Checking if two words are anagrams

Code:

from collections import Counter
def is_anagram(str1, str2):
     return Counter(str1) == Counter(str2)
  
# or without having to import anything 
def is_anagram(str1, str2): 
    return sorted(str1) == sorted(str2) 

print(is_anagram('code', 'doce'))
print(is_anagram('python', 'yton'))

Output:
True
False

#Basics

zip() function

When we need to join many iterator objects like lists to get a single list we can use the zip function. The result shows each item to be grouped with their respective items from the other lists.

Example:

Year = (1999, 2003, 2011, 2017)
Month = ("Mar", "Jun", "Jan", "Dec")
Day = (11,21,13,5)
print zip(Year,Month,Day)

Output:
[(1999, 'Mar', 11), (2003, 'Jun', 21), (2011, 'Jan', 13), (2017, 'Dec', 5)]

#Basics

Transpose a Matrix

Transposing a matrix involves converting columns into rows. In python we can achieve it by designing some loop structure to iterate through the elements in the matrix and change their places or we can use the following script involving zip function in conjunction with the * operator to unzip a list which becomes a transpose of the given matrix.

Example:

x = [[31,17],
[40 ,51],
[13 ,12]]
print (zip(*x))

Output:
[(31, 40, 13), (17, 51, 12)]

#Basics

The _ Operator

The _ operator might be something that you might not have heard of. Here _ is the output of the last executed expression. Let’s check how it works.


Example:

>>> 2+ 3
5
>>> _ # the _ operator, it will return the output of the last executed statement.
>>> 5
