Data Structures in Python: Linked Lists

Linked lists are a fundamental linear data structure where elements (nodes) are not stored contiguously in memory. Each node contains data and a reference (pointer) to the next node in the list, forming a chain-like structure. This dynamic allocation offers advantages...

Project Alert: Automation in Pyspark

Here is a detailed approach for dividing a monthly PySpark script into multiple code steps. Each step will be saved in the code column of a control DataFrame and executed sequentially. The script will include error handling and pre-checks to ensure source tables are...

String Manipulation on PySpark DataFrames

String manipulation is a common task in data processing. PySpark provides a variety of built-in functions for manipulating string columns in DataFrames. Below, we explore some of the most useful string manipulation functions and demonstrate how to use them with...

Window functions in PySpark on Dataframe

Window functions in PySpark allow you to perform operations on a subset of your data using a “window” that defines a range of rows. These functions are similar to SQL window functions and are useful for tasks like ranking, cumulative sums, and moving...
