Python: weird iterator behaviour after filtering out empty strings
Tags: python, iterators, string, filter
Published: 2019-11-01 17:27:55

I was fiddling around with Python trying to learn some basics and while making a string replacer script I ran across a weird problem.
The following script was supposed to replace all instances of "Input" by each element in subs and print out all the replaced strings.

```python
text = """
MyInput = GetSubsystem<Input>();
extern Input* MyInput;
Input* MyInput = 0;
"""
texts = text.split("\n");
texts = filter(None,texts)#commenting this out fixes the iteration??
original = "Input";
subs = ["Time","WorkQueue","FileSystem","Log"]
sortbysubs = 1
separate = 0
print("number of subs:{} \n".format(len(subs)))
if (sortbysubs):
    for s in subs:
        for t in texts:
            print(t.replace(original,s))
        if separate:print("")
else:
    for t in texts:
        for s in subs:
            print(t.replace(original,s))
        if separate:print("")
```

When **sortbysubs = 0**, it seems to work correctly: printing each line of text with each element in subs, and filtering out the empties beforehand.

When **sortbysubs = 1**, it only prints each text for the first element of subs.

Somehow there is a difference betweem printing "for s for t" rather than "for t for s".

Further more, this behaviour only emerges when filtering the texts for empties.
Commenting out the line **"texts = filter(None,texts)"** results in the problem disappearing.

Can anyone shed light on what exactly is happening here and how to fix it?

An array is one of the most widely recognized ideas of Javascript, which gives us plenty of potential outcomes to work with information put away inside. Mulling over that array is one of the most fundamental themes in Javascript which you find out about toward the start of your programming way.

In this article, I might want to show you a couple of stunts that you may not think about and which might be useful in coding! We should begin. 

*Full article source: https://www.decipherzone.com/blog-detail/javascript-array*

##[Top 13 useful JavaScript Array Tips for Developers](https://www.decipherzone.com/blog-detail/javascript-array)

Here are the top 13 useful JavaScript array methods for developers.

*How to remove duplicates from an array 

*How to change a particular value in an array

*How to use Map array without .map()

*To empty an array

*How to convert an array to an object

*How to fulfill an array with data

*How to merge arrays

*How to find the intersection of two arrays

*How to remove falsy values from an array

*How to get random value form the array

*How to reverse an array

*JavaScript's .lastIndexOf() method

*How to sum all the values in the array

###1. How to remove duplicates from an array
 
It's a famous inquiry question about Javascript arrays, how to remove the exceptional qualities from Javascript array. Here is a snappy and simple answer for this issue, you can utilize another Set() for this reason. What's more, I might want to give both of you potential approaches to do it, one with .from() strategy and second with spread administrator (…).

var fruits = [“banana”, “apple”, “orange”, “watermelon”, “apple”, “orange”, “grape”, “apple”];


// First method
var uniqueFruits = Array.from(new Set(fruits));
console.log(uniqueFruits); // returns [“banana”, “apple”, “orange”, “watermelon”, “grape”]
// Second method
var uniqueFruits2 = […new Set(fruits)];
console.log(uniqueFruits2); // returns [“banana”, “apple”, “orange”, “watermelon”, “grape”]


###2. How to change a particular value in an array

![](https://i.snap.as/UtQlUtv.jpg)

Today I'm starting my development journey with [Svelte](https://svelte.dev/). I'm getting my local development environment set up with Visual Studio code, I'm going through my [Udemy tutorials](https://www.udemy.com/share/101YaQAEYSdFha/), and I'm going to see if I can get a simple deployment through Netlify. I'm going to go through this [Medium article about deployment](https://medium.com/@edades/simple-svelte-demo-deployed-in-netlify-9f1817452903) which I think will complete the picture for me.

I'm kinda jumping the gun here a little. Why am I even doing this? I have been working on an Interactive Fiction tool called [STIM](https://stim.netlify.com/) as a way to create something using web technologies to make game making tools.

I originally implemented it with a mix of Vanilla JS and a simple framework called [Torus](https://thesephist.github.io/torus/) which I highly recommend if you are whipping up a quick demo of a web app.

But now that I'm getting more serious about things, I want something more supported in the web dev community, something fast and advanced, and something to help me keep up to speed in the world of webdev.

