𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿: You have only 2 minutes to solve this Python task.

Retrieve the department name and the highest salary in each department from the employee dataset, but only for departments where the highest salary is greater than $70,000.

𝗠𝗲: Challenge accepted!

1️⃣ Import Libraries and Create DataFrame:

import pandas as pd

# Sample data
data = {'Department': ['Sales', 'Sales', 'HR', 'HR', 'Engineering', 'Engineering'],
'Salary': [60000, 80000, 75000, 65000, 72000, 90000]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

2️⃣ Group and Filter: Use groupby() to find the highest salary in each department, then filter based on the condition.

# Group by department and find max salary
result = df.groupby('Department')['Salary'].max().reset_index()

# Filter departments with highest salary > 70000
result = result[result['Salary'] > 70000]
print(result)

This solution shows my understanding of pandas functions like groupby(), max(), and data filtering to meet specific requirements in a short time.

𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀: Don’t focus only on syntax; practice efficient data manipulation with libraries like pandas and numpy. They’re essential for data analytics and solving real-world problems quickly!

COMMON SQL TERMINOLOGIES - PART 1

In this series, we'll explore the common terminologies in SQL to help you navigate the world of databases.

Here are a few SQL terminologies to get you started:

SQL (Structured Query Language)
A programming language designed for managing and querying data in relational databases.

Database
A structured collection of data stored and organized to allow for easy access, retrieval, and management. Example: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server.

Table
A collection of data organized into rows and columns within a database. Think of it as a spreadsheet in Excel.
Example:
| ID | Name | Age |
|----|-----------|-----|
| 1 | John Doe | 25 |
| 2 | Jane Smith| 30 |

Row (or Record)
A single entry in a table that contains data for all columns in that table.
Example: 1, 'John Doe', 25

Column (or Field)
A specific attribute or property in a table. Each column contains data of the same type.
Example: Columns in a "users" table might include ID, Name, and Age.

Query
A statement written in SQL to perform a specific task, such as retrieving, updating, or deleting data.
Example: SELECT * FROM users;

Primary Key
A unique identifier for each record in a table. It ensures that no two rows have the same key value.
Example: The ID column in a table is often the primary key.

Foreign Key
A field in a table that links to the primary key in another table, establishing a relationship between the two tables.
Example: In an "Orders" table, a CustomerID might link to the ID in a "Customers" table.

Index
A performance optimization feature that allows quick retrieval of rows from a table based on column values.

Clause
A part of an SQL statement that performs a specific task, like filtering, grouping, or sorting data.
Examples:

WHERE: Filters records based on conditions.

GROUP BY: Groups data based on a column.


Result Set
The output of a query, typically in tabular form.
Example:
After running SELECT Name FROM users;, the result set might look like:
| Name |
|------------|
| John Doe |
| Jane Smith |

Join
A method to combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column.
Example:
SELECT orders.id, customers.name FROM orders JOIN customers ON orders.customer_id = customers.id;


Aggregate Function
A function that performs a calculation on a group of values and returns a single value.
Examples:

SUM: Adds values.

AVG: Calculates the average.

COUNT: Counts the number of rows.


Script
A file containing a series of SQL commands that can be executed together.
Example: A .sql file with multiple CREATE, INSERT, or SELECT statements.

COMMON TERMINOLOGIES IN SQL - PART 2

Schema
A blueprint or structure of a database that defines how data is organized, including tables, views, and relationships.
Example: In a library database, the schema might define tables like Books, Authors, and Borrowers.

View
A virtual table created from the result of a SQL query. It doesn't store data but dynamically pulls it from the underlying tables.

Example:

CREATE VIEW ActiveUsers AS
SELECT Name, Email
FROM Users
WHERE Status = 'Active';


Alias
A temporary name assigned to a table or column to make queries more readable.

Example:

SELECT u.Name AS UserName, o.OrderDate
FROM Users u
JOIN Orders o ON u.ID = o.UserID;


Transaction
A sequence of one or more SQL operations performed as a single unit of work. If one part fails, the entire transaction is rolled back.
Commands:
BEGIN TRANSACTION: Starts a transaction
COMMIT: Saves changes
ROLLBACK: Reverts changes

Normalization

The process of organizing data to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity by dividing data into related tables.
Forms:
1NF (First Normal Form): Ensures no repeating groups
2NF (Second Normal Form): Removes partial dependencies
3NF (Third Normal Form): Removes transitive dependencies

Denormalization
The process of combining tables to improve query performance, often at the cost of redundancy.

Constraint
A rule applied to a table's columns to enforce data integrity.
Examples:
NOT NULL: Ensures a column cannot have a NULL value
UNIQUE: Ensures all values in a column are unique
CHECK: Ensures column values meet a specific condition
DEFAULT: Provides a default value for a column

Stored Procedure
A reusable, precompiled set of SQL statements stored in the database.

