Python Interview Preparation Guide

1. Python Basics

Understand the core syntax and data types:


- Variables: Declaration and assignment
- Data Types: int, float, str, bool, None
- Operators: Arithmetic, Logical, Comparison
- Conditionals: if, elif, else
- Loops: for, while, break, continue
- Functions: def, return, *args, **kwargs
Examples:
- Write a calculator using functions
- Use loops to print Fibonacci series

2. Data Structures

- List: append, pop, sort, slicing


- Tuple: immutable sequences
- Set: unique elements, set operations
- Dict: key-value pairs, get(), items()
- String: slicing, formatting, methods
Examples:
- Remove duplicates from list
- Count word frequency using dict

3. Advanced Python

- List Comprehensions
- Lambda Functions
- Map, Filter, Reduce
- Generators using yield
- Decorators
- Exception Handling (try-except-finally)
- File I/O using open(), read(), write()
Examples:
- Create a generator for Fibonacci
- Filter even numbers from a list

4. OOP in Python

- Class and Object creation


- Constructor (__init__)

- Instance and Class Variables


- Inheritance and Polymorphism
- Encapsulation
- Dunder Methods (__str__, __repr__)
Examples:
- Class for Bank Account
- Animal class with Inheritance

5. Algorithms and Problem Solving

- Sorting: Bubble, Merge, Quick


- Searching: Linear, Binary
- Recursion: Factorial, Fibonacci
- Dynamic Programming (memoization)
- Sliding Window, Two-pointer technique
Examples:
- Two Sum Problem
- Longest Palindromic Substring

6. Common Interview Questions

- Mutable vs Immutable types


- is vs ==
- Global Interpreter Lock (GIL)
- Memory management in Python
- List vs Tuple vs Set vs Dict
- Shallow vs Deep Copy (copy module)
- @staticmethod vs @classmethod

7. Useful Libraries

- collections: Counter, defaultdict, deque

- math, random
- datetime
- re (regular expressions)
Examples:
- Generate permutations of a string
- Use regex to extract phone numbers
