    Just failed my algorithms class and need some advice learn programming

    Just failed my algorithms class and need some advice

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 02:54 PM PST

    So like the title says, I just failed my Algorithms course and I feel like complete shit. I felt like I understood everything that the professor says during lecture but when it come to writing my own algorithms I struggle hard. I'm not to sure if it is the teaching method or me not trying hard enough but I wanted to know if there was any way I could better prepare myself for when I eventually retake the class.

    The main way that the course is taught is through showing the proofs of existing algorithms such as BFS, Dijkstras, and some sorting algorithms. The homework then is to use those algorithms we are taught to solve problems. In this part I did fine in. The exam however has me writing my own algorithms to solve a specific problem. For some reason I completely blank out with problems like this when it is peusdocode. I am mainly wondering if any of you had this problem or any suggestions on how I can be more prepared for this next time.

    Thanks

    Please Help. Capturing form inputs when the API is called. "JAvaScript"

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 08:09 PM PST

    SOLVED!!

    Thanks for the help folks!

    ​

    So, now that I am about 15 hours in, redone the project 5 times, I thought it would be best to try to here. I am only a couple months in here too, so please bare with me.

    I am working with a Webpack connecting to an API. In one folder, all is good, and everything is up and running perfectly. Per the assignment (YES, we are allowed to seek help outside classmates) though, we are to be separating our logic in 2 separate folders. The main.js has my button, etc., and scripts.js has my api saved to a promise which I have exported to main.js.

    When I make the API call, I am trying to query whatever the user inputs into the input field. I am then using template literals to concatenate the input field into my url string in order for API to retrieve that specific information.

    That said, I cannot for the life of me get my the users input into my string because my button is in the other folder and so is the document.ready() function. I think it keeps grabbing the value when the page loads and then my query never makes into my url string. I have tried using a callback to get the value, only to call it from inside the promise, etc., and cannot get it going. I will be happy to leave my the github link to the project, if someone wanted to take a quick look.

    THank you so much ahead of time... Can't wait to get this done.

    Better Doctor API . Not sure about giving API key out cause i am not familiar with security concerns -apologies.

    GITHUB: https://github.com/ratta2ii/better-doctot-take-5.git

    src/scripts.js lines 6 and 14 is the field I am referring too.

    I tried saving it directly inside the promise too, just FYI.

    Working in enjoyable fields being self employed.

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 11:58 PM PST

    Hello, I'm here to ask if anyone could give some advice on my situation. Thanks.

    Basically, I'm a newish programmer that is still quite young, and I'm confused as to which field I should gain a more specialised knowledge in for the future. I've spent a long time bouncing between different fields and technologies in the programming world to get a taste, and have came to the conclusion that I can't stand frontend development, but I really enjoy the more logical stuff.

    I've built educational full stack websites, mobile apps, dabbled in some random hobby projects like arduino, machine learning, etc and have realized my interests. I just hate spending hours aligning and styling elements on a page, and I usually end up spending nearly twice the time on UI than I would on logic, and it's really getting monotonous. Anything logical, server side, machine learning, etc I really enjoy.

    I don't want to work with UI, and want to specialise in a field away from anything majorly involved with UI development, but this is where my problem lies. It would be relatively simple to chose a career path as a server side dev or other technical role, however, I intend to be self employed.

    The freelance market is dominated by web development, specifically the requirement for full stack web devs, working on both ends. I was a bit disappointed to find there was little work in solely logical roles.

    So my question is, what field would you guys recommend for me to get into? Should I bite the bullet and join the crowd of web devs, or is there a decent market I've been missing for more technical jobs as a freelancer?

    Thanks for any suggestions, and I'd like to hear any self employed ventures you get involved in.

    What is a daily 'to do list' like for your developer job?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 12:10 AM PST

    I'm a hobby programmer and always had a large disconnect between understand what it takes to code up something for personal use and the work done as part of a team or company on a larger project. I know this question might seem very basic, but just understanding the specifics of some real life jobs would be really helpful in understanding the tangential skills that go into software development outside of raw coding.

