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...

SAP HANA: Top Data Processing Interview Questions

1. How parallel processing is achieved in SAP HANA? The phrase "divide and conquer" (derived from the Latin saying divide et impera) typically is used when a large problem is divided into a number of smaller, easier-to-solve problems. Regarding performance, processing huge amounts of data is a problem that can be solved by splitting the data into smaller chunks of data, which can be processed in parallel. 2.How data portioning will happen in SAP HANA? Although servers that are available today can hold terabytes of data in memory and provide up to eight processors per server with up to 10 cores per processor, the amount of data that is stored in an in-memory database or the computing power that is needed to process such quantities of data might exceed the capacity of a single server. To accommodate the memory and computing power requirements that go beyond the limits of a single server, data can be divided into subsets and placed across a cluster of servers, which forms a d...
