Chunks an array into smaller lists of a specified size.
Uses range to create a list of desired size. Then use map on this list and fill it with splices of arr.
from math import ceil
def chunk(arr, size):
return list(
map(lambda x: arr[x * size:x * size + size],
list(range(0, ceil(len(arr) / size)))))View Examples
chunk([1,2,3,4,5],2) # [[1,2],[3,4],5]Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
Removes falsey values from a list.
Use filter() to filter out falsey values (False, None, 0, and "").
def compact(arr):
return list(filter(lambda x: bool(x), arr))View Examples
compact([0, 1, False, 2, '', 3, 'a', 's', 34]) # [ 1, 2, 3, 'a', 's', 34 ]Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
ℹ️ Already implemented via collections.Counter
Groups the elements of a list based on the given function and returns the count of elements in each group.
Use map() to map the values of the list using the given function. Iterate over the map and increase the the elements count each time it occurs.
def count_by(arr, fn=lambda x: x):
key = {}
for el in map(fn, arr):
key[el] = 0 if not el in key else key[el]
key[el] += 1
return keyView Examples
from math import floor
count_by([6.1, 4.2, 6.3], floor) # {4: 1, 6: 2}
count_by(['one', 'two', 'three'], len) # {3: 2, 5: 1}Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
ℹ️ Already implemented via list.count().
Counts the occurrences of a value in an list.
Uses the reduce functin from built-in module functools to increment a counter each time you encounter the specific value inside the list.
from functools import reduce
def count_occurences(arr, val):
return reduce(
(lambda x, y: x + 1 if y == val and type(y) == type(val) else x + 0),
arr)View Examples
count_occurrences([1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3], 1) # 3Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar, Meet Zaveri
Deep flattens a list.
Use recursion. Use list.extend() with an empty array (result) and the spread function to flatten a list. Recursively flatten each element that is a list.
def spread(arg):
ret = []
for i in arg:
if isinstance(i, list):
ret.extend(i)
else:
ret.append(i)
return ret
def deep_flatten(arr):
result = []
result.extend(
spread(list(map(lambda x: deep_flatten(x) if type(x) == list else x, arr))))
return resultView Examples
deep_flatten([1, [2], [[3], 4], 5]) # [1,2,3,4,5]Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
Returns the difference between two arrays.
Create a set from b, then use list comprehension to only keep values not contained in b
def difference(a, b):
b = set(b)
return [item for item in a if item not in b]View Examples
difference([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4]) # [3]Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
Returns the difference between two list, after applying the provided function to each list element of both.
Create a set by applying fn to each element in b, then use list comprehension in combination with fn on a to only keep values not contained in the previously created set.
def difference_by(a, b, fn):
b = set(map(fn, b))
return [item for item in a if fn(item) not in b]View Examples
from math import floor
difference_by([2.1, 1.2], [2.3, 3.4],floor) # [1.2]
difference_by([{ 'x': 2 }, { 'x': 1 }], [{ 'x': 1 }], lambda v : v['x']) # [ { x: 2 } ]Author:- Meet Zaveri Contributors:-Meet Zaveri, Rohit Tanwar
On a very basic level, an insertion sort algorithm contains the logic of shifting around and inserting elements in order to sort an unordered list of any size. The way that it goes about inserting elements, however, is what makes insertion sort so very interesting!
def insertionsort(arr):
for i in range(1, len(arr)):
key = arr[i]
j = i - 1
while j >= 0 and key < arr[j]:
arr[j + 1] = arr[j]
j -= 1
arr[j + 1] = keyView Examples
arr = [7,4,9,2,6,3]
insertionsort(arr)
print('Sorted %s' %arr) # sorted [2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9]Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
ℹ️ The same algorithm is already implemented via random.shuffle.
Randomizes the order of the values of an list, returning a new list.
Uses the Fisher-Yates algorithm to reorder the elements of the list.
from copy import deepcopy
from random import randint
def shuffle(arr):
temp_arr = deepcopy(arr)
m = len(temp_arr)
while (m):
m -= 1
i = randint(0, m)
temp_arr[m], temp_arr[i] = temp_arr[i], temp_arr[m]
return temp_arrView Examples
foo = [1,2,3]
shuffle(foo) # [2,3,1] , foo = [1,2,3]Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
Implements javascript's [].concat(...arr). Flattens the list(non-deep) and returns an list.
def spread(arg):
ret = []
for i in arg:
if isinstance(i, list):
ret.extend(i)
else:
ret.append(i)
return retView Examples
spread([1,2,3,[4,5,6],[7],8,9]) # [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
ℹ️ Already implemented via itertools.zip_longest()
Creates a list of elements, grouped based on the position in the original lists.
