Introduction Ticks are tiny symbols that Matplotlib uses to represent the positions of data points on both axes of a plot. They may be positioned to best fit the data range and are used to highlight certain locations on the x and y axes. Usually, ticks may be labeled to indicate the precise values they stand for. In the python package Seaborn, there are two functions, namely, xticks() and yticks() that can be used for adjusting the ticks of a given graph. Syntax To adjust the number of ticks in Seaborn plots, we can use the following syntax − ... Read More

Introduction In a plot, a marker is a symbol that designates a single data point. Size, color, and shape are just a few of the attributes that may be changed. Markers are commonly used in conjunction with other charting methods to enhance the readability and comprehension of data. With Matplotlib, a wide variety of marker shapes are provided, including circles, squares, triangles, diamonds, and more. It is possible to alter the marker size to draw attention to crucial details or to develop more aesthetically pleasing plots. We'll show you how to alter the marker size in Matplotlib using examples of ... Read More

IntroductionBefore Google acquired Youtube, most of it was built using PHP. However, PHP at that time had a lot of restrictions for cross-platform applications, and generated a lot of clutter.  After Google’s intervention, Youtube underwent an overhaul, with a major change in interface and security. In this article, we will go through the portions of Youtube where Python is used as the primary language. Reasons why Python is Used Reducing clutter Implementing newer features Frontend and API deployment Increased security Data visualization and analysis Easier maintenance Reason 1: Reducing ClutterAs Youtube was first established ...

The coolest Python program I have ever made is Python password hasher. Let's first understand what python password hashing is. What is Password Hashing? Python Password hashing is a form of advanced encryption which can be used to store passwords online safely. In today’s world of everything being online, user passwords are one of the most easily attacked sensitive information on the internet. The password string is converted to a string of random characters using different hashing algorithms, which have been used in my program. The user is instructed to input the password string, then select the appropriate hashing algorithm ... Read More

What is a Dictionary in Python? A dictionary is Python’s own indigenous representation of a data structure, and can be considered similar to maps in C++. It is a dynamic data structure which stores key-value pairs dynamically, and is mutable. It can be better understood as an associative array, where each element is associated with its key value. Can one key hold more than one value? Although dictionaries in Python store values as key-value pairs, it is possible to store more than one value corresponding to the same key in a dictionary. This is performed by setting containers like ... Read More

What is an Interpreter? The Python interpreter works as a computer converter that converts high-level language to low-level machine language, which is essential for the computer to understand the code written by a programmer. Python codes are executed by an interpreter called CPython, which is written in C language and executes instructions in a block of code one line after another. Steps used Lexing Parsing Creation of byte code Conversion to machine-executable code Returning output Let’s dive into the steps in detail. Step 1: Lexing The first step of analyzing a code block in ... Read More
