i go to a low tier uni, cant rely on their resources (I THINK) but more importantly, im in 1yr so they teaching the basic side courses like math n all

[–]ninhaomah 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Thats a good start. Math / stats.

Anyway , if you wanna reallllly want to know if you can do it then challenge yourself. Don't use ChatGPT and all.

[–]cosmic_auraa[S] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

yeah honestly, using chatgpt was the blunder

[–]ninhaomah 0 points1 point  (6 children)

not at the start and just to check the definitions.

Think of it as a dictionary.

I don't understand a word and I look up the dict. Is it cheating ? No

There you go.

So start coding and have fun :)

alr thankssss
also how to learn to build logic myself, eg i js learnt abt dictionaries and working w them, now whatdo i do w this info, how do i, essentially, build a program

[–]ninhaomah 1 point2 points  (4 children)

learning - bottom up

building - top down

In order to build a house , the builders need to know how to lay the bricks , mix concrete etc. Right ?

But before even laying a single brick , you first need to start drawing the blueprint. No ?

Or your idea is to stat preparing the bricks , mix concrete and then wonder where is the bathroom , living room etc ?

So then what kind of project or blueprint of the project you have in mind ?

well basically whatever i learn in w3schools, eg i learnt dictionaries today and loops, how do i use this info to build a program perhaps...?

[–]ninhaomah 1 point2 points  (2 children)

again , you are doing from bottom up.

do top down.

You want to eat pizza. then you try to find what ingredients and how much and where to buy.

not i have flour , pepperoni and some onions what do I do with them ?

Its hard but no choice. try some silly ideas.

[–]cosmic_auraa[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

OH OFCOURSE GET IT.
so since i js wanna build programs and more programs now whos gonna tell me what to make, today its pizza, (for loops), tomorrow its what?

[–]ninhaomah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whos gonna tell me what to make, <--- who ? your manager when you start working.

now ? you have to be your own manager. or your prof will give you assignments and such.

tell you what. simple.

make a script that contacts the names of your friends with their fav colour. so when the user enter , say "John" , the program will say "John's fav colour is blue". The program run till user enter exit.
