The set function in Python relies on the existence of a robust equality operator existing on the elements given to set.
Suppose we had a list of floating point numbers, xs, and we called set(xs). How will set compare the elements of xs? Will it check to see if two elements are within machine epsilon, or will it perform bitwise equality?

I have values from 0-300, I must only project values >50 and <200,
I can do this with both List and Array but I am forced to use a Array for this task,
what is the exact difference between the two in terms on ability?
I was able to do it with both List and Array but still confused between the use of list if you can do the same thing with an Array

I am working on some floating point addition in Python, i found this difference, changing the order of addition changes the value.
v1=2.7776548790102065
v2=2.932026860135167
v3=-2.5635999386901154
v4=-5.884153623433478
v5=0.16152830205880864
v6=2.614447767673556
v7=5.651999753771971
v8=-7.074990233473147
v9=12.624973219138516
print(v1+v2+v3+v4+v5+v6+v7+v8+v9) # 11.239886986191486
print(v1+v4+v7+v2+v5+v8+v3+v6+v9) # 11.239886986191484
can anyhow suggest me how to rectify this?

I need to convert negative number to binary in python.
How can I do it ?
EDIT: I need to use twos complement
bin(-2)
#'-0b10'
Use the built in binfunction to get a binary representation.

I have this function:
def generateRepetition(toR, rate):
return [toR]*rate
If I call it with toR=0.234 the function returns an array in which the number is repeated for rate parameter, however, the number changes in this way:
[0.23399999999999999, 0.23399999999999999, 0.23399999999999999,...]
I do not understand why, anybody has a solution?

Why does Python code use len() function instead of a length method?
(7 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm new to Python and I have a question about the string operations. Is there an over-arching reason that I should understand as to why the lower operation is written as 'variable.lower()' while another one, say length, would be written as 'len(variable)'?
lower is a string method, that is, a function built in to the string object itself. It only applies to string objects.
len is a built in function, that is, a function available in the top namespace. It can be called on many different objects (strings, lists, dicts) and isn't unique to strings.
