Q1. What is the di erence between list and tuples in Python?
LIST TUPLES
Lists are mutable i.e they can be edited. Tuples are immutable (tuples are lists which can’t be edited).
Lists are slower than tuples. Tuples are faster than list.
Syntax: list_1 = [10, ‘Chelsea’, 20] Syntax: tup_1 = (10, ‘Chelsea’ , 20)
LIST vs TUPLES
Q2. What are the key features of Python?

Python is an interpreted language. That means that, unlike languages like C and its variants, Python does not need to be
compiled before it is run. Other interpreted languages include PHP and Ruby.
Python is dynamically typed, this means that you don’t need to state the types of variables when you declare them or
anything like that. You can do things like x=111 and then x="I'm a string" without error
Python is well suited to object orientated programming in that it allows the de nition of classes along with composition
and inheritance. Python does not have access speci ers (like C++’s public, private).
In Python, functions are rst-class objects. This means that they can be assigned to variables, returned from other
functions and passed into functions. Classes are also rst class objects
Writing Python code is quick but running it is often slower than compiled languages. Fortunately ， Python allows the
inclusion of C based extensions so bottlenecks can be optimized away and often are. The numpy package is a good
example of this, it’s really quite quick because a lot of the number crunching it does isn’t actually done by Python
Python nds use in many spheres – web applications, automation, scienti c modeling, big data applications and many
more. It’s also often used as “glue” code to get other languages and components to play nice.
Q3. What type of language is python? Programming or scripting?

Ans: Python is capable of scripting, but in general sense, it is considered as a general-purpose programming language. To know
more about Scripting, you can refer to the Python Scripting Tutorial.
Q4.How is Python an interpreted language?

Ans: An interpreted language is any programming language which is not in machine level code before runtime. Therefore,
Python is an interpreted language.
Q5.What is pep 8?
Ans: PEP stands for Python Enhancement Proposal. It is a set of rules that specify how to format Python code for maximum
readability.
Q6. How is memory managed in Python?

Ans:
1. Memory management in python is managed by Python private heap space. All Python objects and data structures are
located in a private heap. The programmer does not have access to this private heap. The python interpreter takes care of
this instead.
2. The allocation of heap space for Python objects is done by Python’s memory manager. The core API gives access to some
tools for the programmer to code.
3. Python also has an inbuilt garbage collector, which recycles all the unused memory and so that it can be made available to
the heap space.
Q7. What is namespace in Python?

Ans: A namespace is a naming system used to make sure that names are unique to avoid naming con icts. 
Q8. What is PYTHONPATH?
Ans: It is an environment variable which is used when a module is imported. Whenever a module is imported, PYTHONPATH is
also looked up to check for the presence of Become a Certi

modules in various directories.
 The interpreter uses it to determine
which module to load.
×
Q9. What are python modules? Name some commonly used built-in modules in Python?
Ans: Python modules are les containing Python code. This codeSign

either be functions classes or variables. A Python module is
with Google
a .py le containing executable code.
Some of the commonly used built-in modules are: Signup with Facebook
os
sys
math
random
data time
JSON
Q10.What are local variables and global variables in Python?

Global Variables:
Variables declared outside a function or in global space are called global variables. These variables can be accessed by any
function in the program.
Local Variables:
Any variable declared inside a function is known as a local variable. This variable is present in the local space and not in the
global space.
Example:
1 a=2
2 def add():
3 b=3
4 c=a+b
5 print(c)
6 add()
Output: 5
When you try to access the local variable outside the function add(), it will throw an error.
Q11. Is python case sensitive?

Ans: Yes. Python is a case sensitive language.
Q12.What is type conversion in Python?

Ans: Type conversion refers to the conversion of one data type iinto another.
int() – converts any data type into integer type
oat() – converts any data type into oat type
ord() – converts characters into integer
hex() – converts integers to hexadecimal
oct() – converts integer to octal
tuple() – This function is used to convert to a tuple.
set() – This function returns the type after converting to set.
list() – This function is used to convert any data type to a list type.
dict() – This function is used to convert a tuple of order (key,value) into a dictionary.
str() – Used to convert integer into a string.


complex(real,imag) – This functionconverts real numbers to complex(real,imag) number.
Q13. How to install Python on Windows and set path variable?

