I have a piece of code here that is supposed to return the least common element in a list of elements, ordered by commonality: def getSingle(arr): from collections import Counter c = Counte...
The first way works for a list or a string; the second way only works for a list, because slice assignment isn't allowed for strings. Other than that I think the only difference is speed: it looks like it's a little faster the first way. Try it yourself with timeit.timeit () or preferably timeit.repeat ().
A List uses an internal array to handle its data, and automatically resizes the array when adding more elements to the List than its current capacity, which makes it more easy to use than an array, where you need to know the capacity beforehand.
For example list and start of containers are now subcommands of docker container and history is a subcommand of docker image. These changes let us clean up the Docker CLI syntax, improve help text and make Docker simpler to use. The old command syntax is still supported, but we encourage everybody to adopt the new syntax.
Also, in the web version of Gmail in a desktop/laptop, click the Contacts icon in the right hand side bar. It will open showing the contacts in the current highlighted email; there is a drop down menu there, select "Contacts". All contacts will be seen, various options then available.
(List<Customer>)(Object)list; you must be sure that at runtime the list contains nothing but Customer objects. Critics say that such casting indicates something wrong with your code; you should be able to tweak your type declarations to avoid it. But Java generics is too complicated, and it is not perfect. Sometimes you just don't know if there is a pretty solution to satisfy the compiler ...
list_of_values doesn't have to be a list; it can be set, tuple, dictionary, numpy array, pandas Series, generator, range etc. and isin() and query() will still work.
A list of lists would essentially represent a tree structure, where each branch would constitute the same type as its parent, and its leaf nodes would represent values.
