✅ Top Programming Basics Interview Questions with Answers 🧠💻

1️⃣ What is a variable?
Answer:
A variable is a named container used to store data in a program. Its value can change during execution.
Example:
name = "Alice"
age = 25


2️⃣ What are data types?
Answer:
Data types define the kind of value a variable can hold. Common types:
– int: Integer (e.g., 5)
– float: Decimal (e.g., 3.14)
– char / str: Character or String
– bool: Boolean (True/False)

3️⃣ What are operators in programming?
Answer:
Operators perform operations on variables/values.
– Arithmetic: +, -, *, /
– Comparison: ==,!=, >, <
– Logical: &&, ||,! (or and, or, not)
– Assignment: =, +=, -=

4️⃣ What is type casting?
Answer:
Type casting means converting one data type to another.
Example (Python):
x = int("5")     # Converts string to integer


5️⃣ What is the purpose of comments in code?
Answer:
Comments are used to explain code. They're ignored during execution.
– Single-line: // comment or # comment
– Multi-line:
"""
This is a
multi-line comment
"""


6️⃣ How do you take input and display output?
Answer:
Python Example:
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print("Hello", name)

C++ Example:
cin >> name;
cout << "Hello " << name;


7️⃣ What is the difference between a statement and an expression?
Answer:
– Expression: Returns a value (e.g., 2 + 3)
– Statement: Performs an action (e.g., x = 5)

8️⃣ What is the difference between compile-time and run-time?
Answer:
– Compile-time: Errors detected before execution (e.g., syntax errors)
– Run-time: Errors during execution (e.g., divide by zero)
