What do you think is the output of the following code fragment? Is there any error in the code?

list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
print (list[10:])
  • The result of the above lines of code is []. There won’t be any error like an IndexError.
  • You should know that trying to fetch a member from the list using an index that exceeds the member count (for example, attempting to access list[10] as given in the question) would yield an IndexError.

How to use yield - generator?

  • You want to define a function with a generator which can iterate the numbers, which are divisible by 7 within range(n).

code:

    for i in range(n):
        if i % div == 0:
            yield i
DIVIDER = 7
RANGE = 50

print [n for n in getNum(RANGE, DIVIDER)]

Output:

[0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49]

Which cassandra python pacakge to be used?

  • Pycassa is an older python driver that is thrift based while python-driver is a newer CQL3 driver based on cassandra's binary protocol. Thrift isn't going away but it has become a legacy API in cassandra so my advice going forward is to use the newer python driver.
