Coding interview questions are related to array, linked list, string, binary tree, and questions from algorithms. Here are 20 most commonly asked interview questions. You can easily find answers to these questions on Google to prepare yourself for the interview.

  1. How is a bubble sort algorithm implemented?
  2. How to print the first non-repeated character from a string?

Comments And Receiving Input in Python - tips4cse

Comments And Receiving Input in Python :  Comments : We use comments to add notes to our code. Good comments explain the hows and whys, not what the code does. That should be reflected in the code itself. Use comments to add reminders to yourself or other developers, or also explain your assumptions and the reasons you’ve written code in a certain way. # This is a comment and it won’t get executed. # Our comments can be multiple lines. Taking User Input: Receiving Input : We can receive input from the user by calling the input() function. birth_year = int ( input ( ‘Birth year: ‘ )) The input() function always returns data as a string. So, we’re converting the result into an integer by calling the built-in int() function.

Python 3 Installation on Windows

  Step 1: Select Version of Python to Install The installation procedure involves downloading the official Python .exe installer and running it on your system. The version you need depends on what you want to do in Python. For example, if you are working on a project coded in Python version 2.6, you probably need that version. If you are starting a project from scratch, you have the freedom to choose. If you are learning to code in Python, we recommend you  download both the latest version of Python 2 and 3 . Working with Python 2 enables you to work on older projects or test new projects for backward compatibility. Step 2: Download Python Executable Installer Open your web browser and navigate to the  Downloads for Windows section  of the  official Python website . Search for your desired version of Python.
