In file system management, it's sometimes necessary to update the modification or access time of files which is commonly referred as "touching" files. This is useful in automation scripts, build systems or cache invalidation mechanisms. Python offers powerful modules such as os and pathlib to touch all files within a ... Read More

A distinct sublist is a continuous portion of a list in which all the elements are different from each other. The goal is to find the maximum length of such a sublist within a given list of elements. In Python, a list is an ordered and mutable data structure ... Read More

A Consecutive sequence is a series of numbers where each number follows the previous one without any missing the order like 1, 2, 3, 4. It is a set of numbers where each number appears in increasing order by 1, even if not adjacent. We can find the Consecutive sequences ... Read More

In Python, a string is immutable data structure in which sequence of characters are enclosed in double("") or single quotes(''). In some cases, we need to find the length of the longest subsequence of characters that can be rearranged to form a palindrome. This type of subsequence is referred to ... Read More

In Python, a list is a ordered and mutable data structure where elements are enclosed in square braces []. In some scenarios, we may need to count how many elements to the right of each element in the list are smaller than it. Using Binary Search with bisect_left() Function The ... Read More

In Python, datastructures such as string, list etc., may contain duplicates of a value. In few scenarios, we may need to find which element appears only once while all others elements appear multiple times. Let's go through different methods to find which element occurs exactly once in Python. Using Bitwise ... Read More

The longest equivalent sublist after K increments is known as the longest contiguous portion of a list where we can make all the elements equal by performing at most K increment operations. Suppose we have a list of numbers called nums and k. Now, consider an operation where we can ... Read More

Transferring files from one server to another is a most common task in system administration, DevOps and development workflows. The tools such as scp and rsync are used for the file transfer. Python provides different methods and tools to transfer the files from one server to another using a third ... Read More

In Python, a string is one of the data structures that is a sequence of characters enclosed within single quotes '' or double quotes "". It is immutable, i.e., once a string is created, it cannot be changed. When we want to check if both halves of the string have ... Read More

In this tutorial, we are going to build a basic calculator in Python. As we all know that a calculator will give six options to the user from which they select one option and we will perform the respective operation. Following are the arithmetic operations that we can perform using ... Read More
