R vs Python- by Roopam<\/p><\/div>\n
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice\u00a0<\/em>was released in March 2016. The film didn’t do too well but it’s an interesting idea to make these two superheroes battle it out against each other.\u00a0Both these superheroes were introduced through comic books in the late 1930s by DC Comics. Both of them fight crime and criminals. However, in over 75 years they have developed into characters that are contrasting to each other.\u00a0They are as different as day and night. Superman represents the bright, sunny side of life while Batman the dark, chilling nights. Notably, Superman gets his superpowers from the sun while fear of bats and dark nights are the source of power for Batman.<\/p>\n
R vs\u00a0Python – Superheroes<\/span><\/h2>\n
Let us continue with the theme of contrasting superheroes with a common mission. This time, we will\u00a0make the superheroes for data scientists\u00a0compete against each other – R vs\u00a0Python. The idea for this article is to explain the superpowers of both R and Python, and also to suggest books to learn them. Most of these books are available online for free for the purpose of evaluation, and I will share those links here. To explain superpowers of R and Python let me create a few connections\u00a0between them and the DC Comic superheroes.<\/p>\n
You may find it unusual but I see a few\u00a0similarities between R and Batman. Moreover, for me, Python and Superman have some\u00a0things in common as well.\u00a0Let me create a table to list\u00a0these similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
