Composable Predicates with the &, |, ~ Operators in Python

Define a reusable Predicate class that combines boolean checks with & (AND), | (OR), and ~ (NOT) operators.

Python
class Predicate:
    def __init__(self, func, name=None):
        self.func = func

How to Create a Data Splitter Class in Python

This code defines a DataSplitter class that splits data by index, into chunks, or by a predicate, demonstrating OOP principles in Python.

class data-splitting slicing
Python
class DataSplitter:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = list(data)
    
    def split_by_index(self, index):
        return self.data[:index], self.data[index:]
    
    def split_into_chunks(self, chunk_size):
        return [self.data[i:i + chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(self.data), chunk_size)]

How to filter a generator with a predicate function in Python

This code defines a generator function that yields only items from an iterable that satisfy a given predicate, then tests it with even and positive number filters.

generators filtering lazy evaluation
Python
def filter_gen(predicate, iterable):
    for item in iterable:
        if predicate(item):
            yield item

def is_even(num):
    return num % 2 == 0

def is_positive(num):
    return num > 0

if __name__ == "__main__":
    numbers = range(-5, 10)
    
    even_numbers = list(filter_gen(is_even, numbers))

Mock Predicate Pushdown in Python for Big Data Queries

Simulate predicate pushdown by applying filters at the storage layer before materializing rows, showing how big data engines optimize queries.

class Query:
    def __init__(self, table, rows):
        self.table = table
        self.rows = rows

    def filter(self, predicate):
        return Query(
            self.table,
            [row for row in self.rows if all(predicate(row) for predicate in predicate)]
        )