Ans: To install Python on Windows, follow the below steps:

Install python from this link: https://www.python.org/downloads/
×
After this, install it on your PC. Look for the location where PYTHON has been installed on your PC using the following
command on your command prompt: cmd python. Sign up with Google
Then go to advanced system settings and add a new variable and name it as PYTHON_NAME and paste the copied path.
Look for the path variable, select its value and select ‘edit’.
Signup with Facebook
Add a semicolon towards the end of the value if it’s not present and then type %PYTHON_HOME%
Q14. Is indentation required in python? Already have an account? Sign in.

Ans: Indentation is necessary for Python. It speci es a block of code. All code within loops, classes, functions, etc is speci ed
within an indented block. It is usually done using four space characters. If your code is not indented necessarily, it will not
execute accurately and will throw errors as well.
Q15. What is the di erence between Python Arrays and lists?

Ans: Arrays and lists, in Python, have the same way of storing data. But, arrays can hold only a single data type elements whereas
lists can hold any data type elements.
Example:
1 import array as arr

2 My_Array=arr.array('i',[1,2,3,4])
3 My_list=[1,'abc',1.20]
4 print(My_Array)
5 print(My_list)
Output:
array(‘i’, [1, 2, 3, 4]) [1, ‘abc’, 1.2]
Q16. What are functions in Python?

Ans: A function is a block of code which is executed only when it is called. To de ne a Python function, the def keyword is used.
Example:
1 def Newfunc():
2 print("Hi, Welcome to Edureka")
3 Newfunc(); #calling the function
Output: Hi, Welcome to Edureka
Q17.What is __init__?
Ans: __init__ is a method or constructor in Python. This method is automatically called to allocate memory when a new object/
instance of a class is created. All classes have the __init__ method.
Here is an example of how to use it.
1 class Employee:
2 def __init__(self, name, age,salary):
3 self.name = name
4 self.age = age
5 self.salary = 20000
6 E1 = Employee("XYZ", 23, 20000)
7 # E1 is the instance of class Employee.
8 #__init__ allocates memory for E1.
9 print(E1.name)
10 print(E1.age)
11 print(E1.salary)
Output:

Q18.What is a lambda function?

Ans: An anonymous function is known as a lambda function. This function can have any number of parameters but, can have
just one statement.
Example:
1 a = lambda x,y : x+y

2 print(a(5, 6))
Output: 11
Q19. What is self in Python?

Ans: Self is an instance or an object of a class. In Python, this is explicitly included as the rst parameter. However, this is not the
case in Java where it’s optional. It helps to di erentiate between the methods and attributes of a class with local variables.
The self variable in the init method refers to the newly created object while in other methods, it refers to the object whose
method was called.
Q20. How does break, continue and pass work?

to the next statement.
Allows skipping some part of a loop when some speci c condition is met and the
Continue
control is transferred to the beginning of the loop
Used when you need some block of code syntactically, but you want to skip its
Pass
execution. This is basically a null operation. Nothing happens when this is executed.
Q21. What does [::-1} do?

Ans: [::-1] is used to reverse the order of an array or a sequence.
For example:
1 import array as arr

2 My_Array=arr.array('i',[1,2,3,4,5])
3 My_Array[::-1]
Output: array(‘i’, [5, 4, 3, 2, 1])
[::-1] reprints a reversed copy of ordered data structures such as an array or a list. the original array or list remains unchanged.
Q22. How can you randomize the items of a list in place in Python?
Ans: Consider the example shown below:
1 from random import shuffle

2 x = ['Keep', 'The', 'Blue', 'Flag', 'Flying', 'High']
3 shuffle(x)
4 print(x)
The output of the following code is as below. 

