Understanding XML in Objective-C: A Deep Dive into TBXML Introduction As a developer, working with data storage and manipulation is an essential part of creating robust and maintainable applications. In Objective-C, one common format for data exchange is XML (Extensible Markup Language). In this article, we’ll explore how to work with XML in Objective-C, specifically using the TBXML library. What is XML? XML is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

Standard SQL String to Date Conversion Standard SQL provides various functions and techniques to convert string representations of dates into a standard date format. In this article, we will explore the PARSE_DATE() function, its usage, and best practices for converting string dates in different SQL dialects. Understanding the Problem The problem at hand is to convert a string date formatted as “YYYYMMDD” (20190101) to the ISO 8601 format (“YYYY-MM-DD”). The goal is to achieve this conversion using standard SQL.

Checking if Value Exists in Pandas Row, and If So, in Which Columns Introduction Pandas is a powerful library for data manipulation and analysis in Python. When working with pandas DataFrames, it’s common to iterate over rows and columns, performing various operations on the data. In this article, we’ll explore how to check if a value exists in a row of a pandas DataFrame and, if so, determine which columns contain that value.

Selecting Multiple Discontinuous Columns/Slices in Pandas Dataframe When working with large datasets in pandas, selecting specific columns or slices can be a daunting task.
