1. What is Python?

- A high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity.

2. What is the difference between an interpreter and a compiler?

- An interpreter executes code line by line, while a compiler converts the whole program into machine code at

once.

3. What is a variable?

- A named location in memory to store data.

4. What is a constant?

- A value that does not change during program execution.

5. What are Python keywords?

- Reserved words with special meanings in Python, e.g., if, for, while.

6. What is a data type?

- Specifies the kind of data a variable can hold, e.g., int, float, str.

7. What are the basic data types in Python?

- int, float, str, bool, list, tuple, dict.

8. What is a string?

- A sequence of characters enclosed in quotes (" " or ' ').

- Converting one data type to another, e.g., int("10").

10. What is the type() function?

- Returns the data type of a variable.

11. What is the purpose of the id() function?

- Returns the memory address of a variable.

12. What is a list in Python?

- An ordered, mutable collection of items.

13. What is a tuple?

- An ordered, immutable collection of items.

14. What is a dictionary?

- A collection of key-value pairs.

15. What is a set in Python?

- An unordered collection of unique elements.

16. What is a loop?

- A structure that executes a block of code repeatedly.

17. What is a for loop?

- Executes a block of code for each item in a sequence.

- Executes a block of code while a condition is true.

19. What is the difference between break and continue?

- break: Exits the loop.

- continue: Skips the current iteration and continues the loop.

20. What is the pass statement?

- A placeholder that does nothing and is used to maintain the structure of a program.

21. What is a function?

- A block of reusable code that performs a specific task.

22. What is the purpose of the def keyword?

- Used to define a function.

23. What is the return value of a function?

- The value that a function sends back after execution using the return statement.

24. What are arguments in Python?

- Values passed to a function when it is called.

25. What are default arguments?

- Arguments that take predefined values if no value is provided during function call.

26. What is recursion?

27. What is a module?

- A file containing Python code that can be imported into another program.

28. What is the math module?

- A Python module with mathematical functions like sqrt(), sin(), etc.

29. What is file handling?

- Reading and writing to files.

30. What are the modes in file handling?

- r (read), w (write), a (append), rb (read binary), etc.

31. What is the with statement?

- Simplifies file handling and ensures files are properly closed after operations.

32. What is the purpose of the open() function?

- Opens a file for reading, writing, or appending.

33. What is exception handling?

- Managing errors during program execution.

34. What is the try block?

- Contains code that might raise an exception.

35. What is the except block?

36. What is the difference between mutable and immutable objects?

- Mutable: Can be changed (e.g., lists).

- Immutable: Cannot be changed (e.g., strings, tuples).

37. What is a class?

- A blueprint for creating objects.

38. What is an object?

- An instance of a class.

39. What is the self keyword?

- Represents the instance of the class in methods.

40. What is inheritance in Python?

- A feature that allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class.

41. What is a constructor?

- A special method (__init__) that initializes an object.

42. What is encapsulation?

- Restricting access to certain details of an object to protect data.

43. What is polymorphism?

- A feature that allows a function or method to behave differently based on input or context.
44. What is an iterator?

- An object that allows sequential traversal of a collection.

45. What is a generator?

- A function that returns an iterator and uses yield instead of return.

46. What is the purpose of the lambda keyword?

- Creates anonymous (nameless) functions.

47. What is the map() function?

- Applies a function to every item in a sequence.

48. What is the filter() function?

- Filters items in a sequence based on a condition.

49. What is the zip() function?

- Combines multiple iterables into one.

50. What is the enumerate() function?

- Adds a counter to an iterable.

51. What is a package?

- A collection of related Python modules.

52. What is the difference between a shallow copy and a deep copy?

- Shallow Copy: Creates a new object but references the original elements.

- Deep Copy: Creates a new object and recursively copies all elements.
53. What is the purpose of the is operator?

- Checks if two objects have the same memory location.

54. What is the difference between is and ==?

- is: Checks object identity.

- ==: Checks object value.

55. What is the purpose of the not operator?

- Returns the opposite boolean value.

56. What is the len() function?

- Returns the number of items in an object (e.g., a string, list).

57. What is the sorted() function?

- Returns a sorted list from the input iterable.

58. What is the difference between sort() and sorted()?

- sort(): Modifies the original list.

- sorted(): Returns a new sorted list.

59. What is the difference between append() and extend() in lists?

- append(): Adds a single item to the end of the list.

- extend(): Adds multiple items to the list.

60. What is the difference between pop() and remove() in lists?

- pop(): Removes an item by index.
