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 Monitor Kafka-stream's Performance

Image
Kafka Streams API is a part of Kafka, it goes without saying that monitoring your application will require some monitoring of Kafka as well. Performance The consumer and producer performance is one of the fundamental performance concerns for a producer and consumer.   The Kafka data flow diagram What is lag For producers, we care mostly about how fast the producer is sending messages to the broker. Obviously, the higher the throughput, the better. For consumers, we’re also concerned with performance, or how fast we can read messages from a broker. we care about how much and how fast our producers can publish to a broker, and we simultaneously care about how quickly our consumers can read those messages from the broker. The difference between how fast the producers place records on the broker and when consumers read those messages is called consumer lag How to check consumer lag To check for consumer lag, Kafka provides a convenient command-line tool, kafka-consumer-groups.sh,...
