HackerRank Python Solution - Sets - .intersection() operation

.intersection():

• The .intersection() operator returns the intersection of a set and the set of elements in an iterable. Sometimes, the & operator is used in place of the .intersection() operator, but it only operates on the set of elements in the set.

• The set is immutable to the .intersection() operation (or & operation).

HackerRank Python Solution - Sets - .union() Operation

.union():

• The .union() operator returns the union of a set and the set of elements in an iterable. Sometimes, the | operator is used in place of .union() operator, but it operates only on the set of elements in set.

• Set is immutable to the .union() operation (or | operation).

HackerRank Python Solution - Sets - .discard(), .remove() & .pop()

.remove(x):

• This operation removes element x from the set.

• If element x does not exist, it raises a KeyError.

• The .remove(x) operation returns None.

Example:

>>> s = set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> s.remove(5)
>>> print s
set([1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> print s.remove(4)
None
>>> print s
set([1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> s.remove(0)
KeyError: 0

HackerRank Python Solution - Sets - .add()

• If we want to add a single element to an existing set, we can use the .add() operation.

• It adds the element to the set and returns 'None'.

Example:

>>> s = set('HackerRank')
>>> s.add('H')
>>> print s
set(['a', 'c', 'e', 'H', 'k', 'n', 'r', 'R'])
>>> print s.add('HackerRank')
None
>>> print s
set(['a', 'c', 'e', 'HackerRank', 'H', 'k', 'n', 'r', 'R'])

HackerRank Python Solution - Sets - Introduction to Sets

• A set is an unordered collection of elements without duplicate entries.

• When printed, iterated, or converted into a sequence, its elements will appear in an arbitrary order.

Example: 

>>> print set()
set([])

>>> print set('HackerRank')
set(['a', 'c', 'e', 'H', 'k', 'n', 'r', 'R'])

>>> print set([1,2,1,2,3,4,5,6,0,9,12,22,3])
set([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 22])

>>> print set((1,2,3,4,5,5))
set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

>>> print set(set(['H','a','c','k','e','r','r','a','n','k']))
set(['a', 'c', 'r', 'e', 'H', 'k', 'n'])

>>> print set({'Hacker' : 'DOSHI', 'Rank' : 616 })
set(['Hacker', 'Rank'])

>>> print set(enumerate(['H','a','c','k','e','r','r','a','n','k']))
set([(6, 'r'), (7, 'a'), (3, 'k'), (4, 'e'), (5, 'r'), (9, 'k'), (2, 'c'), (0, 'H'), (1, 'a'), (8, 'n')])

HackerRank Python Solution - Classes - Find the Torsional Angle

• You are given four points A, B, C, and D in a 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. You are required to print the angle between the plane made by the points A, B, C and B, C, D in degrees(not radians). Let the angle be PHI.

• Cos(PHI) = (X.Y)/|X||Y| where X = AB x BC and Y= BC x CD.

• Here, X.Y means the dot product of  X and Y, and AB x BC means the cross product of vectors AB and BC. Also, AB = B - A.

Input Format:

• One line of input containing the space-separated floating number values of the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a point.

HackerRank Python Solution - Classes - Dealing with Complex Numbers

• For this challenge, you are given two complex numbers, and you have to print the result of their addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus operations.

• The real and imaginary precision parts should be correct up to two decimal places.

Input Format:

One line of input: The real and imaginary part of a number separated by a space.
