Q

State the differences between a compiled language and an interpreted language.

A

Compiled language:

After compilation, the program can be freely distributed without the need of the interpreter. You must have a compiler for each type of system. Faster execution. Examples: C, C++, Go.

Interpreted language:

The translation is done each time the program runs. The interpreter must be installed in all the computers to make the code run. Slower execution. Examples: PHP, Ruby, Python, Java.

Q

List two ways in which you can slice a sequence in Python:

A
  1. Slice function: (,)
    • Returns a slice object similar to a range function.
    • You must specify the start, end and step.
      • lista = [i for i in range(10)]
      • x = slice(start=None, end, step=None)
      • sliced = lista[x]
  2. Bracket slicing - Index Operator: (:)
    • lista = [i for i in range(10)]
    • x = lista [start : end : step]

Q

What are the basic principles of a REST API?

A

REpresentational State Transfer.

It has 6 constraints (LUCCCS):

  1. Layered:
    • Intermediate dedicated servers(security, load balancing), client does not know to which server it’s communicating.
  2. Uniform Interface:
    1. Resource Based:
      • Server sends a representation of resources. Uniquely identified resource.
    2. Self-descriptive Messages:
      • Each message contains everything needed.
    3. Hypermedia (HATEOAS):
      • Body, request - response headers, URIS.
  3. Cacheable:
    • The client caches info to decrease client-server interactions. Improves client performance.
  4. Client server architecture:
    • Server: data storage. Client: UI. HTTP requests, client portability, client-server independence.
  5. Code on demand (optional)
    • Server returns code to the client (Javascript, Java applets).
  6. Statelessness:
    • Each client request should have the creds, so no session keeps open by the server.

Q

What types of OAuth grants exist?

A
  1. Resource owner password credentials:
    • Resource owner supplies creds.
    • Unsafe.
  2. Client credentials:
    • Resources are owned by the client itself.
  3. Authorization code:
    • Most commonly used.
    • Auth server issues an auth code, then access token - refresh token.
    • Resource owner credentials, never shared.
  4. Implicit:
    • No Oauth code is issued, only access tokens.

Q

How do you use map()?

A
  • Transform a set of items without the need for iteration in one single expression:

  • Callable (function):
    • Class constructors: Class()
    • User defined function.
    • Built-in function.
    • lambda functions.
  • Example:
    • mapa = map(lambda x,y: x-y, [5,5,5],[1,3,5])
    • >> 4 2 0

  3. raise StopIteration:
    • When should the iterations stop?
    • Must be raised by \_\_next\_\_ method.
42
Q

    • number
    • order
    • DynamicPo
  4. Inheritance:
    • whatever
    • whatever
43
Q

44
Q

What do you use the filter() function for?

A
  • fil = filter(function, iterable)
  • Returns a that can be converted to a list.
  • The filter object contains the items of the function returns True.
45
Q

How do you define a custom Exception?

A

Define custom Exceptions:

class CustomException(Exception):

def \_\_init\_\_ (self, msg):

super().\_\_init\_\_(msg)

Raise custom Exceptions:

def checkforexceptions(whatever):

if condition:

raise Exception

46
Q

How do you call a custom exception?

A

Raise custom Exceptions:

def checkforexceptions(whatever):

if condition:

raise Exception

47
Q

What would you use for-else or while-else loops for?

48
Q

Can you pass arguments to an Exception?

49
Q

Classify the Exceptions:

A

Base Exception (not meant to be directly inherited by user-defined classes)

⇒ Exception (built-in, non-system-exiting exceptions)

⇒ ArithmethicError

ZeroDivisionError, FloatingPointError

⇒ AssertionError

⇒ StopIteration

⇒ ValueError

Right type but an inappropriate value.

⇒ TypeError

Operation or function is applied to an object of inappropriate type.

Raised by user code to indicate that an attempted operation on an object is not supported.

⇒ LookupError

⇒ IndexError

Sequence subscript is out of range.

⇒ KeyError

Dictionary key is not found.

⇒ OSError

⇒ FileExistsError

errno EEXIST

⇒FileNotFoundError

errno ENOENT

⇒ KeyboardInterrupt

⇒ SystemExit

50
Q

What is a shell?

A
  • Computer program which exposes an operating system’s services to a human user or other program.
  • For example:
    • Windows Shell (Windows’ GUI).
    • CLI shells (Command Line Interface): Bash (Unix) or CMD prompt in Windows.
51
Q

What is bash?

A
  • Unix CLI shell.
  • Default login shell for most Linux distributions since 1989.
  • Replaced Bourne Shell (Bourne Again sh - bash (sh: name of the language)
52
Q

What is syntactic sugar?

A

It makes the language “sweeter” for human use: things can be expressed more clearly, more concisely, or in an alternative style that some may prefer.

53
Q

What are some useful examples of syntactic sugar?

