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...

The tail in Linux is handy command. You can check the last lines of a file in Linux/Unix operating systems. You can use it to display last lines from single file, display last lines from multiple files, display the last entries of log files. Tail Command in Linux During production support the usage of Tail command is helpful since you can check latest logs quickly. Here are the top Tail command examples. #1 Display last lines in a file (Tail file Linux) Here's the tail command that shows last three lines of a file. cat sample.txt | tail -3 It displays last 3 lines of a file. The same command you can use as tail -3 sample.txt #2 Display last lines of multiple files There are three files. sample2.txt, sample3.txt, sample4.txt. The command displays the last 3 lines from all the three files. tail -3 sample[2-4].txt #3 Tail -f option (Tail f Linux) The –f option is to check status of long-running process that is redirecting output to a file. For example, if you invoke the below command...
