Extracting Digits from a File using Python

Day 7 Today’s focus was on mastering the "Big Three" of Python collections: Tuples Sets Dictionaries. Here’s a breakdown of the key takeaways from my latest session on Sololearn: 1️⃣ Tuples (Immutability is Key! 🔒) Unlike lists, tuples are immutable, meaning once they are created, they cannot be changed. This makes them perfect for: Storing data that should remain constant (like coordinates or dates). Tuple Unpacking: Using the * operator to flexibly assign multiple elements to a single variable as a list (Game changer for clean code!). 2️⃣ Sets 💎 When you need to ensure every item in your collection is unique, Sets are the go-to. They are perfect for filtering out duplicates and performing mathematical set operations like unions and intersections. 3️⃣ Dictionaries 📖 I explored the fundamental concept of key-value pairs. Dictionaries are: Mutable: You can add or update items using the .update() method. Highly Searchable: Using the .get() function allows for safe data retrieval without crashing the program if a key is missing. Iterative: Easily loop through keys, values, or items to process complex data sets. 4️⃣ Next Stop: List Comprehensions ⚡ I’m just starting to scratch the surface of List Comprehensions—a much more "Pythonic" and efficient way to create and manipulate lists in a single line of code. Building a solid foundation in these data structures is making me a more confident programmer every day. If you’re a fellow learner or a Python pro, what’s your favorite "hidden gem" tip for working with dictionaries?

🚀 Day 14/60 – Dictionary Comprehension (Level Up Your Python 🚀) Yesterday you learned list comprehension. Today, let’s level up 👇 🧠 What is Dictionary Comprehension? A quick way to create dictionaries in one clean line. ❌ Traditional Way numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4] squares = {} for num in numbers: squares[num] = num * num print(squares) ✅ Dictionary Comprehension Way numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4] squares = {num: num * num for num in numbers} print(squares) 👉 Cleaner. Faster. More Pythonic. 🔍 With Condition numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] even_squares = {num: num * num for num in numbers if num % 2 == 0} print(even_squares) ⚡ Real Example names = ["adeel", "ali", "ahmed"] name_length = {name: len(name) for name in names} print(name_length) ❌ Common Mistake {num * num for num in numbers} # ❌ This creates a set Correct: {num: num * num for num in numbers} # ✅ Dictionary 🔥 Pro Tip Use dictionary comprehension when: ✅ You want clean transformation of data ❌ Avoid if logic becomes too complex 🔥 Challenge for today 👉 Create numbers from 1 to 5 👉 Create dictionary where: Key = number Value = cube of number Comment “DONE” when finished ✅ Follow Adeel Sajjad to stay consistent for 60 days 🚀 #Python #PythonProgramming #LearnPython #Coding #Programming #Developer #SoftwareEngineering

💡 Generated Subsets with Duplicates Using Recursion — But There’s Room to Improve Today I worked on the Subsets II problem: generate all possible subsets from an array that may contain duplicates. Example: [1,2,2] Valid output: [], [1], [2], [1,2], [2,2], [1,2,2] ⚙️ My Approach: Recursive Include / Exclude I used classic backtracking logic: For each element: Exclude it from current subset Include it in current subset To handle duplicates: First sort the array Generate all subsets Remove duplicate subsets at the end using set() ✨ Why I liked this approach: Very intuitive recursion pattern Easy to understand Great for learning include/exclude decisions Python code : https://lnkd.in/gXcYNZa9 📊 Complexity: Time: O(2^n) Space: O(n) recursion stack (excluding output) 🧠 But here’s the real question: 👉 Can you give the best optimized solution? Instead of generating duplicates first and removing later, how would you skip duplicates during recursion itself? Would love to learn cleaner approaches from the community 👇 #Recursion #Backtracking #Algorithms #Python #CodingInterview #LeetCode #ProblemSolving Rajan Arora

Today's topic: recursion. A function that calls itself. Sounds simple, right? Here are two ways to add up a list of numbers: Without recursion — honest, reliable, easy to follow: python def suma(lista): suma = 0 for i in range(0, len(lista)): suma = suma + lista[i] return suma print(suma([6,3,4,2,10])) # 25 With recursion — elegant, almost poetic... and a little terrifying: python def suma(lista): if len(lista) == 1: return lista[0] else: return lista[0] + suma(lista[1:]) print(suma([6,3,4,2,10])) # 25 Same result. Two completely different roads to get there. The recursive version looks more "pro" — but if you forget to define when it stops, the function calls itself forever. Literally. Forever. 💀 So yes, it's getting challenging. And yes, recursion feels more elegant to write. But I'm not ready to fully trust something that could loop into oblivion if I blink wrong. Lesson of the day: simple is not the same as bad. And documenting the moments that confuse you? That's part of learning too. #Python #LearningToCode #DaysOfCode #PythonProgramming #CodingJourney #Recursion #BeginnerCoder #TechLearning #CodeNewbie #LinkedInLearning

🚀 Python Series – Day 19: Polymorphism (One Name, Many Forms!) Yesterday, we learned Inheritance 🔁 Today, let’s understand another powerful OOP concept — 👉 Polymorphism 🧠 What is Polymorphism? 👉 The word Polymorphism means: 📌 Poly = Many 📌 Morph = Forms So, One method / function behaves differently in different situations 🔹 Real-Life Example Think of the word Run 🏃 Human runs 🚗 Car runs 💻 Software runs 👉 Same word run, different meanings. That is Polymorphism 🔥 💻 Example 1: Same Method, Different Classes class Dog: def sound(self): print("Dog barks") class Cat: def sound(self): print("Cat meows") for animal in (Dog(), Cat()): animal.sound() Output: Dog barks Cat meows 🔹 Example 2: Built-in Polymorphism print(len("Python")) print(len([1,2,3,4])) Output: 6 4 👉 Same len() function works for string and list. 🎯 Why Polymorphism is Important? ✔️ Cleaner code ✔️ Flexible programs ✔️ Easy to extend features ✔️ Used in real-world software development Pro Tip 👉 Write generic code that works with many object types. 🔥 One-Line Summary 👉 Polymorphism = Same method name, different behavior 📌 Tomorrow: Encapsulation (Protect Your Data Like a Pro!)

