  Handling Hierarchical Data with Python Dictionaries 1. Introduction to Hierarchical Data Hierarchical data is organized into a tree-like structure with different levels of depth. Each level contains unique objects that are connected to objects in the level above. This type of data is common in various domains, such as organizational structures, file systems, and biological classifications. 2. Example Data We'll create a 5-level hierarchical data structure. The data represents an organizational hierarchy with departments, teams, managers, employees, and tasks. data = { "Department1": { "TeamA": { "Manager1": { "Employee1": { "Task1": "Complete report", "Task2": "Attend meeting" }, "Employee2": { "Task1": "Write...

  Factorial Explanation and Example Factorial Definition: The factorial of a non-negative integer n is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n. It can be defined recursively as: factorial(0) = 1 (Base Case) factorial(n) = n * factorial(n-1) (Recursive Case) +----------------------------------+ | factorial(n) | | +---------------------------+ | | Base Case: | | | factorial(0) = 1 | | +---------------------------+ | | Recursive Case: | | | factorial(n) = n * | | | factorial(n-1)| | +---------------------------+ +----------------------------------+ Python Code for Factorial def factorial(n): if n == 0: return 1 else: return n * factorial(n - 1) # Example Usage print(factorial(5...

  Correlated Subqueries Let's explore correlated subqueries with the example of finding the 3rd highest salary among 5 employees. A correlated subquery is a subquery that references columns from the outer query. It executes once for each row processed by the outer query. Example Table: Employees ID Name Salary 1 Alice 9000 2 Bob 8000 3 Carol 8500 4 Dave 7000 5 Eve 9500 Query to Find the 3rd Highest Salary SELECT Salary FROM Employees AS E1 WHERE 2 = ( SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Salary) FROM Employees AS E2 WHERE E2.Salary > E1.Salary ) Step-by-Step Wa...

  Understanding Data Structures Performance Data structures are essential for organizing and managing data efficiently. Let's explore various data structures, their operations, and their performance. 1. Types of Time Complexity Constant Time (O(1)): The operation time is independent of the size of the data structure. This means that the operation will take the same amount of time regardless of the number of elements in the data structure. For example, accessing an element in an array using its index is a constant-time operation. Linear Time (O(n)): The operation time increases linearly with the size of the data structure. This means that the operation time is directly proportional to the number of elements. For example, searching for an element in an unsorted array is a linear-time operation. Logarithmic Time (O(log n)): The operation time increases logarithmically with the size of the data structure. This means that the operation time increases slowly as the ...

  Evolution of Large Language Models Large language models have undergone significant evolution over the years. This document will explore the journey from the early Perceptron to modern Large Language Models (LLMs) like transformers. Each stage has contributed to building the next stage, leading to advanced capabilities in natural language processing (NLP). 1. Perceptron Introduction: The Perceptron is the simplest form of a neural network and was introduced in 1958. Concept: It consists of a single layer of neurons (nodes) with adjustable weights and a bias. It can classify input data into one of two categories. Technical Building Blocks: Input Layer: Receives input features (X1, X2, ..., Xn). Weighted Sum: Each input is multiplied by a corresponding weight and summed up along with a bias term. Activation Function: A function (e.g., step function) that determines the output based on the weighted sum. +------------------...

  Understanding Loops in Python Loops are a fundamental concept in programming that allow us to repeat a block of code multiple times. They are useful for tasks that involve repetitive actions. 1. Main Points About Loops For Loop: Used to iterate over a sequence (such as a list, tuple, dictionary, set, or string) and execute a block of code for each item in the sequence. While Loop: Repeats a block of code as long as a specified condition is true. Break Statement: Exits the loop prematurely if a certain condition is met. Continue Statement: Skips the current iteration and moves to the next iteration of the loop. 2. Creating a Math Table Using a Simple For Loop Let's create a simple math table using a for loop in Python. This example will print the multiplication table for the number 5. Python Code # Multiplication table for number 5 num = 5 for i in range(1, 11): print(num * i) Output ...
