Defining ranges

Ranges are an important concept in Julia, allowing you to quickly create an ordered collection of values. In this exercise, you want to generate a range of evenly-spaced points. Imagine if the spacing between each point was 1/3 - you would quickly find it hard to do this ourselves. This is where a range comes in - you can specify a start value, an optional step value, and an end value. Then, the range will automatically be generated for us.

There are two steps in the exercise below. In the first step, you will create and inspect a range with no step value specified. In the second step, you will create and inspect a second range, this time specifying a step value.

Loops are one of the core concepts that underpin Julia. In this chapter, you'll learn about for loops and while loops, and how to use them to iterate over data structures that you are already familiar with. You will also cover ranges, a useful tool for generating sequences of data.

Exercise 1: For loops Exercise 2: For loops question Exercise 3: Loop over a vector Exercise 4: Loops and enumerate Exercise 5: Looping over nested structures Exercise 6: While loops Exercise 7: Writing a while loop Exercise 8: While loops for iteration Exercise 9: Ranges Exercise 10: Ranges - iteration Exercise 11: Defining ranges

This chapter focuses on expanding your knowledge of the data structures available in Julia. Learn how to use tuples, dictionaries, multi-dimensional arrays, and structures to store and traverse data quickly and efficiently.

Exercise 1: Tuples Exercise 2: When should you use a tuple?Exercise 3: Create, index, and slice a tuple Exercise 4: Create a NamedTuple for a person Exercise 5: Dictionaries Exercise 6: Create untyped dict, iterate Exercise 7: Create typed dict, iterate Exercise 8: Modify keys/values in dict, use get()Exercise 9: Multi-dimensional arrays Exercise 10: Create 1D and 2D arrays Exercise 11: Index and slice a 2D array Exercise 12: Array merging Exercise 13: Structs Exercise 14: Define a structure Exercise 15: Mutable and typed structs

In this chapter, you’ll extend your understanding of functions, exploring positional, keyword, and default function arguments. You will also cover code execution timing, getting a strong understanding of how to measure the time your code takes to run. This chapter will round off with a capstone on writing your own functions to solve real-world problems.

Exercise 1: Execution time and measurement Exercise 2: Built-in time macro Exercise 3: Timing a function Exercise 4: Positional and Default Arguments, Type Declarations Exercise 5: Positional arguments recap Exercise 6: Default arguments Exercise 7: Type declarations Exercise 8: Keyword Arguments Exercise 9: Keyword arguments Exercise 10: Variable number of arguments Exercise 11: Writing Your Own Function Exercise 12: Writing your own functions Exercise 13: Writing your own functions - structs

This final chapter will introduce anonymous functions and will recap one of the powerful features of Julia; multiple dispatch. You will learn how to use functions from Python and R packages within Julia and discover how to clean and modify data within dataframes.
