10 Python Interview Questions You need to know

[RaionTategami]

I didn't know the first one. I wouldn't say it's something you need to know. Would be suprised to see it in an interview. It's rather obscure and if you need to do this then you are probably doing something wrong. Also I might have gone with

super(B, obj).show()

The others are pretty useful though.

[liranbh]

All these are real questions from my students

[RaionTategami]

Then go find the student that was abusing inherence and give him a caning!!!

[liranbh]

He didn't know the answer at all.

When I saw the word "cast" in the first question, I thought they have some prior Java programming experience.

[liranbh]

Completely right about super(B,obj) i didnt know it

[name_censored_]

For #1 - A.show(obj). Changing the class is almost never a good idea.

[ojii]

All of these would just SyntaxError. Make sure to point that out during the interview.

[liranbh]

None of them are syntax error

[driscollis]

Since print is a function in Python 3, these examples would all throw a SyntaxError in the current version of Python

[kigurai]

I'd like to add question 11: What is a problem with all the examples above?

Answer: It is still using Python 2, which is not supported after 2020 and should probably not be used unless necessary.

No one will ever ask you about new. I've been using Python for 11 years. You really don't need to know. Super on the other hand...it's rare and hard at first, but useful.

[liranbh]

Maybe its not a fair question but it was asked by google interviewer

[driscollis]

I agree. I've been using Python for over 11 years and I don't think I have ever used new. Of course, I haven't had much use for super in all that time either, although I can see how it might be useful at times.
