How to create a basic python program in Eclipse using Pydev

In this article, I will be demonstrating how you can create a basic Python program using eclipse in Pydev. If you want to see how to setup Pydev with Eclipse, refer to this article.

Creating a Python Project

Step 1 – Click on File –> New –> Pydev project

The following screen is shown:

Step 2 – Enter a project name and click on Next:

Step 3 – The following screen is shown. Click on finish:

This creates the project as follows:

 

Creating a new Python Module

After creating a new Python project, the next step is to create a new Python module.

Step 1 – Right click on the project, click on New –> Pydev module:

The following screen will be shown:

Step 2 – Enter a name for the module. Leave the package field blank. Click on “Finish”:

Step 3 – This displays the following screen. Click on “OK”

This shows the python module in the project as follows:

 

Writing some basic Python code

The next step is to write Python code.

Step 1 – Type the code shown below:

 

The first statement prints the text “Hello World”. The second statement prints the result of adding the values assigned to ‘a’ and ‘b’. So this code prints the following output:

Hello World15

Java 8 DoubleFunction Example

In this blog post, I will be explaining how the Java 8 functional interface DoubleFunction works. To know more about functional interfaces, you can refer  this  blog post. Edit The   DoubleFunction interface provides a method called apply . It accepts a single parameter of double data type. It returns a result of any data type. So it basically applies the logic in the apply method to the input parameter and returns the result. The DoubleFunction interface is a specialization of the Function interface. While the Function interface accepts any data type, the DoubleFunction interface accepts a long value. To see an example of the Function interface, refer to  this  blog post. DoubleFunction Interface that returns an Integer Consider the following code snippet: DoubleFunction<Integer> integerRetriever = input -> new Double(input).intValue();Double input = 4.8;System.out.println("Integer Value "+integerRetriever.apply(input) );   Here, we have written a   Doubl...

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, 1...

ArrayList Vs LinkedList

In this blog post, I will be comparing the ArrayList and LinkedList classes. I will be explaining how they are similar, how they are different and when you should use which.   Similarities: Both are Collections and implement the List interface Both are used to store a dynamic number of elements (Primitive or Object type) Differences ArrayList uses an array data structure internally to store the data. A LinkedList on the other hand, uses a doubly linked list internally as the data structure to store data. If you are not familiar with what a Linked List data structure is, you can refer this link . When you need to insert or delete data from the bottom of the List, an ArrayList is faster. If you need to insert or delete an element from the middle of the list,  a LinkedList is faster. An ArrayList  uses an array to store the data internally. So when you insert or delete an element from the bottom of the list, this does not affect the array. However if you insert or delete an element...
