Interview Questions and Answers:

Q1. Calculate and provide the results for the following mathematical expressions

a) 7/5
b) 7//5
c) 7%5

Q2. Given the following input:

List 1 = [10, 20, 30, 40]
List 2 = [100, 200, 300, 400]                

Please write code to generate the following output:

10 100
20 200
30 300
40 400

List1 = [10, 20, 30, 40]
List2 = [100, 200, 300, 400]

for item1, item2 in zip(List1, List2):
    print(item1, item2)

# Without zip
List1 = [10, 20]
List2 = [100, 200]

for i in range(len(List1)):
    item1 = List1[i]
    item2 = List2[i]
    print(item1, item2)

Q3. Please review the following code and let me know if you identify any issues. If discrepancies exist, provide a solution for resolving them
Code:

List1 = [10, 20, 30]
List2 = [100, 200, 300, 400]

Desired Output:

10 100
20 200
30 300

min_length = min(len(List1), len(List2))

for i in range(min_length)
    item1 = List1[i]
    item2 = List2[i]
    print(item1, item2)

Q4.Can you write the above code(Q3 Solution) in fewer lines?

List1 = [10, 20, 30]
List2 = [100, 200, 300, 400]

min_length = min(len(List1), len(List2))

for i in range(min_length):
    print(List1[i], List2[i])

Q5. Create function amount of time takes the above code(Q4 Solution) to run.

import time

def measure_execution_time():
    start_time = time.time()  # Record the start time

    List1 = [10, 20, 30]
    List2 = [100, 200, 300, 400]

    min_length = min(len(List1), len(List2))

    for i in range(min_length):
        print(List1[i], List2[i])

    end_time = time.time()  # Record the end time
    execution_time = end_time - start_time  # Calculate the execution time
    return execution_time

# Call the function to measure execution time
time_taken = measure_execution_time()
print(f"Execution time: {time_taken:.6f} seconds")
