Python Interview Specific Coding Questions
Here’s a list of the most repeated Python coding questions that I’ve seen in interviews over the years (and some based on current trends).
👉 Save this for your Python interview preparation!
(Remember: These are Python-specific, but in interviews, many language-agnostic problems can also come.)

Basics
- Square all elements in a list using list comprehension
- Shallow copy vs Deep copy with example
- Reverse a string without slicing
- Reverse only first and last word in a string
- Remove duplicates from a list (without using set)
- Count how many times a character is repeated in a string
- Swap keys and values in a dict using dict comprehension
- Find second largest number in a list
- Frequency of elements in list/dict
- Find common elements in 2 lists (without using set)
- Two sum problem
- lambda function to iterate through a loop (to understand our logics related to lambda)

map, filter, reduce
- Add elements of 2 lists using map
- Find length of each word using map
- Check odd/even numbers using filter
- Sum/product of list using reduce
👉 Mostly asked to check if you know these built-in functions

Decorators & Generators
- Explain decorator with example
- Pass list of numbers and print squares using decorator
- Explain generator with example
- Print prime numbers from 1..N using generator
👉 Very common in Python interviews now

OOPS in Python
- Explain MRO with classes
- Explain abstraction using classes
- Implement a class as interface
Recent trends for oops and lld type
- Implement Singleton pattern
- implement factory pattern and abstract factory pattern

Pandas (basic)
- Create empty DataFrame
- Create DataFrame from dictionary
(Few More are there will share in other post)

These are most Python-specific coding questions I’ve seen repeatedly in interviews over the years in my career.
👉 Practice writing clean code
👉 Prepare beyond Python too (problem solving is mostly tested for coding rounds)
