I appeared for an interview in Mar 2025, where I was asked the following questions.

  • Q1. What is Abstract class
  • Ans. 

    An abstract class is a blueprint for other classes, allowing for shared methods and properties while preventing instantiation.

    • An abstract class cannot be instantiated directly.

    • You can view the MRO of a class using the __mro__ attribute or the mro() method.
