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’...

Python Supports These 5 Native Data types

Python supports five native data types. The Data types are such that a Programmer can use to write the logic and get the output. Many beginners may not aware of native data types. So I am adding a short note on that here. Native means as is Python supported data types. Python Five Key Native Data Types Python Native Data Types In Python, you can find five types of native data types. Here is a quick list for you. Those are Number, String, List, Tuple, Set, and Dictionary. 1. Number For all the numeric values,  you can use this data type. 2. String It handles all Characters, Special-symbols, and Alphanumeric values. 3. List It is something like sequential data. A program can do Sort, Merge, etc. on this data. 4. Tuple Data is a little different from the List. 5. Set This kind of Data-type helps you to do set operations. Those are like Intersection, Difference, etc. 6. Dictionary Here, the Dictionary something like a group of List kinds of data. But, each value has a key associated wi...
