Introduction To Python


What is Python?

Python is a very-high-level dynamic object-oriented programming language.

Python is easy to program and read

 

 Why Python?

software Quality:

Python focuses on readability, coherence, and software quality in general which sets it apart from other languages in the scripting world.

Developer Productivity:

Python code is typically one-third to one-fifth the size equivalent C++ or Java code.That means there is less to type,less to debug, and less to maintain  

Program Portability:  

Python programs run unchanged on all major computer platforms. For Example- Windows, Linux, MAC OS etc.

Support Libraries :

Python comes with a large collection of pre built and portable functionality, 
known as the Standard Library. This library supports an array of application- level
programming tasks, from text pattern matching to network scripting.


Component Integration :

Python scripts can easily communicate with other parts of an application, using a variety of integration mechanisms.

Enjoyment :

Because of Python’s ease of use and built-in toolset, it makes the programming more pleasurable.

About  Python


Invented in the Netherlands in early 90s by Guido van Rossum.
 Named after “Monty Python”, a comedy group, as Python is fun to use
Open source and interpreted language.

Considered a scripting language, but is much more than that.
Scalable, object oriented and functional.



Used by Google, increasingly popular.

Python job trends from indeed.com shows remarkable increase

Python is at the top the list among the top-dogs-Java,JavaScript and PHP(accroding to Red Monk first quarter plot 2014 ranking)

Linear Regression Numpy code

 We finished coding generating data for the numpy version of Linear regression. We didn't use data from an excel sheet or a Kaggle dataset and hence we had to create our own data. For this, we created random integer data for our X and betas. Then we created a noise, as real data always has noise, using this we created Y data. the code for the same was as follows: import numpy as np samplesize=1000 num_attrs= 3 step = 0.1 x_inputs = np.random.rand(samplesize,num_attrs-1) x0 = np.ones((samplesize,1)) x_data = np.concatenate((x0, x_inputs), axis=1) noise = np.random.randn(len(x_inputs),1)  betas = np.random.rand(num_attrs,1) y_true = x_data.dot(betas) + noise  #understand this y_true.reshape(1000,1) Python course  We started an Udemy course on Python. The concepts we covered today were: Pros and Cons of Dynamic Typing String Indexing and Slicing Various String Methods String Interpolation:          ...

week 11(21-25 october)

After completing my news article recommender last week the upcoming week brought me opportunity to explore a library for high dimensional space visualization t-SNE , I was told by my mentor Mr.Vikram Jha to explore it and tell insights. t-SNE t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) is a ( prize-winning ) technique for dimensionality reduction that is particularly well suited for the visualization of high-dimensional datasets. Before jumping to t-SNE i knew about old technique of dimensionality reduction that is PCA,  Principal Component Analysis, I first studied in ISB videos but when Sarabjot sir explained,it  became thorough PCA Principal component analysis (PCA) is a technique used to emphasize variation and bring out strong patterns in a dataset. It's often used to make data easy to explore and visualize.

How java is different from c/c++?

How java is different from c? 1. C is structured oriented language(POP) while java is object oriented langauge and has mechanism to define classes and objects. 2. Java does not support an explicit pointer type. 3. Java does not have preprocessor, so we cannot use #define,#include and #ifdef statements. 3. java does not include struct enum and union datatype. 4. Java does not include keyword like goto, sizeof, typedef. 5. Java adds labelled break and continue statement. 6. Java adds many feature required for OOP How Java is different from C++? Features removed in java. 1. Java does not support pointers to void  i.e unauthorized access to memory. 2. Java does not include struct, enum,  union datatype. 3. Java does not support operator overloading. 4. Preprocessor plays less role in C++ and so eliminated entirely in Java. 5. Java does not perform automatic type conversion and result in loss of precision. 6. Java does not support global varia...
