Overview

This repository is structured into three main subfolders, each focusing on a specific topic within Python programming:

1. Variable Annotations: Learn how to use type hints and annotations to make your code more readable and maintainable.
2. Asynchronous Functions: Understand the basics of asynchronous programming using asyncio.
3. Asynchronous Comprehensions: Dive deeper into asynchronous programming with async generators and comprehensions.

Folder Structure

0x00-python_variable_annotations

This folder introduces Python variable annotations, which help in specifying the type of variables for better code clarity and debugging.

• 0-add.py: Function to add two floating-point numbers.
• 1-concat.py: Function to concatenate two strings.
• 100-safe_first_element.py: Function to safely get the first element of a sequence.
• 101-safely_get_value.py: Function to safely retrieve a value from a dictionary.
• 102-type_checking.py: Function demonstrating the use of mypy for type checking.
• 2-floor.py: Function to return the floor of a floating-point number.
• 3-to_str.py: Function to convert a float to a string.
• 4-define_variables.py: Demonstrates how to define variables with type annotations.
• 5-sum_list.py: Function to sum a list of floats.
• 6-sum_mixed_list.py: Function to sum a mixed list of integers and floats.
• 7-to_kv.py: Function to return a tuple.
• 8-make_multiplier.py: Function to return a function that multiplies a float by a given multiplier.
• 9-element_length.py: Function to return a list of tuples with the element and its length.
• README.md: Documentation for the variable annotations project.

0x01-python_async_function

This folder focuses on the basics of asynchronous programming using Python's asyncio module.

• 0-basic_async_syntax.py: Basic async function demonstrating the use of await.
• 1-concurrent_coroutines.py: Running multiple coroutines concurrently.
• 2-measure_runtime.py: Measuring the runtime of concurrent coroutines.
• 3-tasks.py: Creating and managing tasks with asyncio.
• 4-tasks.py: Another example of managing tasks.
• README.md: Documentation for the async functions project.

0x02-python_async_comprehension

This folder covers asynchronous comprehensions and async generators.

• 0-async_generator.py: An async generator that yields random numbers.
• 1-async_comprehension.py: Async comprehension to collect random numbers.
• 2-measure_runtime.py: Measure runtime for async comprehensions running in parallel.
• README.md: Documentation for the async comprehensions project.
