Python Exercise: Check if a given value is present in a set or not

Python sets: Exercise-16 with Solution

Write a Python program to check if a given value is present in a set or not.

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

nums = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11}
print("Original sets(nums): ",nums,"\n")
print("Test if 6 exists in nums:")
print(6 in nums)
print("Test if 7 exists in nums:")
print(7 in nums)
print("Test if 11 exists in nums:")
print(11 in nums)
print("Test if 0 exists in nums:")
print(0 in nums)
print("\nTest if 6 is not in nums")
print(6 not in nums)
print("Test if 7 is not in nums")
print(7 not in nums)
print("Test if 11 is not in nums")
print(11 not in nums)
print("Test if 0 is not in nums")
print(0 not in nums)

Sample Output: 

Original sets(nums):  {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11} 

Test if 6 exists in nums:
False
Test if 7 exists in nums:
True
Test if 11 exists in nums:
True
Test if 0 exists in nums:
False

Test if 6 is not in nums
True
Test if 7 is not in nums
False
Test if 11 is not in nums
False
Test if 0 is not in nums
True

Python: Cache results with decorators

There is a great way to cache functions with decorators in Python. Caching will help save time and precious resources when there is an expensive function at hand.

Implementation is easy, just import lru_cache from functools library and decorate your function using @lru_cache.

from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=None)
def fibo(a):
    if a <= 1:
        return a
    else:
        return fibo(a-1) + fibo(a-2)

for i in range(20):
    print(fibo(i), end="|")

print("\n\n", fibo.cache_info())

Output:

0|1|1|2|3|5|8|13|21|34|55|89|144|233|377|610|987|1597|2584|4181|

 CacheInfo(hits=36, misses=20, maxsize=None, currsize=20)
