Faulty battery, kinda a television kind of laptop and using incompatible chargers.

yinkbell:


Sorry about that. I have been following your progress on this journey. I thank God for you that you were able to get another laptop. I saw your passion and zeal to learn so fast which is good.

You are only accountable to yourself. Why can't you ask other people who are in this path to join you so that you will be accountable to one another.

If you don't code or do any task in a day, the other people will like to know your reasons and motivate one another not to relent.

Meanwhile, I got my Laptop last week; a fairly used one. Core i5, 8gig RAM and 500gig.
How do I commence if I am to learn mobile app development? Though I am still thinking of learning other stuffs which does not involve coding.

Which programming language one will use to learn mobile app? Thanks so much.

AlchemyOfCodes:
Am not into mobile app development. But I think flutter, React Native, Kotlin and others are used for mobile app development. Yes, about the accountability ish. I just joined a WhatsApp group where students combining learning skills and schooling help each other in the aspect of time management.

Najdorf:
Nice work OP. Please try and share some of the DSA problems you deal with daily so that we can also have a go at them

I sent you a PM, I require your time for something

guys shit is getting real now. exam is next month, have multiple of test to write in the coming weeks and the worst of it all. My tech journey is struggling. I have not have a decent sleep for the past two days. But am still resilient sha. got my 3rd star on hackerrank today and it kinds of rekindle hope. Will have to go back to my default mode of 1 hr per day. If not for anything, am determined to make the very best out of this semester...better than my previous grades. I have determined that my grades wont suffer cos of tech. I am not desperate to get a job and willing to learn in depth and achieve my goal no matter hw long.

so far so good havent been paying more attention to this tech thing. But have been moving with the speed of a tornado in academics. hope I keep up the tempo sha. I dey keep tech in check...because it consumes and and posess the entire mind and being of an individual.

even the DSA course they carry me where I know know. I applied for a DSA bootcamp. I hope everything turns out well. Now I have started avoiding questions on hackerrank that will take time for me to even decode the question... only focussing on questions with higher percentage pass rate to save time.

wo I wont suggest using java for anyone that wants to learn DSA. java has been a pain in the ass.

Eya Pele but great work, your thread brings back passion. Keep it up, is your laptop okay now ?

AlchemyOfCodes:
Ok guys, I solved an hackerrank question today using nested loops, would have loved to optimize the run time a bit but no time. Sometimes I wonder if all solutions can be improved from say from O(n^2) to maybe O(logn/n) using recursion?

Well I think some problems can't really be optimized, there is a particular one I read in grokking algorithm, can't remember properly about distance; maybe shortest distance to deliver goods to an end point where we have to check every available routes; can't remember... would have loved to re-check but no time.

My question is how one can identify such problems so we don't spend unnecessary time thinking of how to optimizing codes....anyways am not sure of what am saying sef.

Playermayweda:
Alchemy, Leave DSA for now and focus on your school and React. Your priority as a student is to your academics and probably a tech job that will help you pay the bills in school. Since you're learning React, I assume you're a front-end developer like I am. The Job I just got a week ago, didn't need my leetcode or my hackerrank and I'm a student like you also. After your exams you can continue DSA but i feel it's not a priority for an FE dev. God bless bro

What language would you suggest?

Hello sir, Kindly check your yandex mail please.

But the problem started after I tried to implement the history button. I spent hours trying until I finally gave up and moved on to another project.

Now the issue is creating an history button that goes back to a previous state. Say I punched 2+2 and get the result, clicked on the AC/clear button- the history button should return 2+2.

AlchemyOfCodes:
So guys it has been a while. I have been sick for few days. Thank God am better nw. Omo i just pray ASUU doesnt go on strike agian cos the number of courses and opportunities I have dropped for skul... hmm . Anyways, will be doing some react today. hopefully I get to fix that bug that has been hunting me.
