Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -120126)

 

 Step 1: Create the tuple

t = (1, 2, 3)

tuple is immutable → its values cannot be changed.

---

🔹 Step 2: Loop through the tuple

for i in t:

Each element of t is assigned one by one to the variable i:

Loop iteration	i value
1st	1
2nd	2
3rd	3

---

🔹 Step 3: Modify i

i = i * 2

This only changes the local variable i, not the tuple.

So:

• When i = 1 → i becomes 2

• When i = 2 → i becomes 4

• When i = 3 → i becomes 6

But t never changes because:

• You are not assigning back to t

• And tuples cannot be modified in place

---

🔹 Step 4: Print the tuple

print(t)

Since t was never changed, output is:

(1, 2, 3)

---

✅ Final Answer

Output:

(1, 2, 3)

---

Key Concept

Point	Explanation
Tuples are immutable	Their values cannot be changed
i is just a copy	Changing i does not affect t
No assignment to t	So t stays the same

---

🔹 If you actually want to double the values:

t = tuple(i * 2 for i in t)
print(t)

Output:

(2, 4, 6)

Python Coding challenge - Day 962| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Base Class Definition

class Base:

Defines a class named Base.

2. Defining __init_subclass__

    def __init_subclass__(cls):

__init_subclass__ is a special class method.

It is automatically called whenever a subclass of Base is created.

cls refers to the newly created subclass (not the base class).

3. Setting a Class Attribute

        cls.tag = cls.__name__.lower()

Sets a class attribute tag on the subclass.

cls.__name__ → name of the subclass as a string.

.lower() → converts it to lowercase.

So when subclasses are created:

class A(Base) → cls.__name__ is "A" → cls.tag = "a"

class B(Base) → cls.__name__ is "B" → cls.tag = "b"

4. Creating Subclass A

class A(Base): pass

Creates subclass A of Base.

Automatically triggers Base.__init_subclass__(A).

Sets A.tag = "a".

5. Creating Subclass B

class B(Base): pass

Creates subclass B of Base.

Automatically triggers Base.__init_subclass__(B).

Sets B.tag = "b".

6. Printing the Tags

print(A.tag, B.tag)

Prints the class attributes assigned during subclass creation.

7. Final Output

a b

Python Coding challenge - Day 961| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Class Definition

class A:

This defines a new class named A.

2. Overriding __setattr__ Method

    def __setattr__(self, k, v):

__setattr__ is a special method in Python.

It is automatically called whenever an attribute is assigned to an object.

Parameters:

self → the object itself

k → name of the attribute being assigned

v → value being assigned

3. Custom Attribute Assignment

        super().__setattr__(k, v * 2)

Calls the parent class (object) __setattr__ method.

Instead of storing v, it stores v * 2.

This means every value assigned to an attribute will be doubled before storage.

4. Creating an Object

a = A()

Creates an instance a of class A.

5. Assigning an Attribute

a.x = 3

Triggers A.__setattr__(a, 'x', 3)

Inside __setattr__, value becomes 3 * 2 = 6

So internally:

a.x = 6

6. Printing the Attribute

print(a.x)

Prints the stored value of x, which is 6.

7. Final Output

6

Python Coding challenge - Day 960| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Defining Class A

class A:

    def f(self): return "A"

A class A is defined.

It has a method f() that returns "A".

2. Defining Class B

class B:

    def f(self): return "B"

A class B is defined.

It also has a method f() but returns "B".

3. Defining Class C Inheriting from A

class C(A): pass

C initially inherits from A.

So normally:

C().f() → "A"

4. Changing the Base Class at Runtime

C.__bases__ = (B,)

This dynamically changes the inheritance of class C.

Now C no longer inherits from A, but from B.

So the new hierarchy is:

C → B → object

5. Calling f() on a C Object

print(C().f())

Step-by-step:

C() creates an instance of C.

f() is searched:

Not found in C

Found in B (new base class)

B.f() is called → returns "B".

6. Final Output

B

Final Answer

✔ Output:

B

Python Coding challenge - Day 959| What is the output of the following Python Code?

Code Explanation:

1. Creating a Registry List

registry = []

An empty list named registry is created.

It will store the names of all subclasses of Plugin.

2. Defining the Base Class

class Plugin:

A base class named Plugin is defined.

It will automatically track all its subclasses.

3. Overriding __init_subclass__

    def __init_subclass__(cls):

        registry.append(cls.__name__)

__init_subclass__ is a special hook called every time a subclass is created.

cls refers to the newly created subclass.

The subclass name is appended to the registry list.

4. Creating Subclass A

class A(Plugin): pass

A is created as a subclass of Plugin.

