An interface with no methods in it is referred to as a tagging interface. There are two basic design purposes of tagging interfaces -Creates a common parent As with the EventListener interface, which is extended by dozens of other interfaces in the Java API, you can use a tagging interface to create a common parent among a group of interfaces. For example, when an interface extends EventListener, the JVM knows that this particular interface is going to be used in an event delegation scenario.Adds a data type to a classThis situation is where the term, tagging comes from. A class that ... Read More

A dictionary object is mutable. Hence one dictionary object can be used as a value component of a key. So we can create a nested dictionary object another dictionary object is defined as value associated with key.>>>> students={"student1":{"name":"Raaj", "age":23, "subjects":["Phy", "Che", "maths"],"GPA":8.5},"student2":{"name":"Kiran", "age":21, "subjects":["Phy", "Che", "bio"],"GPA":8.25}}

You can use any Python aware editor to write Python script. Standard distribution of Python comes with IDLE module which is an integrated development and learning environment. Start IDLE and open a new file from file menu. In the editor page enter print (“Hello World!”) Save the script as hello.py and execute it from Run menu to get Hello world message on console. This is your first program. It can also be run from command prompt c:\user>python hello.py

In python, a dictionary is an unordered collection of data which is used to store data values such as map unlike other datatypes that store only single values. Keys of a dictionary must be unique and of immutable data type such as Strings, Integers, and tuples, but the key values can be repeated and be of any type. Dictionaries are mutable, therefore keys can be added or removed even after defining a dictionary in python. They are many ways to remove a key from a dictionary, following are few ways. Using pop(key, d) The pop(key, d) method returns the value ... Read More

Dictionary is an unordered collection of key-value pairs. Each element is not identified by positional index. Moreover, the fact that key can’t be repeated, we simply use a new key and assign a value to it so that a new pair will be added to dictionary. >>> D1 = {1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c', 'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'z': 3} >>> D1[10] = 'z' >>> D1 {1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c', 'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'z': 3, 10: 'z'}

Built-in dictionary class has update() method which merges elements of argument dictionary object with calling dictionary object. >>> a = {1:'a', 2:'b', 3:'c'} >>> b = {'x':1,'y':2, 'z':3} >>> a.update(b) >>> a {1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c', 'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'z': 3} From Python 3.5 onwards, another syntax to merge two dictionaries is available >>> a = {1:'a', 2:'b', 3:'c'} >>> b = {'x':1,'y':2, 'z':3} >>> c = {**a, **b} >>> c {1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c', 'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'z': 3}

Any built-in data type converted into its string representation by str() function >>> str(10) '10' >>> str(11.11) '11.11' >>> str(3+4j) '(3+4j)' >>> str([1,2,3]) '[1, 2, 3]' >>> str((1,2,3)) '(1, 2, 3)' >>> str({1:11, 2:22, 3:33}) '{1: 11, 2: 22, 3: 33}' For a user defined class to be converted to string representation, __str__() function needs to be defined in it. >>> class rectangle: def __init__(self): self.l=10 self.b=10 def __str__(self): return 'length={} breadth={}'.format(self.l, self.b) >>> r1=rect() >>> str(r1) 'length = 10 breadth = 10'

Type conversion is the transformation of a Python data type into another data type. Implicit type conversion and explicit type conversion are the two basic categories of type conversion procedures in Python. We will cover the following topics in this article − Implicit Type Conversion in Python is carried out by the Python interpreter automatically. In Python, explicit type conversion must be performed directly by the programmer. Let's study more about these two approaches in depth and with some illustrations. Implicit Type conversions Implicit type conversion occurs when the Python interpreter automatically changes an object's data type without ... Read More
