Python: Declarative programming

Included in the course

What you'll learn

• Use a declarative approach in your work
• Use generators to work with collections
• Process streaming data

Description

In this course, you will learn the tools of declarative programming. You will investigate the difference between the imperative and declarative paradigms. You'll comprehend generators, how to handle streaming data, how to use pending computations, and how to create and modify collections. The knowledge in this course will help you work with transformations. This course is appropriate for those who have mastered the basics of Python. To make learning easier, you should learn functions, lists, and dictionaries beforehand.
