. Write flask route for Route which accept GET and POST. ( My syntex was not write I did mistake he didn't said anything asked nest questions)

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleLive Flask coding: chhota route likho, save, browser/curl se test. Syntax error terminal mein padho.
Example
```
@app.route('/ping')
def ping():
 return jsonify(ok=True)

@app.route('/even/<int:n>')
def even(n):
 return 'even' if n % 2 == 0 else 'odd'
```

Advice: Just remember syntex of flask route and jinja loop ( if and For) and some basic questions like MVC and you are good to go

Asked some functionality of the app like register a student ,blacklist a student ,edit the details of the company and student that is edit profile

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleBlacklist/block: user.status='blocked' check login/booking pe. Temporary flag vs hard delete permanent.
2

Asked three theory questions

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleTheory = concepts: ORM, MVC, auth vs authz, Jinja inheritance, sessions. 1-line def + project example.
3

Like what is MVC

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleMVC: Model=data (SQLAlchemy), View=Jinja HTML, Controller=Flask routes/business logic.
Flask loosely MVC follow karta hai — routes controllers, templates views, models.py models.
4
And What is REST API

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleAPI = Application Programming Interface — do systems predefined rules se baat karti hain. REST API HTTP + JSON use karti hai.
Controller/route HTML bhi return kar sakta hai. REST API generally JSON return karti hai, frontend alag ho (Vue/Postman).
Example
```
@app.route('/api/users/<int:id>')
def get_user(id):
 u = User.query.get_or_404(id)
 return jsonify(id=u.id, name=u.name)
```
MAD1 HTML apps mein 'API' kabhi-kabhi routes ko hi keh dete hain. Agar Vue nahi to bolo: server-rendered Flask, JSON APIs optional.
Boolean return: technically jsonify(True) ho sakta hai, lekin meaningful JSON object better. Flask view None return kare to error.
Test: Postman se GET/POST.
Parsing: request.get_json() body se, request.args query se.
5

What are the main frameworks used

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleStack bolo: Python, Flask, Jinja2, SQLAlchemy, SQLite, HTML/CSS/Bootstrap, maybe Chart.js.
6

Coding question

Times asked 1

Official solution

SimpleLive coding: notepad/editor mein chhota Flask route / Jinja loop / model field. Calm raho, run karke dikhao.

Advice: No just be thorough with the code and concepts used and he asked me a concept that was not used so be prepared thoroughly.

2
Diff btw put and patch

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimplePOST naya janam (har baar naya id). PUT poori photo replace. PATCH sticker chipkao.
POST create, not idempotent. PUT full update, idempotent. PATCH partial.
POST ki jagah PUT se REST semantics toot. GET typically no body.
CRUD map: POST create, GET read, PUT/PATCH update, DELETE delete.
Pehle 1-line definition, phir related MAD2 layer (Vue SFC / Flask route / models.py / tasks.py / Redis).
4-line formula: input kahan se aaya, auth/validation kaunsa, DB ya cache ya Celery, kya return.
Related mix mat karo — cache ≠ Celery, authentication ≠ authorization, v-if ≠ v-show, Beat ≠ Worker. Follow-up ke liye ek difference ready rakho.
Example
```
POST /api/venues
PUT  /api/venues/1   {all fields}
PATCH /api/venues/1 {only name}
```
Project example: POST /api/venues create. PUT /venues/1 saari fields. PATCH sirf name.

Write Jinja-if Code on notepad.

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleJinja2 Flask ka template engine — HTML ke andar {{ }} variables, {% %} logic.
Example

 <li>{{ lot.name }} — {{ lot.spots }}</li>
{% else %}
 No lots
{% endfor %}
```
3
Write query where username is admin

Times asked 1
Official solution

Patternfilter query → template/JSON. Examiner jo entity bole us class ka naam use karo.
```
@app.route('/admin/blacklisted')
def blacklisted():
 rows = User.query.filter_by(is_blacklisted=True).all()
 return render_template('list.html', rows=rows)

JSON: return jsonify([{'id': r.id, 'name': r.name} for r in rows])
ID se: User.query.get_or_404(id)
Do filters: .filter(Drive.approved==False, Drive.title=='Data Scientist')
```
Join example: students jinhone blacklisted company ke drive pe apply kiya — join Application-Drive-Company.
PUT@app.route('/x/<int:id>', methods=['PUT']) + request.get_json()
url param display: @app.route('/show/<int:id>') return render_template('show.html', id=id)
Form → next page: POST values render_template('out.html', **request.form)
Count: return str(User.query.filter_by(is_blacklisted=True).count())

Advice: Anyways, the proctor is chill and kind one. If you stuck somewhere, he will help you as well

type of http methods

Times asked 1
Official solution

SimpleHTTP verbs REST ke tools. Methods HTTP ke hain, REST unhe convention se use karta hai.
GET read cacheable. POST create payload. PUT replace. PATCH patch. DELETE remove.
GET exists bina REST ke bhi — browser address bar.
HTTP verbs + status REST ki zabaan. GET read, POST create, PUT replace, PATCH partial, DELETE remove. GET typically no body.
Status: 200 OK, 201 created, 202 accepted (Celery task), 400 bad input, 401 no/bad token, 403 role nahi, 404 missing, 409 conflict (double book), 500 server.
AJAX/fetch page reload nahi. SPA poori isi pe. Postman se bina Vue ke API prove karo — examiner pasand.
Example
```
GET /api/venues
POST /api/venues
PUT /api/venues/1
DELETE /api/venues/1
```
Project example: resources.py methods list. Postman 4-5 calls.
Viva tipGET typically no body (cacheable). POST/PUT/PATCH haan payload. PUT idempotent, POST nahi.
