 Here are the five top commonly asked SQL queries in the interviews. These you can expect in Data Analyst, or, Data Engineer interviews. Top SQL Queries for Interviews 01. Joins The commonly asked question pertains to providing two tables, determining the number of rows that will return on various join types, and the resultant. Table1 -------- id ---- 1 1 2 3 Table2 -------- id ---- 1 3 1 NULL Output ------- Inner join --------------- 5 rows will return The result will be: =============== 1  1 1   1 1   1 1    1 3    3 02. Substring and Concat Here, we need to write an SQL query to make the upper case of the first letter and the small case of the remaining letter. Table1 ------ ename ===== raJu venKat kRIshna Solution: ========== SELECT CONCAT(UPPER(SUBSTRING(name, 1, 1)), LOWER(SUBSTRING(name, 2))) AS capitalized_name FROM Table1; 03.

10 Excusive Steps You need for Web Scrapping

-
Here're ten Python technics to clean the scraped data. The scraped Text has unwanted hidden data. So, as part of cleaning it try to remove these ten in your data.

10 Steps for Web scrapping

Data is prime input for text analytics projects. After cleaning, you can feed to Machine/Deep Learning systems.
  1. Removing HTML tags
  2. Tokenization
  3. Removing unnecessary tokens and stop-words
  4. Handling contractions
  5. Correcting spelling errors
  6. Stemming
  7. Lemmatization
  8. Tagging
  9. Chunking
  10. Parsing

10 Technics to Clean Text in Python
10 Technics to Clean Text in Python


1. Removing HTML tags

The unstructured text contains a lot of noise ( data from web pages, blogs, and online repositories.)when you use web/screen scraping. 

The HTML tags, JavaScript, and Iframe tags typically don't add much value to understanding and analyzing text. Our purpose is to remove HTML tags, and other noise.


2. Tokenization

  • Tokens are independent and minimal textual components. And have a definite syntax and semantics. A paragraph of text or a text document has several elements. Those you can further break down into clauses, phrases, and words. 
  • The popular tokenization techniques include sentence and word tokenization. These, you can use to break down a text document (or corpus) into sentences. And each sentence into words. 
  • Thus, tokenization is the process of breaking down or splitting textual data into smaller and more meaningful components called tokens.


Python is popular in Text analytics. Here, you will find various cleaning techniques used in text analytics.

3. Removing Unnecessary Stop Words

Stopwords have little or no significance and are usually removed from a text when processing it. These usually occur most frequently if you aggregate a corpus of text based on the particular tokens and their frequencies. Words like "a," "the," "and," and so on are stopwords.


4. Handling contractions

The best examples of contractions are you'll, it's, etc.

5. Correcting spelling errors

Auto correcting spelling errors. While doing a Google search, you will find it corrects your spelling automatically.

6. Stemming

Here you can reduce words to the root level. The best example is Snowball, this you stem it to root level as Snow and Ball.


7. Lemmatization

Based on the context, bring the words to the root level, and make them meaningful.


8. Tagging

This is the concept of group particular words under a Tag.


9. Chunking

It is of constructing from various words of Verbs, Nouns, Adjectives, etc. Check out here on Data Chunking.


10. Parsing

The data will pass through some syntax rules. The output will then feed to Machine Learning systems. The syntax rules vary from project to project.

Here's a quick resolution for import datetime Python error . The reason is your .py python script name and datetime  are the same.

Explained Ideal Structure of Python Class

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

How to Check Kafka Available Brokers

Here's the command to check the list of brokers present in a Kafka Cluster. You can say the Broker is the heart of the Kafka cluster. In simple terms, it works as a process. The main function is to receive messages from publishers and gives permission to access messages by consumers. How to Check Available Brokers in Kafka Here is the command: linux$  ./zookeeper-shell.sh zookeeper-IPaddress:2181 | "ls /brokers/ids" Just use the above command to get the number of brokers present in your host (Kafka Cluster). What is Default Broker-id in Kafka  The default broker id is -1 . When you create a new broker, it adds to -1. Then, it gives a new broker id. The broker ids will be generated from  reserved.broker.max.id + 1. Types of broker ids. Use assigned Zookeeper generated broker id. According to Wiki: Kafka runs on a cluster of one or more servers (called brokers), and the partitions of all topics are distributed across the cluster nodes.  Additionally, partitions are replicat
