The following article discusses an efficient approach to compute the total time taken to type out a word using a single-row keyboard. This is an interesting problem and has been asked previously in technical interviews. Problem Statement Consider a hypothetical scenario wherein all the keys on a keyboard are placed in a single row. The first key is indexed 0 and the last key is indexed 25. For a given string ‘s’ calculate the time taken to type all the characters of ‘s’ on a special keyboard with layout specified as ‘keyboard_layout’. The time taken ... Read More
Right rotating an array means shifting its elements to the right by a certain number of positions. In a single right rotation, the last element of the array becomes the first element, and the remaining elements are shifted to the right. Problem Statement The goal is to find the Mth element of an array after performing K right rotations, where K and M are non-negative integers and the array contains N elements. Sample Examples Input arr = [12 34 56 21], K = 2, M = 1 Output 56 Explanation Arr after K right ... Read More
Plotly supports to the range on both X and Y axis. Let us understand how to set the range of Y-axis in Plotly. plotly.graph_objects is used to generate figures. It contains a lot of methods to customize charts and render a chart in HTML format. Create a numpy module and generate random ranges for both X and Y axis. Create Figure() method to plot X and Y axis with mode as lines Create update_layout() method and set the Y-axis range. Follow the steps given to set the range of Y-axis in Plotly. Step 1 − Import plotly Import ... Read More
A UNIX timestamp is the total number of seconds that have been counted since the epoch. An epoch is the starting point of time and is platform-dependent. The epoch is January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 (UTC) on Windows and most Unix systems, and leap seconds are not included in the time in seconds since the epoch. In this article, we going to see how to convert a python date to a UNIX timestamp. Datetime to UNIX timestamp Here we convert a python date to a UNIX timestamp by using the time.mktime() method. In this example, we initially imported the datetime module. ... Read More
Turtle is a special feature of Python. Using Turtle, we can easily draw in a drawing board.First, we import the turtle module. Then create a window, we create a turtle object, and using the turtle() method we can draw on the drawing board. Some turtle method METHOD PARAMETER DESCRIPTION Turtle() None It creates and returns a new turtle object forward() amount It moves the turtle forward by the specified amount backward() amount It moves the turtle backward by the specified amount right() angle It turns the turtle clockwise ...

In Python, a list is an ordered sequence that can hold several object types such as integer, character, or float. In other programming languages, a list is equivalent to an array. In this article, we will show you how to insert an item/object in a list at a given position using python. − Insert an item at a specific position in a list Insert an item at the first position in the list Insert an item at the last/end position in the list Assume we have taken a list containing some elements. We will insert an object in ... Read More
In this article, we will show you how to do date validation in Python. Now we see 2 methods to accomplish this task− Using datetime.strptime() function Using dateutil.parser.parse() function Method 1: Using datetime.strptime() function Algorithm (Steps) Following are the Algorithm/steps to be followed to perform the desired task − Use the import keyword, to import the datetime (To work with dates and times) module. Enter the date as a string and create a variable to store it. Enter the date format as a string and create another variable to store it. Use the try−except blocks for handling the ... Read More
Using subplot(row, col, index) method, we can split a figure in row*col parts, and can plot the figure at the index position. In the following program, we will create two diagrams in a single figure.StepsCreating x, y1, y2 points using numpy.With nrows = 1, ncols = 2, index = 1, add subplot to the current figure, using the subplot() method.Plot the line using x and y1 points, using the plot() method.Set up the title, label for X and Y axes for Figure 1, using plt.title(), plt.xlabel(), and plt.ylabel() methods.With nrows = 1, ncols = 2, index = 2, add subplot ...

FunctionA function is a block of code to carry out a specific task, will contain its own scope and is called by name. All functions may contain zero(no) arguments or more than one arguments. On exit, a function can or can not return one or more values.Basic function syntaxdef functionName( arg1, arg2, ...): ... # Function_body ...Let's create our own (user), a very simple function called sum (user can give any name he wants). Function "sum" is having two arguments called num1 and num2 and will return the sum of the arguments passed to the function(sum). When ... Read More
In Python, PYTHONPATH is an environment variable that specifies a list of directories to search for Python modules when importing them. When you import a module in Python, Python looks for the module in the directories specified in sys.path, which is a list of directories that includes the current working directory and directories specified in PYTHONPATH. PYTHONPATH is an environment variable which you can set to add additional directories where python will look for modules and packages. For most installations, you should not set these variables since they are not needed for Python to run. Python knows where to find ... Read More
