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...

How to Create an Array and Its Types in Python

Image
Python supports various array types. Here is a list of arrays and how to create examples for your reference.  What is an array? A  Python array  is a class that mimics the array type of other languages and offers efficiency in storage, exchanging that for flexibility. How to create an array Here is the syntax to create an array: data = array('f', [12.8, 5.4, 8.0, 8.0, 9.21, 3.14]) It creates an array of 6 floating point numbers; the type is indicated by the 'f' as the first parameter to the constructor. This concept is unlike the Python norm of types being dynamic and malleable. An array is an array of one kind of thing, and an array can only hold a restricted set of types. Types of arrays Here is a list of arrays: 'b' A C++ char type 'B' A C++ unsigned char type 'i': A C++ int type 'l': A C++ long type 'f': A C++ float type 'd': A C++ double type What is an array type? Arrays are class objects and are provided in the buil...
