What is a For Loop?

A for loop in Python is utilized to make repeated use of a function or procedure, applying it each time to the result of the previous sequence. This repeating process is called iteration. The for loop checks each iteration until a condition is met. Typically these are used when we have to run a block of code duplicating it X number of times. Each time it iterates over a sequence, it re-executes the code.

As the Internet of Things expands quickly, many devices connect to the web and transmit time series data. As a result, industries are interested in creating time series databases with unique management and analytical features.

What is a Python Function? 

In this tutorial, we discuss one of the most useful attributes of Python: the function. Python functions are considered “First Class” objects. A First Class object can be assigned to variables, stored in data structures, passed as arguments to other functions, or even return values from other functions. Other examples of First Class objects in Python are integers, strings, and dictionaries.

In this article, we will explore the newest methods to install or update to the latest version of Python on our Ubuntu system. 

What is Apache Spark?

Apache Spark is a distributed open-source, general-purpose framework for clustered computing. It is designed with computational speed in mind, from machine learning to stream processing to complex SQL queries. It can easily process and distribute work on large datasets across multiple computers.

What is Jupyter Notebook?

Jupyter Notebook is an extremely powerful open-source, web-based tool that facilitates the creation of documentation. There are many different avenues to provide technical documentation or demonstrations, but Jupyter Notebook makes it possible to embed visualizations and execute live code. It is useful to be able to utilize documentation to describe development concepts or planning, but providing working examples within documentation can be a more effective way of conveying information. This tutorial will cover how to install Jupyter Notebook on an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server and connect to it remotely via an SSH tunnel.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a term to describe a branch of computer science that is dedicated to creating intelligent machines that would learn to work and react like humans. The field of Artificial Intelligence is not limited to creating only high levels of machine learning, but also to utilize data input in a manner required to produce a needed result. AI has multiple varieties and characteristics. Some of these types are noted as follows.

In this tutorial, we will consider how to enable both Python 2 and Python 3 for use on CentOS 8. In earlier distributions of CentOS, an unversioned Python command was available by default. 

Python is a general-purpose programming language designed for various uses. For example, websites, industrial robotics, and even games all use the same core technology.

In this tutorial, we are going to take a look at how to get started with TensorFlow on CentOS. We will be covering two methods. First, we will take a look at installing TensorFlow in a Python virtual environment via the Python package manager pip. After that, we will walk through installing TensorFlow via the Anaconda package manager. Finally, we will cover building a TensorFlow pip package from source.
