Please Master These 10 Python Functions…

In this video, I will dive into 10 Python Functions that you NEED to master. Some of them may seem simple, but they have a lot of additional parameters that you need to understand and mastering all of the functions can save you a ton of time when writing any type of code in Python.

For the first time ever i understood how lambda functions work. Thankyou so much Tim!!

Print also takes a file argument to write to a file.

Any chance you could make a video on how to properly study and retain programming? I find myself repeat myself with the same stuff because I can't memorize what I'm learning. It would be amazing to see how you studied and practised programming.

Nice simple explanations that start you thinking of how you can use these functions. Exactly how you want to feel when learning a language.

[christoph]

These "basic" videos are very nice.
Thanks for that one.

I've always been using key argument in sorted function by trial and error. Finally I understood. Thanks Tim great video as usual!

[RemyDelaCruz]

Used some of these for a recent class, and this serves as a refresher! Great content.

[johnbennett]

Using enumerate(tasks, 1) makes the code even cleaner. The second parameter is the start value.

Thanks a lot Tim, it was such a helpful recap for me. Keep up the high quality content.

[legojenn]

Thanks! I never understood lambda functions. I overcomplicated it.

[johnbennett]

Zip takes a strict argument when it is important that the lists are the same length. Without it zip can hide bugs in your list generation.

Hi Tim ! #10 @18:03. I didn't know that I'm able to both read to a file and write from a file ... You'll never stop learning ... 😉

[souris_a_boule]

For the sum function, there is a cool thing you can do with the start argument. You can put any type that support the + operator. So for example if you want to flatten a list of list you can pass it with start=[] and it will get the job done

Extremely helpful video! Thanks so much!

[ralvarezb]

I often use lambda functions with filter and map

[bryce]

Print also as the ever helpful .format() and f strings

[Superstar-nltl]

Why are all the python tutorials explained lightning fast as if I am already a pro and know what it is talking about?

[avvarutheja]

What is the advantage of map and filter functions, the same can be achieved with single line list_comprehension aswell. Curious to know what are the added advantages of using these map & filter functions. My approach for the items discussed in the video are :

strings = ["my", "world", "apple", "pear"]
l_comp = [len(i) for i in strings]
print(l_comp)
l_append = [i + "s" for i in strings]
print(l_append)
l_filterd = [i for i in strings if len(i) >4]
print(l_filterd)

[StrandgaardMorten]

Men der findes mere hensigtsmæssige og plausible metoder. Men tak for den detaljerede lektion, kolleger

[RoyZennet]

Woah that append seems useful for me

Sorry too newbie, just started to learn about 2 days ago
