How to setup Pydev with Eclipse

In this article, I will be covering how to set up the Pydev plugin in Eclipse. Pydev is the Python plugin for Eclipse. It helps you to write Python code using Eclipse.

Step 1 – Download Python

Download the latest version of Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/ as per your operating system. You should get a file as follows:

Step 2 – Install Python

  1. Double click the downloaded executable file (file with .exe extension). Click Customize Installation

2. This will show the following screen. Click next:

3. This will show the following screen. Choose the appropriate path for installation. Click Install

 

4. Installation process will start as follows:

 

5. The following screen will be displayed once the installation is complete. Click Close

Step 3 – Configure Pydev

Open Eclipse. Click on Help -> Eclipse MarketPlace.

This will display the following screen:

Type Pydev in the Search box & click on Go:

 

This will display the following. Click the install button next to Pydev:

This will display the following. Click the confirm button:

This will display the following:

Accept the license agreement and click on Finish. This will prompt you to restart Eclipse.

Configure Pydev

Click on Window –> Preferences:

This will display the following screen:

Expand Pydev –> Interpreters and click on Python interpreter:

Click on Browse for python/pypye.exe:

Browse for the path of your Python exe:

This will display the following screen. Click apply and close:

You are now ready to start creating your first python program in Eclipse!!

How to use logging in SpringBoot with code samples

Image
In this article, we will learn how to use logging in SpringBoot. Introduction There are several Java logging frameworks like logback, log4j, and so on. Spring Boot supports out-of-the-box support for logback. Let us learn how to use logging in SpringBoot with logback. Step 1 – Create a New Maven Project Create a new Maven project. (Refer to  this  blog post). This will create a project in Eclipse as follows:   Step 2 – Add the Spring Boot Dependencies Add the spring-boot-starter-web dependency to the pom.xml . So, the pom.xml should look as follows: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.learnjava</groupId> <artifactId>learnjava-springboot-logging-example</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT&

Python While Loop with code samples

Much like a Java while loop, you can use a Python while loop to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as a condition is true. In this article, we will learn more about the Python while loop. Python While loop Syntax A while loop in Python has the following syntax: while <condition>: loop body The while keyword is followed by a condition. If the condition evaluates to true, the body of the loop is executed. Once the body of the loop is completed, the condition is checked again and this is repeated until the condition evaluates to false at which point the loop is exited. While loop Sample Code The following code demonstrates how you can use the while loop: num=10counter=1total=0while counter<=num: total += counter counter+=1print("sum of first 10 numbers is",total) This code adds the numbers from 1 to 10 and prints the sum. It uses a while loop to iterate from 1 to 10. The while loop checks the condition counter <= num and if so adds the current value of count

How to convert a List to a Set

In this blog post ,I will be showing you how you can convert a List to a Set. Consider the following code snippet: public class ListToSetDemo {public static void main(String[] args) {List<Integer> list = Arrays.asList(5,3,11,15,9);//Method 1Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>(list);System.out.println("Set is "+set);//method 2Set<Integer> set2 = new HashSet<Integer>();set2.addAll(list);System.out.println("Set is "+set2);}} This code demonstrates two ways to convert a List to a Set. Method 1 Here, we are creating a new HashSet . We are invoking the constructor that accepts a Collection object. Here, we are passing in the input list to this constructor.   Method 2 Here again, we are creating a new HashSet . However, we are using the default constructor. We are then invoking the addAll method and passing in the input list.   When you run this code, it will print the following output: Set is [3, 5, 9, 11, 15]Set is [3, 5, 9, 11, 15] No
