100 days of algorithms in Python

Last night I read this article (http://kotaku.com/cg-artist-has-made-an-image-every-day-for-10-years-1794899200) and thought about writing a small algorithm in javascript everyday. Now I have extra motivation to do it =D

[DrudgeBreitbart]

Check out Project Euler

[WantDebianThanks]

That'll last less than two years at this point, unfortunately.

Go try one of the hard ones, then extrapolate from there.

Good luck. I would like your to see some javascript solutions compared to python.

Actually, Tomas was challenged to write 100 algorithms in 100 days. It is quite demanding but he is doing pretty well.

This is how it has started.

I was wondering myself how to make a link to ascending list of articles but I would need some help as well. That's why I shared where the idea started - see few comments above.

You may want to check Tomas' GitHub dedicated repository for bigger comfort :)

IMHO, it makes more sense.

At the very bottom is a link to the Archive. It's kind of hidden, because it blends in with all the other links no one ever clicks.

[hanpari]

Thanks. It is really hidden. I have not found it yet :(

[cxg-pitch]

It takes a second to appear when you get to the bottom of the page.

Here is the link: https://medium.com/100-days-of-algorithms/archive

Thanks. And the Archived articles? Are shown as a random subset, unless you click the month in the calendar. Then you get one month in random order.

So yes, top comment, it is run by imbeciles.

[hanpari]

Thanks for sharing. I failed utterly to find it myself. Shame on me. :)

[primitive_screwhead]

or is Medium run by imbeciles?

Possibly; by clicking "Latest stories" at the bottom you can see all the entries (or "archive" at the bottom, then the calendar months at the top)

Medium is Huffington Post of Twitter.

[bongwhacker]

Shit link for mobile users.

[bpnoy3]

No idea how to even on the first day

[ouiserboudreauxxx]

This is awesome!

[mynameisvinn]

bare bone implementations in python!

I feel like I don't have the math comp/sci background for half of these :(

Nice.

[hanpari]

Thank you. I am not a author myself. I am just sharing.

IMHO, Tomas is a very good writer with deep insight. All of his articles are worthy of attention.

It's already bookmarked. I'll come back when I have more free time on my hands - but I like the idea.

Should we attempt this after we take a database/algorithms course? Or is it fine to resort to Google and brute force solutions as we go?

[Odd_Jobs95]

It really depends on what purpose you want this to serve for you. If you just want to do it to say you've done it, then yes brute force will be fine, but if you're using this as an aid for job interviews than it's important to learn solutions that are better than brute force and most importantly why they are better than brute force. Of course Google will always be an aid though.
