Mastering flat_map in Python with List Comprehension

Image
Introduction In Python, when working with nested lists or iterables, one common challenge is flattening them into a single list while applying transformations. Many programming languages provide a built-in flatMap function, but Python does not have an explicit flat_map method. However, Python’s powerful list comprehensions offer an elegant way to achieve the same functionality. This article examines implementation behavior using Python’s list comprehensions and other methods. What is flat_map ? Functional programming  flatMap is a combination of map and flatten . It transforms the collection's element and flattens the resulting nested structure into a single sequence. For example, given a list of lists, flat_map applies a function to each sublist and returns a single flattened list. Example in a Functional Programming Language: List(List(1, 2), List(3, 4)).flatMap(x => x.map(_ * 2)) // Output: List(2, 4, 6, 8) Implementing flat_map in Python Using List Comprehension Python’...

Greenplum Database basics in the age of Hadoop (1 of 2)

The Greenplum Database constructs on the basis of open origin database PostgreSQL. It firstly purposes like a information storage and uses a shared-nothing architecture|shared-nothing, astronomically collateral (computing)|massively collateral handling (MPP) design. How Greenplum works... In this design, information is partitioned athwart numerous section servers, and every one section controls and commands a clearly different part of the altogether data; there is no disk-level parting nor information argument amid sections. Greenplum Database’s collateral request optimizer changes every one request into a material implementation design. Greenplum’s optimizer utilizes a cost-based set of rules to appraise prospective implementation designs, bears a worldwide view of implementation athwart the computer array, and circumstances in the charges of moving information amid knots. The ensuing request designs hold customary relational database transactions like well like collateral ...
