  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python 2.7+ also supports set comprehensions and dictionary comprehensions. First-class functions. In Python, functions are first-class objects that can be created and passed around dynamically. Python's limited support for anonymous functions is the lambda construct. An example is the anonymous function which squares its input, called with the ...

  3. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python makes a distinction between lists and tuples. Lists are written as [1, 2, 3], are mutable, and cannot be used as the keys of dictionaries (dictionary keys must be immutable in Python). Tuples, written as (1, 2, 3), are immutable and thus can be used as keys of dictionaries, provided all of the tuple's elements are immutable.

  4. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    In mathematical terms, an associative array is a function with finite domain. [1] It supports 'lookup', 'remove', and 'insert' operations. The dictionary problem is the classic problem of designing efficient data structures that implement associative arrays. [2] The two major solutions to the dictionary problem are hash tables and search trees.

  5. List comprehension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_comprehension

    Here, the list [0..] represents , x^2>3 represents the predicate, and 2*x represents the output expression.. List comprehensions give results in a defined order (unlike the members of sets); and list comprehensions may generate the members of a list in order, rather than produce the entirety of the list thus allowing, for example, the previous Haskell definition of the members of an infinite list.

  6. pandas (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandas_(software)

    Pandas (styled as pandas) is a software library written for the Python programming language for data manipulation and analysis. In particular, it offers data structures and operations for manipulating numerical tables and time series. It is free software released under the three-clause BSD license. [2] The name is derived from the term " pan el ...

  7. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    The dictionary keys must be of an immutable data type. In Python, strings are immutable due to their method of implementation. Red. In Red the built-in map! datatype provides an associative array that maps values of word, string, and scalar key types to values of any type. A hash table is used internally for lookup.

  8. Mojo (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojo_(programming_language)

    Mojo is a programming language in the Python family that is currently under development. [2] [3] [4] It is available both in browsers via Jupyter notebooks, [4] [5] and locally on Linux and macOS. [6] [7] Mojo aims to combine the usability of higher level languages, specifically Python, with the performance of lower level ones.

  9. History of Python - Wikipedia

    Python 2.5 was released in September 2006 and introduced the with statement, which encloses a code block within a context manager (for example, acquiring a lock before the block of code is run and releasing the lock afterwards, or opening a file and then closing it), allowing resource acquisition is initialization (RAII)-like behavior and replacing a common try/finally idiom.
