Study, Day 9

French The app! the cursed app! Just did the bare minimum today. Programming Practice Didn’t waste tooooo much time today :) Manged to figure out what was actually asked for in Python terms and wrote it down as instructions in the file. working at slowly converting them to code now. All the fussing I did over fonts and setting things up yesterday paid off. The editor has receded to tho background and I can just work....

Study, Day 8

French The app is now buggy, since the last update and crashes on me all the time. Am at it though. Python Practice This is stupid. I spent an hour just setting up my environment all over again. This should teach me to do at least a little bit every day. 1 hour of setup 1 hour of tremendous headscratching No practical reasults. Tomorrow hopefully is a better day. The only positive thing is I feel, my mind has begun to crank again....

Study, Day 7

Was on a roll. Went and finished the whole geography textbook. My brains are smoking now. Next step, spaced repetition exercises of all the chapters for two months. MITx, 6.00.1x, Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python Did quite a bit of the course’s exercises. I realise now that I should have just downloaded the course from the Open Courseware site and worked on it at my own pace....

Study, Day 6

Did a little bit of french and geography. MITx, 6.00.1x, Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python Doing compsci but no notes today, because i am busy learning. Am going to have to revisit oop sometime again. will make notes then But to summarise, i learnt oop i learnt about generators, which to me sounds like a tap on a loop. instead of a bucket of water, i get it by the mug....

Study, Day 5

Did some geography for 12th in the morn. Slow, steady, iterative progress there. MITx, 6.00.1x, Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python exceptions & assertions Exceptions What happens when program execution comes across something that it did not expect? like you could go beyond the bounds of a list i try to reference a variable that isn’t there i mix data types. (i dun dis :P 'a'/9) This is basically Python telling me, ‘I don’t get this!...

Study, Day 4

Back at it after a short personal break. Lots of stuff to catch up on! MITx, 6.00.1x, Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python Learning about lists. They are iterable, i can run through its elements one by one and do stuff mutable, i can change things inside them append, will append stuff to the end extend, will take another iterable (another list, for example) and then take those elements one by one, and tack them on the the end of this one i can go back and forth, between lists and strings, converting one to the other and vice versa...
