🗓 Python Basics You Should Know 🐍

✅ 1. Variables & Data Types 
Variables store data. Data types show what kind of data it is.

# String (text)
name = "Alice"

# Integer (whole number)
age = 25

# Float (decimal)
height = 5.6

# Boolean (True/False)
is_student = True
🔹 Use type() to check data type:
print(type(name))  # <class 'str'>

✅ 2. Lists and Tuples
⦁ List = changeable collection
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(fruits)  # banana
fruits.append("orange")  # add item
⦁ Tuple = fixed collection (cannot change items)
colors = ("red", "green", "blue")
print(colors)  # red

✅ 3. Dictionaries 
Store data as key-value pairs.

person = {
  "name": "John",
  "age": 22,
  "city": "Seoul"
}
print(person["name"])  # John

✅ 4. Conditional Statements (if-else) 
Make decisions.

age = 20
if age >= 18:
    print("Adult")
else:
    print("Minor")
🔹 Use elif for multiple conditions:
if age < 13:
    print("Child")
elif age < 18:
    print("Teenager")
else:
    print("Adult")

✅ 5. Loops 
Repeat code.

⦁ For Loop – fixed repeats
for i in range(3):
    print("Hello", i)
⦁ While Loop – repeats while true
count = 1
while count <= 3:
    print("Count is", count)
    count += 1

✅ 6. Functions 
Reusable code blocks.

def greet(name):
    print("Hello", name)

greet("Alice")  # Hello Alice
🔹 Return result:
def add(a, b):
    return a + b

print(add(3, 5))  # 8

✅ 7. Input / Output 
Get user input and show messages.

name = input("Enter your name: ")
print("Hi", name)

🧪 Mini Projects

1. Number Guessing Game
import random
num = random.randint(1, 10)
guess = int(input("Guess a number (1-10): "))
if guess == num:
    print("Correct!")
else:
    print("Wrong, number was", num)

2. To-Do List
todo = []
todo.append("Buy milk")
todo.append("Study Python")
print(todo)

ML interview Question 📚

What is Quantization in machine learning?

Quantization the process of reducing the precision of the numbers used to represent a model's parameters, such as weights and activations. This is often done by converting 32-bit floating-point numbers (commonly used in training) to lower precision formats, like 16-bit or 8-bit integers.

Quantization is primarily used during model inference to:
1. Reduce model size: Lower precision numbers require less memory.
2. Improve computational efficiency: Operations on lower-precision data types are faster and require less power.
3. Speed up inference: Smaller models can be loaded faster, improving performance on edge devices like smartphones or IoT devices.

Quantization can lead to a small loss in model accuracy, as reducing precision can introduce rounding errors. But in many cases, the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency is worthwhile, especially for deployment on resource-constrained devices.

There are different types of quantization:
1. Post-training quantization: Applied after the model has been trained.
2.Quantization-aware training (QAT): Takes quantization into account during the training process to minimize the accuracy drop.

🛠️ Must-Know SQL Commands & Functions ✅

1. SELECT – Retrieve data 
   › SELECT * FROM customers;

2. WHERE – Filter rows 
   › SELECT * FROM orders WHERE amount > 500;

3. ORDER BY – Sort results 
   › SELECT name FROM users ORDER BY age DESC;

4. GROUP BY – Aggregate data 
   › SELECT department, COUNT(*) FROM employees GROUP BY department;

5. JOIN – Combine tables 
   › SELECT a.name, b.salary FROM employees a JOIN salaries b ON a.id = b.emp_id;

6. INSERT INTO – Add new data 
   › INSERT INTO users (name, age) VALUES ('John', 30);

7. UPDATE – Modify existing data 
   › UPDATE products SET price = 100 WHERE id = 1;

8. DELETE – Remove data 
   › DELETE FROM logs WHERE date < '2023-01-01';

9. LIKE – Pattern matching 
   › SELECT * FROM customers WHERE name LIKE 'A%';

10. LIMIT – Restrict result rows
