Python: Built-in Functions vs. For & If Loops – 5 Programs Explained

Image
Python’s built-in functions make coding fast and efficient. But understanding how they work under the hood is crucial to mastering Python. This post shows five Python tasks, each implemented in two ways: Using built-in functions Using for loops and if statements ✅ 1. Sum of a List ✅ Using Built-in Function: numbers = [ 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 ] total = sum (numbers) print ( "Sum:" , total) 🔁 Using For Loop: numbers = [ 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 ] total = 0 for num in numbers: total += num print ( "Sum:" , total) ✅ 2. Find Maximum Value ✅ Using Built-in Function: values = [ 3 , 18 , 7 , 24 , 11 ] maximum = max (values) print ( "Max:" , maximum) 🔁 Using For and If: values = [ 3 , 18 , 7 , 24 , 11 ] maximum = values[ 0 ] for val in values: if val > maximum: maximum = val print ( "Max:" , maximum) ✅ 3. Count Vowels in a String ✅ Using Built-ins: text = "hello world" vowel_count = sum ( 1 for ch in text if ch i...

These Tips Helpful to Remove Python List and Dictionary Duplicates

In this post, I have shared top ideas to remove duplicates from the list. Those are with Append and Dictionary. 1. How to Remove Duplicates with Append # Here is a list with duplicates list_with_duplicates = [1,2,3,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,7,8,9] It is simple if you follow the first-approach - brute force approach: list_without_duplicates = [] for pd in list_with_duplicates:   if pd not in list_without_duplicates:       list_without_duplicates.append(pd) print(list_without_duplicates) Result: [1, 2, 3, 12, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] This method has performance issues when the list is bigger in size.  Real-time. 2. How to Remove Duplicates with Dictionary # Here is you can convert a list to a dictionary dict_without_duplicates = dict(zip(list_with_duplicates, list_with_duplicates)) print(dictionary_without_duplicates) Result: {1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 12: 12, 4: 4, 5: 5, 6: 6, 7: 7, 8: 8, 9: 9} Real-time. Once again, this works and has the advantage of taking less space than duplic...
