overloaded-iterables 0.7.34

Overloaded version of the built-in python classes: list and set, to include some extra functionalities.

Overloaded Iterables

Overloaded versions of the built-in python classes: <list> and <set>, to include some extra functionalities as an experiment.

An experimental Python package to extend the methods found in Python's built-in list and set classes to add some extra functionality that I, personally find useful in my day-to-day implementations and was too lazy to keep writing/copy-pasting again and again.

Installation

python -m pip install overloaded-iterables

Classes

The current iteration contains the following classes

1. OverloadedList

• A non-datatype constrained, single-dimensional collection of values.
• Inherits solely from Python's built-in <list> class.

from overloaded_iterables.classes import OverloadedList

obj = OverloadedList(*args)

2. Queue

• A non-datatype constrained, single-dimensional collection of values that follows the first-in-first-out (FiFo) principle for insertions and deletion i.e, insertions will be made to the end of the sequence while deletions will be made to the beginning of the sequence.
• Inherits solely from the <OverloadedList> class.

from overloaded_iterables.classes import Queue

obj = Queue(*args)

3. Stack

• A non-datatype constrained, single-dimensional collection of values that follows the first-in-last-out (FiLo) principle for insertions and deletion i.e, insertions and deletions, both will be made to the end of the sequence.
• Inherits solely from the <OverloadedList> class.

from overloaded_iterables.classes import Stack

obj = Stack(*args)

4. OverloadedSet

• A non-datatype constrained, single-dimensional collection of unique values.
• Inherits solely from Python's built-in <set> class.

    from overloaded_iterables.classes import OverloadedSet

    obj = OverloadedSet(*args)

Functions and Methods

The functions, methods and properties are categorised into two segments: for the base classes (OverloadedList and OverloadedSet) and for the inheriting classes (Queue and Stack)

OverloadedList and OverloadedSet

The following are the functions, methods and properties belonging to the base classes.

OverloadedList being a daughter of the <list> class, inherits all of its associated methods and properties as well, such as append(), extend(), count(), et cetera.

OverloadedSet being a daughter of the <set> class, inherits all of its associated methods and properties as well, such as add(), clear(), difference(), et cetera.
