An Introduction to Combinatoric Iterators in Python

Combinatoric iterators are tools that provide building blocks to make code more efficient. This introduction shows you some of the most useful ones in Python. Counting Things In this article, I would like to provide a brief introduction to combinatoric iterators in Python. Combinatorics in the mathematical sense is about counting things. It can help us count the number of permutations of something (how many possible arrangements of a deck of cards) or the number of combinations (how many unique arrangements of different colored balls).

How to Write Custom Sort Functions in Python

In computer science, a sorting algorithm puts elements of a list into a particular order. They are important because they often reduce the complexity of a problem. Let’s discover how to use custom sort functions to implement custom orders and comparisons in Python. In my previous article on working with streams in Python, I briefly introduced sorting methods with list.sort() and sorted(). Both list.sort() and sorted() have a key parameter that specifies a function to be called on each list element before making comparisons.

Map, Filter, Reduce – Working on Streams in Python

Do you know how to work with Python streams like Java streams? A stream is a sequence of elements. With map(), filter(), and reduce() – the three cornerstone functions of functional programming – you can operate over a sequence of elements. In this article, we will learn how to work with streams in Python  like we work with them in Java. But first, let’s say a word about functional programming.
