Basic Python Interview Questions

Q: What is Python?

A: Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability.

It supports multiple paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. It

is widely used in web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and more.

Q: What are variables in Python?

A: Variables in Python are containers for storing data values. You don't need to declare their type

explicitly. For example:

x=5

name = 'Alice'

Python automatically assigns the data type.

Q: How do you comment in Python?

A: Use the hash symbol (#) for single-line comments. For multi-line comments, use triple quotes:

# This is a single-line comment

'''

This is a

multi-line comment

'''

Q: What is the difference between list and tuple?

A: Lists are mutable and defined using square brackets []. Tuples are immutable and use

parentheses (). Example:

list1 = [1, 2, 3]

tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)

Q: What are Python's data types?

A: Common data types in Python include:


Python Interview and Practice Questions

- int

- float

- str

- list

- tuple

- dict

- set

- bool

Q: How do you check the type of a variable?

A: Use the type() function. Example:

x = 10

print(type(x)) # Output: <class 'int'>

Q: What is indentation in Python?

A: Indentation refers to spaces or tabs used to define blocks of code. It is mandatory in Python.

Improper indentation results in IndentationError.

Q: How do you take input from a user?

A: Use the input() function. It always returns a string:

name = input('Enter your name: ')

Q: What is the difference between = and == ?

A: = is an assignment operator. == is a comparison operator. Example:

x = 5 # assigns 5 to x

print(x == 5) # checks if x equals 5

Q: How do you convert data types?

A: Use typecasting functions:

- int('5') => 5

- str(10) => '10'


Python Interview and Practice Questions

- float('3.14') => 3.14

Intermediate Python Interview Questions

Q: What is a Python function?

A: A function is a block of reusable code defined using the def keyword. Example:

def greet(name):

return f'Hello, {name}'

Q: What are *args and **kwargs?

A: *args allows a function to accept any number of positional arguments. **kwargs allows any

number of keyword arguments.

Example:

def func(*args, **kwargs):

pass

Q: What is list comprehension?

A: It is a concise way to create lists. Example:

squares = [x**2 for x in range(5)] # [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

Q: What is a lambda function?

A: An anonymous, single-expression function:

square = lambda x: x * x

print(square(5)) # 25

Q: What is a Python module?

A: A file containing Python definitions and code. Use `import module_name` to include it.

Q: What is a package in Python?


Python Interview and Practice Questions

A: A package is a collection of modules in a directory with an __init__.py file.

Q: What is the difference between is and ==?

A: == checks value equality, while is checks identity (memory location).

x = [1]

y = [1]

x == y # True

x is y # False

Q: How is exception handling done in Python?

A: Using try-except blocks:

try:

risky_code()

except Exception as e:

print(e)

Q: What is the purpose of the 'with' statement?

A: It simplifies exception handling for resources like files. Example:

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

data = f.read()

Q: What are generators?

A: Generators yield items one at a time using `yield`. They are memory-efficient for large datasets.

Example:

def gen():

yield 1

yield 2
