FAANG interviews?
Knowing that __new__() comes before __init__() is probably useful, as the deeper one gets into a language the more important it is to understand the lifecycle of an object. Otherwise, the only thing I can think of that's special is understanding that and how it works as a singleton.
- gautamdivgi 4y agoI’ve been through a couple of those. I’ve never been asked language specific questions. Most FAANG code interviews don’t care much about which language you choose. I’ve also not seen them care if you use OO or don’t. Either way works - as long as your algorithm is good. In short this is irrelevant for those interviews. It’s definitely relevant if you do python as a day job.
