Python's core library has two built-in functions max() and min() respectively to find maximum and minimum number from a sequence of numbers in the form of list or tuple object.example>>> max(23,21,45,43) 45 >>> l1=[20,50,40,30] >>> max(l1) 50 >>> t1=(30,50,20,40) >>> max(t1) 50 >>> min(l1) 20 >>> min(t1) 20 >>> min(23,21,45,43) 21

The absolute value of a number is its non-negative representation. It specifies the distance of that number from zero on a number line, irrespective of its direction.For example, the absolute value of -2 is 2, and 2 is simply 2. In this article, we will explore how to calculate the absolute value of a number in Python. Calculating Absolute Value in Python The following methods can be efficiently used to calculate the absolute value of a number. Using User-Defined Function (Brute Method) Using abs() function ...

In this article, we will explain the immutable datatypes in Python. Python considers everything to be an object. A unique id is assigned to it when we instantiate an object. We cannot modify the type of object, but we may change its value. For example, if we set variable a to be a list, we can't change it to a tuple/dictionary, but we may modify the entries in that list. In Python, there are two kinds of objects. On the one hand, there are objects that can change their internal state (the data/content inside the objects), i.e. they can be ... Read More

In Python, dictionaries are used to store data as key-value pairs, and lists store a collection of items separated by commas. To map two lists into a dictionary, we have various methods in Python that we will explore in this article. Mapping two lists into a Dictionary Mapping two lists into a dictionary can be done using the following methods - Using a Loop Using a Zip and Dict Method Using Dictionary Comprehension Using a Loop For loops are used to iterate ...

There are two ways available to access value associated with a key in a dictionary collection object. The dictionary class method get() takes key as argument and returns value. >>> d1 = {'name': 'Ravi', 'age': 23, 'marks': 56} >>> d1.get('age') 23 Another way is to use key inside square brackets in front of dictionary object >>> d1 = {'name': 'Ravi', 'age': 23, 'marks': 56} >>> d1['age'] 23

In Python, objects are instances of classes containing attributes and methods, while dictionaries are collections of key-value pairs. We can obtain a dictionary from an object's fields - Using __dict__ Using vars() Using __dict__ You can access an object's attributes as a dictionary using its _dict_ attribute. In Python, every object has a _dict_ attribute that stores the object's attributes and their values as a dictionary (key-value pairs). Example In this example, we have defined a class Company with attributes Companyname and Location, and created ... Read More

In this article, we will show you how to convert a python dictionary to a list. Below are the methods to accomplish this task: Using list & items() Method Using keys() Method Using values() Method Using List Comprehension Using Zip() Function Using map() Function Using for loop & items() Method Dictionaries are Python's version of an associative array data structure. A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. Each key pair is represented by a key pair and its associated value. A dictionary is defined by a list of key-value pairs enclosed in curly braces and ... Read More

There are two separate concepts here − scope, which determines where a name can be accessed - global and local storage duration, which determines when a variable is created and destroyed - static and auto Scope Local variables can be used only by statements that are inside that function or block of code. Local variables are not known to functions on their own. Example Live Demo #include using namespace std; int main () { // Local variable declaration: int a, b; int c; // actual initialization a = 10; b = 20; c = a + b; cout

In C++, the scope defines the region within which a variable can be accessed. So, if broadly speaking, there are three main places where variables can be declared and accessed: Inside a function or a block, which are called local variables. In the definition of function parameters, which are called formal parameters. Outside of all functions, which are called global variables. Local Variables Local variables are the variables that are defined inside a function, method, or block of code within curly braces {}. These variables cannot be ... Read More

Global variables are defined outside of all the functions, usually on top of the program. The global variables will hold their value throughout the lifetime of your program.A global variable can be accessed by any function. That is, a global variable is available for use throughout your entire program after its declaration. Example#include using namespace std; // Global variable declaration: int g; int main () {    // Local variable declaration:    int a, b;    a = 10;    b = 20;    g = a + b;    cout
