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

What is Tableau Software

-
Stanford University Computer Science department is the origin of Tableau. The initiation started in the Department of Defense, a sponsored research project. Chris Stolte, a Ph.D. candidate, was researching visualization techniques for exploring relational databases and data cubes.

Tableau Invention

Stolte's Ph.D. advisor, Professor Pat Hanrahan, a founding member of Pixar and chief architect for Pixar's RenderMan, was a worldwide expert in the science of computer graphics.

Chris, Pat, and a team of Stanford Ph. D.s realized that computer graphics could deliver huge gains in people's ability to understand databases.


Tableau


Before Tableau

Their invention VizQL™ brought together these two computer science disciplines for the first time.
VizQL lets people analyze data just by building drag-and-drop pictures of what they want to see.
Tableau 8
 
While Tableau 8 improves on the previous seven major releases of the software, the core approach to visual design remains the same: connect to the desired data source, and drag various data fields to desired parts of the Tableau screen.
 
The result is a basic visualization that can then be enhanced and modified by dragging additional data fields to different destinations in the workspace.
 
Beyond this basic visualization approach, Tableau's Show Me feature allows quick choices of predefined visualizations by just selecting relevant data fields and clicking a thumbnail.

Tableau Basics 

When you first start Tableau, you are presented with the Start Page. The largest portion of the Start Page is reserved for thumbnails of recent workbooks you have used. 

Simply click on any one of these to open the workbook (like Microsoft Excel, Tableau's format for storing data on your disk drive is in a workbook, with a .TWB or .TWBX file extension).

You may also open sample workbooks included with Tableau 8 by clicking the desired thumbnail at the bottom of the Start Page.

If you want to create a new workbook, you must first connect to a data source (types of data sources Tableau works with include industry-standard databases such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, text files, and so forth). 

Unlike spreadsheet or word processing programs, Tableau must connect to some existing data before you can create a visualization.

Certain data sources, known as saved data sources, will appear on the left side of the Start Page. These "pointers" to an existing data source can be selected by simply clicking them. If you want to connect to a different data source, click the Connect to Data tab (the tab with the "barrel" icon) in the upper right, or click Connect to Data in the upper left under the Data section. 

Once you've connected to a data source, a new workspace will appear where you can drag and drop desired data fields.

Here's a quick resolution for import datetime Python error . The reason is your .py python script name and datetime  are the same. I'll show you how this error happens and its resolution.   Here's the Resolution for ImportError I've created a script called 'datetime.py.' to check whether the minute value is 'odd' or not. During the import of my python script, I got the import error cannot import name datetime. My Script: datetime.py My script's intention is to find whether the minute value is odd or not. 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.
