Here are a few not-so-common things you can do with functions in Python, including closures and partial function application. Functions are incredibly powerful and you can use them to write code that's really clean and often a lot shorter than when relying on classes and object-oriented programming.

I guess it matters how you define the function of the bread. I may be partial to German bread and will happily eat it by itself, but there's an argument to be made that, say, certain French breads shine as part of a breakfast. With American bread, islice it and toast it and it slaps. Italian bread is in a class of its own. I haven't tried Dutch bread, I gotta find some, I wonder if they import it here. And to give y'all some closure, I'm sure any bread from any country can be great if combined with the right ingredients

Dutch bread, it’s simply a slice of very soft very limp toast called Roti … maybe that’s why a Dutch can’t understand other countries being fond of their bread … I’ve been living in Indonesia and they had adopted Dutch bread-making habits, while Vietnam for example offer baguette due to the French, and none of them compares to German variety of course …. 😜

Great video, Arjan. I also use the functools a lot, e.g. partial. What I really love about Python is that it supports many different approaches and does not force you to use a single one. As a developer I can choose between many different approaches, and choose the one that I think is the best to solve my current problem. Python lets me express myself in code directly in various ways.

Hi Arjan! Thanks for all your work teaching and coding! I came accross partial when I was working with python's multiprocessing library for performing a task with many files with some "standard" parameters that were the same for each and some "variable" parameters (such as the dataframe) that were unique to each process. This video gave me a better context of what partial actually is/does, and it's helping me with an NLP project refactor. 😄

Little Vim tip: full stop (.) repeats your last action. This includes entering insert mode and typing things. e.g. at 6:10 you type out "_avg" twice. You could instead just type it once, navigate to the next function, then press . and that'll type out "_avg" again for you. Same with _minmax a few seconds later! Edit: Just watched the part about partial functions. Can't believe I've never seen them before, they seem like such a useful tool!

But also in vscode you can edit hundreds of lines at once (and I have done so in a productive way before)... I take people who talk about vim/emacs being best in the same way I take people talking up the King James Version. Sure, it's the Bible, but the language is archaic and outdated. Vim is great, but so is vscode. And this is coming from someone who is efficient in both. I definitely prefer vscode.

People think Emacs is old, but they forget that it was built by a whole bunch of smart hackers who lived and breathed coding, knew what they were doing, and were not beholden to marketing managers at any company. For example, they used an advanced programming language (LISP), which can still scare the pants off the Java/C♯/PHP crowd today. Does the automation language in _your_ favourite editor understand closures and lexical binding? (Interestingly, the sort of concepts discussed in this very video.)

For smaller things (indenting the whole file, removing indentation, adding comma to the and of lines, join all the lines, removing every fifth lines with macro) I just start a Vim in command line.

Good stuff here. I hadn't come across partial before either. I feel like you could have squeezed in a mention on decorators. Yes the closure construct is a little clumsy, but using the decorator syntax, it's a little less clunky. It seems to me that partial is used when you need more granular customization, where as a decorator helps with a more general replacement. Good video, thank you!

The partial function calls looked really practical. Though I can't really recall seing anything like that in other coding languages. A more generic way of dealing with varying parameters would potentially be to pass in a generic payload class, then cast that to the expected version inside the function.

Even if I'm not yet at the level where I have to implement most of the things you share, I still go ahead to watch your videos anyway. You teach well. That said, I thought I should point out something to you (and to those not familiar with this style). At minute 12:51, you add two additional zeroes, presumably to make the number 35,000. But that actually changes the number to 3,500,000. (And I confirmed this on my python shell.) 35_000_00 != 35,000 Instead, 35_000_00 == 3,500,000 35_000 == 35,000 3_4 == 34 (just to show those who might not know that you don't always have to end with zeroes) In essence, it seems to me you think adding two zeroes after the last underscore means python will treat the variable as a float. It won't. It'll just add two more zeroes to the integer. If you want a floating point number: 35_000.00 1_2.3 12_34_567_8009.027 are all different valid examples.

How would you do dependency injection for functions? For instance I have several functions where I want to use a database, for this I have a class or function which I want to re-use and mock for unit tests. If I use classes I would inject this dependency in the constructor. In the composition root I would assemble my objects. If I would do the same on function level for instance with te partial() it sounds like a lot of configuration, and a bit unclear for me how to structure the code then.

I had all of my steps be like functional but isolated environments be classes. I think both are cool

Do partials have any affect on time complexity of a function? Say you have a function where the part that is partially applied takes O(n^2), and the remaining part would be O(n). When calling the partially applied function, would this be O(n), because the O(n^2) part has already been handled or O(n^2) because it hasn't? This seems quite niche, but im currently working on graphical demonstration of time complexities and partials could be very helpful as I could only look at timing a specific part of a function. I watched this video a while back and remembered how useful I found it

Very useful if you want to write to a file using print: with open("output.txt", "w") as f: fprint = partial(print, file=f) fprint("Hello world!") Same for printing to stderr import sys eprint = partial(print, file=sys.stderr) ... eprint(f"Error occurred: {error.description}")

Nice video as usual! Question on partial. Before knowing about it, I used to do: buy_strategy = lambda prices: should_buy_average(prices, window_size=4) vs buy_strategy = partial(should_buy_average, window_size = 4) I think the result is the same. Are these methods equivalent, but partial with less code?

There are a few differences I guess. For example with partial you can change the should_buy_average function (as long as it still takes the window_size) and need not change the partial statement, whereas you would need to change the lambda statement because it explicitly uses the parameters the should_buy_average function expects. You can also change the parameters' order of the function and the partial application still works.

@@ArjanCodes I am a developer from Taiwan( in Asia). I have been writing Scala code as a data engineer for the last three years. Recently I joined a new company and my team uses Python for everything. And I struggle to accustom myself to the new environment. Watching your videos about Python’s usage and how to write code in a more functional programming way makes me more confident and more productive. Thanks for the effort!

I have studied industrial engineering in Spain, with little curriculum in programming. Is it possible that I prefer functional programming due to my background in engineering? I.e. decompose the 'problem' in little steps via functions and then there is a main function that calls functions which in turn call lower level functions...and so on.

Hi Arjan. Thank you for the instructions on passing extra params using closures. I bookmarked this video when I first watched it because I suspected that it would be useful, and today it was exactly what I needed to add functionality to the callback function passed to ftplib.retrbinary()