    Tried to learn many times but ended up procrastinating

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 11:40 PM PST

    I started different courses in udemy for atleast 4 times and it went for a few days/weeks(I learnt a lot). Then I missed some days and those turned into weeks and into months now. I bought many courses from udemy but hardly finished any of them. When I learnt I enjoyed and felt like I should code all day. I am I would do better if I had someone pressurizing me or running behind me to learn everyday. I don't want to die without being a proper developer(web dev). Please help me as I am thinking to start learning again since last few months but I feel what's the point of starting again when I know I won't finish.

    Udemy?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 09:57 PM PST

    So I'm very very new to programming. I happened to notice that udemy is having a black Friday special. The price drop really does seem exaggerated. A lot of them are program courses that are supposedly 199.00 to 9.99? Anyways, my question is that are any of these worth buying?

    How hard would it be to create a program that used speech pattern recognition to have a conversation with?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 09:22 PM PST

    I was thinking in the context of creating a program for people to talk to when they're upset, akin to a call line or something.

    (I have a psychology background as well, so implementing CBT and other therapeutic techniques wouldn't necessarily be an issue.)

    It wouldn't replace a psychologist or anything like that, but something to talk to when you need something quick.

    Additionally, you would train the user to express themselves in a specific way, much like actual therapy, so I think it would get easier over time, as users learned how to express themselves better.

    Word document sorting?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 07:56 PM PST

    Hi,

    Does there exist a tool (or macro) that can be written to sort documents (the content inside the document, not the title) into organized folders?

    The situation is that I have a folder filled with hundreds of word documents. All these word documents have news clippings in them. Is there a way to search the content for keywords (for instance: "stock market inflation") and have the macro/program flag it up and/or sort it into relevant folders?

    Thanks in advance!

    Complete noob to programming. JavaScript or Python? More details inside

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 09:25 AM PST

    Hey all!

    I've been going over the idea of my interest in programming that I've had for a long time. As a teen I learned the basics of HTML and CSS which allow me to fumble through creating a basic website and understanding most of the code that is put in front of me. I feel like my ability to be creative has gone stale due to a lack of knowledge in JavaScript -- that and I just want to expand.

    So here is my issue. There are several components to each language that I need help with.

    JavaScript: This would benefit any web work that I could work on. It also applies to the Unity game engine which I tend to use every so often when I'm feeling creative. Lastly, it also has components of hacking which I haven't entered the world of, but has always intrigued me.

    Python: Great for automation, from what I've heard is an amazing language for beginners to pick up on. This would also help me in day-to-day tasks at my Job.

    Which language should I focus on to learn the fundamentals of programming? I already picked up a couple of free courses on Udemy - one being Automate The Boring Stuff, as well as a JavaScript fundamentals course. I feel as if I need to just buckle down on one and focus on that specific language until I have a better grasp on the core concepts of programming.

    Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!

    Edit: It's safe to assume I have little to no knowledge and experience. I would rather learn from the ground up and repeat concepts I'm already familiar with than to be overwhelmed with things I don't understand.

    Time-based events - What, where and how?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 12:27 AM PST

    I tried to google for some answers, but I got back some generic, unhelpful and mostly not even programming related results. Probably my fault for using bad search terms. So I turn towards this subreddit for answers to some basic questions.

    Now, everybody knows how to program a store application. You know, products, prices, number of products available, customer data, etcetera. There are way too many such tutorials out there.

    But they mostly omit one crucial feature of a store. Sales. Now I understand there are most likely as many solutions to this problem as there are programming languages, DBMs and frameworks combined.

    But I still lack understanding how exactly would one implement a store feature which tracks when sales begin and end.

    It doesn't even have to be a store. Another similar concept would be user privileges, you want to give user XYZ specific privileges for exactly 8 minutes and 22 seconds, not more and not less.

    Which databases (SQL and NoSQL) have built-in features to help with keeping up with time-based events such as these? And should your application become under such stress that it collapses under its own weight, how does it resume watching those time-based events in a way that it doesn't miss a beat and forget to end a sale, or remove those user privileges?

