Composable Predicates with the &, |, ~ Operators in Python
Define a reusable Predicate class that combines boolean checks with & (AND), | (OR), and ~ (NOT) operators.
class Predicate:
def __init__(self, func, name=None):
self.func = func
self.name = name or getattr(func, "__name__", "predicate")
def __call__(self, value):
return self.func(value)
def __and__(self, other):
return Predicate(lambda v: self(v) and other(v), f"({self.name} AN…Set Matrix Zeroes in Python: Markers List Grid Demo
Given a matrix, this code finds all rows and columns that contain a zero and sets every element in those rows and columns to zero, using boolean marker arrays.
def set_zeroes(matrix):
rows, cols = len(matrix), len(matrix[0])
row_markers = [False] * rows
col_markers = [False] * cols
# First pass: record which rows and columns contain zeros
for i in range(rows):
for j in range(cols):
if matrix[i][j] == 0:
row_markers[i] …How to Use Mock Flip Mutation Testing in Python
Demonstrates how mutation testing tools flip Boolean literals (mock flip) in Python source to verify test suite effectiveness in catching logic changes.
import random
# In mutation testing, a "mock flip" intentionally changes a Boolean
# constant to False (or True) to see if the test suite catches it.
# This is a common "constant mutation" applied to a source file's literals.
def is_even(n: int) -> bool:
"""Return True if n is even. Contains a Boolean literal us…Browse by section
