Question:

9 - 4 =

Answer:

There are a few other ways to make this easier.

1. Keep the remainder as an argument.

You can do that by rewriting your divmod() function like this:

def divmod(x, y):
    return x, (y % x)

>>> divmod(-3, 2)
(-3, 0)

or with a "special case" for when y == 0

def divmod_zero(x, y):
if y != 0:
return x, y
else:
return x, 0

>>> divmod_zero(-3, 2)
(-3, 0)

  • Remember, you're only allowed to call your functions on exactly one of the arguments -- so if we have another test in our function, it will fail!

2. Make them into methods.

This is just a small tweak of what we did above -- instead of having a single global divmod method, we now create two methods for each version.

For example, we could

There are a few things that you should take into consideration.

Keep the number of files to an absolute minimum. The more files, the more time it will take for your application to start up because of the disk seek times and the extra data being transferred over the network.
If you don’t need a distinct file per user, then there is no real benefit in using id instead of _id.
You might want to do some testing with Apache Log4J. It has features like buffering and rolling logs which can help reduce I/O latency by storing several log entries before rotating them out of memory.
Because the files may be huge, I would not recommend reading the entire file at once. Instead have a script read small chunks of data (around 500 bytes).
Finally, try to avoid writing large amounts of data to disk if you don’t really need it. If possible, save only what is absolutely necessary in order to keep memory consumption down as much as possible…

I read a blog post saying it gave similar results as ChatGPT. wow
