    I understand the basics of writing code, but I feel like I’m missing a lot more

    Posted: 19 Dec 2021 08:03 PM PST

    I know how the basics of coding. I can make the card game "War" and tic-tac-toe with no trouble. Problem is, I'm just doing them on the console.

    Like the coding part for me is not that bad, it's like math. Just logically thinking through the process step by step was never a hard part for me personally.

    I'm not really sure how to put this in words, but I feel like I'm missing a whole lot more. Things like how the computer runs my code, how my machine communicates with different applications, how my code even turns into a deliverable application, etc.

    I'm learning how to code and how to make applications in my online courses but I still don't understand the "architecture of the operating system" (I don't even know if that's the right way to phrase this). Does anyone know what I'm trying to say and can point me to resources?

    How can people make mods for video games if the games aren't open source?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2021 08:32 PM PST

    Am I misunderstanding how mods work or what open source means? I just don't understand how someone would be able to modify a game if they don't have access to its code.

    MacOS or Windows/Linux laptop for programming?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2021 04:25 PM PST

    I'm a comp. sci. student thinking of making a laptop purchase but I can not decide between the two operating systems.

    With the new ARM based macbooks, I can not install Windows on it so it just has macOS.

    Almost all my professors and classmates use Windows. We have not encountered any program we have to use that is only for Windows yet.

    I'd get a Windows laptop right away if i could find sth reliable, with good battery life and a cpu but all PC manufacturers seems to cut corners somewhere but I can trust Apple to make a good product with no bad parts.

    What do you recommend?

    Feel like I'm forgetting more than I'm learning.

    Posted: 19 Dec 2021 08:57 AM PST

    Hey yall! I'm on month 4 of a full time 6 month program. I'm worried I'm forgetting faster than I'm learning. Does anyone ever get this feeling? And of sp, are there any tips for managing this feeling or retaining material for longer? I'm on a two week break, plan on revisiting my previous project to try and freshen up on the older concepts and patterns we've learned.

    Newbie try to find a mentor

    Posted: 20 Dec 2021 05:06 AM PST

    Hello everyone ! How y'all doing ? This is my first post here, I just put my first step into the programming world !

    I have a little question, is it a good idea to find a mentor ? Because I'm actually learning a new job, the truck driver becoming a web developper ! (Sound weird no?) I'm working exclusively from home and sometime I kinda find it difficult to get the logic behind something when you're alone, even with google search (I've already RTFM a lot of time)

    So I wanted to ask if there's a kind webdev full stack can being my mentor for a while to help me, I'm actually working on Html/Css (I struggle a lot to understand box system and how to have a proper layout), I'll work with Php Symfony and Javascript later, and i'm using Visual Studio Code.

    I do not want any solution, just to speak or work with someone who can explain me the basics and help me to improve !

    Thanks for reading this

    Why do we need a boolean datatype? why cant we simply use 0 and 1 ? Is it syntactic sugar only?

    Genbank file parser and features extractor WITHOUT biopython

    Posted: 20 Dec 2021 05:56 AM PST

    Hey there for an assignment I need to make a python function that can read and extract all dna features, within that file. And return errors were needed and all without the use of biopython. Unfortunately I didn't know that part in before the code review. Soo my question to all you is do you know if any recourses in which this is explained. With keyword genbank file parser, as all I can find is biopython related and I have no idea where to start otherwise.

    Thx in advance.

    How can I write a code that does permutations of numbers?

    Posted: 20 Dec 2021 05:40 AM PST

    So I need to create a project that prints all permutations of given numbers. But the problem is that I dont know how to write this in code.

    Example:

    Input: [1,2,3]

    Output:

    [

    [1,2,3],

    [1,3,2],

    [2,1,3],

    [2,3,1],

    [3,1,2],

    [3,2,1]

    ]

    At this moment I have done this :

    public static int[] swap(int[] numbers, int i, int j) { int swap; swap = numbers[i]; numbers[i] = numbers[j]; numbers[j] = swap; return numbers; }

    How Does Python work?

    Posted: 20 Dec 2021 05:25 AM PST

    Does anyone have any resources to understand the working of python. Not the syntax/ language itself but like the interpreter and how memory is allocated etc.

    Thanks!

    What is causing my infinite loop?

    Posted: 20 Dec 2021 05:14 AM PST

    I am working through colt steel bootcamp. I am doing this todolist project and I have been trying to create them before the codealong. I seem to have gotten it, but my 'quit' does not work. Can anyone give any insight? I am stumped.

    let todoList = []; let userInput = null; while (userInput !== 'quit' && userInput != 'q') { let userInput = prompt('What would you like to do?'); if (userInput === 'new') { let userInput = prompt('What would you like to add?'); todoList.push(userInput); console.log(`${userInput} has been added to the list.`); } else if (userInput === 'list') { console.log('**********'); for (let i = 0; i < todoList.length; i++) { console.log(`${i}: ${todoList[i]}`); } console.log('**********'); } else if (userInput === 'delete') { let itemDelete = prompt('what list item would you like to delete?'); todoList.splice(todoList[itemDelete], 1,); console.log(`${itemDelete} has been deleted`); } }

    Picking languages for tasks

    Posted: 20 Dec 2021 04:59 AM PST

    Hey, all!

