One of the major concern of all IT companies in the security of there data. Multiple hashing techniques are there to project and check our data.What is HashHash is a function which takes variable length sequence of bytes as input and converts it to a fixed length sequence. However, to get your original data(input bytes) back is not easy. For example, x is your input and f is the f is the hashing function, then calculating f(x) is quick and easy but trying to obtain x again is a very time-consuming job.The return value from a hash function is called ...

In the terminal, if you want to make some texts appears in colored mode, there are numerous ways in python programming to achieve it.Using python modules1.termcolor module: It is the ANSII Color formatting for output in the terminal.import sys from termcolor import colored, cprint text1 = colored('Hello, Tutorialspoint!', 'blue', attrs=['reverse', 'blink']) print(text1) cprint('Hello, Python!', 'blue', 'on_white') print_red_on_blue = lambda x: cprint(x, 'red', 'on_blue') print_red_on_blue('Hello, from Data Science!') print_red_on_blue('Hello, Python!') for i in range(10):    cprint(i, 'green', end=' ') cprint("Attention!", 'blue', attrs=['bold'], file=sys.stderr)ResultRead More

Sometimes there is a requirement to convert a string to a number (int/float) in data analysis. For each string, we can assign a unique integer value to differentiate string values.For this, we use the data in Comma Separated Values(CSV) files. Say we have an excel file containing CSV data as follow −CompanyIndustryRecommendationHDFC BankFinanceHoldApolloHealthcareBuyHeroAutomobileUnderperformYes BankFinanceHoldM&MAutomobileUnderperformFortisHealthcareBuyMarutiAutomobileUnderperformAbove is just a few lines from a large dataset, we need to give different recommendation .i.e. Buy, Hold, Underperform etc. integer values, which will link to our metadata. So for the above input, our expected output will be something like −CompanyIndustryRecommendationHDFC BankFinance2ApolloHealthcare1HeroAutomobile3Yes BankFinance2M&MAutomobile3FortisHealthcare1MarutiAutomobile3Here is a way ...

What is Regular Expression?In the real world, string parsing in most programming languages is handled by regular expression. Regular expression in a python programming language is a method used for matching text pattern.The “re” module which comes with every python installation provides regular expression support.In python, a regular expression search is typically written as:match = re.search(pattern, string)The re.search() method takes two arguments, a regular expression pattern and a string and searches for that pattern within the string. If the pattern is found within the string, search() returns a match object or None otherwise. So in a regular expression, given a ... Read More

Python is one of the preferred languages among coders for most of the competitive programming challenges. Most of the problems are easily computed in a reasonable time frame using python.For some of the complex problem, writing fast-enough python code is often a challenge. Below are some of the pythonic code constructs that help to improve the performance of your code in competitive coding −1. Strings concatenation: Do not use the below construct.str1 = "" some_list = ["Welcome ", "To ", "Tutorialspoint "] for x in some_list:    str1 += x print(str1)Above method gives huge time overhead.Instead, try to use this ...

Competitive programming is generally referred to coding to make use of efficient algorithms using an appropriate data structure. They test the skills of programmers on many levels.With the help of algorithms and data structures, you have to solve a hypothetical programming problem posed to you by applying different logics. You not only have to solve the problem but you have to come up with a very efficient solution, which is having a good time and space complexity.Example of a problem statement for what is called competitive programming might be −You are given a string s of length n consisting only ...

In this article, we will try to do google search using python code, this comes handy in case you are working on a python project and you need to access some data from the web and the search result(from the web) is going to be used inside your project.Prerequisite –You must have python installed on your system.Install google module. You can use pip to install google module like below −C:\Users\rajesh>python -m pip install google Collecting google Downloading https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/c8/b1/887e715b39ea7d413a06565713c5ea0e3132156bd6fc2d8b165cee3e559c/google-2.0.1.tar.gz Requirement already satisfied: beautifulsoup4 in c:\python\python361\lib\site-packages (from google) (4.6.0) Installing collected packages: google Running setup.py install for google ... done Successfully installed ...

All python program automatically compiles your source code to compile code also called as byte code, before executing it.Whenever we import a module for the first time or when your source file is a new file or we have an updated file then the recently compiled file, a .pyc file will be created on compiling the file in the same directory as the .py file (from python 3- you might see .pyc file is in a subdirectory called __pycache__ instead in the same directory as your .py file). This is a time-saver mechanism as it prevents python to skip the ... Read More

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers. Any whole number which is greater than 1 and has only two factors that is 1 and the number itself, is called a prime number Let’s say the following is our input − 7 The output should be as follows − Prime Number Check if a number is Prime or not Let us check if a number if a Prime number or not using the for loop − Example # Number to be checked for prime n ...
