50 python one-liners everyone should know

I was always amazed by how easily things can be done using python. Some of the tedious tasks can be done in a single line of code using python. I have gathered some of my favorite one-liners from python. I have listed out 50 of them below with an example for each.

1. Anagram

from collections import Counter

s1 = 'below'
s2 = 'elbow'

print('anagram') if Counter(s1) == Counter(s2) else print('not an anagram')

or we can also do this using the sorted() method like this.

print('anagram') if sorted(s1) == sorted(s2) else print('not an anagram')

2. Binary to decimal

decimal = int('1010', 2)
print(decimal) #10

3. Converting string to lower case

"Hi my name is Allwin".lower()
# 'hi my name is allwin'
"Hi my name is Allwin".casefold()
# 'hi my name is allwin'

4. Converting string to upper case

"hi my name is Allwin".upper()
# 'HI MY NAME IS ALLWIN'

5. Converting string to byte

"convert string to bytes using encode method".encode()
# b'convert string to bytes using encode method'
