I think it depends on what you consider "basic data structures"...

If it's the List and Dict (or whatever they are called in that language) then maybe. But I'd not expect someone to spell the correct API by heart to use Stack, Queue, Deque, etc, even they're text book examples of "basic" data structures.

For me, in a coding test, basic data structures are (using Python terms for brevity):

- lists

- dictionaries

- sets

- nested versions of the above

- strings (not exactly a data structure)

strings are tenuously in my data structures list because I let people treat them as ascii arrays to avoid most of the string footguns.
