Question 20 (Beginner):
What is the output of this Python code?

x = [1, 2, 3]
y = x
y.append(4)
print(x)

A) [1, 2, 3]
B) [1, 2, 3, 4]
C) [4, 3, 2, 1]
D) Raises an error

#Python #Lists #Variables #Beginner

✅ By: https://t.iss.one/DataScienceQ

✅ **Correct answer: B) `[1, 2, 3, 4]`**

*Explanation:
- `y = x` creates a reference to the same list object
- Modifying `y` affects `x` because they point to the same memory location
- To create an independent copy, use y = x.copy() or y = list(x)*

Question 21 (Beginner):
What is the correct way to check the Python version installed on your system using the command line?

A) python --version
B) python -v

Question 22 (Interview-Level):
Explain the difference between deepcopy and regular assignment (=) in Python with a practical example. Then modify the example to show how deepcopy solves the problem.

import copy

# Original Problem
original = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
shallow_copy = original.copy()
shallow_copy[0][0] = 99
print(original)  # What happens here?

# Solution with deepcopy
deep_copied = copy.deepcopy(original)
deep_copied[1][0] = 77
print(original)  # What happens now?

Options:
A) Both modify the original list
B) copy() creates fully independent copies
C) Shallow copy affects nested objects, deepcopy doesn't
D) deepcopy is slower but creates true copies

Question 23 (Advanced):
How does Python's "Name Mangling" (double underscore prefix) work in class attribute names, and what's its practical purpose?

class Test:
    def __init__(self):
        self.public = 10
        self._protected = 20
        self.__private = 30  # Name mangling

obj = Test()
print(dir(obj))  # What happens to __private?

Options:
A) Completely hides the attribute
B) Renames it to _Test__private
C) Makes it immutable
D) Converts it to a method

Question 24 (Advanced - NSFW Detection):
When implementing NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content detection in Python, which of these approaches provides the best balance between accuracy and performance?

A) Rule-based keyword filtering
B) CNN-based image classification (e.g., MobileNetV2)
C) Transformer-based multimodal analysis (e.g., CLIP)
D) Metadata analysis (EXIF data, file properties)

#Python #NSFW #ComputerVision #DeepLearning

✅ By: https://t.iss.one/DataScienceQ

✅ Correct answer: A) `python --version`

*Additional Info:*
- On some systems, you might need to use python3 --version
- To see more details, you can use python -VV (capital V twice)
- This works on Windows, macOS, and Linux

$ python --version
Python 3.9.7  # Example output

*Note: The other options will either show an error or unexpected output*

✅ Correct answer: C) Shallow copy affects nested objects, deepcopy doesn't

*Expected Output:*

[[99, 2], [3, 4]]  # Shallow copy modified nested list in original
[[99, 2], [3, 4]]  # Original remains unchanged after deepcopy modification

*Key Points for Interview Discussion:*
1. Shallow copy (copy()) only copies references to nested objects
2. deepcopy recursively copies all nested objects
3. Critical when working with:
- Nested lists/dictionaries
- Custom objects with mutable attributes
4. Trade-off: deepcopy has higher memory/time overhead

✅ Correct answer: B) Renames it to `_Test__private`

*Key Insights:*
1. Syntax: __name becomes _ClassName__name
2. Purpose: Prevents accidental override in inheritance
3. NOT true privacy: Can still be accessed via mangled name
4. Common Use: Framework development to avoid naming collisions

*Example Output:*

['_Test__private', '_protected', 'public', ...]  # Notice the mangled name

*Interview Tip:*
- Contrast with single underscore _var (convention only)
- Explain why this isn't used for real security/encryption

✅ Correct answer: B) CNN-based image classification (e.g., MobileNetV2)

# Sample implementation using TensorFlow/Keras
from tensorflow.keras.applications import MobileNetV2
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing import image
from tensorflow.keras.applications.mobilenet_v2 import preprocess_input
import numpy as np

# Load pre-trained NSFW detection model (conceptual example)
model = MobileNetV2(weights='imagenet')  # In practice, use NSFW-specific weights

def is_nsfw(img_path):
    img = image.load_img(img_path, target_size=(224, 224))
    x = image.img_to_array(img)
    x = preprocess_input(x)
    preds = model.predict(np.expand_dims(x, axis=0))
    return preds[0][0] > 0.5  # Threshold for NSFW class

### Key Considerations:
1. CNNs (B) offer best speed/accuracy tradeoff (5-50ms inference)
2. Transformers (C) are more accurate but slower (300ms+)
3. Rule-based (A) fails for visual content
4. Metadata (D) can be easily spoofed

### Production Tips:
- Use quantization for mobile deployment
- Combine with hash-based filtering for known content
- Consider ethical implications of false positives/negatives

Question 25 (Advanced - CNN Implementation in Keras):

A) Reduces spatial dimensions to 1x1 while preserving channel depth
B) Increases receptive field for better feature extraction
C) Performs pixel-wise normalization
D) Adds non-linearity before dense layers
