XML parsing in Python3 (working with ElementTree)

XML Parsing in Python3

XML :

XML stands for the eXtensible Markup Language. It was designed for data transport and data storage. It was designed for both Human and machine readable.

That's enough for the introduction.
Let's start working.

First of all the XML file that we are working on.

<messages>
  <note id="501">
    <to>Tove</to>
    <from>Jani</from>
    <heading>Reminder</heading>
    <body>This is code in cafe</body>
  </note>
  <note id="502">
    <to>Jani</to>
    <from>Tove</from>
    <heading>Re: Reminder</heading>
    <body>I will not</body>
  </note>
</messages>

We are using this file as an example XML file, name this file as the "example.xml".

 Let's start working with the python3.

 to Parse the XML by the python first, we have to import a module named 
xml.etree.ElementTree


import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET 
d = ET.parse("example.xml").getroot()

 getroot() returns the root node of the XML data.
you can also use the ET.fromstring(xml_data_string)

 now we have XML parsed and stored in the variable, let's get data from it.
suppose we want to get the body of all the notes then sample code is.


for i in d.findall("note"):
    print(i.find("body").text)

this chunk of code gives us the all the body tag values in the print.

 whole working code summed up into one.


import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET 

#parse return a handle 
#getroot return a root tag of the whole xml
d = ET.parse("example.xml").getroot()

#findall iterate through all the iteration of the particular tag.
for i in d.findall("note"):
    #find checks the single iter of the tag
    print(i.find("body").text)

#repeating the process again
for i in d.findall("note"):
    #formatting the message again
    print("Message from "+i.find("from").text + " to "+ i.find("to").text )

And the sample output for this code is 


output
working with the XML is easy very easy.

C/C++ program to check the Palindrome string.

Image
Palindrome string: A string or word which are same from the start and end means word or program which look like same as original and reversed. To do that we have to first reverse the string. Check out our post on the String reverse in C/C++. To write the program of the Palindrome steps used are. Get the input from the user. convert the string to the Lower case to avoid any case sensitivity. apply the logic of the reverse the string. compare the reversed and original string, if same then the string is a palindrome. if different string is not a palindrome. print the result to the user. without wasting much time lets start. First of all the C schema. #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <ctype.h> int main(int argc, char const *argv[]) { return 0; } ctype.h is used to get the advantage of the function tolower() later in the program. Now take the input from the user. char name[150],rev[150] ; int l=0; printf("Enter a string to check palindrome\n");

Second Equation of motion, How to implement using C language

Image
The second equation of motion is used to calculate the displacement of an object under constant acceleration. Algorithm:  Without wasting any of your precious time let's try to understand how the algorithm is implemented. want to check the implementation of the Third equation of motion,   click here. The second equation of motion is s = u*t + 1/2 * a * t * t s: total displacement u: initial velocity t: time taken by the journey a: constant acceleration as you can see in our program we are considering  u=0  if you want you can set initialVelocity variable value as per your choice or you can ask it from user too also acceleration value is 9.8 equal to the gravity of earth. want to check the implementation of the first equation of motion,   click here. In a function  fallingDistance  we have implemented the equation. total_dist = 9.8 * i * i * 1/2 + u * i ; total_dist = (4.9 * i * i) + (u * i); Code: #include // this is the implementation of 2nd equations of motion. void fallingDista

Third Equation of motion, How to implement using C language

Image
The third equation of motion is used to deduce the relation between initial velocity, final velocity, displacement, and acceleration without time. Third equation of motion Algorithm: Without wasting any of your precious time let's try to understand how the algorithm is implemented. want to check the implementation of Second equation of motion , click here. Third equation of motion is v * v = u * u + 2 * a * s s: total displacement u: initial velocity v: final velocity a: constant acceleration In function CalculateDisplacement, we are calculating the value of displacement. want to check the implementation of First equation of motion, click here. as you can see in our program we are considering u=0 if you want you can set initialVelocity variable value as per your choice or you can ask it from user too. Code: #include stdio.h //please make it correct // this is the implementation of 3rd equations of motion. void CalculateDisplacement(float a,float u,float v){ float displacement=
