This article is an edited version of this article on the Finxter blog. The math.factorial() function is one of many functions in the math module. In this article, we will explore the mathematical properties of the factorial function using Python’s Matplotlib and NumPy libraries. What is the Factorial Function? A factorial of a positive integer … Read more

Syntax object.__bytes__(self) The Python __bytes__() method implements the built-in bytes() function. So, when you cal bytes(x), Python attempts to call x.__bytes__(). If the return value is not a Bytes object or the x.__bytes__() method is not defined for an object on which you call bytes(x), Python will raise a TypeError. We call this a “Dunder … Read more
[toc] Overview Problem Statement: Given a Pandas Dataframe, how to get the row count of the data frame? Example: In the following example, we have a dataframe that has 5 rows in it. Thus, the question here is how do we get the number of rows in the dataframe? (Output expected is 5 in this … Read more
Syntax object.__bool__(self) The Python __bool__() method implements the built-in bool() function. So, when you cal bool(x), Python attempts to call x.__bool__(). If the return value is not a Boolean, Python raises a TypeError. We call this a “Dunder Method” for “Double Underscore Method” (also called “magic method”). To get a list of all dunder methods … Read more
The __await__() magic method defines the behavior of an awaitable object. An awaitable object is used to implement asynchronous behavior in Python. For example, you can implement an asynchronous function that waits for the data based to access some data like so (see source): Syntax __await__() object.__await__(self) The __await__() method must return an iterator. Otherwise, … Read more
Background Python’s namedtuple() is an integral part of the Collections library and an immutable container type. Values, once set, can not be modified. You can access values by referencing them via the index or name attribute. The namedtuple() work similar to tuples. However, namedtuple() has additional functionality. This article touches on a few of these … Read more
Annotations are defined in PEP 3107 allow you to add arbitrary metadata to the parameters and return values of functions. The __annotations__ attribute of a function object stores those annotations in a dictionary mapping function parameters or the return value to the specified annotations. Let’s have a look at a couple of examples next. Parameter … Read more
Everybody talks about passive income these days. Is it a scam? Yes and no. Nothing can exist passively for an unlimited time. Here’s what passive income really means: passive income is a more or less slowly dying income stream. But the idea is still powerful and transformative. And there are a lot of income streams … Read more
