How to comment each condition in a multi-line if statement in Python?

You can do this directly if you are surrounding your multiline if statements conditions in a parenthesis. For example,if (cond1 == 'val1' and    cond2 == 'val2' and # Some comment    cond3 == 'val3' and # Some comment    cond4 == 'val4'):However, this is not possible if you try to do this without a parenthesis. For example, the following code will give an error:if cond1 == 'val1' and \    cond2 == 'val2' and \ # Some comment    cond3 == 'val3' and \ # Some comment    cond4 == 'val4':

What is python .. ("dot dot") notation syntax?

There is no special .. ("dot dot") notation syntax in python. You can, however, see this in case of floats accessing their properties. For example,f = 1..__truediv__ # or 1..__div__ for python 2 print(f(8))This will give the output:0.125What we have is a float literal without the trailing zero, which we then access the __truediv__ method of. It's not an operator in itself; the first dot is part of the float value, and the second is the dot operator to access the object's properties and methods. This can also be achieved using:>>> f = 1. >>> f 1.0 >>> f.__truediv__

From the Python docs:Operators in the same box group left to right (except for comparisons), including tests, which all have the same precedence and chain from left to right — see section Comparisons — and exponentiation, which groups from right to left).So the ** operator(exponentiation) is right to left associative. For example,2 ** 3 ** 4 will be evaluated as: (2 ** (3 ** 4))For example,print(2 ** 3 ** 0)This will give the output:2

Yes. From Java 8 onwards, we can do so using method references.Method references help to point to methods by their names. A method reference is described using "::" symbol. A method reference can be used to point the following types of methods −Static methodsInstance methodsConstructors using new operator (TreeSet::new)Method Reference ExampleCreate the following Java program using any editor of your choice in, say, C:\> JAVA.Java8Tester.java Live Demo import java.util.List; import java.util.ArrayList; public class Java8Tester {    public static void main(String args[]) {       List names = new ArrayList(); names.add("Mahesh");       names.add("Suresh");       names.add("Ramesh");       ...

A method can give multiple values if we pass an object to the method and then modifies its values. See the example below −Examplepublic class Tester { public static void main(String[] args) { Model model = new Model(); model.data1 = 1; model.data2 = 2; System.out.println(model.data1 + ", " + model.data2); changeValues(model); System.out.println(model.data1 + ", " + model.data2); } public static void changeValues(Model model) { model.data1 = 100; model.data2 = 200; } } class Model { int data1; int data2; }Output1, 2 100, 200

You can sort a list of dictionaries by values of the dictionary using the sorted function and passing it a lambda that tells which key to use for sorting. For example, A = [{'name':'john', 'age':45},      {'name':'andi', 'age':23},      {'name':'john', 'age':22},      {'name':'paul', 'age':35},      {'name':'john', 'age':21}] new_A = sorted(A, key=lambda x: x['age']) print(new_A)This will give the output:[{'name': 'john', 'age': 21}, {'name': 'john', 'age': 22}, {'name': 'andi', 'age': 23}, {'name': 'paul', 'age': 35}, {'name': 'john', 'age': 45}]You can also sort it in place using the sort function instead of the sorted function. For example, A ...

If you have a dictionary of the following format:{    'KEY1':{'name':'foo', 'data':1351, 'completed':100},    'KEY2':{'name':'bar', 'data':1541, 'completed':12},    'KEY3':{'name':'baz', 'data':58413, 'completed':18} }And you want to sort by the key, completed within each entry, in a ascending order, you can use the sorted function with a lambda that specifies which key to use to sort the data. For example, my_collection = {    'KEY1':{'name':'foo', 'data':1351, 'completed':100},    'KEY2':{'name':'bar', 'data':1541, 'completed':12},    'KEY3':{'name':'baz', 'data':58413, 'completed':18} } sorted_keys = sorted(my_collection, key=lambda x: (my_collection[x]['completed'])) print(sorted_keys)This will give the output:['KEY2', 'KEY3', 'KEY1']
