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...

Python How to Create Function

In Python, you can define and call the function. Once done, you can call it later from the other program. I have shared the structure of it. And, I have added the three rules of it; useful for interviews. Structure of Function Structure of Function Rules to Create a Function A function definition is executable. The body will have the code to perform the task you wish. You can assign default parameter values. 1. Key Elements. You will find here three key elements of the Python function. Here you can read the parameter vs argument differences . Name of a function. It can be any valid identifier. It should be meaningful, and it should convey the work it will do. Parameter. These should be separated with command and should be in the parentheses following the name of the function. The parameters are input to function. It can have any parameters. Body of the function. The function body can contain code that implements the task to be performed by it. 2. Sample Function. Python Example. def ...