Use max combined with list comprehension to get the length of the longest list in the arguments. Loops for max_length times grouping elements. If lengths of lists vary fill_value is used. By default fill_value is None.
def zip(*args, fillvalue=None):
max_length = max([len(arr) for arr in args])
result = []
for i in range(max_length):
result.append([
args[k][i] if i < len(args[k]) else None for k in range(len(args))
])
return resultView Examples
zip(['a', 'b'], [1, 2], [True, False]) # [['a', 1, True], ['b', 2, False]]
zip(['a'], [1, 2], [True, False]) # [['a', 1, True], [None, 2, False]]
zip(['a'], [1, 2], [True, False], fill_value = '_') # [['a', 1, True], ['_', 2, False]]Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
ℹ️ Already implemented via statistics.mean. statistics.mean takes an array as an argument whereas this function takes variadic arguments.
Returns the average of two or more numbers.
Takes the sum of all the args and divides it by len(args). The secind argument 0.0 in sum is to handle floating point division in python2.
def average(*args):
return sum(args, 0.0) / len(args)View Examples
average(*[1, 2, 3]) # 2.0
average(1, 2, 3) # 2.0Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
Calculates the factorial of a number.
Use recursion. If num is less than or equal to 1, return 1. Otherwise, return the product of num and the factorial of num - 1. Throws an exception if num is a negative or a floating point number.
def factorial(num):
if not ((num >= 0) & (num % 1 == 0)):
raise Exception(
f"Number( {num} ) can't be floating point or negative ")
return 1 if num == 0 else num * factorial(num - 1)View Examples
factorial(6) # 720Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar, [cclauss][@cclauss]
ℹ️ math.gcd works with only two numbers
Calculates the greatest common divisor between two or more numbers/lists.
The helperGcdfunction uses recursion. Base case is when y equals 0. In this case, return x. Otherwise, return the GCD of y and the remainder of the division x/y.
Uses the reduce function from the inbuilt module functools. Also defines a method spread for javascript like spreading of lists.
from functools import reduce
def spread(arg):
ret = []
for i in arg:
if isinstance(i, list):
ret.extend(i)
else:
ret.append(i)
return ret
def gcd(*args):
numbers = []
numbers.extend(spread(list(args)))
def _gcd(x, y):
return x if not y else gcd(y, x % y)
return reduce((lambda x, y: _gcd(x, y)), numbers)View Examples
gcd(8,36) # 4Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
Returns the least common multiple of two or more numbers.
Use the greatest common divisor (GCD) formula and the fact that lcm(x,y) = x * y / gcd(x,y) to determine the least common multiple. The GCD formula uses recursion.
Uses reduce function from the inbuilt module functools. Also defines a method spread for javascript like spreading of lists.
from functools import reduce
def spread(arg):
ret = []
for i in arg:
if isinstance(i, list):
ret.extend(i)
else:
ret.append(i)
return ret
def lcm(*args):
numbers = []

return x if not y else _gcd(y, x % y)
def _lcm(x, y):
return x * y / _gcd(x, y)
return reduce((lambda x, y: _lcm(x, y)), numbers)View Examples
lcm(12, 7) # 84
lcm([1, 3, 4], 5) # 60Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
Returns the n maximum elements from the provided list. If n is greater than or equal to the provided list's length, then return the original list(sorted in descending order).
Use list.sort() combined with the deepcopy function from the inbuilt copy module to create a shallow clone of the list and sort it in ascending order and then use list.reverse() reverse it to make it descending order. Use [:n] to get the specified number of elements. Omit the second argument, n, to get a one-element array
from copy import deepcopy
def max_n(arr, n=1):
numbers = deepcopy(arr)
numbers.sort()
numbers.reverse()
return numbers[:n]View Examples
max_n([1, 2, 3]) # [3]
max_n([1, 2, 3], 2) # [3,2]Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
Returns the n minimum elements from the provided list. If n is greater than or equal to the provided list's length, then return the original list(sorted in ascending order).
Use list.sort() combined with the deepcopy function from the inbuilt copy module to create a shallow clone of the list and sort it in ascending order. Use [:n] to get the specified number of elements. Omit the second argument, n, to get a one-element array

byte_size('Hello World') # 11Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
Capitalizes the first letter of a string.
Capitalizes the fist letter of the sring and then adds it with rest of the string. Omit the lower_rest parameter to keep the rest of the string intact, or set it to true to convert to lowercase.
def capitalize(string, lower_rest=False):
return string[:1].upper() + (string[1:].lower() if lower_rest else string[1:])View Examples
capitalize('fooBar') # 'FooBar'
capitalize('fooBar', True) # 'Foobar'Author:- Rohit Tanwar Contributors:-Rohit Tanwar