['Flying', 'Keep', 'Blue', 'High', 'The', 'Flag']
Q23. What are python iterators?

Become

Q24. How can you generate random numbers in Python?

×
Ans: Random module is the standard module that is used to generate a random number. The method is de ned as:
Sign up with Google
1 import random
2 random.random

The statement random.random() method return the oating point number that is in the range of [0, 1). The function generates
random oat numbers. The methods that are used with the random class are the bound methods of the hidden instances. The
instances of the Random can be done to show the multi-threading programs that creates a di erent instance of individual
threads. The other random generators that are used in this are:
1. randrange(a, b): it chooses an integer and de ne the range in-between [a, b). It returns the elements by selecting it
randomly from the range that is speci ed. It doesn’t build a range object.
2. uniform(a, b): it chooses a oating point number that is de ned in the range of [a,b).Iyt returns the oating point number
3. normalvariate(mean, sdev): it is used for the normal distribution where the mu is a mean and the sdev is a sigma that is
used for standard deviation.
4. The Random class that is used and instantiated creates an independent multiple random number generators.
Q25. What is the di erence between range & xrange?

Ans: For the most part, xrange and range are the exact same in terms of functionality. They both provide a way to generate a list
of integers for you to use, however you please. The only di erence is that range returns a Python list object and x range returns
an xrange object.
This means that xrange doesn’t actually generate a static list at run-time like range does. It creates the values as you need them
with a special technique called yielding. This technique is used with a type of object known as generators. That means that if you
have a really gigantic range you’d like to generate a list for, say one billion, xrange is the function to use.
This is especially true if you have a really memory sensitive system such as a cell phone that you are working with, as range will
use as much memory as it can to create your array of integers, which can result in a Memory Error and crash your program. It’s a
memory hungry beast.
Q26. How do you write comments in python?

Ans: Comments in Python start with a # character. However, alternatively at times, commenting is done using docstrings(strings
enclosed within triple quotes).
Example:
#Comments in Python start like this

print("Comments in Python start with a #")
Output: Comments in Python start with a #
Q27. What is pickling and unpickling?

Ans: Pickle module accepts any Python object and converts it into a string representation and dumps it into a le 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.
Q28. What are the generators in python?

Ans: Functions that return an iterable set of items are called generators.
Q29. How will you capitalize the rst letter of string?

Ans: In Python, the capitalize() method capitalizes the rst letter of a string. If the string already consists of a capital letter at the
beginning, then, it returns the original string.
Q30. How will you convert a string to all lowercase?

Ans: To convert a string to lowercase, lower() function can be used.
Example:
1
2
stg='ABCD'
print(stg.lower())

Output: abcd
Q31. How to comment multiple lines in python?
Ans: Multi-line comments appear in more than one line. All the lines to be commented are to be pre xed by a #. You can also a

Q32.What are docstrings in Python? Signup with Facebook
Ans: Docstrings are not actually comments, but, they are documentation strings. These docstrings are within triple quotes.
They are not assigned to any variable and therefore, at times, serve the purpose of comments

2 Using docstring as a comment.
3 This code divides 2 numbers
4 """
5 x=8
6 y=4
7 z=x/y
8 print(z)
Output: 2.0
Q33. What is the purpose of is, not and in operators?

Ans: Operators are special functions. They take one or more values and produce a corresponding result.
is: returns true when 2 operands are true (Example: “a” is ‘a’)
not: returns the inverse of the boolean value
in: checks if some element is present in some sequence
Q34. What is the usage of help() and dir() function in Python?

Ans: Help() and dir() both functions are accessible from the Python interpreter and used for viewing a consolidated dump of
built-in functions.
1. Help() function: The help() function is used to display the documentation string and also facilitates you to see the help
related to modules, keywords, attributes, etc.
2. Dir() function: The dir() function is used to display the de ned symbols.
Q35. Whenever Python exits, why isn’t all the memory de-allocated?
Ans:
1. Whenever Python exits, especially those Python modules which are having circular references to other objects or the
objects that are referenced from the global namespaces are not always de-allocated or freed.
2. It is impossible to de-allocate those portions of memory that are reserved by the C library.
3. On exit, because of having its own e cient clean up mechanism, Python would try to de-allocate/destroy every other
object.
Q36. What is a dictionary in Python?

