Python - Mathematical Functions - Hexadecimal, Binary, Exponential, Absolute, Round

🐍 Some mathematical functions are in-built in python. Here are some of them.

Convert Decimal to Hexadecimal

hex(246)
Output:
'0xf6'
hex(512)
Output:
'0x200'

0x is prefix to all hexadecimal numbers in output. The number after 0x is the hexadecimal value.

Convert Decimal to Binary

bin(1234)
Output:
'0b10011010010'
bin(246)
Output:
'0b11110110'
bin(512)
Output:
'0b1000000000'

Exponential Function

pow() function is similar to num1**num2, but it comes useful when you want to execute (num1**num2)%num3. Passing three arguments to pow(), does this.
pow(3,4)
Output:
81
This works just like 3**4
pow(3,4,5)
Output:
1
But this, works equivalent to (3**4)%5. Either of the two ways can be used. At this point I feel (3**4)%5 is better, as anybody reading the code will understand what is being done immediately. While with pow(2,3,4), the person may have to refer to documentation to understand how this function works.

Absolute Value

The function abs() is used to find the absolute value, i.e. it removes the negatives, if any and returns the positive number.
abs(-3.14)
Output:
3.14
abs(3.14)
Output:
3.14

Round

The function round() will round a number to a given precision in decimal digits (default 0 digits). It does not convert integers to floats.
round(295,-1)
Output:
300
round(295,0)
Output:
295
round(295,1)
Output:
295
round(3.1415926535,2)
Output:
3.14
round(3.1415)

Output:
3

Python - List - Append, Count, Extend, Index, Insert, Pop, Remove, Reverse, Sort

🐍 Advance List List is widely used and it's functionalities are heavily useful. Append Adds one element at the end of the list. Syntax list1.append(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append(4) l1 Output [1, 2, 3, 4] append can be used to add any datatype in a list. It can even add list inside list. Caution: Append does not return anything. It just appends the list. Count .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.count(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3] l1.count(3) Output 2 It returns 0 if the value is not found in the list. Extend .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.extend(list) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.extend([4, 5]) Output [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] If we use append, entire list will be added to the first list like one element. Extend, i nstead of considering a list as one element, it joins the two lists one after other. Append works in the following way. Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append([4, 5]) Output...

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.

Resolve: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function

If you are getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function Resolve it by including firebase-database.js in your html page as follows: <!-- The core Firebase JS SDK is always required and must be listed first --> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/6.2.4/firebase-app.js" ></script> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.1.0/firebase-database.js" ></script> That is it. Let me know if this was helpful.
