Building and Manipulating Nested Dictionaries in Python When working with nested dictionaries in Python, it’s often necessary to perform operations that require iterating over the dictionary’s keys and values. In this article, we’ll explore a common use case where you want to add zeros to missing years in a list of dictionaries. Problem Statement Suppose you have a list of dictionaries l as follows: l = [ {"key1": 10, "author": "test", "years": ["2011", "2013"]}, {"key2": 10, "author": "test2", "years": ["2012"]}, {"key3": 14, "author": "test2", "years": ["2014"]} ] Your goal is to create a new list of dictionaries where each dictionary’s years key contains the original values from the input dictionaries, but with zeros added if a particular year is missing.

Temporary Tokens in MySQL: A Comparative Analysis of Two Storage Approaches As a developer, implementing forgot password functionality in a web application can be a challenging task. One crucial aspect to consider is how to store temporary tokens generated for users who have forgotten their passwords. In this article, we will delve into the two main approaches to storing these tokens in MySQL: storing them in an existing table versus creating a new table.

Communicating between a UIView object and a ViewController object in an iPhone App Introduction As mobile app development continues to evolve, the need for seamless communication between different components of an application becomes increasingly important. In this article, we will explore how to achieve this communication between a UIView object (SliderView) and a ViewController object. Background In iOS development, a UIViewController is typically responsible for managing its view hierarchy, handling user input, and updating the app’s UI state.

Understanding Text Slitting in R with Tidyverse Text slitting, also known as data splitting or text separation, is a common task in data analysis and manipulation. It involves dividing a string into two parts based on specific rules or patterns. In this article, we’ll explore the concept of text slitting in R using the tidyverse library. Background and Motivation Text slitting is an essential technique for handling mixed-type data, where some values contain numbers and others are text.

On the other hand, NSAttributedStrings are a feature of macOS’s Quartz Core framework that allows developers to add complex formatting and styling to strings using attributes.

Generating Values in BigQuery Based on Previous Months In this article, we’ll explore how to generate values in BigQuery that are based on previous months. This involves several steps, including filtering data, grouping by email and type, and applying a ranking function to determine the “strongest” value. Background BigQuery is a cloud-based data warehousing platform that allows users to store and analyze large amounts of data. One of its key features is the ability to generate arrays of dates using the GENERATE_DATE_ARRAY function.

Selecting and Sorting Column Values into Columns in New DataFrame In this article, we will explore how to select and sort column values from a given DataFrame into new columns. We will use the popular Python library Pandas, which is widely used for data manipulation and analysis. Understanding the Problem We have a DataFrame that contains words and their bounding boxes on an image, with the image being that of a table.
