Python Developer Interview Questions

& Answers (Based on Resume)


1. What Python libraries or frameworks have you used in your projects or
training?
I have primarily used core Python for problem-solving and Data Science tasks during
workshops. I'm familiar with libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib through
certification courses. Additionally, I’ve worked on backend projects using Node.js and front-
end with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and have used Power BI for data visualization.

2. How is Python different from Java and C, which you also know?
Python is dynamically typed and interpreted, making it easier for rapid development and
scripting. Java is statically typed and compiled, which gives it performance advantages in
some cases. C is closer to hardware and allows for low-level memory manipulation.
Python’s syntax is simpler, making it more readable and beginner-friendly.

3. Can you explain how object-oriented programming works in Python?


Yes. Python supports OOP using classes and objects, and includes principles like
inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism. I have practiced implementing
classes, constructors, and inheritance while solving OOP-based problems in Python.

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


- List: Mutable and ordered (e.g., [1, 2, 3])
- Tuple: Immutable and ordered (e.g., (1, 2, 3))
- Set: Mutable and unordered, contains unique values (e.g., {1, 2, 3})

5. Have you worked with databases using Python?


Yes. I understand how to use Python to connect with MySQL using mysql.connector or
SQLAlchemy. I’ve also done theoretical work on MongoDB, and completed a course on it
through Great Learning.

6. What are Python decorators and where would you use them?
Decorators are functions that modify the behavior of another function without changing its
code. They’re used for logging, access control, memoization, etc. For example,
@login_required in Flask apps is a typical use-case.

7. Explain exception handling in Python.


Python uses try-except blocks for exception handling. You can also use else and finally
blocks. For example:
```python
try:
x=1/0
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("Cannot divide by zero")
finally:
print("Execution finished")
```

8. How would you optimize performance in a Python script?


I would:
- Use built-in functions and libraries
- Avoid unnecessary loops
- Use generators instead of lists where applicable
- Profile code using tools like cProfile or timeit

9. What is the difference between is and == in Python?


- == checks for value equality.
- is checks for reference or identity equality (whether two variables point to the same object
in memory).

10. Describe a Python-based mini-project you’ve worked on.


I created a To-Do List Web App using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Node.js on the backend.
While the backend wasn't in Python, I practiced Python-based CRUD apps during
certification workshops and can implement such functionality using Flask or Django.

11. How would you explain Python's role in Data Science?


Python is widely used in Data Science for data cleaning, visualization, and machine learning.
Libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib allow manipulation and visualization of large
datasets efficiently.

12. Have you used Power BI with Python?


Yes. While I primarily used Power BI's native features for visualizing the UK Bank dataset,
I’m aware that Power BI supports Python scripts for data modeling and custom visuals.

13. Can you describe how version control works and which tools you've used?
I use Git for version control. It allows me to track changes, revert to previous versions, and
collaborate with others. I use GitHub to host and manage repositories, such as my 2048
Game and Analog Clock project.

14. Write a Python program to reverse a string.


```python
def reverse_string(s):
return s[::-1]
print(reverse_string("Dhawal"))
```

15. Write a Python program to count frequency of characters in a string.


```python
from collections import Counter
def char_frequency(s):
return Counter(s)

print(char_frequency("hello world"))
```

16. Write a Python program to check if a number is prime.


```python
def is_prime(n):
if n < 2:
return False
for i in range(2, int(n**0.5)+1):
if n % i == 0:
return False
return True
```
