Python Day 2 R&D

The document discusses various Python set operations, including the use of union methods and the differences between set.discard and set.remove. It also provides a table listing methods for different data types like strings, lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries, along with brief descriptions of their functionalities. Additionally, it explains the concepts of pass by reference and pass by value with examples and code snippets.

Python Day 2 R&D

set .union vs pipe operator(" | ") why are there multiple ways of achieving this

Both combine elements from two sets and return a new set with unique elements.

A = {1, 2, 3}
B = {3, 4, 5}

[Link](B)
A|B

Why multiple ways exist?

● Readability vs Conciseness
● Backward compatibility
● Different abstraction levels
● Mathematical representation (| mirrors set theory)

Difference between [Link] & [Link]

remove () removes element and raises error if missing


discord() removes element but doesn’t raise an error if missing

s = {1, 2, 3}

[Link](2) #No error


[Link](5) #Gives error

[Link](5) #No error

create a table and list down all the methods that a data type supports and what
does it do exactly(Give brief description)

Category Method Description

String (str) upper() Convert to uppercase

lower() Convert to lowercase

strip() Remove whitespace from start/end

split() Split string into a list

replace() Replace a substring with another

find() Find the first index of a substring

List (list) append() Add an element to the end

extend() Add multiple elements (from an iterable)

insert() Insert an element at a specific index


remove() Remove the first occurrence of a value

pop() Remove and return an element by index

sort() Sort the list in place

Tuple (tuple) count() Count the occurrences of a value

index() Find the first index of a value

Set (set) add() Add an element to the set

remove() Remove an element (raises error if


missing)

discard() Remove an element safely (no error if


missing)

union() Return a set containing all elements from


both

intersection() Return elements common to both sets

difference() Return elements in the first set but not


the second

Dictionary keys() Return a list of all keys


(dict)

values() Return a list of all values

items() Return key-value pairs as tuples

get() Access a value safely (returns None if


missing)

pop() Remove a specific key and return its


value

update() Update the dictionary with another


dictionary

Explain Pass by reference and Pass by value with example & code snippet.

Pass by Value (Immutable Objects)


def update(x):
x = 10
a=5
update(a)
print(a) #outputs 5

Original value is unchanged

Pass by Reference (Mutable Objects)


def update(lst):
[Link](4)

numbers = [1, 2, 3]
update(numbers)
print(numbers) #Outputs [1,2,3,4]

Object will be modified
