There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system."

A block of code is set as follows:

dict = {"dog": "human's best friend", "cat": "destroyer of world"} 
dict["dog"]# == "human's best friend" 
len(dict["cat"]) # == 18 
 
# but if we try to create a pair with the same key as an existing key 
dict["dog"] = "Arf"

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

def jaccard(user1, user2): 
  stores_in_common = len(user1 & user2) 
  stores_all_together = len(user1 | user2) 
  return stores / float(stores_all_together) 

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

import numpy as np

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