This triggers:

Plugin.__init_subclass__(A)

"A" is appended to registry.

5. Creating Subclass B

class B(Plugin): pass

B is created as a subclass of Plugin.

This triggers:

Plugin.__init_subclass__(B)

"B" is appended to registry.

6. Printing the Registry

print(registry)

Prints the contents of registry.

7. Final Output

['A', 'B']

Final Answer

✔ Output:

['A', 'B']

Day 26: Using time.sleep() in Async Code

 

🐍 Python Mistakes Everyone Makes ❌

Day 26: Using time.sleep() in Async Code

Async code is powerful—but one small mistake can completely block it.

---

❌ The Mistake

import time

async def task():
    print("Start")
    time.sleep(2) 
    print("End")

Looks harmless, right?
But this breaks async behavior.

---

🤔 Why This Is a Problem

• time.sleep() blocks the entire event loop

• No other async tasks can run during the sleep

• Your “async” code becomes sync and slow

In async code, blocking = 🚫 performance.

---

✅ The Correct Way

Use asyncio.sleep() instead:

import asyncio

async def task():
    print("Start")
    await asyncio.sleep(2) 
    print("End")

This pauses without blocking, allowing other tasks to run.

---

❌ Why the Mistake Is Dangerous

• Freezes concurrent tasks

• Ruins scalability

• Causes confusing performance issues

• Defeats the purpose of async programming

---

🧠 Simple Rule to Remember

✔ Never use time.sleep() in async code
✔ Always use await asyncio.sleep()
✔ Blocking calls don’t belong in async functions

🐍 Async rule: If it blocks, it doesn’t belong in async def.

Day 25: Wrong Use of or in Conditions

 

Day 25: Wrong Use of or in Conditions

This is a classic Python gotcha that trips up beginners and even experienced developers.

---

❌ The Mistake

x = 3

if x == 1 or 2: 
    print("x is 1 or 2")

You might expect this to run only when x is 1 or 2…
But it always runs, no matter what x is.

---

🤔 Why This Happens

Python reads the condition like this:

if (x == 1) or (2):

• x == 1 → True or False

• 2 → always True (non-zero values are truthy)

So the whole condition is always True.

---

✅ The Correct Way

Option 1: Compare explicitly

if x == 1 or x == 2:
  print("x is 1 or 2")

Option 2 (Recommended): Use in

if x in (1, 2): 
    print("x is 1 or 2")

Cleaner, safer, and more Pythonic ✅

---

❌ Why the Mistake Is Dangerous

• Conditions behave incorrectly

• Bugs are hard to notice

• Logic silently fails

• Leads to unexpected program flow

---

🧠 Simple Rule to Remember

✔ or does not repeat comparisons
✔ Use in for multiple equality checks
✔ If it reads like English, it’s probably wrong 😄

# Think like Python, not English
if x in (1, 2): 
   ...

🐍 Pro tip: When checking multiple values, in is almost always the best choice.

Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -110126)

+

 

Explanation:

Initialization

s = 0

Creates a variable s and initializes it with 0.

This variable will store the running sum.

Loop Start

for i in range(1, 6):

Loop runs with values of i from 1 to 5.

So the loop will run for:

i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Condition to Skip i = 3

if i == 3:

Checks if the current value of i is 3.

continue

If i is 3, the loop skips the remaining code and moves to the next iteration.

So when i = 3, no addition and no print happen.

Add i to s

s += i

Adds current i value to s.

Condition to Skip if Sum Exceeds 6

if s > 6:

Checks if the current sum s is greater than 6.

continue

If s > 6, printing is skipped.

Printing the Sum

print(s)

Prints the value of s only if it passed both conditions.

Iteration-Wise Execution

Iteration i i == 3? s after add s > 6? Printed

1 1 No 1 No 1

2 2 No 3 No 3

3 3 Yes → skipped — — —

4 4 No 7 Yes → skipped —

5 5 No 12 Yes → skipped —

Python Coding challenge - Day 958| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Defining a Custom Metaclass

class Meta(type):

Meta is a metaclass because it inherits from type.

A metaclass controls how classes create their instances.

2. Overriding the Metaclass __call__ Method

    def __call__(cls, *a, **k):

        obj = super().__call__(*a, **k)

        obj.ready = True

        return obj

__call__ is invoked when a class is called to create an instance (Task()).

Steps:

Calls super().__call__() → creates the object normally.

Adds a new attribute ready = True to the object.

Returns the modified object.

So every object created using this metaclass automatically has ready = True.

3. Defining a Class Using the Metaclass

class Task(metaclass=Meta):

    pass

Task is created using Meta as its metaclass.

Task() will invoke Meta.__call__.

