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

'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)

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

Introduction

The map(), filter() and reduce() functions bring a bit of functional programming to Python. All three of these are convenience functions that can be replaced with List Comprehensions or loops, but provide a more elegant and short-hand approach to some problems.

Before continuing, we'll go over a few things

Introduction

For most people, Bubble Sort is likely the first sorting algorithm they heard of in their Computer Science course.

It's highly intuitive and easy to "translate" into code, which is important for new software developers so they can ease themselves into turning ideas into a form that
