Posted: 12 Oct 2018 01:35 AM PDT Do yourself a favour and do this course, https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn, it takes a few hours. There are blessed people whose brains are "blessed". The are handicapped people whose brains are handicapped preventing them to think correctly. But that's like 1% of the world population. So you're fine, you're as smart as everyone else. What differs is our methods to learn, and whether we like what we learn or not. Passion is a big factor in learning though ... The brain is like a muscle it can be trained, if you don't train yours don't think you'll be at the same level as someone who does. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
Just wanted to motivate everyone in the trenches Posted: 12 Oct 2018 05:08 PM PDT You're a developer. Life is a what "if" statement. You get to code it. Remember that your efforts are going to pay off. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
Complete Novice at C Programming and could really use some help Posted: 12 Oct 2018 09:23 PM PDT I am in a class where I need to write a c program with int data type and the program is basically a calculator. My instructor wants the user to enter 2 numbers and the program needs to subtract, multiply and give the square root of the 2 numbers. I found someone else's code from a google search and am wondering if this code is basically what I need to write for my assignment... include <stdio.h>int main() { int first, second, add, subtract, multiply; float divide; } I just need help removing the add and divide "functions" of this code since the professor didn't ask for it. Then I need to include code to give the square root of the 2 numbers...Man the first "helloworld" assignment was much easier than this!!! Thanks :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
Posted: 12 Oct 2018 09:13 PM PDT I know how to code with C#. I understand data structures and algorithms decently. I know pretty well how to do various things with text in the console and the basics of WPF. I'm using Visual Studio Community 2017, but I'm open to other tools if I need to. But I don't understand how to make a full application (with only basic functionality). Stuff like adding multiple menus, organizing all my project files, designing a GUI, importing libraries, and even just packaging up an application all feels kind of overwhelming if I don't know where to start. The application is just a file organization system. You can take files and rename them, organize them, sort them, etc. You could pull up different tabs for different functions. The logic behind parsing the files and saving them to different parts of the computer doesn't sound too bad, its just that I don't quite understand what all is required for a finished application. Got any resources that explain the process/system of making an application start to finish? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
I'm a new programmer, are there any good guides on how to make your software secure from hackers? Posted: 12 Oct 2018 07:04 PM PDT I'm learning to program because I want to create an addon for web browsers that make Amazon a nicer experience due to some of my own poor experiences with the site. I'm worried about hackers accessing my app's user accounts because of my lack of experience. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
[Python] Reshape a dataframe into a single row Posted: 12 Oct 2018 10:49 PM PDT I have a dataframe that looks like: And I want to reshape this into a single row to look like: I tried unstack and sort index as follows: This gives me something close to what I need: Why does the first column have None values, and why does the third row have blank cells? Lastly, how can I append the values from the second row to the end of the corresponding column name in the first row? Thanks [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
Redoing CS101 type course,for undoing myself from beginnerhood Posted: 12 Oct 2018 08:25 PM PDT It's been 1 year on and off, that I have been trying to learn various programming languages at various levels and for different purposes. Mainly for Data Science(Python and R), Web Front End programming(JS, HTML, CSS). But it all seems tacky to me because I don't seem to grasp of writing my own code, I have been merely following instructions and never dared to attempt to do a project of any kind. My main aim right now is to be able to use TensorFlow library, Spark and R combined. And maybe build a website using Flask/Django if possible(with both front end and back end). But, I'm unable to code on my own as I have not been sincere with my attempts at programming exercises. I need to do a CS101 type course, this time more seriously and also later practice many other programming challenges to build the core concepts. I have chosen MITx 6.001x and 6.002x, but I don't know where to practice the core skills of doing recursion, looping, OOPs concepts etc. Does anyone know where I can practice these concepts?

