Pair Elements with Next Cyclic Neighbor in Python

Create tuples pairing every element with its next element, wrapping around to the first element for the last one.

pairs cyclic list
Python
def cyclic_pairs(lst):
    if not lst:
        return []
    return [(lst[i], lst[(i + 1) % len(lst)]) for i in range(len(lst))]


if __name__ == "__main__":
    sample = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    result = cyclic_pairs(sample)
    print(result)

How to Build a DAG Execution Stage Calculator in Python

Computes the execution stages of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) by grouping nodes that become ready simultaneously using topological sorting with Kahn's algorithm.

dag topological-sort kahn-algorithm
Python
from collections import defaultdict, deque


def get_stages(edges):
    """Return list of stages, where each stage is a list of nodes
    that become ready at the same time in a DAG."""
    graph = defaultdict(list)
    in_degree = defaultdict(int)
    nodes = set()

    for src, dst in edges:
        graph[src].appen…

Copy-ready Python snippets for learners and developers

PythonSkillset code samples are short, focused examples organised by topic and difficulty. Every snippet is server-rendered HTML — readable by search engines and easy to copy. Open any sample, read the notes, copy the code, then press Try in editor to run it in the browser with Pyodide.

How to use this library

  1. Pick a topic section — strings, lists, files, functions, and more
  2. Open a sample, read How it works, and copy the code block
  3. Run it in the IDE, tweak values, then take a related quiz or tutorial lesson

Samples vs tutorials and challenges

Samples are quick reference — one concept per page. For step-by-step teaching, use our Python tutorials. To test yourself, try quizzes or coding challenges. Clean up style with the Python formatter.