A 
`x = something if condition else otherthing`
# python ternary

`a += 1`
# equivalent to a = a + 1

`1 < x < 10`
# equivalent to 1 \< x and x \< 10

`[x for x in range(10)]`
# List comprehension
54
Q

What is an OrderedDict, and what is the difference with a regular Dictionary?

A
  • Create:
    • from collections import OrderedDict
    • dic = OrderedDict()
  • Methods:
    • dic.popitem()
    • dic.move_to_end(key)
  • Equality:
    • Checks for keys and values but also order of insertion.
  • New operators for dictionaries in Python 3.9:
    • | merge
    • |= update
55
Q

What are the uses of the yield statement?

A
  • When resumed, the function remember where it was before the last yield run.
  • Similar to return:
    • Return sends a specified value back to its caller whereas yield can produce a sequence of values.
  • yield expression is used when defining a generator function and thus can only be used inside def.
  • yield expressions are allowed anywhere in a try construct.
56
Q

What is a bytearray? What do you use them for?

A
  • Always created by calling the constructor:
    • bytearray(), bytearray(10), bytearray(range(20)), bytearray(b'Hi!').
  • Basic building block of a binary file: pictures, music, video, etc.
  • Methods:
    • bytes.decode(encoding="utf-8", errors="str")
    • # Regular sequence methods:
      • bytearray.count(sub[, start[, end]])
      • bytes.replace(old, new[, count])
      • bytes.find(sub[, start[, end]])
      • bytes.index(sub[, start[, end]])
      • bytes.lstrip([chars])
      • bytes.rsplit(sep=None, maxsplit=-1)
      • bytes.isalpha()
57
Q

What are the different file open modes?

A
  • with open("file.ext", "xt"/"rt") as file:
  • XARW:
    • “x”: create
    • “a”: append
    • “r”: read
    • “w”: write
  • “t”: Text Mode
  • “b”: Binary Mode
  • ”+”: Open to update
58
Q

What are the most common HTTP response status codes​?

A
  1. Informational responses (100–199)
  2. Successful responses (200–299)
    • 200 OK:
      • GET: The resource has been fetched and is transmitted in the message body.
      • HEAD: The entity headers are in the message body.
      • PUT or POST: The resource describing the result of the action is transmitted in the message body.
      • TRACE: The message body contains the request message as received by the server.
    • 201 Created: Resource created.
  3. Redirects (300–399)
  4. Client errors (400–499):
    • 400 Bad Request: client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, deceptive request routing).
    • 401 Unauthorized: request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the target resource.
    • 403 Forbidden: server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
    • 404 Not Found: server can’t find the requested resource. Links that lead to a 404 page are often called broken or dead links.
  5. Server errors (500–599)
    • 500 Internal Server Error: Server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request. Generic “catch-all” response. Usually, this indicates the server cannot find a better 5xx error code to response.
    • 503 Service Unavailable: Server is not ready to handle the request. Common causes are a server that is down for maintenance or that is overloaded.

Q

What are the different characteristics of the 3 programming paradigms?

A
  • Procedural programming, structured programming –
    • Specifies the steps a program must take to reach a desired state.
    • Use of global variables.
  • Functional programming –
    • Treat programs as evaluating mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data.
    • Functions pass values, less global variables.
  • Object-oriented programming (OOP) –
    • Organizes programs as objects: instances, data structures consisting of datafields and methods together with their interactions.
63
Q

What are dunder methods?

A
  • Special, predefined methods. (double underscore: __init__ or __str__).
  • There are hundreds of Special methods available to implement in Python.
  • The special methods provide a common API that allows developers to create interactive classes.
  • Create classes with native data structures behavior.
  1. Object Initialization:
    • \_\_init\_\_
  2. Object Representation:
    • \_\_repr\_\_: The “official” string representation of an object. This is how you would make an object of the class. The goal of __repr__ is to be unambiguous.
    • \_\_str\_\_: The “informal” or nicely printable string representation of an object. This is for the enduser.
  3. Iteration:
    • Sequences:
      • \_\_len\_\_: >>> len(obj)
      • \_\_getitem\_\_: >>> obj[1]
    • \_\_reversed\_\_: reversed(obj)
  4. Arithmetic Operators:
    • \_\_add\_\_: >>> 1 + 2, (also: -, *, /, //)
  5. Callable:
    • \_\_call\_\_: >>> obj()
  6. Delete:
    • \_\_del\_\_: >>> del(obj)
64
Q

Useful list methods?

A
  • Sequences: support the \_\_len\_\_ and \_\_getitem\_\_ methods. Lists, tuples, ranges, strings, bytes.
    • Common Sequence methods (lists, tuples, ranges, strings, bytes- b’‘-ASCII):
      • in, +, *, s[i], len(), index(), count(), min(), max(), sort()
    • Mutable Sequence methods (lists, bytearray):
      • Direct assignation: s[i] = x
      • del(), clear(), copy()
      • append(), insert(i, x), pop([i]), remove(), reverse()
  • ​​List supports both sets of instructions.