    From the following code, I was expecting the output to be 10:

    int x=0, y; for(int i=0, x=0; i<10; i++, ++x) y=x; printf("%d", y);

    But it is coming 9. Why is it so?

    Vector graphics programming with good typography

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 11:21 PM PST

    Hi all,

    Basically, I'm trying to find a replacement for TeX and its extensions or if not, at least understand why it has the monopoly.

    I know many programming languages have vector graphics support, even PDF creation, but I didn't find anything about their concern on typography and all those small but useful improvements TeX does. Basically, if they want to produce a good looking page, they call TeX in some way.

    But maybe (hopefully) I'm mistaken. So hoping that this question is not out of place here, I'm asking: do you know of any programming language that has good libraries for producing vector graphics (eps, svg, pdf) and -- bonus -- even has a good PDF creation library that does not rely on TeX, but still has good settings for typography?

    Note that I am aware of various TeX derivatives and extensions, such as LuaLaTeX, using Lua.

    If this is the wrong sub, please excuse me and direct me to a better one.

    Self-taught looking for advice

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 10:53 PM PST

    I had done some college but I didn't finish so I consider myself self-taught. I managed to get a job as a software developer. The job's main focus is web development. I wouldn't like to be that developer that only knows X technology stack. I've kind of been through the basics like data structures, algorithms complexity, low level stuff like assembly and how a computer works broadly. What are some must knows for a software developer and for a web developer?

    Is it weird to need a hand holding teacher and peers to go through the foundations?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 10:34 PM PST

    I know a lot of SWE are self taught but I was recently accepted into a boot camp and it's kind of frustrating that I have no one to talk my code over with while learning the fundamentals.

    They give you basic assignments and then throw a huge test at you where they sit watching you when you've never really spoken out load about it ever or know if your 100% doing it right.

    I feel like I can learn x10 more of I'm actually working for someone and having to vocalize what I'm doing also having someone just lecture or drill down the basics by repetition like when learning any new subject.

    Am I better off just going back to school?

    I feel like an outlier and I feel like I'm not doing something right by not understanding it 100% the first time through.

    Need help making a singly linked list divide into 3 smaller singly linked list

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 10:03 PM PST

    So, this is for my final project and I had to create a deck of cards in a linked list, shuffle them, and them deal the cards into 3 separate players hands (one user and two computers). When 'dealing them I cannot seem to get it right, I am not really sure where a problem would occur as I have just recently learned linked lists. The creation and shuffle work fine, as well as the print function which I would think would mean the error is in the dealing function. Here is the function in question:

    void deal(card *deck, card * player, card* comp1, card* comp2) {

    card\* temp; int i; temp = deck; for (i = 0; i < 17; i++) { temp = temp->listp; player = temp; temp->listp = NULL; player = temp; while (player != NULL) { player->face = temp->face; strcpy(player->suit, temp->suit); player = player->listp; } } for (i = 0; i < 17; i++) { temp = deck; temp = temp->listp; comp1 = temp; temp->listp = NULL; comp1 = temp; while (comp1 != NULL) { comp1->face = temp->face; strcpy(comp1->suit, temp->suit); comp1 = comp1->listp; } } for (i = 0; i < 17; i++) { temp = deck; temp = temp->listp; comp2 = temp; temp->listp = NULL; comp2 = temp; while (comp2 != NULL) { comp2->face = temp->face; strcpy(comp2->suit, temp->suit); comp2 = comp2->listp; } }

    ​

    }

    I would appreciate any help you or advice you can give me.

    New to programming, starting on HTML5 first

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 08:34 AM PST

    So about a month ago I switched my learning over from IT to Web development. I don't start the school year till May 2020 so I've takin the liberty of learning some coding before I actually get to learning and in school. I bought a $11 book about HTML and CSS and have been lookin at tons of HTML for beginners videos. Am I on the right track by learning HTML first? I've seen a lot of ppl say learning HTML should be the first thing I learn to code. Any tips on how I could improve would be greatly appreciated