 4. Creating an Instance

t = Task()

This triggers:

Meta.__call__(Task)

Inside __call__:

A new Task object is created.

t.ready = True is added.

5. Checking the Attribute

print(hasattr(t, "ready"))

Checks if attribute "ready" exists on t.

Since Meta.__call__ added it, result is True.

6. Final Output

True

Final Answer

✔ Output:

True

Python Coding challenge - Day 957| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Defining the Class

class Safe:

A class named Safe is defined.

2. Overriding __getattribute__

    def __getattribute__(self, name):

        if name == "open":

            return super().__getattribute__(name)

        return "blocked"

__getattribute__ is called for every attribute access on an instance.

It receives:

self → the instance

name → the name of the attribute being accessed

Logic:

If the attribute name is "open", delegate to Python’s normal lookup using super().__getattribute__.

For any other attribute, return the string "blocked" instead of the real value.

So:

s.open → real method

s.x, s.anything_else → "blocked"

3. Defining the open Method

    def open(self):

        return "ok"

A normal instance method that returns "ok".

4. Creating an Object

s = Safe()

Creates an instance of Safe.

5. Accessing Attributes

print(s.open(), s.x)

Let’s evaluate each part:

▶ s.open()

s.open triggers __getattribute__(s, "open").

Since name == "open", it calls super().__getattribute__("open").

That returns the actual method open.

() calls it → returns "ok".

▶ s.x

s.x triggers __getattribute__(s, "x").

"x" ≠ "open", so it returns "blocked".

No error is raised.

6. Final Output

ok blocked

Final Answer

✔ Output:

ok blocked

Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID -100126)

 

Explanation:

1. Function Definition

def make_filter(limit, seen=[]):

What happens:

Defines a function make_filter.

Takes:

limit → a threshold value.

seen → a mutable default list shared across calls.

Important: seen is created once when the function is defined, not each time it is called.

2. Returning a Lambda Function

return lambda x: x > limit and not seen.append(x)

This returns a function that:

Checks if x > limit

Appends x to seen

Uses not to invert the return value of seen.append(x)

Since:

seen.append(x) → returns None

not None → True

So the lambda returns:

True if x > limit

False otherwise

But it also mutates the seen list.

3. Creating the Filter Function

f = make_filter(2)

This means:

limit = 2

seen = [] (shared list)

f is now:

lambda x: x > 2 and not seen.append(x)

4. Applying filter

filter(f, [1,2,3,4,3,5])

5. Why duplicates are not removed

Because:

seen.append(x) is always executed for x > limit.

No check is done to prevent duplicates.

The lambda only tests x > limit.

So every value > 2 passes, including repeated 3.

6. Final Output

print(list(filter(f, [1,2,3,4,3,5])))

Output:

[3, 4, 3, 5]

Final Answer

[3, 4, 3, 5]

Day 24:Thinking dict.keys() returns a list

 

Day 24: Thinking dict.keys() Returns a List

This is a very common misunderstanding especially for beginners. While dict.keys() looks like a list, it actually isn’t one.

---

❌ The Mistake

data = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}

keys = data.keys()
print(keys[0]) # ❌ TypeError

Why this fails: dict.keys() does not return a list.

---

✅ The Correct Way

data = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}

keys = list(data.keys())
print(keys[0]) # ✅ Works

If you need indexing, slicing, or list operations—convert it to a list.

---

❌ Why This Fails

• dict.keys() returns a dict_keys view object

• View objects are:

  • Not indexable

  • Dynamically updated when the dictionary changes

• Treating it like a list causes errors

---

🧠 Simple Rule to Remember

✔ dict.keys() ≠ list
✔ Convert to a list if you need indexing
✔ Use it directly in loops for better performance

for key in data.keys(): 
    print(key)

---

🐍 Pro tip: View objects are efficient and memory-friendly use lists only when necessary.

Day 23: Using Recursion Without a Base Case

 

🐍 Python Mistakes Everyone Makes ❌

Day 23: Using Recursion Without a Base Case

Recursion is powerful, but without a base case, it becomes dangerous. A recursive function must always know when to stop.

---

❌ The Mistake

def countdown(n):
    print(n) 
    countdown(n - 1)

This function keeps calling itself endlessly.

---

✅ The Correct Way

def countdown(n):
    if n == 0:    # base case
       return
     print(n) 
     countdown(n - 1)

Here, the base case (n == 0) tells Python when to stop making recursive calls.

---

❌ Why This Fails

• No condition to stop recursion

• Function keeps calling itself forever

• Leads to RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

• Can crash your program

---

🧠 Simple Rule to Remember

✔ Every recursive function must have a base case
✔ The base case defines when recursion ends
✔ No base case → infinite recursion

---

🐍 Pro tip: Always ask yourself, “When does this recursion stop?”

