Python one-liners are Turing complete since Python is a Turing-complete language and any Python program can be executed as a one-liner using the exec() function, by enclosing the entire program in a string and passing it to exec(). In this article, I slowly build this argument and also provide less “brute-force” ways to build Python … Read more

🐍 Question: How to find the index of the median element in a Python list? Something like argmedian()? In case you need a quick refresher, I have written this tutorial on finding the median itself (but not yet its index): 👉 Recommended: 6 Ways to Get the Median of a Python List Solution A multi-liner … Read more
To convert an integer i to a string with leading zeros so that it consists of 5 characters, use the format string f'{i:05d}’. The d flag in this expression defines that the result is a decimal value. The str(i).zfill(5) accomplishes the same string conversion of an integer with leading zeros. Challenge: Given an integer number. … Read more
The easiest way to extract numbers from a Python string s is to use the expression re.findall(‘\d+’, s). For example, re.findall(‘\d+’, ‘hi 100 alice 18 old 42’) yields the list of strings [‘100′, ’18’, ’42’] that you can then convert to numbers using int() or float(). There are some tricks and alternatives, so keep reading … Read more

Being able to write one-liners can save you time, allow you to quickly debug code, and provide a more succinct way of expressing ideas. … Read more
Short Overview Python Generator Expressions provide an easy-to-read syntax for creating generator objects. They allow you to quickly create an iterable object by using a single line of code. A generator expression is like a list comprehension, but instead of creating a list, it returns an iterator object that produces the values instead of storing … Read more
