I have mentioned the main questions and the ladder questions around that question under it.
First round

- Entities of an application under development is called objects.
- In Python, every entity is an object.
- Class defines objects.
- Method defines the behaviour of the class.
2. What is inheritance?
- Inheritance is the property of OOP where
- A class extends/inherits the methods and properties of another base class
- It maintains the hierarchy
- Increases reusability
3. Regex to find an IP address
4. Difference between extend and append?
5. What is Abstract class?
- Which keeps the underlying complexities of the class away from class
6. What is dictionary comprehension
- Like list comprehension for Dictionaries
7. What is a constructor?
- Which constructs something
- The
__init__in a class
8. What is a Generator?
- It generates in the runtime on every loop call
9. Difference between range and xrange?

Second round onward
Did not qualify. I was weak in the OOPs concepts.
Verdict
Rejected
Analysis
- I was not fully prepared, as it was near to my Accenture office I went.
- This was my first Python interview. I want to check how in the market Python questions are being asked.
- I got to know I have a lot to study. I was self-studying Python.
I have appeared in 20+ interviews so far. You can check out my job interview series for the rest of the interviews experiences.
