How slicing in Python works

The syntax is: a[start:stop] # items start through stop-1 a[start:] # items start through the rest of the array a[:stop] # items from the beginning through stop-1 a[:] # a copy of the whole array There is also the step value, which can be used with any of the above: a[start:stop:step] # start through not … Read more

How to delete an element from a Slice in Golang

Order matters If you want to keep your array ordered, you have to shift all of the elements at the right of the deleting index by one to the left. Hopefully, this can be done easily in Golang: func remove(slice []int, s int) []int { return append(slice[:s], slice[s+1:]…) } However, this is inefficient because you … Read more

Linq to Objects – return pairs of numbers from list of numbers

None of the default linq methods can do this lazily and with a single scan. Zipping the sequence with itself does 2 scans and grouping is not entirely lazy. Your best bet is to implement it directly: public static IEnumerable<T[]> Partition<T>(this IEnumerable<T> sequence, int partitionSize) { Contract.Requires(sequence != null) Contract.Requires(partitionSize > 0) var buffer = … Read more

How can a slice contain itself?

Slice containing itself Besides a recursive type (such as type Foo []Foo, see ANisus’s answer) which is good for nothing besides demonstration, a slice may contain itself if for example the element type of the slice is interface{}: s := []interface{}{“one”, nil} s[1] = s In this example the slice s will have 2 interface … Read more

Numpy: views vs copy by slicing

The accepted answer by John Zwinck is actually false (I just figured this out the hard way!). The problem in the question is a combination of doing “l-value indexing” with numpy’s fancy indexing. The following doc explains exactly this case https://scipy-cookbook.readthedocs.io/items/ViewsVsCopies.html in the section “But fancy indexing does seem to return views sometimes, doesn’t it?” … Read more

Slice chunking in Go

You don’t need to make new slices, just append slices of logs to the divided slice. http://play.golang.org/p/vyihJZlDVy var divided [][]string chunkSize := (len(logs) + numCPU – 1) / numCPU for i := 0; i < len(logs); i += chunkSize { end := i + chunkSize if end > len(logs) { end = len(logs) } divided … Read more