Ans: The built-in datatypes in Python is called dictionary. It de nes one-to-one relationship between keys and values. Dictionaries
contain pair of keys and their corresponding values. Dictionaries are indexed by keys.
Let’s take an example:
The following example contains some keys. Country, Capital & PM. Their corresponding values are India, Delhi and Modi
respectively.
1 dict={'Country':'India','Capital':'Delhi','PM':'Modi'}
1 print dict[Country]
India

1 print dict[Capital]
Delhi
1 print dict[PM]

×
Modi
Q37. How can the ternary operators be used in python? Sign up with Google
Ans: The Ternary operator is the operator that is used to show the conditional statements. This consists of the true or false
values with a statement that has to be evaluated for it. Signup with Facebook
Syntax:
The Ternary operator will be given as:
[on_true] if [expression] else [on_false]x, y = 25, 50big = x if x < y else y
Example:
The expression gets evaluated like if x<y else y, in this case if x<y is true then the value is returned as big=x and if it is incorrect
then big=y will be sent as a result.
Q38. What does this mean: *args, **kwargs? And why would we use it?
Ans: We use *args when we aren’t sure how many arguments are going to be passed to a function, or if we want to pass a stored
list or tuple of arguments to a function. **kwargs is used when we don’t know how many keyword arguments will be passed to a
function, or it can be used to pass the values of a dictionary as keyword arguments. The identi ers args and kwargs are a
convention, you could also use *bob and **billy but that would not be wise.
Q39. What does len() do?

Ans: It is used to determine the length of a string, a list, an array, etc.
Example:
1 stg='ABCD'
2 len(stg)
Q40. Explain split(), sub(), subn() methods of “re” module in Python.

Ans: To modify the strings, Python’s “re” module is providing 3 methods. They are:
split() – uses a regex pattern to “split” a given string into a list.

sub() – nds all substrings where the regex pattern matches and then replace them with a di erent string
subn() – it is similar to sub() and also returns the new string along with the no. of replacements.
Q41. What are negative indexes and why are they used?
Ans: The sequences in Python are indexed and it consists of the positive as well as negative numbers. The numbers that are
positive uses ‘0’ that is uses as rst index and ‘1’ as the second index and the process goes on like that.
The index for the negative number starts from ‘-1’ that represents the last index in the sequence and ‘-2’ as the penultimate index
and the sequence carries forward like the positive number.
The negative index is used to remove any new-line spaces from the string and allow the string to except the last character that is
given as S[:-1]. The negative index is also used to show the index to represent the string in correct order.
Q42. What are Python packages?

Ans: Python packages are namespaces containing multiple modules.
Q43.How can les be deleted in Python?

Ans: To delete a le in Python, you need to import the OS Module. After that, you need to use the os.remove() function.
Example:
1 import os
2 os.remove("xyz.txt")
Q44. What are the built-in types of python?

Q45. What advantages do NumPy arrays o er over (nested) Python Google
lists?
Ans:
1. Python’s lists are e cient general-purpose containers. They support (fairly) e cient insertion, deletion, appending, and
concatenation, and Python’s list comprehensions make them easy to construct and manipulate.
2. They have certain limitations: they don’t support “vectorized” operationsAlready have an account?
like elementwise Sign in.
addition and multiplication, and
the fact that they can contain objects of di ering types mean that Python must store type information for every element,
and must execute type dispatching code when operating on each element.
3. NumPy is not just more e cient; it is also more convenient. You get a lot of vector and matrix operations for free, which
sometimes allow one to avoid unnecessary work. And they are also e ciently implemented.
4. NumPy array is faster and You get a lot built in with NumPy, FFTs, convolutions, fast searching, basic statistics, linear
algebra, histograms, etc.
Q46. How to add values to a python array?

