Googling while Coding – 1 : Dictionaries, Hash Functions

I recently wrote some simple code to featurize data from the KDD Cup 2015. The code is pretty simple (link below)

I thought it would be interesting to tabulate the google searches I had to do for syntax validation etc.

Considering I code in both Python and C#, its still funny how much of code-lookup happens during coding.
