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 and the value in a loop, enumerate is a more Pyth

Python Dictionary Vs List With Examples

Dictionary and List we use interchangeably in Python to store values. For beginners, both look the same. In reality, they both differ. Here are the differences. Dictionary Vs Lists Values in lists are accessed by means of integers called indices, which indicate where in the list a given value is found. Dictionaries access values by means of integers, strings, or other Python objects called keys , which indicate where in the dictionary a given value is found.  In other words, both lists and dictionaries provide indexed access to arbitrary values, but the set of items that can be used as dictionary indices is much larger than, and contains, the set of items that can be used as list indices.   Also, the mechanism that dictionaries use to provide indexed access is quite different from that used by lists. Both lists and dictionaries can store objects of any type. Values stored in a list are implicitly ordered by their positions in the list because the indices that access these values are c
