What are useful CS certifications to have on a resume for a student? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:51 AM PDT Hi all, I'm currently at a CC looking to transfer into the UC system. I haven't done my first internship yet, and am waiting till the summer before I transfer which would be a year from this summer. I'll be applying this fall. What are some CS certifications that could really boost my resume as to attract internship offers? Much appreciated! submitted by /u/transferstudent144 [link] [comments]

Why do array indexing begin from 0 in most of the programming languages? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 01:17 AM PDT Here is my quick attempt to answer that: https://youtu.be/2yY7Q7ERqFw Please do let me know if you have any feedback! submitted by /u/kamat_adi [link] [comments]

Is this type algorithm equivalent to merge sort? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 06:59 AM PDT On my last data structures project, we did something like this: Say you have a {[sorted] + [unsorted]} array, where you pull items 1 by 1 out of the unsorted array, and insert them into the sorted array by using binary search to find the midpoint where it should be inserted. It would seem like this is log(1) + log(2) + log(3) + ... + log(n) = log(n!) = O( nlogn ) I ask this because in my CS 111 class, we were taught that merge sort is the fastest algorithm, but to me it seemed a bit complicated to code. The algorithm I described above to me seems no more complicated then binary search with insertions. Coming up, I have a data structures exam and IDK if they're going to give the probabilities sorted, and we get docked 1/2 credit for not having the fastest algorithm, so I just want to make sure that this is equivalent to mergesort. If they are both nlogn, is mergesort technically still faster by using somehow a scalar less amount of operations? ​ Thanks I've also seen this on my discrete HW, where we were asked to show that mergesort is the fastest algorithm by some permutation gibberish that I couldn't understand, but it seemed more like binary search than it was mergesort. submitted by /u/Snowybluesky [link] [comments]

Is there such a thing as Non-Polynomial Time? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:14 AM PDT I'm trying to understand continuous time series functions and I've read a small bit about polynomial time in computer science but don't quite understand the concept. I majored in finance in school and so don't have any formal computer science training. I was reading that a binary process at continuous time is a continuous time series and my limited knowledge figured this might refer to computer science, polynomial time. I'm not sure if this is correct or why it would be called "polynomial" time. Is there such a thing as non-polynomial time? submitted by /u/dqups1 [link] [comments]

Need advice choosing between two sub fields for senior year project and grad school Posted: 18 Apr 2020 07:15 AM PDT It is nearing the end of my junior year in college, and even though I'm a CS major, I've only really enjoyed two CS courses so far and I am having a hard time deciding between two of the sub-fields that I would like to pursue in the future, so I hoped that you'd be able to give me proper guidance regarding this. I took an HCI course last Fall, and up till very recently, I was convinced that I would pursue HCI in my future studies. I felt that it all came very naturally to me, especially the design phase, which I really enjoyed. While I was not a big fan of doing the documentations at the end of each phase, the process that led to the documentation (The gathering of data in the User Research and Testing phases, and doing research on, and designing the UI in the design phase) was fun to me. I've always enjoyed art and design, and have always, or at least have tried to, follow the design principles and guidelines before even being introduced to them formally in the HCI course. I enrolled in a Computer Vision Fundamentals course this Spring, and I took an immediate liking to the course, mainly due to how math intensive it is (I am pursuing a minor in Math, and have done well in all Math courses that I have taken so far, and I particularly enjoy Linear Algebra and Calculus, both of which are applied extensively in the course). I've also been very fascinated by the theory that we've learnt so far in the course. Based on all that I've told you so far, I would pick Computer Vision over HCI, as I feel I really do enjoy it slightly more than I did HCI. However, the only thing that is keeping me from making a final decision is my poor programming skills. I have never been comfortable with coding. There are at least three courses where I did well in quizzes and exams, but still got a lower grade than expected because I could never complete my programming assignments, and they made up a large portion (usually at least 25%) of the grade. In fact, the only reason I'm doing well in the programming assignments for this course is because of python's inbuilt libraries. If I were made to implement those functions myself or use a different programming language, I know for a fact that I would not be doing so well. So while I enjoy the Mathematics and the theory in the course, I'm scared of the programming that I will have to do in the future if I pursue the field. submitted by /u/furqanlodhi [link] [comments]

Posted: 18 Apr 2020 08:39 AM PDT Hey Guys, I made a program to tweet and respond to tweets regarding Covid-19 questions - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LdZRJPh7rk Let me know what you think! Tweet at it and help me break it so I can make it perfect for part 2! https://twitter.com/CovidAsk submitted by /u/coder_et [link] [comments]
