  1. Head First Python: Ch 5. Comprehending Data: Work that Data ! Aug 30, 2013 Inhoe Lee

  2. Outline • Coach Kelly needs your help • Sort in one of two ways • The trouble with time • Comprehending lists • Iterate to remove duplicates • Remove duplicates with sets • Your Python Toolbox

  3. Coach Kelly needs your help • Coach needs a quick way to know the top three fastest times for each athlete

  4. What you need to do • Open the file • Read the line of data • Convert the data to a list • Display the four lists on screen • Coach_1.py

  5. Coach Kelly needs your help • Represented by four lists in Python’s memory • Require you to sort it

  6. Sort in one of two ways • In-place sorting • Replace original data • Original ordering is lost • sort() • Copied sorting • Return a sorted copy of original data • Original data’s ordering is maintained • sorted()

  7. Practice • In-place sorting • Copied sorting

  8. Sorting • Update the code • Coach_2.py

  9. Sorting • Result • Data values are now uniform • Periods, dashes, and colons • Need to fix data

  10. The trouble with time • Raw data • Read from file • After sorting

  11. Sanitize • Sanitizing function

  12. Sanitize • Coach_3.py

  13. Sanitize • Output • Sorted, uniformly formatted • But, duplicated code

  14. Comprehending lists • Transform one list into another

  15. Comprehending lists

  16. Comprehending lists • Coach_4.py

  17. List slicing • List slice • What about removing duplicates from list?

  18. Iterate to remove duplicates

  19. Iterate to remove duplicates • coach_5.py

  20. Remove duplicates with sets • Set removes duplicate automatically • Coach_6.py

  21. Factory Function • Factory Function • make new data items of a particular type. • For instance, “set()” • In the real world, factories make things, hence the name.

  22. Your Python Toolbox • Sort() • In-place sorting • Sorted() • Copied sorting • Reverse=True • Arrange data in descending order • My_list[3:6] • Access from location3 up-to-but-not-including location6 • Set() • Create a set
