You can suspend the calling thread for a given time in Python using the sleep method from the time module. It accepts the number of seconds for which you want to put the calling thread on suspension for. Exampleimport time while(True):   print("Prints every 10 seconds")   time.sleep(10)OutputPrints every 10 seconds Prints every 10 seconds Prints every 10 seconds ...Each of the above statements will be printed every 10 seconds.Note that this method also supports floating point values so you can also put the calling thread to sleep for fractions of seconds.

The Python dictionary has key and value pairs. In some situation we will need the items of the dictionary to be sorted according to the keys. In this article we'll see the different ways to get a sorted output from the items in the dictionary.Using Operator ModuleThe Operator module has itemgetter function which can take 0 as the index of input parameter for the keys of the dictionary. We apply the sorted function on top of itemgetter and get the sorted output.Example Live Demodict = {12 : 'Mon', 21 : 'Tue', 17: 'Wed'} import operator print("Given dictionary", str(dict)) print ("sorted order ...

Tkinter is the GUI building library of python. In this article we will see how we can create a collapsible pane. They are usefult when we have some large amount of data to be displayed over a GUI canvas but we do not want to be displayed always. It is made collapsible so that it can be displayed as and when needed.The below program creates the collapsible pane where we see the result both after expanding and contracting the arrow. The code comments indicate the approach we take at each step.Examplefrom tkinter import * import tkinter as tk from tkinter ... Read More

Many times we use a method called data smoothing to make the data proper and qualitative for statistical analysis. During the smoking process we define a range also called bin and any data value within the range is made to fit into the bin. This is called the binning method. Below is an example of binning. Then we will see how we can achieve the binning method using a Python program.Binning ExampleLet’s take a series of numbers. Find the maximum and minimum values. Decide on the number of bins we need depending on how many data points the analysis needs. ... Read More

In this article, we will learn how to add a constant K value to each element in a Python list of integers. A list is a data type in Python that stores a sequence of items separated by commas, like this − List = [item1, item2, item3…] Suppose we have a list of integers called "a" and a constant value "k." We need to add this "k" to each item in the "a" list. For example − Input: a = [5, 10, 15, 20] k = 5 Output: #On adding 5 to each element of the ... Read More

By adding strings in python we just concatenate them to get a new string. This is useful in many scenarios like text analytics etc. Below are the two approaches we consider for this task.Using += OperatorThe + operator can be used for strings in a similar was as it is for numbers. The only difference being, in case of strings the concatenation happens and not a numeric addition.Example Live Demos1 = "What a beautiful " s2 = "flower " print("Given string s1 : " + str(s1)) print("Given string s2 : " + str(s2)) #Using += operator res1 = s1+s2 print("result ...

Lists can be nested. Which means we have smaller lists as elements inside a bigger list. In this article we solve the challenge of adding the elements of a simple list to the elements of a nested list. If the length of the lists are different then the length of the smaller list becomes the maximum length of the resulting list.Below are the various methods to accomplish this.Using for LoopIn this method, we take the length of the smaller list and loop through the elements of this list adding it to the elements of the bigger list. Here we use ... Read More

We may sometimes need to append zeros as string to various data elements in python. There may the reason for formatting and nice representation or there may be the reason for some calculations where these values will act as input. Below are the methods which we will use for this purpose.Using format()Here we take a DataFrame and apply the format function to the column wher we need to append the zeros as strings. The lambda method is used to apply the function repeatedly.Example Live Demoimport pandas as pd string = {'Column' : ['HOPE', 'FOR', 'THE', 'BEST']} dataframe=pd.DataFrame(string) print("given column is ") ...
