Computer programming

Computer programming is the process of designing, writing, testing, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. It is also known as coding or software development. The source code is the set of instructions that a computer can understand and execute. These instructions are written in a programming language, such as Python, C++, or Java. […]

In most cases, Python users start their journey by understanding how print() works.  The print function helps programmers write their one liners like hello world. Print can also be used for displaying formatted messages on the screen and for spotting bugs. That said, the print Python function has plenty more to offer and we will […]

Counting multiple repeating objects in one go has been a massive problem in the programming landscape. Fortunately, python provides several techniques and tools people can take advantage of in order to address this issue. The counter Python provides from its collections offers a pythonic, efficient and clean solution.  This subclass offers excellent counting features out […]

The use of data structures is vital in the field of computer programming, especially when it comes to storing, managing, organizing data quickly and efficiently. Every developer must consider understanding data structure thoroughly as it can significantly improve their skillset. Min and max heap implementation are an important part of data structure and everyone must […]

In the Python program, programmers often use the for loop to create a loop on an iterable object. What this essentially means that you will not require a counting variable for accessing items inside the iterable. In certain cases, however, programmers require a variable capable of changing on every loop iteration. Instead of creating and […]

At its core, insertion sort serves as a sorting algorithm. It can place various unsorted elements in places that are most suitable for them at every single iteration. It would be fair to say that this algorithm works quite similar to how people sort cards in their hands. If you have experience playing card games, […]

Quick Sort is quite similar to merge sort in the sense that this algorithm helps programmers divide and conquer. It chooses elements as a pivot, after which it create partitions in the array. Quick sort has numerous versions and each of them chooses the pivot differently.  The partition() command is arguably the most important part […]

Programmers and data scientists mostly use the term pseudocode for programming and machine learning tasks. Through pseudocode, a programmer represents their codes and implementation to set up an algorithm. In short, you can say that pseudocode is a representation of an algorithm. The main reason to use pseudocode is to help another programmer interpret the […]

Writing your codes with the help of the Python Shell or the IDLE is not a demanding task. However, using these tools for large projects can be intimidating. Therefore, you need a good code editor or an IDE to write all your codes for a project. A dedicated code editor will make your coding more […]

In machine learning, you can solve predictive modeling through classification problems. For each observation in the model, you must predict the class label. The input data will contain any one of the following variables: categorical variables or continuous variables. However, the output will always contain a categorical variable. We can understand this concept with the […]
