Dotty – Union Data Types

Hello folks, As we know that dotty is new Scala compiler (also know as Scala 3.0) which is coming with some new features and improvements. To get more details about the dotty and its environment setup. Please follow our beginner guide blog.

In this blog, I will describe you about newly introduced Union data type of dotty and its various properties.

A union is data type, which is denoted by “|” pipe infix operator and it looks like A | B. A union type (A | B) has a values of all values of type A and also all values of type B.

The primary reason for introducing union types in Scala is that they allow us to guarantee that for every set of types, we can always form a finite least upper bound (lub). This is both useful in practice as well as in theory. The type system of Scala 3 (i.e. dotty) is based on the DOT calculus, which has also a union data types.

A union type can also be joined with a non union types and form the finite join types. Like we can define join of a union type T1 | … | Tn as the smallest intersection type of base class instances of T1,…,Tn.

Syntactically, unions follow the same rules as intersections, but have a lower precedence than intersection(&).

Example of Dotty’s Union Types –

You can find the complete example of Dotty Union Type from here.

In this example, we have two case class models:

• UserName
• Password

Both have a common method lookup(). Which display the UserName and Password info on basis of its type calling.

We have also defined a getLoginInfo() method which takes a union type as an argument and return a union type value.

def getLoginInfo(loginInfo: UserName | Password): Password | UserName = {
    loginInfo match {
      case u@UserName(_) =>
        u.lookup
        u
      case p@Password(_) =>
        p.lookup
        p
    }
  }

Union types holds the commutative properties example: A | B =:= B | A

 val value1: UserName | Password = getLoginInfo(UserName("Narayan"))
  val value2: Password | UserName = getLoginInfo(UserName("Narayan"))
  if(value1 == value2) println("Commutative properties satisfy") else 
            println("Commutative properties does not satisfy")

Other Important points are –

• Union type also supports distributive properties over the intersection (&) type.
• Join operation on union types guarantees that the join is always finite.
• The members of a union type are also the members of its join.
• Union type “|” operator has lower precedence than both intersection(&) and type inference pattern (“:”) operators.
• We can effectively use union type in pattern matching.

In next blog we will describe few more new data types of dotty. Like Type lambdas, Match types etc.

Stay Tunes, happy learning !!!

Your Data Architecture: Simple Best Practices for Your Data Strategy

If you accumulate data on which you base your decision-making as an organization, you should probably think about your data architecture and possible best practices.

If you accumulate data on which you base your decision-making as an organization, you most probably need to think about your data architecture and consider possible best practices. Gaining a competitive edge, remaining customer-centric to the greatest extent possible, and streamlining processes to get on-the-button outcomes can all be traced back to an organization’s capacity to build a future-ready data architecture.

In what follows, we offer a short overview of the overarching capabilities of data architecture. These include user-centricity, elasticity, robustness, and the capacity to ensure the seamless flow of data at all times. Added to these are automation enablement, plus security and data governance considerations. These points from our checklist for what we perceive to be an anticipatory analytics ecosystem.

Getting Started With Data Lakes

Frameworks for Efficient Enterprise Analytics

The opportunities big data offers also come with very real challenges that many organizations are facing today. Often, it’s finding the most cost-effective, scalable way to store and process boundless volumes of data in multiple formats that come from a growing number of sources. Then organizations need the analytical capabilities and flexibility to turn this data into insights that can meet their specific business objectives.

This Refcard dives into how a data lake helps tackle these challenges at both ends — from its enhanced architecture that’s designed for efficient data ingestion, storage, and management to its advanced analytics functionality and performance flexibility. You’ll also explore key benefits and common use cases.

Introduction

As technology continues to evolve with new data sources, such as IoT sensors and social media churning out large volumes of data, there has never been a better time to discuss the possibilities and challenges of managing such data for varying analytical insights. In this Refcard, we dig deep into how data lakes solve the problem of storing and processing enormous amounts of data. While doing so, we also explore the benefits of data lakes, their use cases, and how they differ from data warehouses (DWHs).

Basic Data Types in Python | Python Web Development For Beginners

At the end of 2019, Python is one of the fastest-growing programming languages. More than 10% of developers have opted for Python development.

In the programming world, Data types play an important role. Each Variable is stored in different data types and responsible for various functions. Python had two different objects, and They are mutable and immutable objects.

Table of Contents  hide

I Mutable objects

II Immutable objects

III Built-in data types in Python

Mutable objects

The Size and declared value and its sequence of the object can able to be modified called mutable objects.

Mutable Data Types are list, dict, set, byte array

Immutable objects

The Size and declared value and its sequence of the object can able to be modified.

Immutable data types are int, float, complex, String, tuples, bytes, and frozen sets.

id() and type() is used to know the Identity and data type of the object

a**=25+**85j

type**(a)**

output**:<class’complex’>**

b**={1:10,2:“Pinky”****}**

id**(b)**

output**:**238989244168

Built-in data types in Python

a**=str(“Hello python world”)****#str**

b**=int(18)****#int**

c**=float(20482.5)****#float**

d**=complex(5+85j)****#complex**

e**=list((“python”,“fast”,“growing”,“in”,2018))****#list**

f**=tuple((“python”,“easy”,“learning”))****#tuple**

g**=range(10)****#range**

h**=dict(name=“Vidu”,age=36)****#dict**

i**=set((“python”,“fast”,“growing”,“in”,2018))****#set**

j**=frozenset((“python”,“fast”,“growing”,“in”,2018))****#frozenset**

k**=bool(18)****#bool**

l**=bytes(8)****#bytes**

m**=bytearray(8)****#bytearray**

n**=memoryview(bytes(18))****#memoryview**

Numbers (int,Float,Complex)

Numbers are stored in numeric Types. when a number is assigned to a variable, Python creates Number objects.

#signed interger

age**=**18

print**(age)**

Output**:**18

Python supports 3 types of numeric data.

int (signed integers like 20, 2, 225, etc.)

float (float is used to store floating-point numbers like 9.8, 3.1444, 89.52, etc.)

complex (complex numbers like 8.94j, 4.0 + 7.3j, etc.)

A complex number contains an ordered pair, i.e., a + ib where a and b denote the real and imaginary parts respectively).

String

The string can be represented as the sequence of characters in the quotation marks. In python, to define strings we can use single, double, or triple quotes.

# String Handling

‘Hello Python’

#single (') Quoted String

“Hello Python”

# Double (") Quoted String

“”“Hello Python”“”

‘’‘Hello Python’‘’

# triple (‘’') (“”") Quoted String

In python, string handling is a straightforward task, and python provides various built-in functions and operators for representing strings.

The operator “+” is used to concatenate strings and “*” is used to repeat the string.

“Hello”+“python”

output**:****‘Hello python’**

"python "*****2

'Output : Python python ’