Ans: Elements can be added to an array using the append(), extend() and the insert (i,x) functions.
Example:
1 a=arr.array('d', [1.1 , 2.1 ,3.1] )

2 a.append(3.4)
3 print(a)
4 a.extend([4.5,6.3,6.8])
5 print(a)
6 a.insert(2,3.8)
7 print(a)
Output:
array(‘d’, [1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 3.4])
array(‘d’, [1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 3.4, 4.5, 6.3, 6.8])
array(‘d’, [1.1, 2.1, 3.8, 3.1, 3.4, 4.5, 6.3, 6.8])
Q47. How to remove values to a python array?

Ans: Array elements can be removed using pop() or remove() method. The di erence between these two functions is that the
former returns the deleted value whereas the latter does not.

Q50. How is Multithreading achieved in Python?

Ans:
1. Python has a multi-threading package but if you want to multi-thread to speed your code up, then it’s usually not a good
idea to use it.
2. Python has a construct called the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). The GIL makes sure that only one of your ‘threads’ can
execute at any one time. A thread acquires the GIL, does a little work, then passes the GIL onto the next thread.
3. This happens very quickly so to the human eye it may seem like your threads are executing in parallel, but they are really
just taking turns using the same CPU core.
4. All this GIL passing adds overhead to execution. This means that if you want to make your code run faster then using the
threading package often isn’t a good idea.
Q51. What is the process of compilation and linking in python?

Ans: The compiling and linking allows the new extensions to be compiled properly without any error and the linking can be done
only when it passes the compiled procedure. If the dynamic loading is used then it depends on the style that is being provided
with the system. The python interpreter can be used to provide the dynamic loading of the con guration setup les and will
rebuild the interpreter.
The steps that are required in this as:
1. Create a le with any name and in any language that is supported by the compiler of your system. For example le.c or
le.cpp
2. Place this le in the Modules/ directory of the distribution which is getting used.
3. Add a line in the le Setup.local that is present in the Modules/ directory.
4. Run the le using spam le.o
5. After a successful run of this rebuild the interpreter by using the make command on the top-level directory.
6. If the le is changed then run rebuildMake le by using the command as ‘make Make le’.
Q52. What are Python libraries? Name a few of them.

Python libraries are a collection of Python packages. Some of the majorly used python libraries are – Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib,
Scikit-learn and many more.
Q53. What is split used for?

The split() method is used to separate a given string in Python.
Example:
1 a="edureka python"
2 print(a.split())
Output: [‘edureka’, ‘python’]
Q54. How to import modules in python?
Modules can be imported using the import keyword. You can import modules in three ways-
Example:
1
2
3

Q57. What is monkey patching in Python?

Ans: In Python, the term monkey patch only refers to dynamic modi cations of a class or module at run-time.
Consider the below example:
1 # m.py
2 class MyClass:
3 def f(self):
4 print "f()"
We can then run the monkey-patch testing like this:
1 import m
2 def monkey_f(self):
3 print "monkey_f()"
4
5 m.MyClass.f = monkey_f
6 obj = m.MyClass()
7 obj.f()
The output will be as below:
monkey_f()
As we can see, we did make some changes in the behavior of f() in MyClass using the function we de ned, monkey_f(), outside of
the module m.
Q58. Does python support multiple inheritance?

Ans: Multiple inheritance means that a class can be derived from more than one parent classes. Python does support multiple
inheritance, unlike Java.
Q59. What is Polymorphism in Python?

Ans: Polymorphism means the ability to take multiple forms. So, for instance, if the parent class has a method named ABC then
the child class also can have a method with the same name ABC having its own parameters and variables. Python allows
polymorphism.
Q60. De ne encapsulation in Python?

Ans: Encapsulation means binding the code and the data together. A Python class in an example of encapsulation.
Q61. How do you do data abstraction in Python?

