

Interviewer : So Ashrith, What is PYTHONPATH?

Interviewer : What is 1 NF (Normal Form)?

Interviewer : When can you override clone method of Object class.

And we should do that only when there will arise a problem of shallow copy.

Interviewer : What is an extensible framework?

Me : Explained him thoroughly using separate chaining method and using a bucket
array. A lot of questions were asked from it as well.

Interviewer : Ok Ashrith now let me now test on your problem solving skills?

Interviewer : Explain me using generator to print the even numbers between 0 and n
in comma separated form while n is input by console. Do it for me in the most
efficient way. Just tell me the approach.

Me : Use yield to produce the next value in generator. In case of input data being
supplied to the question, it should be assumed to be a console input.

Interviewer : Good that will work. Over to the next question.

Define a function which can generate a dictionary where the keys are numbers
between 1 and 20 (both included) and the values are square of keys. The function
should just print the values only.

Me: Sir, Use dict[key]=value pattern to put entry into a dictionary.


Use ** operator to get power of a number.
Use range() for loops.
Use keys() to iterate keys in the dictionary. Also we can use item() to get
key/value pairs.

Interviewer : How will u detect loop in a linked list?

Me : Will keep a boolean array and if i visit one loop will mark it as visited�.

Interviewer : (Interrupting me.) I don�t want to waste extra space.

ideal case ?

Interviewer : OK Ashrith, I am done. Thanks for your time.

Me : Thank you Sir.

I think I missed few questions that were asked.I cleared the technical round and
had another round (HR) which lasted for around 30 minutes. Then all of us were told
that we have been shortlisted after having clearing written test. However they
couldn�t confirm us the offer as they have to visit other centers and will take
total of 200 candidates from all over India.

It was an awesome experience and for the first time. Waiting for the results.