How to make people care about my open source project? Posted: 12 Oct 2018 09:45 PM PDT I created a tutorial series on how to build a social network with minimal features using a JS framework and cloud backend, now I just added a reddit-like vote feature and I'm gonna publish the article but the issue is that no one use the app, I guess people just download the repo and start fucking around with it. Is that because I'm using a free domain name or it's normal that people don't care. I spend weeks developing these apps, it's still something I can show to prospects but really I want people using these apps or at least make them better and PR. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
[Meta] Can there be a ban on asking “can I learn to program?” Posted: 12 Oct 2018 06:01 AM PDT First of all don't get me wrong I think it's great people want to learn to program. It's a great hobby, tool, skill set, etc Technically, any post asking "I'm X years old, can I still learn to program?" breaks the rules of the sub. The FAQ answers this question and the rules say if you're going to ask a question answered by the FAQ you need to have a reason the FAQ answer doesn't help. None of these have a reason besides wanting personal assurance which isn't a good reason. But in general I've never been in any of those posts where the answer wasn't Yes. Seriously I've never seen anyone say no you can't learn to program. The answer has always been yes, and always will be yes so I don't see the need for it to be constantly asked, it's probably daily. At this point there's probably a huge backlog of posts that people can search and find the answer which is ad nauseam yes. None of these posts are going to have answers unique enough to warrant them, but people aren't interested in the answer regardless they just want their self esteem boost. Obviously if they have an actual question in terms of how to get started it's different, but they should go elsewhere for a self esteem booster to make room for posts with real questions from people learning. The answer is yes forever /threadforever lets just ban them. They don't pertain to learning. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||

[Concept] Creating a relation between cells (Basic DB) Posted: 12 Oct 2018 11:50 PM PDT warning: this is a school assigment Hello guys, my professor asked to do a project about a "kind-of" database in Python 2.7 using Dictionaries/Pickle Library (Files) and everything we learned before (tuples, lists, etc). The main points to follow are:
And here comes the problem, I cannot realize a way to solve this problem. For example, let's say we have School and we have professors and school subjects: Professors
School subjects:
When I consult the table "School subjects" the column "Prof. ID" should show the Professor/s assigned to that subject. Hope this helps to make you understand my point, thanks! By the way, how is called when I'm not in high school and not in college but doing a 3 year carrer? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
Open Source Project for High Schooler Posted: 12 Oct 2018 11:21 PM PDT Currently a junior and planning to major in CS. As a result of living in one of the more tech-involved cities in America, I've had some experience with swift, java, and python. What are some very simple open source projects on Github that even an absolute beginner like myself contribute to? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
Python Mancala board game. graphics window crashing Posted: 12 Oct 2018 11:08 PM PDT i'm trying to create the Mancala board game in Python using only for/while loops, lists, and if statements.

Posted: 12 Oct 2018 11:07 PM PDT I am taking a Python udemy course. However I need something else, something to supplement it. I look at so many resources and am just getting overwhelmed. Can someone name be the best websites that maybe teach and have interactive exercises? Like do it all guides or anything like that? Or just exercises would help, but i would appreciate it if it had what I mentioned also. I would prefer if it was shorter and to the point instead of focusing more on theory. thank you. I am extremely overwhelmed. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
Posted: 12 Oct 2018 10:34 PM PDT Hello! So I want to write a little python script to take data from one site and populate fields on a form on a different site. I want to work on it with friends so I'm putting it up on GitHub so we can all make changes on our own time and remotely. I know I have to use a WebDriver and selenium to get to scrape the data and to populate the those fields, but do I have to include the webdriver in the repo? Would it work like that? Or does each one of us have to install it on our own? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
quick question regarding putchar and return 0? Posted: 12 Oct 2018 09:42 PM PDT im writing this function but it only works when i return the char value? int ft_putchar(char c) { write(1, &c, 1); return 0; // won't work unless i put return c ... However i thought i didn't need to do this? } in main: printf(" %c\n", ft_putchar('x')); thanks for the clarification! :D [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
Writing a simple DnD game in C# Posted: 12 Oct 2018 12:11 PM PDT I see a lot of questions from new programmers who want to learn a programming language and specifically want to write a game. I developed a small teaching sample of a simple dungeons and dragons game in C#. It isn't meant to be a full fledged game but rather an illustration of various patterns one might apply developing such a game. Please see the git repository - feel free to comment or change. https://github.com/johnweeder/DungeonsAndDragons.git [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
