Go vs Python - A Deep Dive into String Length

In the programming world, strings are one of the most common data types. However, different programming languages can have significant differences in how they handle strings. Today, we鈥檒l delve into the distinction between Go and Python in processing string lengths, a seemingly simple concept that reveals important differences in language design philosophy. Case Study Let鈥檚 start with a simple example: s := "Hello, 涓栫晫! 馃憢" This string contains ASCII characters, Chinese characters, and an emoji....

Overriding vs. Overloading

Both overriding and overloading are concepts in object-oriented programming that allow you to define methods with the same name but different behavior. However, they differ in their implementation and purpose. Overriding Overriding is a mechanism by which a subclass can provide a different implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass. When a method is overridden, the subclass鈥檚 implementation takes precedence over the superclass鈥檚 implementation, allowing you to customize the behavior of the method for the specific subclass....

Namedtuple

The namedtuple function is a factory function from the collections module in Python that creates a new class-like object that behaves like a tuple, but with named fields. Here are some cases where you might consider using namedtuple: Improved readability: If you have a collection of records or objects that have a fixed set of attributes, using a namedtuple can make your code more readable by giving names to the fields instead of relying on integer indices....
