Python is a very flexible language. In addition to the language’s flexibility, it also has several functions and libraries that can be employed to accomplish a task in one or two lines of code that would otherwise take several lines. It is because there are several ways to accomplish a…
Whilst I have striven to educate myself these past six decades, I have realised that there is a lot I don’t know. In addition, education has moved on over the years and is continuously endeavouring to improve their teaching methods.
Statistics is integrally linked to data science, so I decided…
The solution for a common interview question.
Because I have been studying Python for a year and a half now, I have decided to endeavour to solve coding interview questions, just in case I ever go on a coding interview. Of course, I could go on the numerous websites that give the answers to these coding questions…
Python program to check whether a string is a palindrome or not.
A palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backwards as forwards. An example of a palindrome is the word madam or the phrase nurses run. Because a palindrome involves a precise sequence, it would be good to create an algorithm to solve this problem computationally.
The…
Algorithm to print a list in reverse.
Python uses lists, which are built-in data types, to store data in a single variable. It is important to know how to use lists if one hopes to progress in the field of programming in Python.
A common interview question when one goes to a coding interview is to print…
A guide on how to print the Fibonacci series using Python.
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two that precede it. Starting at 0 and 1, the sequence looks like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so on forever. The Fibonacci sequence can be…
A guide on how to print a list of prime numbers using Python.
As I am continuously striving to expand my knowledge of programming in Python, I have decided to try my hand at creating algorithms. As a result, I have found some questions that one can be asked at a coding interview. One such question is to print out the prime numbers…
The last course I took with Udacity, Data Structures and Algorithms, and I completed it satisfactorily. That course was a prerequisite to Udacity’s course, Intro to Algorithms. For personal reasons, I decided to take a break from creating course content myself, so thought it would be a good idea to…
A tutorial on how to sort an unsorted list using Python.
In my most recent post, I discussed the algorithm required to partition an unsorted list. Once I posted that story, I decided that it would be a good idea to write a story on how to use Python to sort an unsorted list.
Python has written into its programming language…
Pseudocode to partition an unsorted list using Python.
Data structures and algorithms form the basis of computer programming, and it is for that reason that I have been studying data structures and algorithms with Udacity. One quiz question centered around partitioning an unsorted list and I decided to compose a blog post to discuss the algorithm I came…