    I was wondering if I could get some advice on what language seems like the most effective for a project idea I've been working on. My employer is a company that regularly has to redistribute work assignments while following a union contract, and I was going to develop a program/app that can track assignments, distribute them among workers, and generate filled in reports to help with compliance. I was thinking this project would be best served by Python, but would love any suggestions for better languages to fit this purpose. Thanks!

    Is CodeAcademy Pro subscription worth it for Python?

    Posted: 20 Dec 2021 01:07 AM PST

    I saw they have 50% off for a limited time and wondering if I should pay. Seems like it will be $120 a year (after the discount). Or is it better to put money towards another Python program?

    I know the basics of Python and things like web crawling and flask, so I want to deepen the knowledge.

    The two stages.

    Posted: 20 Dec 2021 04:26 AM PST

    hello my fellow programmers!

    Maybe I'm a beginner but I think I already know the thing the most of beginners(and professionals too) struggling with. I have read a lot of posts here about losing motivation or not feeling good enough about yourself because of your codes or mistakes but I will tell you the two sign that means you REALLY learning CORRECTLY and you SHOULDN'T quit.

    1st stage - When you finish the code or you're coding, it makes you feel SMART

    even it's just 10 lines.

    2st stage - When you make mistakes while coding or don't understand something good enough it makes you feel like an actual SHIT

    yes it HAPPENS and it'll HAPPEN after years too, I believe.

    and it's inevitable cycle.

    the main thing for beginners is to UNDERSTAND what you're doing.

    Don't lose motivation. You wanted it? You needed it? then here you go!

    Wish you good times with your keyboard:)

    How did you know which part of programming was for you?

    Posted: 20 Dec 2021 04:24 AM PST

    I'm a freshman, just started out with CS, no prior coding experience. I've been learning for 3 months. In that time i've been going through everything that peaks my interest. I know what I don't want to be doing long term in CS but the opposite is not true. I know that there's no specific duration of time in which i'll know what I like but I wanted to know what are the right things to do so that this process is more effective and fun!

    Thoughts on native vs. multi-platform languages

    Posted: 20 Dec 2021 12:06 AM PST

    I've dabbled in a few languages like Python, HTML, ect. But I have an ambitious idea that I want to ultimately run on iOS and Android with a web application.

    Obviously I'm biting off a lot more than I can chew but I'm looking for the best place to start and so my question is, am I better off learning swift for iOS, Java or Kotlin for Android, or does something like Flutter or React Native benefit better - keeping in mind I know little in terms of the code structure itself of these languages.

    There's pros and cons to all languages and native vs. multi platform but I'm seeking options on my best approach and advice. Be nice though, I'm curious about leaning!

    Best Into Python Courses/Material?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2021 03:44 PM PST

    Hi, I'm an amateur programmer looking to learn Python in order to get into writing smart contracts for the Algorand blockchain. I have a decent amount of experience in Java as I minored in Computer Science during undergrad. I've built some simple games in Java, like hangman with graphics and midi sound effects, spell checker, and some other stuff so I have some experience. Can anyone recommend me a good course or a good book to start learning python? Thanks.

    edit: I've debated just retaking intro CS with the Harvard CS50x because they use python. Anyone have any opinions on this course? It looks solid for learning python.

    Discord bot help with IDE

    Posted: 19 Dec 2021 11:51 PM PST

    Alright, so I decided to work on a discord bot to spice up my resume and such as well as using the opportunity as a good Segway into learning python, as I'm really only familiar with C++.

    I've started coding the bot, and the code works on repl.it, but whenever I try and run the code on PyCharm, I get these errors:

    http://prnt.sc/23om5l6

    Anyone know any potential causes? I am new to Python and PyCharm, so bear with me

    Posted: 19 Dec 2021 09:45 PM PST

    I am on the phase which i dont know which library to use.i want to do web scraping but there is,scrapy,BS,requests,selium and i just want some clarification is there any significant differences between these libraries?

    What i actually want is:Download a whole website,have all the content organized,tell it to download the whole page as pdf or txt or html,xml,look for specific html tags or look for specific items in the page.What is the most flexible library with the most features?

    Further from web scraping,what are the best libraries to create system apps for linux,create http server,ftp,smtp server and make web apps and webpages what are some awesome libraries that can do that easier?

    What am I missing here?

    Posted: 19 Dec 2021 09:38 PM PST

    I am trying to merge two sorted link lists so I went with the dummy head technique.

    When given

    [1,2,4] 

    [1,3,4]

    I get

    [1,1,2,3,4] 

    but it should be

    [1,1,2,3,4,4] 

    ---

    var mergeTwoLists = function(list1, list2) { if(list1 == null && list1 == null) return null; if(list1 == null) return list2; if(list2 == null) return list1; let dummy = new ListNode(0); let tail = dummy; while(list1!=null && list2!=null) { if(list1.val <= list2.val) { tail.next = list1; list1 = list1.next; } else { tail.next = list2; list2 = list2.next; } tail = tail.next; } return dummy.next; };