Ans: Data Abstraction is providing only the required details and hiding the implementation from the world. It can be achieved in 
Python by using interfaces and abstract classes.
Q62.Does python make use of access speci ers?

Become

Q63. How to create an empty class in Python?
Ans: An empty class is a class that does not have any code de Sign
nedupwithin its block. It can be created using the pass keyword.
with Google
However, you can create objects of this class outside the class itself. IN PYTHON THE PASS command does nothing when its
executed. it’s a null statement.
For example- Signup with Facebook

Q73. Explain what Flask is and its bene ts?
Ans: Flask is a web microframework for Python based on “Werkzeug, Jinja2Already
and good intentions” BSD license. Werkzeug and
have an account? Sign in.
Jinja2 are two of its dependencies. This means it will have little to no dependencies on external libraries. It makes the framework
light while there is a little dependency to update and fewer security bugs.
A session basically allows you to remember information from one request to another. In a ask, a session uses a signed cookie
so the user can look at the session contents and modify. The user can modify the session if only it has the secret key
Flask.secret_key.
Q74. Is Django better than Flask?

Ans: Django and Flask map the URL’s or addresses typed in the web browsers to functions in Python.
Flask is much simpler compared to Django but, Flask does not do a lot for you meaning you will need to specify the details,
whereas Django does a lot for you wherein you would not need to do much work. Django consists of prewritten code, which the
user will need to analyze whereas Flask gives the users to create their own code, therefore, making it simpler to understand the
code. Technically both are equally good and both contain their own pros and cons.
Q75. Mention the di erences between Django, Pyramid and Flask.

Ans:
Flask is a “microframework” primarily build for a small application with simpler requirements. In ask, you have to use
external libraries. Flask is ready to use.
Pyramid is built for larger applications. It provides exibility and lets the developer use the right tools for their project. The
developer can choose the database, URL structure, templating style and more. Pyramid is heavy con gurable.
Django can also be used for larger applications just like Pyramid. It includes an ORM.
Q76. Discuss Django architecture.

Ans: Django MVT Pattern:
Figure: Python Interview Questions – Django Architecture
The developer provides the Model, the view and the template then just maps it to a URL and Django does the magic to serve it to
the user.
Q77. Explain how you can set up the Database in Django.

Ans: You can use the command edit mysite/setting.py, it is a normal python module with module level representing Django
settings.
Django uses SQLite by default; it is easy for Django users as such it won’t require any other type of installation. In the case your
database choice is di erent that you have to the following keys in the DATABASE ‘default’ item to match your database
connection settings.
Engines: you can change the database by using ‘django.db.backends.sqlite3’ , ‘django.db.backeneds.mysql’,

‘django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2’, ‘django.db.backends.oracle’ and so on
Name: The name of your database. In the case if you are using SQLite as your database, in that case, database will be a le
on your computer, Name should be a full absolute path, including the le name of that le.
If you are not choosing SQLite as your database then settings like Password, Host, User, etc. must be added.

Q78. Give an example how you can write a VIEW in Django?

Ans: This is how we can use write a view in Django:
1 from django.http import HttpResponse

2 import datetime
3
4 def Current_datetime(request):
5 now = datetime.datetime.now()
6 html = "<html><body>It is now %s</body></html> % now
7 return HttpResponse(html)
Returns the current date and time, as an HTML document
Q79. Mention what the Django templates consist of.

Ans: The template is a simple text le. It can create any text-based format like XML, CSV, HTML, etc. A template contains
variables that get replaced with values when the template is evaluated and tags (% tag %) that control the logic of the template.

Q80. Explain the use of session in Django framework?

Ans: Django provides a session that lets you store and retrieve data on a per-site-visitor basis. Django abstracts the process of
sending and receiving cookies, by placing a session ID cookie on the client side, and storing all the related data on the server side.

