Homework Statement I'm making a program to display what I have posted in the image and my program needs to look just like it. The idea is to have an employee enter information such as their pay and hours worked. Then taxes get calculated and it shows a net amount that the employee has made for...

i have a dataset that has the timestamp data within each row and I am trying to plot the values to see the distribution but have no idea how to do it if the data is presented this way as attached. any ideas? thanks

I would like to convert my joystick's two axis float (horizontal and vertical) to a 360 angle that can be used to set a players direction in my game. From my research, I've found the best route to take is using Atan2. Variables: self.rot = 0 horaxis = joy1.get_axis(0) veraxis = joy1.get_axis(1)...

I am trying to count number of rows that has values in at least 3 columns so the output based on the image shared should be 4. I tried using the code below but it is resulting in the same shape as the whole table which is 7. counts = df[(df[['a', 'b', 'c', 'd]] != 'no_label').count(axis=1) >= 3]

i have a value that is generated as the max value for example from this list [0.6000001, 0.3, 0.3, 0.4] clearly the maximum value is 0.6000001 but python does not seem to be able to recognize this value as the maximum. i have tried so many ways to solve it but to no avail. even when changing...

the code below intends to take the maximum value that is calculated for each of the variable but after the max value is obtained I am not sure how to ensure there are no 2 or more values are the same in the if else loop as if 'a' has the max value of 3 and 'b' also has the max value of 3 then...

I am iterating over 2 variables below and after the calculation are done, i'd like to append the dataframe to add the rows after each iteration, but what is happening now is that the row is getting replaced instead of getting added. pre = [10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1] post = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4...

I have a dataframe as shown in the picture and what I am trying to do is to calculate the number of occurrences based on the values in 2 columns and then calculate the percentage of the occurrences. I have tried the following code but it gives me a zero value in the end and i don't know why...

I would like to generate a multi index dataframe that looks like the image attached. how do i do this in python? I tried this approach but it doesn't give me the output as expected: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28289440/creating-an-empty-multiindex

i have a column in a dataframe that contains values in the form or tuples (example: ('A',) ) and I want to convert these values to string format so that ('A',) becomes 'A' How do I do this in python for a dataframe? Thanks.

I have computed a line from point A to point B by just subtracting the coordinates as below: line = np.array (x2-x1, y2-y1) I am not sure if I need to form the formula for this line first by computing the slope and intercept but I continued my code as below, slope being m and b being the...

I have code snippet as below and when i run it, the dataframe seems to append after every loop and does not add the previous row into the frame, so at each time only one row is populated into the new dataframe. How do I ensure that the append function adds the previous row as well...

I would like to ask about unitary transformation. UA(IV) UB*UA(IV) UAT(UB*UA(IV))=UB(IV) UB(IV)*(X) IVT(UB(IV)*(X))=UB(X) UBT*UB(X)=X From the information above, UAT,IVT and UBT are the transpose of the complex conjugate. The aim of this code is to get the value of X in the step 4. This is...

I defined a simple prime function and then I append each number to an array up to 1 million and then later 2 million. In both cases, Python IDLE gives me the answer in 4 and 9 seconds respectively, but Spyder and Jupyter Notebook gave me in 12 and 24 seconds. I wonder why this happened. The time...

Hi I want to learn and understand web development, and just knowing what to do is not enough for me; I, to the extent it is possible, want to know how the web works. So, if I develop a web app or website with Flask, I want to know what is going on under the hood (it's just how my head works...
