The JSON (Java Script Object Notation) is light weight, well accepted data interchange format. Using JSON formatting techniques in Python, we can convert JSON strings to Python objects, and also convert Python Objects to JSON strings.To use these functionalities, we need to use the json module of Python. The json module comes with the Python standard library. So at first we have to import it first.import jsonConverting Python objects to JSON StringIn the json module, there are some methods like dump(), and dumps() to convert Python objects to JSON strings. The dump() method takes two arguments, the first one is ... Read More

Using Python, we can easily convert data into different types. There are different functions for Type Conversion. We can convert string type objects to numeric values, perform conversion between different container types etc. In this section we will see how the conversions can be done using Python. Converting String to Numeric Types To convert from String type objects to Numeric Objects, there are different methods like int(), float() etc. Using the int() method we can convert any number as string to integer value (base 10). It takes the string type argument, default base is 10, We can also specify the ... Read More

In this section we will see how two sorted lists can be merged using the heapq module in Python. As an example, if list1 = [10, 20, 30, 40] and list2 = [100, 200, 300, 400, 500], then after merging it will return list3 = [10, 20, 30, 40, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500]To perform this task, we will use the heapq module. This module comes with Python as Standard Library Module. So we need to import it before using it.import heapqThe heapq module has some properties. These are like below −Method heapq.heapify(iterable)It is used to convert an iterable dataset ... Read More

Our task is to create a child process and display process id of both parent and child process using fork() function in Python.When we use fork(), it creates a copy of itself, it is a very important aspect of LINUX, UNIX. fork() is mainly applicable for multithreading environment that means the execution of the thread is duplicated created a child thread from a parent thread. When there is an error, the method will return a negative value and for the child process, it returns 0, Otherwise, it returns positive value that means we are in the parent process.The fork() module ...
