VIVA Questions
1) What is Python? What are the benefits of using Python?

Python is a programming language with objects, modules, threads, exceptions and automatic memory
management. The benefits of pythons are that it is simple and easy, portable, extensible, build-in data structure
and it is an open source.
2) What is PEP 8?
PEP 8 is a coding convention, a set of recommendation, about how to write your Python code more readable.
3) What is pickling and unpickling?
Pickle module accepts any Python object and converts it into a string representation and dumps it into a file by
using dump function, this process is called pickling. While the process of retrieving original Python objects
from the stored string representation is called unpickling.
4) How Python is interpreted?
Python language is an interpreted language. Python program runs directly from the source code. It converts the
source code that is written by the programmer into an intermediate language, which is again translated into
machine language that has to be executed.
5) How memory is managed in Python?
 Python memory is managed by Python private heap space. All Python objects and data structures are
located in a private heap. The programmer does not have an access to this private heap and interpreter
takes care of this Python private heap.
 The allocation of Python heap space for Python objects is done by Python memory manager. The core
API gives access to some tools for the programmer to code.
 Python also have an inbuilt garbage collector, which recycle all the unused memory and frees the
memory and makes it available to the heap space.
6) What are the tools that help to find bugs or perform static analysis?
PyChecker is a static analysis tool that detects the bugs in Python source code and warns about the style and
complexity of the bug. Pylint is another tool that verifies whether the module meets the coding standard.
7) What are Python decorators?
A Python decorator is a specific change that we make in Python syntax to alter functions easily.
8) What is the difference between list and tuple?
The difference between list and tuple is that list is mutable while tuple is not. Tuple can be hashed for e.g as a
key for dictionaries.
9) How are arguments passed by value or by reference?
Everything in Python is an object and all variables hold references to the objects. The references values are
according to the functions; as a result you cannot change the value of the references. However, you can change
the objects if it is mutable.
10) What is Dict and List comprehensions are?
They are syntax constructions to ease the creation of a Dictionary or List based on existing iterable.
11) What are the built-in type does python provides?
There are mutable and Immutable types of Pythons built in types Mutable built-in types
 List
 Sets
 Dictionaries
Immutable built-in types
 Strings
 Tuples
18
 Numbers
12) What is namespace in Python?
In Python, every name introduced has a place where it lives and can be hooked for. This is known as
namespace. It is like a box where a variable name is mapped to the object placed. Whenever the variable is
searched out, this box will be searched, to get corresponding object.
13) What is lambda in Python?
It is a single expression anonymous function often used as inline function.
14) Why lambda forms in python does not have statements?
A lambda form in python does not have statements as it is used to make new function object and then return
them at runtime.
15) What is pass in Python?
Pass means, no-operation Python statement, or in other words it is a place holder in compound statement,
where there should be a blank left and nothing has to be written there.
16) In Python what are iterators?
In Python, iterators are used to iterate a group of elements, containers like list.
17) What is unittest in Python?
A unit testing framework in Python is known as unittest. It supports sharing of setups, automation testing,
shutdown code for tests, aggregation of tests into collections etc.
18) In Python what is slicing?
A mechanism to select a range of items from sequence types like list, tuple, strings etc. is known as slicing.
19) What are generators in Python?
The way of implementing iterators are known as generators. It is a normal function except that it yields
expression in the function.
20) What is docstring in Python?
A Python documentation string is known as docstring, it is a way of documenting Python functions, modules
and classes.
21) How can you copy an object in Python?
To copy an object in Python, you can try copy.copy () or copy.deepcopy() for the general case. You cannot
copy all objects but most of them.
22) What is negative index in Python?
Python sequences can be index in positive and negative numbers. For positive index, 0 is the first index, 1 is
the second index and so forth. For negative index, (-1) is the last index and (-2) is the second last index and so
forth.
23) How you can convert a number to a string?
In order to convert a number into a string, use the inbuilt function str(). If you want a octal or hexadecimal
representation, use the inbuilt function oct() or hex().
24) What is the difference between Xrange and range?
Xrange returns the xrange object while range returns the list, and uses the same memory and no matter what
the range size is.
25) What is module and package in Python?
In Python, module is the way to structure program. Each Python program file is a module, which imports other
modules like objects and attributes.
The folder of Python program is a package of modules. A package can have modules or subfolders.
26) Mention what are the rules for local and global variables in Python?
Local variables: If a variable is assigned a new value anywhere within the function's body, it's assumed to be
local.
Global variables: Those variables that are only referenced inside a function are implicitly global.
27) How can you share global variables across modules?
To share global variables across modules within a single program, create a special module. Import the config
module in all modules of your application. The module will be available as a global variable across modules.
28) Explain how can you make a Python Script executable on Unix?
To make a Python Script executable on Unix, you need to do two things,
 Script file's mode must be executable and
 the first line must begin with # ( #!/usr/local/bin/python)
29) Explain how to delete a file in Python?
19
By using a command os.remove (filename) or os.unlink(filename)
30) Explain how can you generate random numbers in Python?
To generate random numbers in Python, you need to import command as
import random
random.random()
This returns a random floating point number in the range [0,1)

