TCS Ninja Interview Preparation: Python and C Technical Questions

1. Python Questions

Basic Python Concepts:

1. What are Python's key features?

- High-level, interpreted, dynamically typed, and object-oriented.

- Extensive libraries (NumPy, Pandas, etc.).

- Supports multiple programming paradigms (procedural, functional, OOP).

2. What are Python's data types?

- Basic: int, float, complex, str, bool

- Collections: list, tuple, set, dict

3. How is memory managed in Python?

- Python uses automatic garbage collection via reference counting and cyclic garbage collection.

Python Coding:

4. Write a Python program to check if a number is prime.

```python

def is_prime(n):

if n <= 1:

return False
for i in range(2, int(n**0.5) + 1):

if n % i == 0:

return False

return True

num = 29

print(f"{num} is prime: {is_prime(num)}")

```

5. How do you reverse a list in Python?

```python

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

reversed_list = my_list[::-1]

print(reversed_list) # Output: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

```

6. What is the difference between a shallow copy and a deep copy?

- Shallow Copy: Copies the object but references nested objects.

```python

import copy

list1 = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]

shallow_copy = copy.copy(list1)

shallow_copy[0][0] = 99

print(list1) # [[99, 2], [3, 4]]

```

- Deep Copy: Copies the object and all nested objects.

```python
deep_copy = copy.deepcopy(list1)

deep_copy[0][0] = 42

print(list1) # [[99, 2], [3, 4]]

```

2. C Questions

C Basics:

1. What are the key features of C?

- Low-level memory access (pointers).

- Simple and efficient.

- Procedural programming paradigm.

2. What are the differences between malloc() and calloc()?

- malloc(size): Allocates a block of memory, uninitialized.

- calloc(n, size): Allocates memory for n elements, initializes to zero.

3. What is a pointer in C?

- A pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of another variable.

```c

int a = 10;

int *ptr = &a;

printf("Value of a: %d", *ptr); // Outputs 10

```
C Coding:

4. Write a program to reverse a string in C.

```c

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

void reverseString(char str[]) {

int n = strlen(str);

for (int i = 0; i < n / 2; i++) {

char temp = str[i];

str[i] = str[n - i - 1];

str[n - i - 1] = temp;

int main() {

char str[] = "Hello";

reverseString(str);

printf("Reversed: %s", str);

return 0;

```

5. Write a program to find the factorial of a number using recursion.

```c
#include <stdio.h>

int factorial(int n) {

if (n <= 1) return 1;

return n * factorial(n - 1);

int main() {

int num = 5;

printf("Factorial of %d: %d", num, factorial(num));

return 0;

```
