Strings
x = 'a'
x.isalpha()
>>> True
x.isdigit()
>>> False
eval( ' 1*2+3 ' )
>>> 5
ord()
>>>ord('a')
97
>>> ord('b')
98
>>> ord('c')
99
Turn string to lower/upper case
s.lower()
s.upper()

Numbers
import sys
sys.maxsize # get a large number
-sys.maxsize - 1
cmp(a, b)
-1 if a<b
0 if a=b
1 if a>b
sort by x[0] then by x[1]
temp = sorted(temp, key = lambda x: (x[0], x[1]))
---------------------------------------------------
Lists
sorted(list)
list.sort()
reversed(list)
list.reverse()
list[::-1]
find()
>>> str1 = "this is string example....wow!!!";
>>> str1.find('tri')
9
Counter()
tasks = [A, A, A, B, B, B, B]
d = collections.Counter(tasks)
print(d)
>>> Counter({'A': 3, 'B': 4})
counts = d.values()
print(counts)
>>> dict_values([3, 4])

Deque
import collections
de = collections.deque([1,2,3])
de.append(4)
de.appendleft(4)
de.pop()
de.popleft()

Random Library
random.randint(min, max)
pick a random element from a list:
random.choice(list)
pick a random element from a set:
random.sample(set, 1)[0]
random.choice(list(set))
---------------------------------------------------
Binary to decimal
A = int(a, 2)
Decimal to binary
bin(A)
