To check the equality of Date values: var date1 = new Date(); var date2 = new Date(date1.valueOf() + 10); console.log(date1.valueOf() === date2.valueOf()); Sample output: false Note that you must use valueOf() or getTime() to compare the values of Date objects because the equality operato...

Counting the keys of a Mapping isn't possible with collections.Counter but we can count the values: from collections import Counter adict = {'a': 5, 'b': 3, 'c': 5, 'd': 2, 'e':2, 'q': 5} Counter(adict.values()) # Out: Counter({2: 2, 3: 1, 5: 3}) The most common elements are avaiable by the m...

A common pitfall is confusing the equality comparison operators is and ==. a == b compares the value of a and b. a is b will compare the identities of a and b. To illustrate: a = 'Python is fun!' b = 'Python is fun!' a == b # returns True a is b # returns False a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] b = a ...
