Python: Built-in Functions vs. For & If Loops – 5 Programs Explained

Image
Python’s built-in functions make coding fast and efficient. But understanding how they work under the hood is crucial to mastering Python. This post shows five Python tasks, each implemented in two ways: Using built-in functions Using for loops and if statements ✅ 1. Sum of a List ✅ Using Built-in Function: numbers = [ 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 ] total = sum (numbers) print ( "Sum:" , total) 🔁 Using For Loop: numbers = [ 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 ] total = 0 for num in numbers: total += num print ( "Sum:" , total) ✅ 2. Find Maximum Value ✅ Using Built-in Function: values = [ 3 , 18 , 7 , 24 , 11 ] maximum = max (values) print ( "Max:" , maximum) 🔁 Using For and If: values = [ 3 , 18 , 7 , 24 , 11 ] maximum = values[ 0 ] for val in values: if val > maximum: maximum = val print ( "Max:" , maximum) ✅ 3. Count Vowels in a String ✅ Using Built-ins: text = "hello world" vowel_count = sum ( 1 for ch in text if ch i...

Python Set comprehension - How to Use it Read now

In python, Set does not allow duplicates, and  you can't modify an existing set with a comprehension. But using the Set comprehension you can create a new Set.

Set Comprehension 


In addition, the comprehension must result in a valid set.  Likewise Dictionary, a set does not allow entries of the same value.


If you try to add values to the set that are already there, it will replace the old one with the new one.

Explained syntax

Set comprehensions using the {} syntax only exist in Python 3. Before that, you'll have to use the set() function to create and work with sets. You might guess, therefore, that one of the best uses of a set is to eliminate duplicates.

In fact, this is one of the most basic forms of set comprehension. Given a list, we can duplicate it as a list with a simple list comprehension like this:

Details of logic

if we change the list comprehension to a set comprehension, we get the same result, but as a set. That means without duplicates.

list_copy = [x for x in original_list]
 

Sample Set comprehension

my_list_with_dupes = [1,2,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3] 
my_set_without_dupes = {x for x in my_list_with_dupes} 
print(my_set_without_dupes) 

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
