15 Python Tips : How to Write Code Effectively

-
Image
 Here are some Python tips to keep in mind that will help you write clean, efficient, and bug-free code.     Python Tips for Effective Coding 1. Code Readability and PEP 8  Always aim for clean and readable code by following PEP 8 guidelines.  Use meaningful variable names, avoid excessively long lines (stick to 79 characters), and organize imports properly. 2. Use List Comprehensions List comprehensions are concise and often faster than regular for-loops. Example: squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)] instead of creating an empty list and appending each square value. 3. Take Advantage of Python’s Built-in Libraries  Libraries like itertools, collections, math, and datetime provide powerful functions and data structures that can simplify your code.   For example, collections.Counter can quickly count elements in a list, and itertools.chain can flatten nested lists. 4. Use enumerate Instead of Range     When you need both the index and the value in a loop, enumerate is a more Pyth

Microsoft HDInsight for Hadoop Cluster

-
HDInsight is Microsoft's implementation of a Big Data solution with Apache Hadoop at its core. HDInsight is 100 percent compatible with Apache Hadoop and is built on open source components in conjunction with Hortonworks, a company focused toward getting Hadoop adopted on the Windows platform.

HDINSIGHT


HDInsight Microsoft


Initiate


Basically, Microsoft has taken the open source Hadoop project, added the functionalities needed to make it compatible with Windows (because Hadoop is based on Linux), and submitted the project back to the community. 


All of the components are retested in typical scenarios to ensure that they work together correctly and that there are no versioning or compatibility issues.


Features


Microsoft's Hadoop-based distribution brings the robustness, manageability, and simplicity of Windows to the Hadoop environment. 


The focus is on hardening security through integration with Active Directory, thus making it enterprise ready, simplifying manageability through integration with System Center 2012, and dramatically reducing the time required to set up and deploy via simplified packaging and configuration.


Security


These improvements will enable IT to apply consistent security policies across Hadoop clusters and manage them from a single pane of glass on System Center 2012. Further, Microsoft SQL Server and its powerful BI suite can be leveraged to apply analytics and generate interactive business intelligence reports, all under the same roof. 


Easy Deployment


For the Hadoop-based service on Windows Azure, Microsoft has further lowered the barrier to deployment by enabling the seamless setup and configuration of Hadoop clusters through an easy-to-use, web-based portal and offering Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).


Microsoft is currently the only company offering scalable Big Data solutions in the cloud and for on-premises use. These solutions are all built on a common Microsoft Data Platform with familiar and powerful BI tools.


HDInsight is available in two flavors



1. Windows Azure HDInsight Service



This is a service available to Windows Azure subscribers that uses Windows Azure clusters and integrates with Windows Azure storage. 


An Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver is available to connect the output from HDInsight queries to data analysis tools.


2. Windows Azure HDInsight Emulator



This is a single-node, single-box product that you can install on Windows Server 2012, or in your Hyper-V virtual machines.

 
The purpose of the emulator is to provide a development environment for use in testing and evaluating your solution before deploying it to the cloud. 


You save money by not paying for Azure hosting until after your solution is developed and tested and ready to run. The emulator is available for free and will continue to be a single-node offering.

Python Logic from datetime import datetime odds = [ 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 11 , 13 , 15 , 17 , 19 , 21 , 23 , 25 , 27 , 29 , 31 , 33 , 35 , 37 , 39 , 41 , 43 , 45 , 47 , 49 , 51 , 53 , 55 , 57 , 59 ] right_this_minute = datetime.today().minute if right_this_minute in odds: print ( "This minute seems a little odd." ) else : print ( "Not an odd minute." ) ImportError I have imported my datetime.py from Linux. It gives an error

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-

SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than or

What is placeholder in Python? The purpose of it is to mask the variable that you don't want to use in a function. In python, y ou can call the underscore ( _ ) operator placeholder. Below, you'll find how to use single and double placeholders in a function. What is placeholder in python The purpose of placeholder in Python is to mask variables that you don't want to use in a function. So that your code will be readable. Moreover, in future, if you want to use those variables you can replace the placeholders with the names you want. In This Page You'll know in three steps how to use placeholder correctly. Creating a function Logic to use single placeholder Logic to use two placeholders 1. Creating a function. def function_that_returns_multiple_values(x):        return x*2, x*3, x+1        for i in range(0,5):             square, cube, added_one = function_that_returns_multiple_values(i)             print(square, cube) Here, in print, it returns two variables.
