A common mistake for people new to programming is a misunderstanding of the way that boolean operators works, which stems from the way the python interpreter reads these expressions. For example, after initially learning about "and " and "or" statements, one might assume that the expression X = (‘x’ or ‘y’) would check to see if the variable X was equivalent to one of the strings ‘a’ or ‘b’. This is not so. To understand, what i’m trying to say, start an interactive session with the interpreter and enter the following expressions:>>> 'x' == ('x' or 'y') True >>> 'y' ...

The zipapp module has been introduced in Python's standard library since ver 3.5. This module is used to manage the creation of zip files containing Python code, which can be executed directly by the Python interpreter. The module provides both a Command-Line Interface and a programming interface.To use zipapp module programmatically, we should have a module in which main function is present. The executable archive is built by following command −python -m zipapp myapp -m "example:main"Here, the current path should have a folder called myapp. In this folder, there should be example.py which must have main() function.Create myapp folder and ...

When you want to add to the module search path for a specific package and work with resources included in a package, you need to use pkgutil module from Python library. It includes functions for changing the import rules for Python packages. It is also possible to load non-code resources from files distributed within a package.extend_path(path, name)Extend the search path for the modules which comprise a package. Intended use is to place the following code in a package’s __init__.pyimport pkgutil __path__ = pkgutil.extend_path(__path__, __name__)extend_path() scans sys.path for directories that include a subdirectory named for the package given as the second ...

Python's interactive mode works on the principle of REPL (Read - Evaluate - Print - Loop). The code module in Python's standard library provides classes nd convenience functions to set up REPL environment from within Python script.Following two classes are defined in code module:InteractiveInterpreter: This class deals with parsing and interpreter state (the user’s namespace)InteractiveConsole: Closely emulate the behavior of the interactive Python interpreter.Two convenience functions in the module are:interact(): Convenience function to run a read-eval-print loop.compile_command(): This function is useful for programs that want to emulate Python’s interpreter main loop (the REPL).Interactive Interpreter methodsrunsource(): Compile and run some source ...

How are arguments passed by value or by reference in Python?

Python uses a mechanism, which is known as "Call-by-Object", sometimes also called "Call by Object Reference" or "Call by Sharing"If you pass immutable arguments like integers, strings or tuples to a function, the passing acts like Call-by-value. It's different, if we pass mutable arguments.All parameters (arguments) in the Python language are passed by reference. It means if you change what a parameter refers to within a function, the change also reflects back in the calling function.Examplestudent={'Archana':28, 'krishna':25, 'Ramesh':32, 'vineeth':25} def test(student):    new={'alok':30, 'Nevadan':28}    student.update(new)    print("Inside the function", student)    return test(student) print("outside the function:", student)OutputInside the function ...

It does't matter how many lines of code you write in a program. When you want to remove or delete any elements from the Python list, you have to think about the difference between remove, del and pop in Python List and which one to useremove : remove() removes the first matching value or object, not a specific indexing. lets say list.remove(value)Examplelist=[10, 20, 30, 40] list.remove(30) print(list)Output[10, 20, 40]del : del removes the item at a specific index. lets say del list[index]Examplelist = [10, 20, 30, 40, 55] del list[1] print(list)Output[10, 30, 40, 55]pop : pop removes the item at a specific index and returns ...

We  not only use lists to store a collection of values, but we also use it to perform some mathematical calculations or operations to do.Example 1import math data = 21.6 print('The floor of 21.6 is:', math.floor(data))OutputThe floor of 21.6 is: 21How To Calculate the Weighted Average of a ListExample 2cost = [0.424, 0.4221, 0.4185, 0.4132, 0.413] cases = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] cost = [23, 10, 5, 32, 41] weight= [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] for i in range(len(cost)): cost[c] = (cost[i] * weight[i] / sum(weight)) cost = sum(cost) print(cost)Output72.84444444444445Example 3import math degree = 180 radian = math.radians(degree) ...

Updated on 30-Jul-2019 5K+ Views

Yes, Python support both Object  Oriented and Procedural  Programming language as it is a high level programming language designed for general purpose programming. Python are multi-paradigm, you can write programs or libraries that are largely procedural, object-oriented, or functional in all of these languages. It depends on what you mean by functional. Python does have some features of a functional language. OOP's concepts like, Classes, Encapsulation, Polymorphism, Inheritance etc.. in Python makes it as a object oriented programming language. In Similar way we can created procedural program through python using loops ,for ,while etc ..and control structure.Exampleclass Rectangle:    def __init__(self, length, breadth, ...

What is lambda binding in Python?

Sri
Sri
Updated on 30-Jul-2019 785 Views

When a program or function statement is executed, the current values of formal parameters are saved (on the stack) and within the scope of the statement, they are bound to the values of the actual arguments made in the call. When the statement is exited, the original values of those formal arguments are restored. This protocol is fully recursive. If within the body of a statement, something is done that causes the formal parameters to be bound again, to new values, the lambda-binding scheme guarantees that this will all happen in an orderly manner.there is only one binding for x: ...
