How to Generate Fibonacci Sequence in Python
Generate the first n Fibonacci numbers as a list using a simple iterative loop.
def fibonacci(n):
"""Generate the first n terms of the Fibonacci sequence."""
if n <= 0:
return []
seq = [0, 1]
while len(seq) < n:
seq.append(seq[-1] + seq[-2])
return seq[:n]
if __name__ == "__main__":
n = 10
result = fibonacci(n)
print(result)How to Generate an Arithmetic Progression List in Python
Generates a list of terms in an arithmetic progression using a list comprehension.
def generate_ap(start, difference, count):
"""Generate a list of n terms in an arithmetic progression."""
return [start + i * difference for i in range(count)]
if __name__ == "__main__":
ap = generate_ap(3, 5, 6)
print(ap)Generator Function to Yield an Infinite Counter in Python
This code demonstrates a generator function that yields an infinite sequence of integers starting from a given value, allowing lazy, memory-efficient iteration.
def infinite_counter(start=0):
count = start
while True:
yield count
count += 1
if __name__ == "__main__":
counter = infinite_counter(5)
for _ in range(5):
print(next(counter))How to Create an Infinite Arithmetic Sequence Generator in Python
Build a memory-efficient generator that yields an infinite arithmetic progression and extract the first N values with list comprehension.
"""Count generator infinite arithmetic progression"""
def arithmetic_counter(start=0, step=1):
"""Generate an infinite arithmetic sequence."""
current = start
while True:
yield current
current += step
if __name__ == "__main__":
counter = arithmetic_counter(1, 3)
result = [next(c…How to Reset Python's Random Seed for Deterministic Output
This code shows how to seed Python's random module to generate identical random sequences across runs, ensuring reproducibility.
import random
def seeded_random_sequence(seed, count=5, low=1, high=100):
random.seed(seed)
return [random.randint(low, high) for _ in range(count)]
if __name__ == "__main__":
seed_value = 42
first_run = seeded_random_sequence(seed_value)
print("First run:", first_run)
# Reset seed and gener…Using a Python Generator Instead of a List to Save Memory
Compare a list approach with a generator to stream values lazily, avoiding memory-heavy storage of large sequences.
def fibonacci_generator(limit):
a, b = 0, 1
count = 0
while count < limit:
yield a
a, b = b, a + b
count += 1
def sum_first_n(generator, n):
total = 0
for i, value in enumerate(generator):
if i >= n:
break
total += value
return total
if __…How to Sort Data in Python
Sort sequences with type-safe helpers that handle mixed data with a string fallback.
from typing import Any, TypeVar, Protocol, Sequence, Iterable
T = TypeVar("T")
Comparable = TypeVar("Comparable", bound="Comparable")
class Sortable(Protocol):
def __lt__(self, other: Any) -> bool: ...
S = TypeVar("S", bound=Sortable)
def sort_data(data: Sequence[S], *, reverse: bool = False) -> list[S]:
