1.What is Python and why is it popular?

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and
readability. It's popular due to its versatility, extensive libraries, and support for multiple
programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming.

2.What are the key features of Python?

Python is dynamically typed, has memory management handled by garbage collection, and
supports multiple programming paradigms. It's platform-independent and has a vast standard
library.

3.What are Python's built-in data types?

Python's built-in data types include integers (int), floating-point numbers (float), complex
numbers (complex), strings (str), booleans (bool), lists (list), tuples (tuple), sets (set), and
dictionaries (dict).

4.What is the difference between a list and a tuple in Python?

Lists are mutable, which means they can be altered after creation. Tuples are immutable,
meaning once they are created, their contents cannot be changed.

5.How does Python manage memory?

Python uses a garbage collector to track and deallocate unused memory, and it employs a
system of reference counting to keep track of which pieces of memory are in use.

6.What are Python decorators?

Decorators are a design pattern that allows you to modify the behavior of a function or class
method without altering its source code. They are applied using the @decorator_name syntax
before the function definition.

7.How do you handle exceptions in Python?

Exceptions in Python are handled with try, except, else, and finally blocks. Code that might raise
an exception is put inside the try block, exceptions are caught in the except block, code that
should run if the try block doesn't raise exceptions goes into the else block, and cleanup code
that should run no matter what goes into the finally block.

8.What are Python's comparison operators?

Python's comparison operators include ==, !=, >, <, >=, and <=. They are used to compare two
values.

9.What are Python's logical operators and how are they used?

Python's logical operators are and, or, and not. They are used to combine conditional
statements.

10.What is a lambda function in Python?

A lambda function is an anonymous, small, inline function defined with the lambda keyword. It
can take any number of arguments but can only have one expression.

11.How does the in operator work in Python?

The in operator is used to check if a value exists within an iterable like a list, tuple, set, or a key
in a dictionary.

12.What is slicing in Python?

Slicing in Python is a feature that allows you to get a subset of elements from an iterable by
specifying a start, stop, and step index.

13.What is list comprehension and provide an example?

List comprehension is a concise way to create lists in Python. Example: [x for x in range(10) if x
% 2 == 0] creates a list of even numbers from 0 to 9.

14.What is PEP 8 and why is it important?

PEP 8 is Python's style guide that promotes a readable and consistent coding style. It's
important because it standardizes the format of Python code, making it easier to maintain and
understand.

15.Can you modify the string data type in Python?

No, strings in Python are immutable, meaning you cannot change them in place. However, you
can create new strings based on modifications of existing ones.
16.What is the difference between = and == in Python?

The = operator is used to assign a value to a variable, while == is used to check if two values
are equal.

17.What are Python's arithmetic operators?

Python's arithmetic operators include addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/),
modulus (%), exponentiation (**), and floor division (//).

18.What is the difference between the is and == operators?

is checks for object identity (i.e., if both operands refer to the same object in memory), while ==
checks for value equality.

19.How do you convert between different data types in Python?

You can convert between data types using Python's built-in functions like int(), float(), str(), list(),
tuple(), and dict().

20.What is a namespace in Python?

A namespace is a container where names are mapped to objects. It ensures that names are
unique and won't lead to any conflict.