42
Ans: Python does not deprive access to an instance variable or function. Python lays down the concept of
prefixing the name of the variable, function or method with a single or double underscore to imitate the
behavior of protected and private access specifiers.
24. What is map function in Python?
Ans: map function executes the function given as the first argument on all the elements of the iterable given as the second
argument. If the function given takes in more than 1 arguments, then many iterables are given. #Follow the link to know
more similar functions.
25. Mention what are the rules for local and global variables in Python?
Local variables: If a variable is assigned a new value anywhere within the function's body, it's assumed to be
local.
26. How can you share global variables across modules?
To share global variables across modules within a single program, create a special module. Import the config
module in all modules of your application. The module will be available as a global variable across modules.

Q-1: What Are The Different Methods To Copy An Object In Python?

There are two ways to copy objects in Python.
 copy.copy() function
44
 It makes a copy of the file from source to destination.
 It’ll return a shallow copy of the parameter.
 copy.deepcopy() function
 It also produces the copy of an object from the source to destination.
 It’ll return a deep copy of the parameter that you can pass to the function.
Q-2: What Is The Purpose Of Docstrings In Python?
In Python, the docstring is what we call as the docstrings. It sets a process of recording Python functions, modules, and
classes.
Q-90: Which Python Function Will You Use To Convert A Number To A String?
For converting a number into a string, you can use the built-in function str(). If you want an octal or hexadecimal
Q-3: What’s The Process To Get The Home Directory Using ‘~’ In Python?
You need to import the os module, and then just a single line would do the rest.
import os
print (os.path.expanduser('~'))
Output:
/home/runner
Q-5: What Are The Built-In Types Available In Python?
Here is the list of most commonly used built-in types that Python supports:
 Immutable built-in datatypes of Python
 Numbers
 Strings
 Tuples
 Mutable built-in datatypes of Python
 List
 Dictionaries
 Sets
Q-6: How To Find Bugs Or Perform Static Analysis In A Python Application?
 You can use PyChecker, which is a static analyzer. It identifies the bugs in Python project and also reveals the style
and complexity related bugs.
 Another tool is Pylint, which checks whether the Python module satisfies the coding standard.
Q-7: When Is The Python Decorator Used?
Python decorator is a relative change that you do in Python syntax to adjust the functions quickly.
Q-8: What Is The Principal Difference Between A List And The Tuple?
List Vs. Tuple.
The principal difference between a list and the tuple is that the former is mutable while the tuple is not.
A tuple is allowed to be hashed, for example, using it as a key for dictionaries.
Q-9: How Does Python Handle Memory Management?
 Python uses private heaps to maintain its memory. So the heap holds all the Python objects and the data structures.
This area is only accessible to the Python interpreter; programmers can’t use it.
 And it’s the Python memory manager that handles the Private heap. It does the required allocation of the memory
for Python objects.
 Python employs a built-in garbage collector, which salvages all the unused memory and offloads it to the heap
space.
Q-10: What Are The Principal Differences Between The Lambda And Def?
Lambda Vs. Def.
 Def can hold multiple expressions while lambda is a uni-expression function.
 Def generates a function and designates a name to call it later. Lambda forms a function object and returns it.
 Def can have a return statement. Lambda can’t have return statements.
 Lambda supports to get used inside a list and dictionary.
Q-11: Write A Reg Expression That Confirms An Email Id Using The Python Reg Expression Module “Re”?
Python has a regular expression module “re.”
Check out the “re” expression that can check the email id for .com and .co.in subdomain.
import re
print(re.search(r"[0-9a-zA-Z.]+@[a-zA-Z]+\.(com|co\.in)$","[email protected]"))
Q-12: What Do You Think Is The Output Of The Following Code Fragment? Is There Any Error In The Code?
list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
45
print (list[10:])
The result of the above lines of code is []. There won’t be any error like an IndexError.
You should know that trying to fetch a member from the list using an index that exceeds the member count (for example,
attempting to access list[10] as given in the question) would yield an IndexError. By the way, retrieving only a slice at the
starting index that surpasses the no. of items in the list won’t result in an IndexError. It will just return an empty list.
Q-13: Is There A Switch Or Case Statement In Python? If Not Then What Is The Reason For The Same?
No, Python does not have a Switch statement, but you can write a Switch function and then use it.
Q-14: What Is A Built-In Function That Python Uses To Iterate Over A Number Sequence?
Range() generates a list of numbers, which is used to iterate over for loops.
for i in range(5):
print(i)
The range() function accompanies two sets of parameters.
 range(stop)
 stop: It is the no. of integers to generate and starts from zero. eg.range(3) == [0, 1, 2].
 range([start], stop[, step])
 Start: It is the starting no. of the sequence.
 Stop: It specifies the upper limit of the sequence.
 Step: It is the incrementing factor for generating the sequence.
 Points to note:
 Only integer arguments are allowed.
 Parameters can be positive or negative.
 The range() function in Python starts from the zeroth index.
Q-15: What Are The Optional Statements Possible Inside A Try-Except Block In Python?
There are two optional clauses you can use in the try-except block.
 The “else” clause
 It is useful if you want to run a piece of code when the try block doesn’t create an exception.
 The “finally” clause
 It is useful when you want to execute some steps which run, irrespective of whether there occurs an exception
or not.
Q-16: What Is A String In Python?
A string in Python is a sequence of alpha-numeric characters. They are immutable objects. It means that they don’t allow
modification once they get assigned a value. Python provides several methods, such as join(), replace(), or split() to alter
strings. But none of these change the original object.
Q-17: What Is Slicing In Python?
Slicing is a string operation for extracting a part of the string, or some part of a list. In Python, a string (say text) begins at
index 0, and the nth character stores at position text[n-1]. Python can also perform reverse indexing, i.e., in the backward
direction, with the help of negative numbers. In Python, the slice() is also a constructor function which generates a slice
object. The result is a set of indices mentioned by range(start, stop, step). The slice() method allows three parameters. 1.
start – starting number for the slicing to begin. 2. stop – the number which indicates the end of slicing. 3. step – the value
to increment after each index (default = 1).
Q-18: What Is %S In Python?
Python has support for formatting any value into a string. It may contain quite complex expressions.
One of the common usages is to push values into a string with the %s format specifier. The formatting operation in
Python has the comparable syntax as the C function printf() has.
Q-19: Is A String Immutable Or Mutable In Python?
Python strings are indeed immutable.
Let’s take an example. We have an “str” variable holding a string value. We can’t mutate the container, i.e., the string, but
can modify what it contains that means the value of the variable.
Q-20: What Is The Index In Python?
An index is an integer data type which denotes a position within an ordered list or a string.
In Python, strings are also lists of characters. We can access them using the index which begins from zero and goes to the
length minus one.
For example, in the string “Program,” the indexing happens like this:
Program 0 1 2 3 4 5
Q-21: What Is Docstring In Python?
A docstring is a unique text that happens to be the first statement in the following Python constructs:
Module, Function, Class, or Method definition.
A docstring gets added to the __doc__ attribute of the string object.
Now, read some of the Python interview questions on functions.

