1. What is slicing in Python?

 As the name suggests, ‘slicing’ is taking parts of.

 Syntax for slicing is [start : stop : step]
 start is the starting index from where to slice a list or tuple
 stop is the ending index or where to sop.
 step is the number of steps to jump.
 Default value for start is 0, stop is number of items, step is 1.
 Slicing can be done on strings, arrays, lists, and tuples.
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
print(numbers[1 : : 2]) #output : [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
2. What are modules and packages in Python?
Python packages and Python modules are two mechanisms that allow for modular
programming in Python. Modularizing has several advantages -
 Simplicity: Working on a single module helps you focus on a relatively small portion of
the problem at hand. This makes development easier and less error-prone.
 Maintainability: Modules are designed to enforce logical boundaries between different
problem domains. If they are written in a manner that reduces interdependency, it is
less likely that modifications in a module might impact other parts of the program.
 Reusability: Functions defined in a module can be easily reused by other parts of the
application.
 Scoping: Modules typically define a separate namespace, which helps avoid confusion
between identifiers from other parts of the program.
Modules, in general, are simply Python files with a .py extension and can have a set of
functions, classes, or variables defined and implemented. They can be imported and initialized
once using the import statement. If partial functionality is needed, import the requisite classes
or functions using from foo import bar.
Packages allow for hierarchial structuring of the module namespace using dot notation.
As, modules help avoid clashes between global variable names, in a similar
manner, packages help avoid clashes between module names.
Creating a package is easy since it makes use of the system's inherent file structure. So just
stuff the modules into a folder and there you have it, the folder name as the package name.
Importing a module or its contents from this package requires the package name as prefix to
the module name joined by a dot.
3. What are the common built-in data types in Python?
There are several built-in data types in Python. Although, Python doesn't require data types to
be defined explicitly during variable declarations type errors are likely to occur if the
knowledge of data types and their compatibility with each other are neglected. Python
provides type() and isinstance() functions to check the type of these variables. These data
types can be grouped into the following categories-
 None Type:
None keyword represents the null values in Python. Boolean equality operation can be
performed using these NoneType objects.

Class Name Description

NoneType Represents the NULL values in Python.

 Numeric Types:
There are three distinct numeric types - integers, floating-point numbers, and complex
numbers. Additionally, booleans are a sub-type of integers.

Class Name Description

int Stores integer literals including hex, octal and binary numbers as integers

Stores literals containing decimal values and/or exponent signs as floating-point

float
numbers

complex Stores complex numbers in the form (A + Bj) and has attributes: real and imag

bool Stores boolean value (True or False).

Note: The standard library also includes fractions to store rational numbers and decimal to
store floating-point numbers with user-defined precision.
 Sequence Types:
According to Python Docs, there are three basic Sequence Types - lists,
tuples, and range objects. Sequence types have the in and not in operators defined for
their traversing their elements. These operators share the same priority as the
comparison operations.

Class Name Description

list Mutable sequence used to store collection of items.

tuple Immutable sequence used to store collection of items.

range Represents an immutable sequence of numbers generated during execution.

str Immutable sequence of Unicode code points to store textual data.

What is Scope in Python?

Every object in Python functions within a scope. A scope is a block of code where an object in
Python remains relevant. Namespaces uniquely identify all the objects inside a program.
However, these namespaces also have a scope defined for them where you could use their
objects without any prefix. A few examples of scope created during code execution in Python
are as follows:
 A local scope refers to the local objects available in the current function.
 A global scope refers to the objects available throughout the code execution since
their inception.
 A module-level scope refers to the global objects of the current module accessible in
the program.
 An outermost scope refers to all the built-in names callable in the program. The
objects in this scope are searched last to find the name referenced.
Note: Local scope objects can be synced with global scope objects using keywords such
as global.
What is an Interpreted language?
An Interpreted language executes its statements line by line. Languages such as Python,
Javascript, R, PHP, and Ruby are prime examples of Interpreted languages. Programs written
in an interpreted language runs directly from the source code, with no intermediary
compilation step.
