One of the great things about Python is how easy it is to expand. By using libraries like NumPy we can essentially combine Python’s ease of use with a large selection of additional math-based functionality. However, this sometimes brings about odd situations where we have multiple data types that are similar but not quite equivalent. […]
Index Out of Range in a Python List
Lists are one of the more unique aspects of the Python programming language. They’re a powerful feature once we’ve fully mastered them. But some issues, such as indexing, can be a little confusing at first. This is especially true for people trying to manipulate a list in the same way they would an array in […]
How to Determine Python List Size
Lists are one of the fundamental parts of the Python programming language. Lists are similar to an array or tuple in many respects. However, the sheer versatility and flexibility of lists gives them a special place of honor in Python. We can see this by delving into some of the more basic aspects of list […]
How to Flatten in a Python List
Python program lists are one of the most notable features in Python. A list can function as both a data type and a container for instances of other nested data types. In fact, we can even have lists that contain lists. When a Python list contains multiple instances of other lists we consider it to […]
How to Remove Duplicates From a Python List
Lists are one of the more important parts of the Python program language. They’re similar to a standard array in many respects. However, Python’s lists come with a wide variety of special features which make them a joy to work with. For example, we can even have lists stored within a list. Or we can […]
How to Replace Items in a Python List
Replacing items within a Python list might seem like an advanced technique. However, Python’s syntax makes this task far easier than it would be within most other programming languages. However, there’s really not any single method that’s a definitive answer to to this task. As such, we’ll look at a few examples which demonstrate how […]
How to Count Occurrences in a Python List
Lists of various types are a common part of programs. A python list can be an array, data frame, even a string. Sometimes, you want to know how many occurrences of a given element value are found within a list. Fortunately, in Python code, this requires you to use a very simple formula. What is […]
How to Split a Python List
Splitting a list in Python might seem intimidating to people who don’t have much experience with the language. In fact, it can be a difficult task within many other programming languages. But it’s a fairly straightforward process in Python. In the following examples we’ll go over a method to split a Python string into a […]
How to Cut a String in Half in Python Using Split
How would we go about splitting a string in half in Python? Strings are one of the language’s most basic components. On a technical level, we can think of them as an array or list of unicode characters. But in a more utilitarian sense, we can think of strings as human readable language. For example, […]
NumPy Error Message: ‘numpy.float64’ object is not callable
NumPy adds a lot of extra math related functionality to Python. Sometimes this is a fairly straightforward addition. For example, the digitize function’s benefits in reinforcement learning are readily apparent. But the benefits of other elements and their relationship with native Python functionality can be more nebulous. A ‘numpy.float64’ object is not callable error is […]
