Comprehensions

In Python, there are several types of comprehensions that can be used to create new data structures from existing ones: list comprehension A list comprehension is a concise way to create a new list by iterating over an existing iterable and applying a transformation or filtering condition to each element. Here’s an example: my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] squared_list = [x*x for x in my_list] print(squared_list) # Output: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] In this example, the list comprehension [x*x for x in my_list] creates a new list by squaring each element of my_list....

Array

In Python, an array is a data structure that stores a collection of elements of the same data type. Unlike lists, which can contain elements of different data types, arrays can only contain elements of a single data type, such as integers, floats, or characters. Python supports two types of arrays: arrays provided by the built-in array module and arrays provided by the numpy module. built-in array module The array module provides a simple way to create and manipulate arrays of primitive data types, such as integers, floats, and characters....