Most data analysts know Python. But not everyone uses it effectively. This image covers some advanced Pandas techniques, and honestly, these are the kind of things that make a real difference in day-to-day work. Not because they’re “advanced", but because they make your code cleaner, faster, and easier to maintain What stood out to me is Instead of writing long, step-by-step transformations, you can chain operations for cleaner pipelines, use vectorized calculations instead of loops, and combine multiple aggregations in a single step. Also, small things matter more than we think: 🔺 selecting only required columns 🔺 handling missing data thoughtfully 🔺 using proper joins instead of manual merges These don’t sound fancy, but they save a lot of time in real projects.

Machine Learning Graph Data using pykeen #machinelearning #datascience #graphdata #pykeen PyKEEN is a Python package for reproducible, facile knowledge graph embeddings. The fastest way to get up and running is to use the pykeen.pipeline.pipeline() function. It provides a high-level entry into the extensible functionality of this package. The following example shows how to train and evaluate the TransE model (pykeen.models.TransE) on the Nations dataset (pykeen.datasets.Nations) by referring to them by name. By default, the training loop uses the stochastic closed world assumption training approach (pykeen.training.SLCWATrainingLoop) and evaluates with rank-based evaluation (pykeen.evaluation.RankBasedEvaluator). The results are returned in a pykeen.pipeline.PipelineResult instance, which has attributes for the trained model, the training loop, and the evaluation. PyKEEN has a function pykeen.env() that magically prints relevant version information about PyTorch, CUDA, and your operating system that can be used for debugging. If you’re in a Jupyter notebook, it will be pretty printed as an HTML table. https://lnkd.in/gMPwqbWQ

💡 A Simple Recursive Way to Check Power of Two Today I revisited a basic but interesting problem: Check if a number is a power of two. Instead of jumping straight to bit manipulation, I tried solving it using recursion — and it turned out to be a neat approach. 🔁 Idea: A number is a power of 2 if: It keeps dividing cleanly by 2 And eventually becomes 1 ⚙️ Approach: If n == 1 → ✅ True If n <= 0 or n is odd → ❌ False Otherwise → recursively check n // 2 ✨ What I liked about this: Very intuitive Mirrors the mathematical definition Easy to understand and implement 📊 Complexity: Time: O(log n) Space: O(log n) due to recursion stack 🧠 Takeaway: Sometimes, going back to the mathematical intuition behind a problem leads to the simplest solution. Of course, there’s also a more optimized bit manipulation trick: 👉 n & (n - 1) == 0 But recursion helps in building strong fundamentals. python code https://lnkd.in/giwyBUiQ How would you approach this — recursion or bit manipulation? 👇 #Algorithms #Recursion #Python #CodingInterview #ProblemSolving #LeetCode Rajan Arora

💻 uv: 83.8 k ⭐ I managed Python environments with pip, virtualenv, and pyenv for over a decade. Then I tried uv and genuinely couldn't go back. uv replaces pip, pip-tools, virtualenv, pyenv, pipx, and poetry — one Rust-based tool, 10-100x faster than pip, with a universal lockfile. It installs Python versions, manages virtual environments, runs scripts with inline dependencies, and even publishes packages. No Rust or Python required to install. If you're still managing your Python environments with multiple tools, the switch is a single install and you'll feel it immediately. The links are as always a side-quest.

I used to think Data Structures were just a hard exam topic. Then StemLink lectures showed me how they actually work in Python — and everything changed. 🐍 Here's what I learned, broken down simply 👇 --- 🔷 The 4 main data structures in Python: 📋 Lists → ordered, mutable, most used   mylist = []   mylist.append("item")  # add to end   mylist.sort()      # sort in place 📖 Dictionaries → key-value pairs, O(1) lookup   user = {"name": "Abiya", "age": 20} 🔸 Tuples → like lists but NOT mutable   coords = (6.9, 79.8)  # can't change this 🔹 Sets → unique values only, no duplicates   tags = {"python", "dsa", "python"} # stores only once --- 🔷 How data lives inside structures: Everything stored inside these is called an Element. Elements are ordered in groups → accessed using Indexes. mylist[0]    # first item mylist[-1]    # last item mylist[0:3]   # slice from 0 to 2 --- 🔷 How we move through data: Loops + Indexes work together to iterate through elements. for elem in mylist:   # loop through every item   print(elem) mylist[int] = x     # modify by assignment --- 🔷 The big insight: Lists are the most popular data structure in Python. They connect everything — elements, loops, indexes, methods, and assignment — all in one place. Once you understand Lists deeply, the rest makes sense. These fundamentals go directly into the projects I build. Not just theory. Real code.
