I'm going to demo a bunch of Python builtin and stdlib functions. There's a lot to get through, so I'll be going fast, but please stop me and ask questions as we go. The goal is to give you a taste of Python's power and expressivity if you're not a Python person, or maybe teach you a few new tricks if you are already.

Built-in functions

# enumerate: iterate with index *and* item
>>> strings = ['123', '0', 'x']
>>> for i, s in enumerate(strings):
...     print(f'{i} - {s}')  # f-strings!

# AWK program to compare time complexity of joining strings using a
# simple O(N^2) algorithm and a slightly more complex O(N log N) one.

# Join array elements, separated by sep: O(N^2) version
function join1(a, sep,    i, s) {
  for (i = 1; i+1 in a; i++) {
    s = s a[i] sep
  }
  if (i in a) {
    s = s a[i]
