2. Python Data Types:

- int, float, bool, str, list, tuple, set, dict, NoneType

3. List vs Tuple:

- List is mutable, Tuple is immutable.

4. Memory Management:

- Reference counting, garbage collection.

5. *args and **kwargs:

def func(*args, **kwargs):

print(args)

print(kwargs)

6. is vs ==:

- 'is' checks identity, '==' checks value.

7. Conditional Statements: if, elif, else

8. List Comprehension: [x*x for x in range(5)]

9. Lambda Function: add = lambda x, y: x + y

10. Python 2 vs 3:

- print as function, integer division changes, unicode.

11. Decorators:

def deco(func):

def wrap():

print('Before')

print('After')

return wrap

12. @staticmethod vs @classmethod vs instance method

13. Generator:

def gen():

yield 1

- Module: .py file, Package: folder with __init__.py

15. Exception Handling:

try:

1/0

except ZeroDivisionError as e:

print(e)

16. Built-in functions: map(), filter(), zip(), enumerate(), sorted()

17. deepcopy vs copy:

- deepcopy copies nested objects.

18. Context Manager:

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

data = f.read()

19. Monkey Patching: Dynamic behavior change at runtime.

20. Handling Memory Leaks: Use gc, avoid circular refs.
