What type of programming language is Python?

→ Python is a high-level, interpreted, and dynamically-typed programming


language.
What is the difference between list and tuple in Python?
→ Lists are mutable, while tuples are immutable.
What is the purpose of indentation in Python?
→ Indentation defines code blocks instead of using braces {}.
How do you create a virtual environment in Python?
→ Use python -m venv env_name.
What is the difference between is and == in Python?
→ is checks object identity, while == checks value equality.
What is the difference between Python 2 and Python 3?
→ Python 3 improved Unicode handling, print statements, and integer division.
What is the purpose of self in Python classes?
→ self represents the instance of the class.
What is the difference between deepcopy() and copy()?
→ copy() creates a shallow copy, while deepcopy() creates an independent copy
of nested objects.
What is a Python decorator?
→ A function that modifies another function’s behavior without modifying its
code.
What is the difference between @staticmethod and @classmethod?
→ @staticmethod doesn’t use class or instance data, while @classmethod takes
the class as its first argument.
What is Python’s garbage collection mechanism?
→ Python uses reference counting and a cyclic garbage collector.
What is a lambda function in Python?
→ A small anonymous function using the lambda keyword.
What is the difference between append() and extend() in Python lists?
→ append() adds a single element, while extend() merges another iterable.
How do you check the Python version installed?
→ Use python --version or sys.version.
What is the purpose of the with statement in Python?
→ It simplifies resource management by automatically closing files or releasing
resources.
What is a generator in Python?
→ A function that yields values lazily using the yield keyword.
What is the difference between range() and xrange()?
→ xrange() existed in Python 2 and returned a generator, while range() in Python
3 behaves like xrange().
What is the difference between mutable and immutable types in Python?
→ Mutable types (lists, dictionaries) can be modified, while immutable types
(tuples, strings) cannot.
What is the purpose of if __name__ == "__main__": in Python?
→ It ensures that a script runs only when executed directly, not when imported.
What is the difference between *args and **kwargs?
→ *args collects positional arguments, while **kwargs collects keyword
arguments.
What is the difference between split() and join() in Python?
→ split() breaks a string into a list, while join() merges a list into a string.
What is the difference between del, pop(), and remove()?
→ del removes an item by index, pop() removes and returns an item, and
remove() deletes an item by value.
What is the purpose of dir() in Python?
→ It lists all attributes and methods of an object.
What is the difference between any() and all() functions?
→ any() returns True if at least one element is True, while all() returns True only if
all elements are True.
How do you handle exceptions in Python?
→ Using try, except, finally, and else blocks.
What is the difference between global and nonlocal keywords?
→ global modifies global variables, while nonlocal modifies variables in an
enclosing function.
What is monkey patching in Python?
→ Modifying or replacing methods at runtime.
What is the purpose of the pass statement?
→ It acts as a placeholder for future code.
What is the difference between Python arrays and lists?
→ Lists can hold mixed data types, while arrays (from array module) store only
one type.
What is Python’s __init__.py file used for?
→ It marks a directory as a Python package.
