15 Python Tips : How to Write Code Effectively

Image
 Here are some Python tips to keep in mind that will help you write clean, efficient, and bug-free code.     Python Tips for Effective Coding 1. Code Readability and PEP 8  Always aim for clean and readable code by following PEP 8 guidelines.  Use meaningful variable names, avoid excessively long lines (stick to 79 characters), and organize imports properly. 2. Use List Comprehensions List comprehensions are concise and often faster than regular for-loops. Example: squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)] instead of creating an empty list and appending each square value. 3. Take Advantage of Python’s Built-in Libraries  Libraries like itertools, collections, math, and datetime provide powerful functions and data structures that can simplify your code.   For example, collections.Counter can quickly count elements in a list, and itertools.chain can flatten nested lists. 4. Use enumerate Instead of Range     When you need both the index ...

2 Multiline Commenting Ideas in Python

Here are two ways you can comment out multiple lines in python. Python Multiline Comments These are two popular methods Viz Backslash and Triple quote methods. 1. Backslash method >>> s = "This is a test of the emergency broadcast system" \ … " and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text" \ … " that is more than 80 characters on a single line" >>> print(s) This is a test of the emergency broadcast system and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text that is more than 80 characters on a single line 2. Triple quote method >>> s1 = """ This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. … and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text … that is more than 80 characters on a single line … """ >>> print(s1) This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text that is more than 80 characters on a single l...

How to Explain String Immutability in Python Correctly

Image
Here is an answer to explain the immutability of Strings in Python. It means that you can't modify the string. Due to this, you can use strings securely in many places of your project. How to check string immutability Here is an example. In the python shell, assign a value of your choice to a string. Here my choice is ABCD, and I have assigned it to myString. I have tried to replace A with Z. But, it gave an error due to the immutability of strings. >>> myString = 'ABCD' >>>myString [0] = 'Z' What is learning here The strings immutability is an interview question. In interviews, you can say that strings are immutable, and you can't replace its data. Benefits of strings immutability It saves a lot of time since the data in strings are immutable. It results in high performance. String objects you can reuse as no one can modify its value. Strings are elemental. So no activity can change its value ( these are more like numbers).
