## 🚀 Quick Start Guide

### **⚡ Basic Loading**
```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load complete dataset
dataset = load_dataset("vinsblack/The_Stack_Processed-v2")
train_data = dataset["train"]

print(f"📊 Total files: {len(train_data):,}")
print(f"🌍 Languages: {sorted(set(train_data['language']))}")
print(f"📈 Average quality: {sum(train_data['quality_score'])/len(train_data):.2f}")
```

### **🎯 Language-Specific Filtering**
```python
# Get language subsets
python_files = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["language"] == "Python")
swift_files = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["language"] == "Swift")
web_files = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["language"] in ["JavaScript", "PHP"])

print(f"🐍 Python files: {len(python_files):,}")
print(f"🍎 Swift files: {len(swift_files):,}")
print(f"🌐 Web files: {len(web_files):,}")
```

### **🏆 Quality-Based Selection**
```python
# Filter by quality and complexity
high_quality = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["quality_score"] > 0.9)
simple_code = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["complexity"] == "Low")
documented = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["documentation_ratio"] > 0.1)

# Popular repositories (educational value)
popular_repos = train_data.filter(lambda x: x["stars"] > 100)
```

### **🔄 Streaming for Large-Scale Training**
```python
# Efficient streaming for training
dataset_stream = load_dataset(
    "vinsblack/The_Stack_Processed-v2", 
    streaming=True
)

# Process in batches
for batch in dataset_stream["train"].iter(batch_size=1000):
    # Your training logic here
    pass
```

### **🔍 Data Exploration**
```python
# Explore sample data
import random

# Random sampling across languages
samples = random.sample(list(train_data), 5)

for i, example in enumerate(samples):
    print(f"\n🔍 --- Example {i+1} ---")
    print(f"📝 Language: {example['language']}")
    print(f"📂 Repository: {example['repository']}")
