Can you explain the difference between list and tuple in Python?
Candidate's Answer:Yes definitely the major difference between list and double and is the list is the mutable data type Where as tuple is a immutable data type mutable, mutable means if we wanted to make change is any in the data, in list we can change the data where is in the tuple we cannot change the data
Evaluation:Your answer is correct in stating that the major difference between a list and a tuple in Python is that a list is mutable while a tuple is immutable.
A list in Python is a collection of items that can be modified after it is created. This means that you can add, remove, or change items in a list. Lists are defined with square brackets, like [1, 2, 3].
On the other hand, a tuple is a collection of items that cannot be modified after it is created. Once a tuple is created, its contents cannot be changed, added to, or removed. Tuples are defined with parentheses, like (1, 2, 3).
To improve your answer, you could also mention that lists are typically used for collections of items that may need to be modified, while tuples are used for collections of items that should not be changed. Additionally, you could provide an example of when it would be more appropriate to use a list versus a tuple.
Overall, your answer is correct and provides a basic understanding of the difference between lists and tuples in Python. I would rate your answer as 4/5.

Topic(s): Python
How would you handle errors and exceptions in Python?
Candidate's Answer:I am sorry I don't have any in idea about it but in general exceptional handling we can use to handle the errors and exceptions
Evaluation:It is good that you admitted you are not familiar with error and exception handling in Python, as honesty is always appreciated during an interview. However, it would have been better if you had elaborated a bit on what you do know about error handling in programming in general, such as mentioning the use of try-except blocks to catch and handle exceptions.
To improve your answer, you could mention specific techniques or keywords used in Python for handling errors, such as try-except blocks, try-finally blocks, raising exceptions, using the 'finally' block, etc. You could also talk about the importance of error handling in ensuring the robustness and reliability of your code.
Overall, your answer shows honesty but lacks depth and specific knowledge about error handling in Python. I would rate it 1.5/5.