Svelte caught my eye right away as it sticks to KISS and web standards, as well as taking a novel approach to web development by not downloading a huge runtime to the browser, but instead you “compile” your app locally ( or remotely with [Sapper](https://sapper.svelte.dev/) ) and it builds a small, fast, server rendered when needed app.

It takes the best from React, Vue, and it's own ideas and makes developing components fun again.

I'm only just starting to learn about its features, which is why I'm blogging about it here!

If you want to see a quick demo of what Svelte can do, check out [this demo](https://svelte.dev/repl/153bbcac104f42569bcf82a1fb4ad94e?version=3.12.1) from the Svelte REPL.

How to create a website: The easy part

series: How to create a website

My previous article was about the core technologies one has to know to create a website from scratch or modifying an existing one. But it takes time before one can be comfortable in these and developing a website using just HTML, CSS and JavaScript can be a tedious process. For one that is not experienced, there are easier ways to build a website.

# CMS: Easy Configuration

The first solution is to use a CMS (Content Management System). A CMS is a framework that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you, mainly the database. They come with a theme engine (allowing you to easily change the interface of the website), a plugin ecosystem (to add supplementary features to the built-in ones) and an admin panel for an easy configuration.

One of the most popular ones is [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/). It is mostly used for blogging sites, but it is more versatile than that. There are also more specialised ones like [Magento](https://magento.com/products/magento-open-source) for eCommerce and [Moodle](https://moodle.org/) for eLearning. There are a lot of CMSs and you only have to choose what fits more your needs.

But remember that although CMS are user-friendly tools, allowing a non-developer to manipulate the site, they are a development framework too. To get the most out of the CMS, you'd have to learn it fully and often you will see the need to develop some plugin to tie everything together or to rewrite a theme for visual that fits your brand. 

# Builder: For the non-dev

But maybe a full-fledged CMS is not needed, especially if your content does not change often and you only want a way to display them. So what you need is a site builder. Site builders come with a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor and a library of widgets. Some also provide you with a collection of templates to choose from and edit later. Some allow you to edit the style by adding custom CSS or setting the value of a subset of the styling properties.

An example of a site builder is [Wix](https://www.wix.com/). Another one is [Squarespace](https://www.squarespace.com/). They offer a no-code environment for people that do not need complicated features on their website and are fine with the default those platforms provide.

---

As you have seen, you do not always need to go the tedious way of writing everything from scratch. It's often faster to go to with a CMS or a website builder. As a developer, the most efficient solution is not always the one you implement by yourself.

series: Web Accessibility for All
---
Yesterday evening, I decided to assess the level of accessibility of a number government websites in my country (Kenya). These websites are key in facilitating the provision of essential services for its citizens and the outcome was heartbreaking. None of the websites checked were accessible nor did the content make any sense (I used ChromeVox Classic Extension Screen Reader) . Visually, the navigation,links, headings and images existed but ChromeVox recognized none of the elements. This means that an individual with visual impairment would find it impossible to navigate any of the websites. 

Currently, a large number of tools, websites and apps are created with accessibility barriers that make it challenging to use.According to data provided by the [World Bank Organization] (https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/disability) (October,2019), approximately 15% of the  global population lives/experiences some form of disability. This data brings to attention the importance of having accessible tools and sites so as to ensure that a section of users are not excluded from using its products or services.

##What is Web Accessibility?

Web Accessibility refers to websites, tools and technologies that are designed and developed so that individuals with disabilities can use them comfortably. This means that such individuals can interpret, understand, navigate and interact with web (and other technological tools) with ease.

##Disabilities That Affect Access to the Web
+Auditory
+Cognitive
+Neurological
+Physical
+Speech
+Visual

**Accessibility also supports social inclusion for:-**

+Older individuals.
+Individuals in rural areas.
+Individuals in developing countries
+Individuals experiencing constant poor internet connections.
+Temporary injuries.
+Individuals using devices with smaller screens such as Smart Watches.



It is necessary for developers and organizations to ensure that their sites are accessible in order to provide equal access as well as equal opportunities to individuals with diverse abilities.

There is a lot to cover on the Web Accessibility. Stay tuned as we embark on this journey together!!
