Understanding Higher-Order Functions: Python Map, Filter, Reduce

The post discusses three important functions in Python: Map, Filter, and Reduce, which are higher-order functions. Map applies a function to every element in an iterable, Filter acts as a filter based on a specific condition, and Reduce aggregates elements into a single value. These functions are valuable for effective data manipulation in Python.

Data Lakes vs Data Warehouses: When to Choose What?

Data lakes store raw, unprocessed data for flexible exploration, real-time analysis, and to disburden data warehousing. Data warehouses organize structured data for business reports, quick access to specific information, and analyzing historical trends. Choosing between them depends on data types, goals, budget, and skills, as there is no one-size-fits-all solution in data storage.

Importance of ‘Assert’ in Python

Python's assert statement often goes unnoticed, but it is a valuable debugging tool. It efficiently checks code correctness during runtime, revealing bugs early in development. However, caution is advised as it should not replace data validation or error handling. Understanding when and how to use assert statements can enhance code maintainability and save time in debugging.