Example:

CREATE PROCEDURE GetActiveUsers()
AS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Status = 'Active';
END;

Trigger
A set of SQL instructions automatically executed in response to certain events (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) on a table.

Example:
CREATE TRIGGER LogChanges
AFTER UPDATE ON Users
FOR EACH ROW
INSERT INTO AuditLog(UserID, ChangeDate) VALUES (NEW.ID, NOW());


Cursor
A database object used to retrieve, manipulate, and navigate through a result set row by row.

Example:
DECLARE CursorExample CURSOR FOR
SELECT Name FROM Users;
OPEN CursorExample;
FETCH NEXT FROM CursorExample;


Subquery
A query nested inside another SQL query to provide intermediate results.

Example:
SELECT Name FROM Users
WHERE ID IN (SELECT UserID FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate > '2024-01-01');


Indexing
A technique to speed up data retrieval by creating a data structure that allows the database to find rows faster.

Example:
CREATE INDEX idx_username ON Users (Name);


Wildcards
Special characters used in LIKE queries for pattern matching.
Examples:
%: Represents zero or more characters
SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Name LIKE 'J%';
_: Represents a single character
SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Name LIKE 'J_n';


ACID Properties
Set of properties ensuring database reliability in transactions:
Atomicity: All tasks are completed or none are
Consistency: Ensures data integrity before and after a transaction
Isolation: Transactions do not interfere with each other
Durability: Changes persist even in the event of a failure

Common Table Expression (CTE)
A temporary, named result set used within a query.
Example:
WITH ActiveUsers AS (
SELECT Name, Email FROM Users WHERE Status = 'Active'
)
SELECT * FROM ActiveUsers;


Partitioning
Dividing a table into smaller, more manageable pieces for performance optimization.
Example: Range-based partitioning by year
CREATE TABLE Sales_2024 PARTITION OF Sales FOR VALUES FROM ('2024-01-01') TO ('2024-12-31');

10. What is the purpose of the TEXT function?

Solution:
The TEXT function formats numbers and dates into specified text formats.
Example:

=TEXT(A1, "DD-MMM-YYYY") // Converts date to "22-Nov-2024"
=TEXT(1234.56, "$#,##0.00") // Formats number as "$1,234.56"

Top 10 Python interview questions with answers:

1. What are Python's key data types?

Solution:

Numeric types: int, float, complex

Text type: str

Sequence types: list, tuple

Mapping type: dict

Set types: set, frozenset

Boolean type: bool



2. What is a list comprehension in Python?

Solution:
A concise way to create lists using a single line of code.
Example:

squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)] # [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]


3. What is the difference between == and is in Python?

Solution:

== checks for value equality.

is checks for object identity (whether two references point to the same object).


a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [1, 2, 3]
print(a == b) # True, values are equal
print(a is b) # False, different objects


4. How do you handle exceptions in Python?

Solution:
Using try, except, else, and finally blocks.
Example:

try:
result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("Cannot divide by zero!")
else:
print("No error occurred.")
finally:
print("This block runs regardless of an error.")



5. What are Python decorators and why are they used?

Solution:
Decorators are functions that modify the behavior of other functions or methods. They are used for adding functionality without changing the original function's code. Example:

def my_decorator(func):
def wrapper():
print("Something is happening before the function is called.")
func()
print("Something is happening after the function is called.")
return wrapper

@my_decorator
def say_hello():
print("Hello!")

say_hello()


6. What is a Python generator?

Solution:
A generator is a function that uses yield to return an iterator, which generates values on the fly without storing them in memory. Example:

def my_generator():
yield 1
yield 2
yield 3

gen = my_generator()
for value in gen:
print(value)




7. How do you create a dictionary in Python?

Solution:

my_dict = {'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'city': 'New York'}



8. What is the difference between append() and extend() in Python?

Solution:

append(): Adds a single element to the end of a list.

extend(): Adds all elements from an iterable to the end of a list.


my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_list.append([4, 5]) # [1, 2, 3, [4, 5]]
my_list.extend([6, 7]) # [1, 2, 3, [4, 5], 6, 7]



9. What is a lambda function in Python?

Solution:
A lambda function is an anonymous function defined using the lambda keyword. It's often used for short, simple operations. Example:

square = lambda x: x**2
print(square(5)) # 25



10. What is the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL)?

Solution:
The GIL is a mutex in CPython (the standard Python implementation) that prevents multiple native threads from executing Python bytecode at the same time. This can limit the performance of multithreaded Python programs in CPU-bound operations but not in I/O-bound operations.
