Simple way to find number of perfect square numbers in a range. (Python)

2015-03-05T15:59:30-08:00

Python recipe 579031 by alexander baker (complex, fun, interview, maths, range).

The strategy here is not to iterate through the set of possible integer values and check for is_perfect_square() each time but to translate the upper and lower values to either complex or real space of square numbers.

    # O(n) complexity
    len([x for x in range(0, 100) if x!= 0 and float(math.sqrt(x)).is_integer()])

    so if a and b positive then we count the number of integer values between upper and lower sqrt() values
    if either a or b are negative then we need to use the complex number space for the sqrt() results. In this case
    we are still counting integer values either along the imaginary or real axis, the result is then a simple sum
    if both a and b are negative we need to make sure that when walking down the same imaginary axis we dont count
    the same inteters twice, in this case we can take the min(a,b) to get max distinct set of integer values.

Numbers as Ranges - iterable integers (C++)

2014-10-02T12:13:52-07:00

C++ recipe 578945 by elazar (iterable, range). Revision 2.

This header file makes simple integers iterable. Note that it works only on C++11 or above.

Usage:

#include "num_range.h"
for (int i : 3) cout << i << endl;

Output: 0 1 2

Implementation note: This code is far too generic. We only need DerefableInt. The templates are there for no practical reason.

Cons: pollutes namespace std; nonstandard idiom;

Factorial (Python)

Python recipe 578848 by John (factorial, loop, loops, math, range, simple).

Just a simple factorial program I made in Python 3.

Special Range Function for Different Kinds of Ranges (int, float, character) (Python)

2011-03-30T16:42:47-07:00

Python recipe 577583 by Sunjay Varma (character, float, integer, python, range, special). Revision 3.

This module allows the user to create a more verbose set of ranges. Simple character ranges, and float ranges are supported.

Supported Ranges:

Basic Integer Ranges
Float Ranges (as accurate as a float range can get)
Simple character ranges (lowercase to lowercase, uppercase to uppercase, etc.)

It should work in Python 2 and Python 3.

If you tested this for speed, or want to test this for speed, please post the results! (And your system specs)

Edit: Found a really silly error of mine when using range instead of xrange in these functions!

Generate List of Numbers from Hyphenated and comma separeted string like "1-5,25-30,4,5" (Python)

2010-07-01T02:08:09-07:00

Python recipe 577279 by Siddhant Sanyam (hypen, list, range).

This function takes a range in form of "a-b" and generate a list of numbers between a and b inclusive. Also accepts comma separated ranges like "a-b,c-d,f" will build a list which will include numbers from a to b, a to d and f Example: hyphen_range('54-78') hyphen_range('57-78,454,45,1-10') hyphen_range('94-100,1052,2-50')

Improved range function (Python)

2010-06-07T01:50:20-07:00

Python recipe 577256 by Sunjay Varma (float, python, range, replace). Revision 2.

While using the built-in range function a while ago. I found an odd (perhaps bug) where the range function couldn't use float steps. I am not sure if that was intended for simplicity or not, but I wrote my own range function that goes beyond that anyway.

Floating point range (Python)

2010-02-24T07:12:55-08:00

Python recipe 577068 by Steven D'Aprano (float, math, maths, range).

Generator that produces floats, equivalent to range for integers, minimising rounding errors by using only a single multiplication and addition for each number, and no divisions.

This generator takes an optional argument controlling whether it produces numbers from the open, closed, or half-open interval.

Reversed Ranges (Python)

2014-03-29T12:43:26-07:00

Python recipe 576801 by Tal Einat (iteration, range, reverse). Revision 16.

A simple function for efficiently iterating over ranges in reverse.

This is equivalent to reversed(range(...)) but somewhat more efficient.
