This numbers guessing game is a simple game that allows you to practice many of the fundamentals of the Python language. It is a great Python project for beginners and in this article you will find not only the source…
When using Python to work with data, it is not uncommon to have the data separated in multiple sources. So a very common initial task is to load each source of data and then combine them using some code like…
The enumerate() function takes two arguments: an iterable, and an optional argument start, and returns an enumerate object with an index attached to each item of the iterable. The start argument sets the number to start the count. Code Example…
The zip() function is particularly useful for those using python to deal with data exploration. It takes any number of iterators as arguments and returns a zip object, pairing the items in each iterator together. Code Example As you can…
Currying is a technique in mathematics and computer science named after the mathematician Haskell Curry. In simple terms, you create new functions from a function that takes multiple arguments, each derived function will then take only a single argument. This…
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. Dynamic Typed languages like Python and JavaScript have an interesting characteristic of letting an object respond to a call…