Q-22: What Is A Function In Python Programming?
A function is an object which represents a block of code and is a reusable entity. It brings modularity to a program and a
higher degree of code reusability.
Python has given us many built-in functions such as print() and provides the ability to create user-defined functions.
Q-23: How Many Basic Types Of Functions Are Available In Python?
Python gives us two basic types of functions.
1. Built-in, and
2. User-defined.
The built-in functions happen to be part of the Python language. Some of these are print(), dir(), len(), and abs() etc.
Q-24: How Do We Write A Function In Python?
We can create a Python function in the following manner.
Step-1: to begin the function, start writing with the keyword def and then mention the function name.
Step-2: We can now pass the arguments and enclose them using the parentheses. A colon, in the end, marks the end of the
function header.
Step-3: After pressing an enter, we can add the desired Python statements for execution.
Q-25: What Is A Function Call Or A Callable Object In Python?
A function in Python gets treated as a callable object. It can allow some arguments and also return a value or multiple
values in the form of a tuple. Apart from the function, Python has other constructs, such as classes or the class instances
which fits in the same category.
Q-26: What Is The Return Keyword Used For In Python?
The purpose of a function is to receive the inputs and return some output.
The return is a Python statement which we can use in a function for sending a value back to its caller.
Q-27: What Is “Call By Value” In Python?
In call-by-value, the argument whether an expression or a value gets bound to the respective variable in the function.
Python will treat that variable as local in the function-level scope. Any changes made to that variable will remain local
and will not reflect outside the function.
Q-28: What Is “Call By Reference” In Python?
We use both “call-by-reference” and “pass-by-reference” interchangeably. When we pass an argument by reference, then
it is available as an implicit reference to the function, rather than a simple copy. In such a case, any modification to the
argument will also be visible to the caller.
This scheme also has the advantage of bringing more time and space efficiency because it leaves the need for creating
local copies.
On the contrary, the disadvantage could be that a variable can get changed accidentally during a function call. Hence, the
programmers need to handle in the code to avoid such uncertainty.
Q-29: What Is The Return Value Of The Trunc() Function?
The Python trunc() function performs a mathematical operation to remove the decimal values from a particular expression
and provides an integer value as its output.
Q-30: Is It Mandatory For A Python Function To Return A Value?
It is not at all necessary for a function to return any value. However, if needed, we can use None as a return value.

