    Video answer for 'Find duplicate files in a file system.'

    " read_dir(path: str) -> list[str] returns the full path of all files and sub- directories of a given directory. is_file(path: str) -> bool: returns true if the path points to a regular file. is_dir(path: str) -> bool: returns true if the path points to a directory. read_file(path: str) -> str: reads and returns the content of the file. The algorithm: notice that storing all the file contents' is too space intensive, so we can't read all the files' contents to store and compare with each"

  • "A Random Forest works by building an ensemble of decision trees, each trained on a slightly different version of the data. The key mechanism is bagging: for each tree, we sample the training data with replacement (bootstrapping), so every tree sees a different subset of examples. On top of that, at each split the algorithm randomly selects a subset of features, so trees explore different predictors. These two sources of randomness decorrelate the trees. When we aggregate them — by averag"

They are familiar with Databases/Data-layer services, middle-layer/application services and business logic, and finally familiar with the consumers whether front-end applications/UIs or other systems.
