How to Create a Symmetric Array in Python

Image
 Here's a Python program that says to write a Symmetric array transformation. A top interview question. Symmetric Array Transformation Problem: Write a Python function that transforms a given array into a symmetric array by mirroring it around its center. For example: Input: [1, 2, 3] Output: [1, 2, 3, 2, 1] Hints: Use slicing for the reverse part. Concatenate the original array with its mirrored part. Example def symmetric_array(arr):     """     Transforms the input array into a symmetric array by mirroring it around its center.     Parameters:     arr (list): The input array.     Returns:     list: The symmetric array.     """     # Mirror the array by concatenating the original with its reverse (excluding the last element to avoid duplication)     return arr + arr[-2::-1] # Example usage input_array = [1, 2, 3] symmetric_result = symmetric_array(input_array) print("Input Array:", input_arr...

6 Exclusive Differences Between Structured and Unstructured data

Here's a basic interview question for Big data engineers. Why it's basic means many Bachelor degrees now offering courses on Big data, as a beginner, understanding of data is a little tricky. So interviewers stress this point.

Don't worry, I made it simplified. So you get a clear concept. I share here a total of six differences between these. In today's world, we have a lot of data. That data is the unstructured format.

Structured Vs Unstructured data - 6 Top Differences
 

Structured Data

  1. The major data format is text, which can be string or numeric. The date is also supported.
  2. The data model is fixed before inserting the data.
  3. Data is stored in the form of a table, making it easy to search.
  4. Not easy to scale.
  5. Version is maintained as a column in the table.
  6. Transaction management and concurrency are easy to support.

Unstructured data

  • The data format can be anything from text to images, audio to videos.
  • The data model cannot be fixed since the nature of the data can change. Consider a tweet message that could be text followed by images and audio.
  • Data is not stored in the form of a table.
  • Very easy to scale.
  • Versioning is at an entire level.
  • Transaction management and concurrency are difficult to support.
