More FAQs in Python for DSA: Coding Speed vs Execution Speed
For the highest levels of competitive programming, yes. But for standard technical interviews and basic CP platforms, Python is perfectly adequate.
No. Interviewers evaluate your algorithm's time complexity (Big O) and logic, not the execution speed of the language itself.
Python lacks a built-in balanced binary search tree (like TreeMap in Java). You may have to rely on libraries or implement logic manually if specifically asked.
