99.99% of the comments so far are barely scratching the surface of programming. like 10% of programming

Nobody mentioned skull-cracking algos and (data structures) like
dijktra's algorithm, lee's algorithm, shortest path in a maze,
BFS and DFS, kruskal and kadane etc . . lol

My advice is to learn a better programming language. PHP is dying

Hamman1:
what are these ones saying?.. Lol

COdeGenesis:


What the fk are these ones? Probably advanced ones and barely 10% of people use them

Corlahworleh:
Any programmer in kano that can be mentor for me

LOL . . . hahaha, thats what you feel , right?
Remember we have O Level, then Bachelors, then PhD and , , , u know d rest
There are levels to this.

Good topic..
Mine is global and local variable. Still confusing till date.

Not also feeling the numpy, matplotlib etc syntax... I just feel it is just too complicated for no just cause.

And why so many programming languages? It is so confusing. Almost like having different English languages... I don't just get it. Why not stick to one language that can address all needs?

mayorkent:
Mine is OOP in Python ,

Mertedesigns:
These are the exact challenges I'm facing. Have you mastered them now?

dometome:
local and global variable aka variable scope, is like toilet, the one in your house is only accessible by you, not your neighbors, so also the toilets in their various houses, but the public toilet in the street or town is accessible to all of you. So the local variables are the toilets in your house, while the global variable is like the public toilet. You cannot just run into your neighbor's house and use his toilet, do you? But you can use the public toilet whenever you want, not so?
So any variable inside a function is accessible to only that function, not the neighboring function. But the global variable is accessible to all functions in the script. What language are you learning please? It is JavaScript I am learning.

XXLDICK:


you have enough time to waste sha. you are learning dying technologies. who still uses jquery? PHP?

peacettw:


Thanks a lot. That part of the explanation has been quite clear to me. But then you see some questions, and when you try to answer it with the same logic, the answer turns out to be wrong. Will post some of those questions here.

I am learning python. I have my sights on being a data scientist. So learning both python and R


Found some questions. Kindly explain the outputs

#Programming language is python

a = 1

def f():

print(a)



def g():

a = 2

print(a)



def h():

global a

a = 3

print(a)



print('global : ',a)
f()

print('global : ',a)
g()

print('global : ',a)
h()

print('global : ',a)

I am just trying to let you visualize the situation using real life objects.

My question is how lucrative is programming as a career in Nigeria lucrative

sammysmiles:
We that deal with further maths and physics,,,, I don't think computer programming is as difficult as those...

Karleb:


Bros no lie, when was the last time you wrote your own binary search algorithm for a client?

peacettw:


I know. But the questions I see with their output don't strictly follow your analogy. Hence my confusion

Hinokami:


Not a programmer here but into Data Analysis..If you are interested.

dometome:
in JavaScript, if you declare a variable outside a function, every function in that script have access to that variable, but do not have any access to variables that are declared inside another function. But if a function is declared in that same function, it still has access to variables declared in that function. It is very simple. I think you should switch over to JavaScript, the language is simpler than python. After you learn python. If you do that, learning python will become to you, a breeze. The only downside is you must learn HTML, (one week) CSS(one month) JavaScript (3 months). If you can, please do It, but if you can't, then focus hard on it. You will overcome. I switched programming language, and I don't regret it. They are all the same thing, just tiny differences here and there.

peacettw:


Dabbled in html/css/javascript years back... Kinda quit when learning javascript. Not interested in web development. Want to be a data scientist hence my interest in python/R programming

dometome:
it is not about being a web developer, it about learning programming. The same skills you have in JavaScript is what you will need even in C++. That is the angle I am coming from

peacettw:


Oh. Online, an overwhelming majority of sites believe that python is the easiest programming language to learn for beginners

Regex:


It took me few hours to wrap my head around that THIS keyword in Javascript. I don't know how it happened, but I did it.

The hardest topic for me which I'm still trying to wrap my head around is OOP in python, and regex.

COdeGenesis:

How is PHP dying biko? Almost 9 in 10 websites are built on PHP

So the above was my initial comment but from the look of things people are going Javascript now i.e Nodejs