So the data itself is not stored client side. This is nice from a security perspective.
Q81. List out the inheritance styles in Django.
Ans: In Django, there are three possible inheritance styles:
1. Abstract Base Classes: This style is used when you only want parent’s class to hold information that you don’t want to type
out for each child model.
2. Multi-table Inheritance: This style is used If you are sub-classing an existing model and need each model to have its own
database table.
3. Proxy models: You can use this model, If you only want to modify the Python level behavior of the model, without changing 
the model’s elds.

Data Analysis – Python Interview Questions

Q85. What is map function in Python?
Ans: map function executes the function given as the rst 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.
Q86. Is python numpy better than lists?

Ans: We use python numpy array instead of a list because of the below three reasons:
1. Less Memory
2. Fast
3. Convenient
For more information on these parameters, you can refer to this section – Numpy Vs List.
Q87. How to get indices of N maximum values in a NumPy array?

Ans: We can get the indices of N maximum values in a NumPy array using the below code:
1 import numpy as np
2 arr = np.array([1, 3, 2, 4, 5])

Q89. What is the di erence between NumPy and SciPy?

Ans:
1. In an ideal world, NumPy would contain nothing but the array data typeAlready
and thehave an account?
most Sign in.
basic operations: indexing, sorting,
reshaping, basic elementwise functions, et cetera.
2. All numerical code would reside in SciPy. However, one of NumPy’s important goals is compatibility, so NumPy tries to
retain all features supported by either of its predecessors.
3. Thus NumPy contains some linear algebra functions, even though these more properly belong in SciPy. In any case, SciPy
contains more fully-featured versions of the linear algebra modules, as well as many other numerical algorithms.
4. If you are doing scienti c computing with python, you should probably install both NumPy and SciPy. Most new features
belong in SciPy rather than NumPy.
Q90. How do you make 3D plots/visualizations using NumPy/SciPy?
Ans: Like 2D plotting, 3D graphics is beyond the scope of NumPy and SciPy, but just as in the 2D case, packages exist that
integrate with NumPy. Matplotlib provides basic 3D plotting in the mplot3d subpackage, whereas Mayavi provides a wide range
of high-quality 3D visualization features, utilizing the powerful VTK engine.
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)

Q91. Which of the following statements create a dictionary? (Multiple Correct Answers Possible)
a) d = {}
b) d = {“john”:40, “peter”:45}
c) d = {40:”john”, 45:”peter”}
d) d = (40:”john”, 45:”50”)
Answer: b, c & d.
Dictionaries are created by specifying keys and values.
Q92. Which one of these is oor division?

a) /
b) //
c) %
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: b) //
When both of the operands are integer then python chops out the fraction part and gives you the round o value, to get the
accurate answer use oor division. For ex, 5/2 = 2.5 but both of the operands are integer so answer of this expression in python
is 2. To get the 2.5 as the answer, use oor division using //. So, 5//2 = 2.5
Q93. What is the maximum possible length of an identi er?

a) 31 characters
b) 63 characters
c) 79 characters
d) None of the above
Answer: d) None of the above
Identi ers can be of any length.
Q94. Why are local variable names beginning with an underscore discouraged?
a) they are used to indicate a private variables of a class
b) they confuse the interpreter
c) they are used to indicate global variables
d) they slow down execution
Answer: a) they are used to indicate a private variable of a class
As Python has no concept of private variables, leading underscores are used to indicate variables that must not be accessed from
outside the class. 
Q95. Which of the following is an invalid statement?
a) abc = 1,000,000
b) a b c = 1000 2000 3000

Q41 is simply wrong, "{}" is correct literal for dict

4△ ▽ • Reply • Share ›
Pramod Raveendran > arcenstone • a year ago

option d is wrong.
Jason Tan • 7 months ago

Should be worth noting: in python 3 Q42 actually behaves opposite as mentioned. The '/' operator performs true division by default,
so 5/2 = 2.5, and 5//2 = 2. The '//' is used to truncate the decimal and round down the solution.
Russell B • a year ago

This post is a good start but needs some serious editing! To copy an array, don't use a list comprehension... Use list[:]
Also your floor operator details are incorrect.
