These questions cover a wide range of topics in Python, from basic concepts to more advanced topics.

Here are brief answers and explanations to some of them:

1. **What is Python? What are the benefits of using Python?**

- Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its readability, simplicity, and
versatility. Benefits include easy syntax, a large standard library, and a supportive community.

2. **What is an Interpreted language?**

- An interpreted language is a type of programming language where most of its implementations
execute instructions directly, without the need to compile the program into machine-language instructions
beforehand.

3. **What is Indentation in Python?**

- Indentation in Python refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line. It is used to define the level
of nesting, such as in loops, functions, and conditionals.

4. **What is mutable and immutable in Python?**

- Mutable objects can be changed after creation (e.g., lists, dictionaries), while immutable objects
cannot be changed (e.g., tuples, strings).

5. **What is Scope in Python?**

- Scope refers to the region of the code where a variable is accessible. Python uses the LEGB rule to
determine the scope: Local, Enclosing, Global, and Built-in.

6. **What are lists and tuples? What is the key difference between the two?**
- Both are sequence data types in Python. The key difference is that lists are mutable, while tuples are
immutable.

7. **What are the common built-in data types in Python?**

- Common built-in data types include integers, floats, strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries, sets, and
booleans.

8. **What is ‘pass‘ in Python?**

- ‘pass‘ is a null operation; it does nothing when executed. It is used as a placeholder in code.

9. **What are modules and packages in Python?**

- A module is a single Python file that can be imported and used. A package is a collection of modules
in directories that give a structure to the module namespace.

10. **How do you assign multiple variables in one line in Python?**

- You can assign multiple variables in one line by separating the variable names with commas, for
example: ‘a, b, c = 1, 2, 3‘.

11. **What is the use of ‘self‘ in Python?**

- ‘self‘ is used in instance methods to refer to the instance calling the method. It allows access to the
attributes and methods of the class in Python.

12. **What is ‘__init__‘?**

- ‘__init__‘ is a special method in Python classes that is called when an object is created. It initializes
the object’s state.

13. **What is ‘break‘, ‘continue‘, and ‘pass‘ in Python?**

- ‘break‘ exits the nearest enclosing loop. ‘continue‘ skips the rest of the loop’s code and starts the next
iteration. ‘pass‘ is a no-operation statement.
14. **What does the following code do: ‘a = b = c = 5‘?**
- This code assigns the value ‘5‘ to variables ‘a‘, ‘b‘, and ‘c‘ simultaneously.

15. **What is docstring in Python?**

- A docstring is a string literal that appears as the first statement in a module, function, class, or method
definition, used to document the object.

16. **What is slicing in Python?**

- Slicing allows you to access a part of a sequence (like a list, tuple, or string) by specifying a range of
indices.

17. **Which symbol is used for single-line comments in Python?**

class). Example:
‘‘‘python
class Parent:
def __init__(self):
self.value = "Parent"
def show(self):
print(self.value)

class Child(Parent):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.value = "Child"

c = Child()
c.show() # Output: Child
‘‘‘

40. **How do you access parent members in the child class?**

 - Parent members can be accessed using the ‘super()‘ function or by referring to the parent class name
directly.

41. **What is the result of ‘5 % 2‘?**
