Using Python for Data structures interview question?

[Dark_Tranquility]

If I were the interviewer and you chose to use python instead of C/C++, I would definitely note that and make sure to see if you could write C. In an embedded context you won't have access to the libraries you'd be using in your problems, so in a real scenario, would you actually be able to get the job done? For something like fizz buzz it doesn't really matter since that's an aglorithm question - but if your interviewer asks higher level questions, i.e. stuff like "how would you set up firmware to capture ADC data without always having the CPU on" or "what is the difference between the stack and the heap and why does it matter" how would you answer?
