Comprehensive Guide to Python
Programming, Data Structures,
Algorithms, and OOP With Detailed Explanations, Code Snippets, and Interview Questions Python Basics: Introduction • Python is a versatile, high-level programming language. – Interpreted and dynamically-typed – Supports multiple programming paradigms (Procedural, OOP, Functional) – Extensive standard library Python Basics: Data Types • Python has several built-in data types for handling different kinds of data. – Numbers (int, float, complex) – Strings (str) – Boolean (bool) – Collections (list, tuple, set, dictionary) • Example: name = 'Alice' age = 25 is_student = False Data Structures: Lists • Lists are ordered, mutable collections. – Dynamic size – Can hold mixed data types – Common operations: append(), pop(), slicing • Example: numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4] numbers.append(5) print(numbers) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Data Structures: Dictionaries • Dictionaries store data as key-value pairs. – Unordered and mutable – Keys must be unique – Common operations: get(), keys(), values() • Example: data = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25} print(data['name']) # Output: Alice Algorithms: Sorting • Sorting algorithms arrange elements in a specific order. – Bubble Sort: Compare adjacent elements – Merge Sort: Divide and conquer – Quick Sort: Partition-based approach Algorithms: Searching • Searching algorithms find specific elements in a dataset. – Linear Search: Sequentially check each element – Binary Search: Divide the dataset (sorted) and conquer Object-Oriented Programming: Basics • OOP is a paradigm based on the concept of objects containing data and methods. – Encapsulation: Wrapping data and methods together – Inheritance: Reusing code via parent-child relationships – Polymorphism: Same interface, different implementations OOP: Advanced Concepts • Dive deeper into OOP with advanced techniques. – Abstract classes and interfaces – Method overloading and overriding – Metaclasses and decorators Interview Questions: Python Basics • Common Python interview questions: – What are Python's key features? – Explain the difference between a shallow copy and a deep copy. – How does Python manage memory? Interview Questions: Data Structures • Focus on understanding the following: – Explain the difference between arrays and linked lists. – How do you implement a stack in Python? – What is a hash table, and how does it work?
