Basic coding in Python involves understanding syntax, data types, and control structures to solve problems effectively.
Python uses indentation to define code blocks, unlike other languages that use braces.
Common data types include integers, floats, strings, and lists. Example: myList = [1, 2, 3]
Control structures like if-else statements and loops (for, while) are essential for flow control. Example: for i in range...
Program to display patterns using arrays of strings
Use nested loops to iterate through rows and columns of the array
Fill the array with characters to create the desired pattern
Print each row of the array to display the pattern
Bubble sort is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements and swaps them if they are in the wrong order.
Initialize an array of strings to be sorted
Use nested loops to compare adjacent elements and swap them if necessary
Repeat the process until the array is sorted
What people are saying about TCS
Code to build a pyramid in Java using nested loops
Use nested loops to print spaces and stars in each row
Increment the number of stars and decrease the number of spaces in each row
Handle the pyramid height dynamically
Protocol is a set of rules that govern the communication between devices in a network.
Protocol defines the format, timing, sequencing, and error checking of data transmission.
Examples of protocols include TCP/IP, HTTP, FTP, and SMTP.
Protocols ensure that devices can communicate effectively and understand each other's messages.
In Java, public, private, and protected are access modifiers used to control the visibility of classes, methods, and variables.
public: accessible from any other class
private: accessible only within the same class
protected: accessible within the same package and subclasses
Example: public class MyClass {}
Example: private int myVar;
Example: protected void myMethod() {}
A simple star pattern program demonstrates the use of loops to create a visual representation of stars in a structured format.
Use nested loops: An outer loop for rows and an inner loop for columns.
Example: For 5 rows, the outer loop runs 5 times.
In the inner loop, print '*' for each column in the current row.
Add a newline after each row to move to the next line.
Data structures are used in various real-life scenarios to organize and manage data efficiently.
Phone contacts stored in a hash table for quick access
Employee records stored in a linked list for easy insertion and deletion
File system organized as a tree structure for hierarchical storage
Swap two variables values without using third variable
Use XOR operation to swap two variables without using a third variable
Example: a = 5, b = 10. a = a XOR b, b = a XOR b, a = a XOR b
Ensure variables are not the same to avoid getting zero as result
