Python Most Effective Anagram Program

Two strings are anagram if all letters in one string is also there in the other and vice versa
There are three anagram logics here:

Using Sorted

def one(a, b):
  if sorted(a)==sorted(b):
    return True

Using Dictionary

def two(a,b):
  if len(a) != len(b):
    return False
  else:
    temp_dict = {}
    for l in a:
      if l in temp_dict:
        temp_dict[l] += 1
      else:
        temp_dict[l] = 1

    for l in a:
      if l in temp_dict:
        temp_dict[l] -= 1
      else:
        temp_dict[l] = 1

    for l in temp_dict:
      if temp_dict[l]!=0:
        return False
    return True

Using List

def three(a,b):
  a1=list(a)
  b1=list(b)
  if len(a) != len(b):
    return False
  else:
    index = 0
    for idx, val in enumerate(a):
      try:
        b1.pop(idx)
        a1.pop(0)
      except:
        return False
    return True
a = "Public Relations"
b = "Crap Built on Lies"
a = a.replace(" ", "").lower()
b = b.replace(" ", "").lower()
%timeit one(a,b)
%timeit two(a,b)
%timeit three(a,b)

Output

100000 loops, best of 3: 2.96 µs per loop 100000 loops, best of 3: 4.93 µs per loop 100000 loops, best of 3: 4.74 µs per loop

As you can see, first method that is Using Sorted is the most effective one. It is also the most readable code.

Two Ways of rendering in React Examples

Two Ways of rendering in React Examples 1 - Render twice HTML < div id = "p1" ></ div > < div id = "p2" ></ div > CSS . person { display : inline - block ; margin : 10px ; border : 1px solid # eee ; box - shadow : 0 2px 2px # ccc ; } JAVASCRIPT (Babel) function Person ( props ) { return ( < div className = ' person "> < h1 >{ props . name }</ h1 > < p > Age :{ props . age }</ p > </ div > ); } ReactDOM . render (< Person name = "VK" age = "29" />, document . querySselector ( '#p1' )); ReactDOM . render (< Person name = "HK" age = "28" />, document . querySselector ( '#p2' )); 2 Render all at once HTML < div id = "app" ></ div > CSS . person { display : inline - block ; margin : 1...

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 ...

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.
