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...

How to Fix a Byte-like Object is Required in Python

Here is a way to fix TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str.' The error occurs while writing a file due to incorrect usage of the file mode. Below, you'll see how to solve this error.

Byte-like Object


Python Open File in Write Mode


Here's a way to open files in write mode. The "wb" mode's purpose is to write input to a file. If the file does not exist, it creates one.  


After executing it, it throws an error highlighted in red. The file mode causes to error. Below, you'll see how to fix it and the details.

a=open("file1.txt", 'wb')

b=a.write('I am writing data to a file!')

print(b)



Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "main.py", line 2, in <module>

  b=a.write('I am writing data to a file!')

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'


** Process exited - Return Code: 1 **

Press Enter to exit terminal



How to Fix the Error


You can write data to a file in two ways a string or bytes. The mode you have chosen here is "wb." Which means it allows only binary data. You have attempted to write string data. This causes the error.



Way 1:


Chnage the file mode to "W." Then it will run without the error.


a=open("file1.txt", mode="w" )

a.write("I am writing data to a file!")

a=open("file1.txt", mode="r" )

c=a.read()

print(c)


I am writing data to a file!


** Process exited - Return Code: 0 **

Press Enter to exit terminal



Way 2:


Keep the same file mode. And supply binary input. 


a=open("file1.txt", mode="wb" )

a.write(b'I am writing data to a file!')

a=open("file1.txt", mode="r" )

c=a.read()

print(c)


I am writing data to a file!


** Process exited - Return Code: 0 **

Press Enter to exit terminal


The outline is you can fix the error [bytes-like object is required] using the above two methods in Python.