We can also use the **kwargs syntax in a Python function declaration. It let us
5. What Does The __ Name __ Do In Python?
The __name__ is a unique variable. Since Python doesn’t expose the main() function, so when its interpreter gets
to run the script, it first executes the code which is at level 0 indentation.
6. What Is The Purpose Of “End” In Python?
Python’s print() function always prints a newline in the end. The print() function accepts an optional parameter
known as the ‘end.’ Its value is ‘\n’ by default. We can change the end character in a print statement with the
value of our choice using this parameter.
7. When Should You Use The “Break” In Python?
Python provides a break statement to exit from a loop. Whenever the break hits in the code, the control of the
program immediately exits from the body of the loop.
The break statement in a nested loop causes the control to exit from the inner iterative block.
8. What Is The Difference Between Pass And Continue In Python?
The continue statement makes the loop to resume from the next iteration.
On the contrary, the pass statement instructs to do nothing, and the remainder of the code executes as usual.
9. What Does The Len() Function Do In Python?
In Python, the len() is a primary string function. It determines the length of an input string.
10. What Does The Chr() Function Do In Python?

The tests confirmed that PyPy is nearly five times faster than the CPython. It currently supports Python 2.7.
20. What Is GIL In Python Language?
Python supports GIL (the global interpreter lock) which is a mutex used to secure access to Python objects,
synchronizing multiple threads from running the Python bytecodes at the same time.
21. How Is Python Thread Safe?
Python ensures safe access to threads. It uses the GIL mutex to set synchronization. If a thread loses the GIL lock
at any time, then you have to make the code thread-safe.
22. How Does Python Manage The Memory?
Python implements a heap manager internally which holds all of its objects and data structures.
23. What Is A Tuple In Python?
A tuple is a collection type data structure in Python which is immutable.
They are similar to sequences, just like the lists. However, There are some differences between a tuple and list;
the former doesn’t allow modifications whereas the list does.
24. What Is A Dictionary In Python Programming?
A dictionary is a data structure known as an associative array in Python which stores a collection of objects.
The collection is a set of keys having a single associated value. We can call it a hash, a map, or a hashmap as it
gets called in other programming languages.
25. What Is The Set Object In Python?
Sets are unordered collection objects in Python. They store unique and immutable objects. Python has its
implementation derived from mathematics.
26. What Is The Use Of The Dictionary In Python?
A dictionary has a group of objects (the keys) map to another group of objects (the values). A Python dictionary
represents a mapping of unique Keys to Values.
They are mutable and hence will not change. The values associated with the keys can be of any Python types.
27. Is Python List A Linked List?
A Python list is a variable-length array which is different from C-style linked lists.

Let’s take the example of building site statistics. For this, we first need to break up the key-value pairs using a colon(“:”).
The keys should be of an immutable type, i.e., so we’ll use the data-types which don’t allow changes at runtime. We’ll
choose from an int, string, or tuple.
8. What Are Decorators In Python?
Python decorator gives us the ability to add new behavior to the given objects dynamically.
9. What Is Class In Python?

