Python Set Operations Explained: From Theory to Real-Time Applications

-
Image
A  set  in Python is an unordered collection of unique elements. It is useful when storing distinct values and performing operations like union, intersection, or difference. Real-Time Example: Removing Duplicate Customer Emails in a Marketing Campaign Imagine you are working on an email marketing campaign for your company. You have a list of customer emails, but some are duplicated. Using a set , you can remove duplicates efficiently before sending emails. Code Example: # List of customer emails (some duplicates) customer_emails = [ "alice@example.com" , "bob@example.com" , "charlie@example.com" , "alice@example.com" , "david@example.com" , "bob@example.com" ] # Convert list to a set to remove duplicates unique_emails = set (customer_emails) # Convert back to a list (if needed) unique_email_list = list (unique_emails) # Print the unique emails print ( "Unique customer emails:" , unique_email_list) Ou...

Three Top RPA tools functional differences

-
Robotic process automation is a grown-up area. Many IT developers across the board started up-skill in this popular area. This post is useful for Software developers who are interested in RPA (Robotic Process Automation).

In my previous post, I have shared twelve RPA tools. Out of those, three tools are the most popular. Those are Automation Anywhere, BluePrism, and Uipath. This post covers differences in these tools.

Blue Prism

Blue Prism has taken a simple concept, replicating user activity on the desktop, and made it enterprise strength.


The technology is scalable, secure, resilient, and flexible. It is has a comprehensive methodology, operational framework, and provided as packaged software.


The technology is developed and deployed within a corridor of IT governance. It has sophisticated error handling and process modeling capabilities to ensure it can perform at scale within demanding, highly sophisticated operating environments.


The combination of SOA/BPMS and Blue Prism platform provides almost total coverage of process automation opportunities.


'Object Studio' - where you can develop a script to automate the process. 'Process studio' - where you can test the objects that already developed in the Object studio.


The Control Room supervises the process (run and execution). Your data stores in the SQL Server database.

Automation Anywhere

The RPA tool from automation anywhere is a grown-up model, and you can find a lot of examples and material on this. The architecture comprises of Client, Bots, and Control Room. Automation Anywhere is software designed to automate virtually any computer-based process with ease. 


No programming is required. This interface makes it possible for anyone in an organization to quickly and reliably automate tasks of any complexity, including application integration, IT processes, data extraction, and migration.

  2. Uipath Basics for Beginners
  3. Free Blue Prism Downloads

It is available in Standard, Premier, Small Business, and Enterprise editions. The tool has capabilities include Task to EXE, Job scheduler, Drag-and-drop task editor, Workflow, and process mapping tools, Built-in Windows, web, and task recorders, Single-click web data extraction capabilities. 


The data storage happens in SQL express.


Below are the components present in Automation anywhere:
  1. IIS
  2. Framework Setup(AA)
  3. SQL Express/SQL 2014
  4. Control room setup
  5. Client installation


UiPath

Uipath comprises of three parts - Uipath studio, Uipath Robots, and UiPath Orchestrator, 

UiPath Studio

UiPath Studio is a highly intuitive visual processing modeling tool that helps you to design the process you intend to automate without any effort. The platform offers numerous best practices templates enabling users to have complete control over the automation.

UiPath Robots

UiPath Robots has front office and back office bots that execute the processes defined by you. While the front office robot shares the interface layer with the human agent who holds control over the utilization, the back office robot works in batch mode, without any intervention.

UiPath Orchestrator

UiPath Orchestrator allows you to deploy, start, stop, and schedule processes using a console and track the activities of robots. It offers a single interface to manage multiple robots that are running in your system.

You can store data in the SQL Server/Oracle.

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-
Image
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...

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)      ...
