Find the Majority Element in Python with Boyer-Moore Vote
Use Boyer-Moore majority vote to find the element appearing more than n/2 times in an array in O(n) time and O(1) space.
def majority_element(nums):
candidate = None
count = 0
for num in nums:
if count == 0:
candidate = num
count += 1 if num == candidate else -1
return candidate
if __name__ == "__main__":
nums = [2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2]
result = majority_element(nums)
print(f"Major…
Pivot long to wide transformation dict
Transform a list of dictionaries from long format to wide format by pivoting on a key column and aggregating values, using pure Python.
def pivot_long_to_wide(rows, key_col, value_col, id_cols=None):
"""
Convert long-format data (list of dicts) to wide format.
Args:
rows: List of dicts in long format
key_col: Column name to pivot on (becomes new column headers)
value_col: Column name whose values become the cel…
Build a Mock Random Forest Classifier in Python
Create a simple random-forest-like classifier with random majority voting between trees, including fit, predict, and predict_proba methods.
import random
class MockRandomForest:
def __init__(self, n_trees=10, random_state=42):
self.n_trees = n_trees
self.random_state = random_state
self.classes_ = None
self._class_counts = None
random.seed(random_state)
def fit(self, X, y):
self.classes_ = sorted(…
