Python OOPs Interview Questions (Basic to Advanced)

Q: What is Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?

A: Object-Oriented Programming is a programming paradigm that uses 'objects' and 'classes'. Core principles:
Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism.

Q: What are the benefits of using OOP in Python?

A: Promotes code reusability, modularity, maintainability, and security.

Q: Define class and object with an example.

A: A class is a blueprint. An object is an instance of that class.

Q: What is the role of the self keyword in Python?

A: 'self' refers to the current object. It's used to access instance variables and methods.

Q: What is inheritance in Python?

A: Inheritance allows one class to acquire attributes and methods from another.

Q: What is encapsulation? How is it achieved in Python?

A: Encapsulation restricts direct access to data. Achieved using public, protected (_var), and private (__var) access.

Q: What is method overriding?

A: When a child class redefines a method from the parent class.

Q: What is polymorphism in Python?

A: It allows methods to perform differently based on the object.

Q: What is abstraction?

A: Abstraction hides complex details and shows only the essential features using abstract base classes.

Q: Difference between static, class, and instance methods?

A: Static: no self or cls. Class: uses cls. Instance: uses self.

Q: What are magic methods in Python?


Python OOPs Interview Questions (Basic to Advanced)
A: Special methods with double underscores, like __init__, __str__, used to mimic built-in behaviors.

Q: What is MRO in Python?

A: Method Resolution Order determines the order in which base classes are searched.

Q: What is composition in OOP?

A: Composition means one class contains another. Promotes modular design.

Q: What are data classes in Python?

A: Introduced in Python 3.7 to reduce boilerplate in classes that only store data.

Q: What is the difference between shallow copy and deep copy?

A: Shallow: copies only references. Deep: copies everything recursively.

Q: How is memory managed in Python OOP?

A: Through reference counting and garbage collection.

Q: Can Python support multiple constructors?

A: Not directly. Use class methods to simulate multiple constructors.
