This question evaluates foundational competencies in Python language semantics (list vs tuple, identity vs equality) and web fundamentals (HTTP vs HTTPS, CRUD and API concepts), assessing knowledge of data structures, object identity, protocol security, and how CRUD operations map to web services.

In a software engineering interview, explain the following fundamentals:

  1. In Python, what are the differences between a list and a tuple? When would you use each?
  2. What is the difference between is and == in Python?
  3. What is the difference between HTTP and HTTPS?
  4. What do CRUD and API mean, and how are CRUD operations commonly represented in web services?
