Have you ever wondered, advantages of Data over Delta lake ? well, some of the key challenges of Data Lake are eliminated in Delta Lake, and so in this blog, we are going to discuss advantages of Delta Lake over Data Lake and how it works. Firstly, before jumping to…

Welcome to KitKat 101, in this blog we will solve the problem using the data available to us, with the help of Big data components such as Hive, HDFS, Sqoop. Firstly, If you have not seen the Introductory Blog on KitKat Series, please head to https://mihirdhakan.medium.com/introducing-kitkat-series-a-hub-to-practice-big-data-projects-aa782dbbdfb1 Else, keep scrolling 😀…

Are you Interested to work on Big Data Projects ? But, don’t have sufficient resources and confused where to start from ? If yes, then read through and you might find answers. Many a times, people feel helpless for not getting right opportunities to work on technologies they aspire to…

Wonderful ! You have completed the 10 steps milestone. In this step, we will see “Reading Files” in python. Let’s dive in. Reading files in python is one of the common operation you would come across, due to which you need to be familiar with various ways and options of file read operations. Keep a file in your local machine and change the path for reading it while practicing on the Jupyter notebook.

Write once, use many times ; Yes I am going to talk about functions in python now. It’s obvious to have scenarios where multiple times/places in the program the same task needs to be done, that’s where Functions comes into picture. Hi there ! welcome to this step of Functions in Python. In this step, we are going to learn about What are functions?, Types of functions, Using If/else in Functions, Variables and different types of scopes, and lastly quiz.

oops ! Loops ! The most important and widely used feature of any programming language. In simple words, loops are repetitive task humans ask programming languages such as python to do. As simple as that. In this step (very crucial), we will practice what are the available types of loop…

Operators plays vital role while performing any logical or other comparison + calculations, assignments, etc. between or across variables. These operators are of few categories, such as Arithmetic, Logical, Relational and much more. Statements which consists If, else, are converted to programmable python statement using Condition statements. Also, you will learn about Branching in python. Try to co-relate the concepts with real-life events, it would be much easier to grasp.

Yeaaaaa!!! Half century ! Congratulations you have completed 5 baby steps ! Keep up the good work. In this step, we will check out “dictionary” in python, another type which stores Keys + Values. Till now, you had seen the lists, tuples, sets, where you would access the values by its index. However, Dictionary stores the keys for each value defined by user, and later when you need to access you flash your keys to python and you will get your results. Think of it, as real world dictionary — when you need to browse meaning of a particular word, you scan through that letter first and once you get it, you read the meaning of it, same-to-same in python.

Now, after talking about lists, it’s time to checkout “sets” in Python. Key difference between lists and sets is no duplicate values would be allowed to store in sets. Welcome back ! I hope you understood tuples, lists. In this step, we will explore “Set” data type in python, with some operations such as add, remove, IN, “&”, Difference, intersection, union, issuperset, issubset and then some quiz for you to validate what you learnt so far.