I want to actually create something and have it published somewhere, I don't know where to begin Posted: 12 Oct 2018 08:11 PM PDT So I pretty much know some C++, HTML, CSS, Javascript and that's about it. However, I want to create software of some type (something simple) whether it be an app, a simple game, a chrome extension, or a script of some sort that people can actually benefit from. Where should I begin? I know this is hard to answer, but just assume that I have no specific interest in anything. What's an easy place to start? Any ideas? The reason I ask this is because I'm sick of writing console programs in C++ and not ever making anything that can be used by people or be published. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||

How would a non-programmer best "draft" an app for a programmer? Posted: 12 Oct 2018 07:42 PM PDT [To all programmers] I have mediocre skills in JS and Swift, but I'm pretty limited with those skills tbh. I am decent at graphic desig and UI/UX, but no where near enough knowledge to develop an app. (For both iOS & Android) My CS friend (we are in college btw) who is very skilled in many languages has agreed to develop an app that I have thought of as the idea seems enticing enough to him. However, he has asked for essentially a "draft" of the app, including basic wireframes, key app interactions, and a structured layout. How would you, as a programmer, best be interested in my app with a draft I would provide you? What would appeal you and make it seem as enticing as possible? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
Merge sort on a linked list vs array Posted: 12 Oct 2018 03:56 PM PDT So I'm learning a heap of algorithms and their complexity. I ran into merge sort for arrays, and I understand why it's O(n log n). O(n) for the swaps, and O(log n) because you're cutting the number of look ups in half. However merge sort on a linked list is apparently also O(n log n). But I can't for the life of me understand. Because you have O(n) swaps, log n look ups, but you also have to find the middle of the linked list for every look up which is also O(n). What am I missing? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Posted: 12 Oct 2018 07:29 PM PDT I have to play catch up. https://imgur.com/a/KrwKWS7 I had to modify this code. Now I realize when a print a statement it's giving me a square all the time. I feel stupid but don't understand why this is. import turtle name = input("Hello what is your name? ") shape = input("What would you like to draw with the turtle graphics {}? ".format(name)) if shape == "Square" or "square": wn = turtle.Screen() name = turtle.Turtle() # create a turtle named alex name.forward(100) # tell alex to move forward by 150 units name.left(90) # turn by 90 degrees name.forward(100) # complete the second side of a rectangle name.left(90) name.forward(100) name.left(90) name.forward(100) wn.exitonclick() elif shape == "Triangle" or "triangle": wn = turtle.Screen() name = turtle.Turtle() # create a turtle named alex name.forward(100) # tell alex to move forward by 150 units name.left(130) # turn by 90 degrees name.forward(100) # complete the second side of a rectangle name.left(115) name.forward(95) wn.exitonclick() # to make the output hold it elif shape == "Circle" or "circle": wn = turtle.Screen() myTurtle = turtle.Turtle() myTurtle.circle(100) wn.exitonclick() [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||
I have stopped using Stack Overflow. Posted: 12 Oct 2018 07:29 PM PDT I am 16, and I started programming only a couple years ago. I quickly discovered stack exchange and I thought that it was a great way to ask questions. I originally started with AppleScript, because I have dyslexia and I could read it without having to look at the Months later, I decided to learn PHP, because I had some HTML experience. Thankfully, I was able to figure things out on my own and I realized that programming was really awesome! I was still a beginner at PHP and I would ask my questions on stack overflow, but my questions always got comments saying that I should look it up, look at the documentation (which is difficult to understand if you are a beginner), or got several downvotes. Looking back, my questions were pretty well described and related to PHP, but they were basic questions. They never would answer my questions, instead, they would just ask me why I was doing it a certain way or saying that I needed to go into more detail. I do feel that stack overflow is a great place for asking complicated and advanced questions, but it is a terrible place for programmers. One of my classmates said he had the same problem when he tried to use stack overflow. Only a few months ago did I discover that it was acceptable to ask questions related to programming on Reddit. On Reddit, you can ask questions to specific communities just the same as Stack Overflow uses tags. But on Reddit, you can ask newbie questions, and people will take their time to help you understand if you are doing something wrong, rather than marking it as off-topic or commenting "You can find the answer with a google search". Another thing that is great about using Reddit, is that you can actually thank a person for their contribution. In the past week, I have asked several questions to r/laravel, and I have gotten only positive responses and people trying to help me understand why I was doing something EVERY wrong. I think now think that Reddit is superior to stack overflow, at least for beginners. [link] [comments] |