AI Capstone Project with Deep Learning

 

In the world of AI education, there’s a big difference between learning concepts and building real solutions. That’s where capstone experiences shine. The AI Capstone Project with Deep Learning on Coursera is designed to help you bridge that gap — guiding you through the process of applying deep learning techniques to a complete, real-world problem from start to finish.

This isn’t just another course of videos and quizzes; it’s a project-based experience that gives you the opportunity to integrate your skills, tackle an end-to-end deep learning challenge, and produce a polished solution you can show in your portfolio. If you’ve studied deep learning concepts and want to demonstrate practical application, this capstone is your bridge to real-world readiness.

---

Why This Capstone Matters

Deep learning is one of the most impactful areas of artificial intelligence, powering modern systems in computer vision, natural language processing, time-series forecasting, and more. However:

• Real deep learning applications involve multiple stages of development

• Data isn’t always clean or well-structured

• Models must be trained, evaluated, tuned, and interpreted

• Deployment and communication of results matter as much as accuracy

A capstone project pushes you to handle all of these steps in a holistic way — just like you would in a practical AI job.

---

What You’ll Learn

Rather than learning isolated topics, this course helps you apply the deep learning workflow from start to finish. Key components include:

• Implementing models using deep learning libraries (e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch)

• Using GPUs or accelerators for efficient training

• Tracking experiments and performance

This gives you hands-on experience designing and training working deep learning systems.

---

4. Evaluating and Improving Performance

A model that works in training isn’t always useful in practice. You’ll learn how to:

• Select meaningful evaluation metrics

• Diagnose issues like overfitting and underfitting

• Tune hyperparameters

• Use validation techniques like cross-validation

This ensures your model doesn’t just fit data — it generalizes to new inputs.

---

5. Interpretation, Communication, and Insights

AI systems should be interpretable and meaningful. You’ll practice:

• Visualizing results and patterns

• Explaining model decisions to stakeholders

• Writing project reports and presentations

Communication is a core skill for any real-world AI professional.

Statistics for Data Science Essentials

 

In the world of data science, statistics is the foundation — it helps you understand data patterns, make predictions, evaluate models, and draw meaningful conclusions. Without a solid grasp of statistics, even the smartest machine learning models can lead you astray. That’s why Statistics for Data Science Essentials on Coursera is such an important course: it equips you with the statistical thinking and tools you need to make data-driven decisions with confidence.

This course doesn’t just teach formulas; it teaches you how to think like a data scientist — how to interpret data, measure uncertainty, and use statistics to draw reliable insights. Whether you’re aiming for a career in analytics, machine learning, business intelligence, or research, this course gives you the essential statistical toolkit to thrive.

---

Why This Course Matters

In data science, statistics serves two critical roles:

1. Understanding data behavior — Before building models, you need to know how data behaves: distributions, trends, variability, and relationships.

2. Evaluating results — Good decisions require more than point estimates. You must assess confidence, uncertainty, and what results really mean.

This course focuses on core statistical concepts that every data scientist must know, from descriptive statistics and probability to inference, estimation, and hypothesis testing. These skills help you understand both the strengths and the limitations of your analyses — an essential part of responsible, impactful data work.

---

What You’ll Learn

Here’s a breakdown of the key topics that the course typically covers:

---

1. Descriptive Statistics — Summarizing Data

You begin by learning how to describe and summarize datasets:

• Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode)

• Measures of spread (variance, standard deviation, range)

• Understanding distribution shapes

• Using summary statistics to compare groups

These tools help you capture the essence of data before modeling.

---

2. Probability — Quantifying Uncertainty

Probability is the language of uncertainty. You’ll explore:

• Basic probability concepts

• Probability rules (addition, multiplication)

• Conditional probability and independence

• Common distributions (normal, binomial, Poisson)

This gives you a foundation for interpreting randomness and variation in data.

---

3. Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem

One of the most powerful ideas in statistics is the Central Limit Theorem (CLT):

• Why sample averages behave predictably

• How distributions of statistics behave

• The concept of sampling variability

Understanding CLT lets you make population-level conclusions from samples — an everyday requirement in data science.

---

4. Confidence Intervals — Estimating with Certainty

Point estimates (like a mean) are useful, but confidence intervals tell you how much trust to place in them:

• Constructing confidence intervals for means and proportions

• Interpreting intervals correctly

• Sample size implications

This teaches you how to report results that reflect real uncertainty — a key element of rigorous analyses.

---

5. Hypothesis Testing — Evidence and Decisions

Hypothesis testing helps you make decisions based on data:

• Formulating null and alternative hypotheses
