How to Find Best Locations for your Restaurants with Python

Solve a Set Covering Problem with CVXPY

Motivation

After simulating real-life events in your restaurant, your restaurant starts to attract more customers so you decided to open chain restaurants at other locations.

Since many customers prefer to eat close by, you want your restaurants to be at most 15 miles away from areas 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The optimal solution is to build a minimal number of restaurants that are within 15 miles of all other areas.

Provided that your restaurants can only be placed at areas 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, which locations should you build your restaurants?

This is called the set covering problem. In this article, you will learn how to solve this problem using CVXPY.

What is CVXPY?

CVXPY is a Python-embedded modeling language for convex optimization problems like the one above. It is similar to PuLP, but its syntax is simpler and more intuitive.

Lambda, Map, Filter functions in python

Welcome to my Blog, In this article, we will learn python lambda function, Map function, and filter function.

Lambda function in python: Lambda is a one line anonymous function and lambda takes any number of arguments but can only have one expression and python lambda syntax is

Syntax: x = lambda arguments : expression

Now i will show you some python lambda function examples:

Python Tricks Every Developer Should Know

Python is awesome, it’s one of the easiest languages with simple and intuitive syntax but wait, have you ever thought that there might ways to write your python code simpler?

In this tutorial, you’re going to learn a variety of Python tricks that you can use to write your Python code in a more readable and efficient way like a pro.

Let’s get started

Swapping value in Python

Instead of creating a temporary variable to hold the value of the one while swapping, you can do this instead

>>> FirstName = "kalebu"
>>> LastName = "Jordan"
>>> FirstName, LastName = LastName, FirstName 
>>> print(FirstName, LastName)
('Jordan', 'kalebu')

How to Remove all Duplicate Files on your Drive via Python

Today you’re going to learn how to use Python programming in a way that can ultimately save a lot of space on your drive by removing all the duplicates.

Intro

In many situations you may find yourself having duplicates files on your disk and but when it comes to tracking and checking them manually it can tedious.

Heres a solution

Instead of tracking throughout your disk to see if there is a duplicate, you can automate the process using coding, by writing a program to recursively track through the disk and remove all the found duplicates and that’s what this article is about.

But How do we do it?

If we were to read the whole file and then compare it to the rest of the files recursively through the given directory it will take a very long time, then how do we do it?

The answer is hashing, with hashing can generate a given string of letters and numbers which act as the identity of a given file and if we find any other file with the same identity we gonna delete it.

There’s a variety of hashing algorithms out there such as

• md5
• sha1
• sha224, sha256, sha384 and sha512
