ging the collection type from one type to another is a very frequent need in python. In this article we will see how we create a tuple from the key value pairs that are present in a dictionary. Each of the key value pair becomes a tuple. So the final list is a list whose elements are tuples.With items()We sue the items method of the dictionary which allows us to iterate through each of the key value pairs. Then we use a for loop to pack those values in to a tuple. We put all these tuples to a final ... Read More
Changing the collection type from one type to another is a very frequent need in python. In this article we will see how we create a dictionary when multiple lists are given. The challenge is to be able to combine all these lists to create one dictionary accommodating all these values in a dictionary key value format.With zipThe zip function can be used to combine the values of different lists as shown below. In the below example we have taken three lists as input and combine them to form a single dictionary. One of the list supplies the keys for ... Read More
Suppose we have a list of positive integers; the adjacent integers will perform the float division. So for example, [2, 3, 4] -> 2 / 3 / 4. Now, we can add any number of parenthesis at any position to change the priority of these operations. We should find out how to add parenthesis to get the maximum result, we have to find the corresponding expression in string format. Our expression should NOT contain redundant parenthesis. So if the input is like [1000, 100, 10, 2], then the result will be “1000/(100/10/2)”.To solve this, we will follow these steps −n ... Read More
A python dictionary is a collection which is unordered, changeable and indexed. They have keys and values and each item is referred using the key. In this article we will explore the ways to delete the items form a dictionary.Using del with keysIn this approach we capture the key values that are needed to be deleted. Once we apply the del function, the key value pairs for those keys get deleted.Example Live Demo# Given dictionary ADict = {1: 'Mon', 2: 'Tue', 3: 'Wed', 4:'Thu', 5:'Fri'} # Get keys with value in 2, 3. to_del = [key for key in ADict ...

While manipulating data from lists we may come across scenario where we have selectively remove elements form the list based on their frequency. In this article we will explore how to remove all elements from a list whose frequency is less than equal to 2. You can also change the value 2 to any number in the programs.With countThe count methods keep the count of each element in the list. So we use it with a for loop and put a condition to only keep the elements whose count is greater than 2.Example Live DemolistA = ['Mon', 3, 'Tue', 'Mon', 9, ... Read More
Deleting a single element from a python is straight forward by using the index of the element and the del function. But there may be scenarios when we need to delete elements for a group of indices. This article explores the approaches to delete only those elements form the list which are specified in the index list.Using sort and delIn this approach we create a list containing the index values where deletion has to happen. The we sort and reverse them to preserve the original order of the elements of the list. Finally we apply the del function to the ... Read More
Suppose we have a list of 24-hour clock time points in "Hour:Minutes" format, we have to find the minimum minutes difference between any two time points in the list. So if the input is like [“12:30”, ”15:17”], so this will return 167.To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define an array called ok of size 24*60 + 1, and initially all are false.n := size of tpfor i in range 0 to n – 1hr := the hour part from the timemin := minute part of the stringtime := hr * 60 + minif ok[time] is true, then return ...

Python being a versatile language can handle many requirements that comes up during the data processing. When we need to convert a decimal number to a binary number we can use the following python programs.Using formatWe can Use the letter in the formatter to indicate which number base: decimal, hex, octal, or binary we want our number to be formatted. In the below example we take the formatter as 0:0b then supply the integer to the format function which needs to get converted to binary.Example Live DemoDnum = 11 print("Given decimal : " + str(Dnum)) # Decimal to binary ...

Data analytics throws complex scenarios where the data need to be wrangled to moved around. In this context let’s see how we can take a big list and split it into many sublists as per the requirement. In this article we will explore the approaches to achieve this.With zip and for loopIn this approach we use list dicing to get the elements from the point at which the splitting has to happen. Then we use zip and for loop to create the sublists using a for loop.Example Live DemoAlist = ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 6, 7, 'Thu', 'Fri', 11, 21, 4] ... Read More
Python can handle any requirement in data manipulation through its wide variety of libraries and methods. When we need to generate all the numbers between a pair of given numbers, we can use python’s inbuilt functions as well as some of the libraries. This article describes such approaches.Using rangeThe range() function returns a sequence of numbers, starting from 0 by default, and increments by 1 ending at a specified number. We can of curse change the starting, ending as well as increment steps to suit our need.Example Live Demodef getnums(s, e, i): return list(range(s, e, i)) # Driver Code ... Read More
