R Language Tutorial for Mainframe Programmers

-

Why R? It's free, open source, powerful and highly extensible. "You have a lot of prepackaged stuff that's already available, so you're standing on the shoulders of giants," Google's chief economist told The New York Times back in 2009.

Details of R Language

Because it's a programmable environment that uses command-line scripting, you can store a series of complex data-analysis steps in R. That lets you re-use your analysis work on similar data more easily than if you were using a point-and-click interface, notes Hadley Wickham, author of several popular R packages and chief scientist with RStudio.

That also makes it easier for others to validate research results and check your work for errors -- an issue that cropped up in the news recently after an Excel coding error was among several flaws found in an influential economics analysis report known as Reinhart/Rogoff.

Why not R

Well, R can appear daunting at first. That's often because R syntax is different from that of many other languages, not necessarily because it's any more difficult than others.

How R is different from Excel

  • The R Language is different from Excel. In R you can use complex problems. Multiple sources of data you can do analyze in R Language.
  • In Excel, the capability of handling data sources is limited.
  • Connectivity to modern visualization tools like Tableau is cumbersome in Excel.

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. I want to share some key differences between Python Dictionary and List . Python Dictionary Vs List Top Differences. 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 p

You can find how card numbers masked with junk characters in the pdf provided. Here is the  Visa Security Tokenization Pdf. Two Top Tokenization Servers. Vault based server Vault-less server What is Tokenization? 1. Vault based server It stores a  Card number (PAN) and a Token  in a Table of the Teradata database as Key and value pair. Due to the growing volume of transactions, the handling of the database became a big challenge for acquirers.  For each transaction, the vault server stores a record.
