Introduction to any() and all() In this tutorial, we’ll be covering the any() and all() functions in Python. The any(iterable) and all(iterable) are built-in functions in Python and have been around since Python 2.5 was released. Both functions are equivalent to writing a series of or and and operators respectively between each of the elements of the passed iterable. They are both convenience functions that shorten the code by replacing boilerplate loops. Both methods short-circuit and return a value as […]

‘is’ vs ‘==’ in Python Python has two very similar operators for checking whether two objects are equal. These two operators are is and ==. They are usually confused with one another because with simple data types, like ints and strings (which many people start learning Python with) they seem to do the same thing: x = 5 s = “example” print(“x == 5: ” + str(x == 5)) print(“x is 5: ” + str(x is 5)) print(“s == ‘example’: […]

Introduction to Python Data Types In this article, we’ll be diving into the Basic Data Types in Python. These form some of the fundamental ways you can represent data. One way to categorize these basic data types is in one of four groups: Numeric: int, float and the less frequently encountered complex Sequence: str (string), list and tuple Boolean: (True or False) Dictionary: dict(dictionary) data type, consisting of (key, value) pairs It’s important to point out that Python usually doesn’t […]