Python supports object-oriented programming and provides almost all OOP features to use in programs.
A Python class is a blueprint for creating the objects. It defines member variables and gets their behavior
associated with them.
We can make it by using the keyword “class.” An object gets created from the constructor. This object represents
the instance of the class.
10. What Are Attributes And Methods In A Python Class?
A class is useless if it has not defined any functionality. We can do so by adding attributes. They work as
containers for data and functions. We can add an attribute directly specifying inside the class body.
11. How To Assign Values For The Class Attributes At Runtime?
We can specify the values for the attributes at runtime. We need to add an init method and pass input to object
constructor. See the following example demonstrating this.
12. What Is Inheritance In Python Programming?
Inheritance is an OOP mechanism which allows an object to access its parent class features. It carries forward the
base class functionality to the child.
13. What Is Composition In Python?
The composition is also a type of inheritance in Python. It intends to inherit from the base class but a little
differently, i.e., by using an instance variable of the base class acting as a member of the derived class.
14. What Are Errors And Exceptions In Python Programs?
Errors are coding issues in a program which may cause it to exit abnormally.
53
On the contrary, exceptions happen due to the occurrence of an external event which interrupts the normal flow
of the program.
15. How Do You Handle Exceptions With Try/Except/Finally In Python?
Python lay down Try, Except, Finally constructs to handle errors as well as Exceptions. We enclose the unsafe
code indented under the try block. And we can keep our fall-back code inside the except block. Any instructions
intended for execution last should come under the finally block.
16. How Do You Raise Exceptions For A Predefined Condition In Python?
We can raise an exception based on some condition.
17. What Are Python Iterators?
Iterators in Python are array-like objects which allow moving on the next element. We use them in traversing a
loop, for example, in a “for” loop.
18. What Is The Difference Between An Iterator And Iterable?
The collection type like a list, tuple, dictionary, and set are all iterable objects whereas they are also iterable
containers which return an iterator while traversing.
19. What Are Python Generators?
A Generator is a kind of function which lets us specify a function that acts like an iterator and hence can get used
in a “for” loop.

2. What Do You Know About The Python Enumerate?
While using the iterators, sometimes we might have a use case to store the count of iterations. Python gets this
task quite easy for us by giving a built-in method known as the enumerate().
The enumerate() function attaches a counter variable to an iterable and returns it as the “enumerated” object.
3. What Is The Use Of Globals() Function In Python?
The globals() function in Python returns the current global symbol table as a dictionary object.
Python maintains a symbol table to keep all necessary information about a program. This info includes the names
of variables, methods, and classes used by the program.
All the information in this table remains in the global scope of the program and Python allows us to retrieve it
using the globals() method.

15. How Do You Monitor The Code Flow Of A Program In Python?
In Python, we can use the sys module’s settrace() method to setup trace hooks and monitor the functions inside
a program.
You need to define a trace callback method and pass it to the settrace() function. The callback should specify
three arguments as shown below.
16. Why And When Do You Use Generators In Python?
A generator in Python is a function which returns an iterable object. We can iterate on the generator object using
the yield keyword. But we can only do that once because their values don’t persist in memory, they get the
values on the fly.
Generators give us the ability to hold the execution of a function or a step as long as we want to keep it.
However, here are a few examples where it is beneficial to use generators.
17. What Does The Yield Keyword Do In Python?
The yield keyword can turn any function into a generator. It works like a standard return keyword. But it’ll
always return a generator object. Also, a method can have multiple calls to the yield keyword.
18. How To Convert A List Into Other Data Types?
Sometimes, we don’t use lists as is. Instead, we have to convert them to other types.

From the command line, type python .py or pythonx.y
.py where the x.y is the version of the Python interpreter desired.
Q8. Explain the use of try: except raise, and finally ?
Try, except and finally blocks are used in Python error handling. Code is executed in the try block until an error occurs.
One can use a generic except block, which will receive control after all errors, or one can use specific exception handling
blocks for various error types. Control is transferred to the appropriate except block. In all cases, the finally block is
executed. Raise may be used to raise your own exceptions.
Q9. Illustrate the proper use of Python error handling ?
Code Example:
1 try:
2 ….#This can be any code
3 except:
4 …# error handling code goes here
5 finally.
6 …# code that will be executed regardless of exception handling goes here.

execution. in which case the else block is not executed.
Q25. Explain the use of break and continue in Python looping ?

The break statement stops the execution of the current loop. and transfers control to the next block. The continue
statement ends the current block’s execution and jumps to the next iteration of the loop.
Q26. When would you use a continue statement in a for loop ?
When processing a particular item was complete; to move on to the next, without executing further processing in the
block. The continue statement says, “I’m done processing this item, move on to the next item.”
Q27. When would you use a break statement in a for loop ?
When the loop has served its purpose. As an example. after finding the item in a list searched for, there is no need to keep
looping. The break statement says, I’m done in this loop; move on to the next block of code.”
Q28. What is the structure of aforloop ?
for in : … The ellipsis represents a code block to be executed, once for each item in the sequence. Within the block, the
item is available as the current item from the entire list.
