    [4]: 114 A DataFrame is a 2-dimensional data structure of rows and columns, similar to a spreadsheet, and analogous to a Python dictionary mapping column names (keys) to Series (values), with each Series sharing an index. [4]: 115 DataFrames can be concatenated together or "merged" on columns or indices in a manner similar to joins in SQL.

  3. Copy-on-write - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy-on-write

    Copy-on-write (COW), also called implicit sharing [1] or shadowing, [2] is a resource-management technique [3] used in programming to manage shared data efficiently. Instead of copying data right away when multiple programs use it, the same data is shared between programs until one tries to modify it.

  4. Array slicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_slicing

    Common examples of array slicing are extracting a substring from a string of characters, the "ell" in "hello", extracting a row or column from a two-dimensional array, or extracting a vector from a matrix. Depending on the programming language, an array slice can be made out of non-consecutive elements.

  5. Comma-separated values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values

    CSV is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values (many implementations of CSV import/export tools allow other separators to be used; for example, the use of a "Sep=^" row as the first row in the *.csv file will cause Excel to open the file expecting caret "^" to be the separator instead of comma ","). Simple CSV implementations ...

  6. Change data capture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_data_capture

    This technique can either supplement or complement timestamps and versioning. It can configure an alternative if, for example, a status column is set up on a table row indicating that the row has changed (e.g., a boolean column that, when set to true, indicates that the row has changed).

  7. Data set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_set

    Various plots of the multivariate data set Iris flower data set introduced by Ronald Fisher (1936). [1]A data set (or dataset) is a collection of data.In the case of tabular data, a data set corresponds to one or more database tables, where every column of a table represents a particular variable, and each row corresponds to a given record of the data set in question.

  8. Delta encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_encoding

    A delta can be defined in 2 ways, symmetric delta and directed delta.A symmetric delta can be expressed as (,) = (),where and represent two versions.. A directed delta, also called a change, is a sequence of (elementary) change operations which, when applied to one version , yields another version (note the correspondence to transaction logs in databases).

  9. Generator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(computer...

    In Python, a generator can be thought of as an iterator that contains a frozen stack frame. Whenever next() is called on the iterator, Python resumes the frozen frame, which executes normally until the next yield statement is reached. The generator's frame is then frozen again, and the yielded value is returned to the caller.
