In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to use dictionary comprehensions in Python. If you are already familiar with list comprehension, then it won't take much time to learn dictionary comprehensions.We need the key: value pairs to create a dictionary. How to get these key-value pairs using dictionary comprehension? See the general statement of dictionary comprehension.{key: value for ___ in iterable}We need to fill in the above statement to complete a dictionary comprehension. There are many ways to fill it. Let's see some of the most common ways.Let's see how to generate numbers as keys and their squares ... Read More

In this tutorial, we are going to write a program that prints the name of the Python script file. We can find the script name using the sys module.The sys module will store all the command line arguments of python command in the sys.argv list. The first element in the list is the script name. We can extract it from that list. Python makes it easy.Let's see the steps involved in the program.Import the sys module.Now, print the first element of the sys.argv list.That's it. You got the script name.ExampleLet's see it practically. Live Demo# importing the sys module import sys ... Read More

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. It is used in website development, machine learning, and creative software technology. Guido Van Rossam created Python in the Netherlands in 1989. Python became public in 1991. New programmers are typically advised to learn Python. Ruby is an interpreted, open-source, object-oriented language. It was developed by Yukihiro Matsumoto in the year 1995. Ruby is an object-oriented language, hence everything is an object. OOP gives developer projects a modular structure. Read through this article to find out more about Python and Ruby and how they are different from each other. What is ... Read More

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about the try and except of Python. Python has a concept called error and exception handling.The keywords try and except are used in the error and exception handling.Basically, we will find two types of errors in Python. They are −Syntax errors - Python gives these types of error when it doesn't understand a line of code in the program.Exception errors - Errors which are detected during the runtime of the program. Ex:- ZeroDivisionError, ValueError, etc.., We can't stop syntax errors. But, we can intimate if the program runs into an exception error ... Read More

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about Unit Testing using the unittest built-in module. Testing plays a major role in software development. You will know the issues before going to the production itself.We'll learn the basics of testing in Python using the built-in module called unittest. Let's jump into the tutorial.What is Unit Testing?If you take the login system as an example. Each field in the login form is a unit/component. And testing those units/components functionality is known as Unit Testing.ExampleLet's see the basic structure of unittest framework. Live Demo# importing unittest module import unittest # unittest will test ...

List are the type of containers that stores data in sequential manner and allocate noncontiguous memory to the elements. In C++, lists are considered as doubly linked list where insertion and deletion of elements can be done from both the ends and therefore, it is also possible to traverse the list from both the end. For using singly linked list we use the forward list available in C++ STL.Advantage of using List over vector is thatList are faster in insertion and deletion of elements available in list container if the iterator is positioned to the correct element.Disadvantage of using List ...

In C++ STL, stack is used as container which is implemented as LIFO structure. LIFO means Last In First Out. Stack can view as a pile of books in which the books are arranged one above the another and the last inserted book will be the first one to be removed that’s why it is called as a LIFO structure.The operations associated with the stack are -Top() - This function returns the reference to the topmost element of a stack.Syntax - name_of_stack.top()Parameters - No ParameterReturn Value - Reference to the topmost element of a stack containerPush() - This function is ...

Functions are like a machine as they perform some functionality and produces a result of some type. Like, machine takes some input, process that input and produce an output similarly, function takes some value, operates on those value and produces the output. Manually a person passes the input to the machine then only the machine will start its functionality in the same manner when the programmer calls the function it will start executing.Functions can be different in name in various languages, but they share two common characteristics like −They contain sequence of instructions that needs to be processedThose instructions are ...

In this article, we will be discussing the raw string literal in C++, its meaning, and examples.There are escape characters in C++ like “” or “\t”. When we try to print the escape characters, it will not display on the output. To show the escape characters on the output screen we use a raw string literal by using R”(String with escape characters)”. After using R in the front of the string the escape character will be displayed on the output.ExampleLet’s understand this with the help of an example Live Demo#include using namespace std; int main(){    string str = "tutorialspoint" ...

In this article, we will be discussing the working, syntax, and examples of modulus functions in C++.What is modulus function C++?modulus function object class in C++, which is defined in header file. modulus function is a binary function object class used to get the result of the modulus operation of the two arguments. This function works the same as the operator ‘% ‘.Syntax of modulus functionTemplate struct modulus : binary_function {    T operator() (const T& a, const T& b) const {return a%b; } };Template parametersThe function accepts the following parameter(s) −T − This is the type of the ...
