Arrays and Lists in Python

Image
Data Structures are fundamental tools and concepts for any programmer. Python has a number of important Data Structures such as List, Tuples and Dictionary. Today I feel obliged to share something about Arrays and Lists in python. In Python, there are no  native array data structure, but it has a more generalised data structure that can serve the purpose of arrays called List. List can also be implemented as a multidimensional array. This article basically entails the difference between arrays and lists and how we can used list as arrys in python. Advanced libraries in Python such as NumPy, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib.      basics of lists A list in Python is just an ordered collection of items which can be of any type. By comparison an array is an ordered collection of items of a single type - so in principle a list is more flexible than an array To define a list you simply write a comma separated list of items in square brackets:   fruits=[banana,ora...

                                              In a major advancement in nanomedicine, Arizona State University (ASU) scientists, in collaboration with researchers from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST), of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have successfully programmed nanorobots to shrink tumors by cutting off their blood supply. "We have developed the first fully autonomous, DNA robotic system for a very precise drug design and targeted cancer therapy," said Hao Yan, director of the ASU Biodesign Institute's Center for Molecular Design and Biomimetics and the Milton Glick Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences. "Moreover, this technology is a strategy that can be used for many types of cancer, since al...
