An architectural pattern is a general, reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software architecture within a given context.

A pattern is a solution to a problem in a context.

Many programmers are nowadays still confused about the difference between architecture patterns or don’t even know much about it.

Let me explain to you…!

• Layered Architecture
• Pipe and Filter
• Client Server
• Model View Controller
• Event Driven Architecture
• Microservices Architecture

Layered Architecture

The most common architecture pattern is the layered architecture or known as the n-tier architecture. It is widely known by most software architects, designers, developers. Although, there are no specific…

I looked at over 1000 coding interview questions and found the hardest questions as follows by tech giants.

Question 01

There exists a staircase with N steps, and you can climb up either 1 or 2 steps at a time. Given N, write a function that returns the number of unique ways you can climb the staircase. The order of the steps matters.

For example, if N is 4, then there are 5 unique ways:1, 1, 1, 12, 1, 11, 2, 11, 1, 22, 2

What if, instead of being able to climb 1 or 2 steps…

Data Scientist

A command-line interface is a program that processes commands to a computer program in the form of lines of text. In this awesome article, I will introduce 100+ command-line tools used popularly in Data Science.

Alias and unalias

The alias tool is a Z shell built-in.

$ type alias
alias is a shell builtin

For command lines, the syntax is:

$ alias name=’string’

We can create our own commands with it. Here’s the right way to set Python 3 as default.

$ type python
python is /usr/bin/python$ python --version
Python 2.7.16$python3 --version
Python 3.9.4$ alias python=python3
$ python --version
Python 3.9.4…

GitHub is a great place for sharing resources of all kinds, from free ebooks to APIs, from roadmaps to project ideas, and from projects to the products. I looked at Github and found the following awesome links.

Coding Standards

Arlo’s Commit Notation

A notation for small commits messages that show the risk involved in each step.

• How risky is it? What has the original author done to mitigate risk?
• What was the intention? When the original author changed the code, what was s/he attempting to accomplish?

Awesome Guidelines

A set of guidelines for a specific programming language that recommends programming style, practices, and methods for each aspect…

These are a wide variety of questions inspired by real programming interviews with tech giants, with in-depth solutions that clearly take you through each core concept.

Data Visualization

Hi everyone 😘!

Today, I am happy to introduce more than 50 charts usually used by business professionals. I hope you’re gonna love it. They are divided into the following five categories.

• Trend: line chart, lollipop chart, sparkline char, bar (and column) chart, area chart, bump chart, waterfall chart, slope chart, and stock chart.
• Relationship: scatter plot, smooth scatter plot, bubble chart, correlogram, slope chart, heat map, chord diagram, radar chart, parallel coordinates plots, mosaic plot, spine plot, and bubble map.
• Comparison: clustered bar (and column) chart, stacked bar (and column) chart, area chart, stacked area chart, cleveland dot chart…

1. Type of null is the object which is a bug in JavaScript

null is an object.

> typeof(null)
"object"

But since null has no value. So, null should not instance of Object.

> null instanceof Object
false

2. Type of NaN (Not a Number) is actually ‘number’

NaN (Not a number) is being a number.

> typeof(NaN)
"number"

3. (NaN === NaN) -> false

NaN is not equal to itself. Actually NaN not equal to anything.

> NaN === NaN
false

The only way to verify anything is NaN or not by isNaN().

if (isNaN(x)) {
   return ‘Not a Number!’
}

A side effect is that you’ll never use indexOf() if you want to find out the index of a NaN value into an array.

The High-Performance Series

A bottleneck is a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or limited number of components or resources. In order to improve the performance, we need to remove these.

When you hear the words “performance bottleneck”, the typical hot spots that come to your mind are CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network. But in the practice, there are more than 20 common bottlenecks, divided into the following 10 categories: database, virtualisation, programming, disk, OS, caching, CPU, network, process, and memory (RAM).

Database

Working size exceeds the hardware limits

To somewhat mitigate the issues of database working size exceeding RAM use…
