This is a good thing to try in prep for an interview or just general skills in python. Even if you are not asked in an interview to do this, it is still a good skill to know how to do it.

By defining a function for this, we can create a system that will more easily reverse any string. Creating a function is also more code friendly because it is more general.

In Python, dictionaries are powerful resources that are capable of storing a lot of information. I. this post, I will show you how to create a dictionary with multiple elements and how to delete one of those items.

If you have read my other posts about stock information retrieval, then you’ll be happy to know there is a MUCH simpler way to get the information you want in fewer lines of code. This code is easier to read and takes less time to process. If you have not read my other posts, then you’re in luck because you get to skip to the easy version!

In my previous method to retrieve information, I created a web scraper that would take all the information from Yahoo Finance’s web page. Although it was not the easiest thing to make, it…

Creating a dictionary in python is a useful tool that can be applied to machine learning hyper tuning and grid searching. In this blog, I’ll go over how to create a dictionary, go through it, and add items to it.
