Best Practices for Handling Duplicate Elements in Python Lists

-
Image
Here are three awesome ways that you can use to remove duplicates in a list. These are helpful in resolving your data analytics solutions.  01. Using a Set Convert the list into a set , which automatically removes duplicates due to its unique element nature, and then convert the set back to a list. Solution: original_list = [2, 4, 6, 2, 8, 6, 10] unique_list = list(set(original_list)) 02. Using a Loop Iterate through the original list and append elements to a new list only if they haven't been added before. Solution: original_list = [2, 4, 6, 2, 8, 6, 10] unique_list = [] for item in original_list:     if item not in unique_list:         unique_list.append(item) 03. Using List Comprehension Create a new list using a list comprehension that includes only the elements not already present in the new list. Solution: original_list = [2, 4, 6, 2, 8, 6, 10] unique_list = [] [unique_list.append(item) for item in original_list if item not in unique_list] All three methods will result in uni

Accenture Sees Demand in Big Data Analytics

-
Accenture Plc., which has 40% of its global big data analytics team based in India, plans to tap the country’s high-end analytics market in anticipation of an increase in demand driven by the government’s Digital India programme. 

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government’s Digital India initiative is aimed at delivering government services electronically in urban and rural areas, cutting out human intervention and closing the gap between digital haves and have-nots. 

It will act as an umbrella plan to integrate and synchronize all digital initiatives including the national broadband plan and the domestic manufacturing policy.


“Big data analytics will play a major role in the whole digital disruption that is happening in India today,” said Arnab Chakraborty, managing director for advanced analytics at Accenture Digital. 

“Mobility has leapfrogged in India and the whole ‘Make in India initiative’ has caught up strongly in the last six to eight months with the new leadership coming in.” Globally, Accenture is collaborating with many state governments and agencies in the areas of healthcare, education, electricity discussions around smart cities and combating crime. 

In the UK, for instance, Accenture is looking at identifying gang behaviour. In Singapore, it is studying crowd behaviour. In India, said Chakraborty, Accenture is working with a state government to improve childcare and safety, with state electricity boards on smart grids as well as with police forces in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to provide analytics to predict crime.


“We are trying to do facial recognition to understand the mood of the crowd... in the policing space in India, we are leveraging a lot of these things that we are doing in other countries,” said Michael Svilar, managing director and global lead for advanced analytics at Accenture Digital. 

He added that the company does “not want to get to the point where we are arresting people before they commit a crime, but the idea of using analytics is to predict likely behaviour that is behind crime that occurs”. 

According to Chakraborty, a lot of demand for high-end analytics is also coming from the telecom sector, which is looking at new revenue streams using analytics by becoming the provider of Internet of Things (IoT) services to other sectors, and resources including mining, oil and gas, utilities, which recently adopted analytics, but are now deploying sensors to harness the power of artificial intelligence.

Explained Ideal Structure of Python Class

-
Image
When you are designing a class, you need to ensure that the classification of its critical parts is outlined at the beginning. The clearer the initial design, the more performant and scalable the class is. Some of the components in the order in which they should be defined in the class are mentioned as follows. Ideal structure of a class Class variables Constants or default variables are usually defined at the top of the class. For someone who is reading the code, it comes as an easy-to-view consolidated list, and for the interpreter it ensures that all such variables are processed before diving into the main logic of the class, including any other Instance method or constructor. The __init__ method The __init__ method provides information about inputs needed and how to instantiate the class. It is also the constructor of the class, which the very first method called while initializing the class . Special Python methods These methods change the functionality of the class or provide add

6 Python file Methods Real Usage

Files always have data in them. For different purposes, you need methods to deal with them. These six file methods of use in this case. Related:  5 top file modes in python. Python file methods Below are the top six file methods in python: Tell() Seek() Flush() Fileno() truncate() isatty() 1. tell() The usage of tell method is it  returns the cursor-position of the file-pointer from the beginning of the file. It tells the current cursor position. The position starts from zero, which is same as of an index. Syntax:  fileobject.tell() 2. seek() The usage of seek  method is cursor position, from one position to the specified position from the beginning of the file, it moves. Here, the cursor will be sought to a particular location. Syntax:  fileobject.seek(position) 3. flush() The usage of flush  method is clean out the internal buffer. Before writing the text in the file, it is best practice to clear out that the internal buffer can be cleared. Syntax:  fileobject.flush() 4. fileno() The

How to Decode TLV Quickly

TLV format contains three parts Tag, Length, and value. In a credit card or financial transactions, the TLV protocol supports this format. Below, you will find the ideas to decode TLV data quickly.  According to IBM , the tag tells what type of data it is. The length field denotes the length of the value. The value-field denotes the actual value. Structure of TLV. TLV comprises three field values. Tag Length Value How to Decode TLV The EMV labs developed tags which in turn part of EMV protocol. Each tag has an unique meaning. And the Tag and Length together takes 1 to 4 bytes of memory. 1. The Best example for TLV. Below is the way to decode the EMV tag. The first part of the TLV format is TAG. The second part is LENGTH, and finally the VALUE. Syntax of EMV tag: [Tag][Value Length][Value] (ex. " 9F40 05 F000F0A001 ") where,  Tag Name =  9F40 Value Length (in bytes) =  05  Value (Hex representation of bytes. Example, "F0" – 1-byte) =  F000F0A001 Finally, what is 9F40
