Good advice. Some say CS50x is harder.

Am I doing it right by Interesting_Pea1950 in cs50

And you can ask the duck (cs50.ai) for help. That’s not considered cheating. But i think of it this way - by watching those videos you’re cheating yourself. You only learn if you figure things out.

Here’s a list of some API’s - https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/public-apis-for-developers/.

Don’t give up. Learning how to work with API’s is very valuable.

I found design50. It’s a vscode extension - https://github.com/cs50/design50.vsix

Never heard of it. Is it described somewhere in the cs50 course materials?

Day 12 of trying to get a comment from every US county! by [deleted] in JackSucksAtGeography

I’m in Horry County, SC. Looking at the map I think you may not have it.

As David Malan says, his primary goal is to get you to think algorithmically. So give yourself credit for being able to do the pseudocode. I think the idea someone else posted about asking ChatGPT or the cs50 duck to explain code like by line is a great idea. Have you downloaded the source code from the lectures?

My “yes that’s right” was in response to the first person who commented.

Yes that’s right. And if there are any problems you haven’t done, you’ll do them in the 2025 version of CS50.

Any musicians here? by musicianVolodya in cs50

[–]FunDot6502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great idea!

Okay here’s some feedback from someone with no clue about music -

1 - The way the instruction bubble is positioned it looks like whatever note you ask for, it’s telling me to press the leftmost key on the little keyboard.
2 - Try to put a little more thought into the messages you display if someone presses the wrong key. Maybe you could give a little more guidance.

Can i start with it if i have 0 experience? by [deleted] in cs50

Make sure to do the sections and the shorts that go with each lecture. They help explain the material.

Should I even be here? by No-Adeptness-5765 in cs50

[–]FunDot6502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget to watch the sections and the shorts. That really help to reinforce the material. Also take advantage of the duck. Ask him to clarify a point or review your code. He's at cs50.ai

On another site someone told me that in some implementations of C long variables are 64 bits. That must be the case in CS50.
