Examples
Example 1: Function Documentation
Input:
def process_data(data, filter=None):
# Process the data
result = []
for item in data:
if filter and not filter(item):
continue
result.append(transform(item))
return result
Output:
def process_data(data, filter=None):
"""
Process and transform a collection of data items with optional filtering.
Args:
data (list): A list of items to process
filter (callable, optional): A function that returns True for items
to include. If None, all items are processed.
Returns:
list: A list of transformed items that passed the filter
Example:
>>> data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> process_data(data, filter=lambda x: x > 2)
[3, 4, 5]
"""
result = []
for item in data:
if filter and not filter(item):
continue
result.append(transform(item))
return result
Example 2: README Section
Input: Project is a web scraper
Output:
