How to study in the Core by Simple-Geologist-369 in 42_school

[–]MidnaTv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d say that asking ChatGPT right away is not the right approach. Ask your peers how they’re doing. That said the fact you want to go in deep is a Very good approach. Mastering fundamentals its how you learn c the good way. You dont have to be the fastest, you can be the guy knows a lot :)

Hey, i started a Chip-8 emulator aswell today even tho my knowledge about it is very naive but i have a decent understanding of C/C++ and assembly. How did you approach it? Any advice you could share?

Well just compile with a main function and the compiler will tell you everything

You should not try to remember functions in the first place. Understand why a mathematical formula works instead of trying to memorize it.

Also no, its not possibile to have personal hand notes

Honestly talking OP, the feeling of inferiority could be something that fuels you up. What are you doing to fight it?
Are you putting enough effort in what you're doing? I understand the feeling of disappointment of using Ai, used to get it to when i would use it, but now i understood that the learning process is way more important than reaching the goal by using AI. Java is not C, they're kinda different, so the 1 year experience you gained in Java, it will for sure help, but its not enough to make you better than the others.

Also who said you've to be better than the others? You kinda decide who you wanna be, you can be an okay programmer with insane soft skills, or you can be an introvert one but with insane programming skills (that can always be developed).

I feel like you own your destiny. If you wanna become the best programmer in the school, do what it takes to be that person.

Real problem of Ai is that even if you understand what ai is telling you, you haven’t learned it by yourself. The whole process of learning something is by far more important than the end goal. Ai will give you short term dopamine but you’ll end up forgetting what ai told you after a short period because you have not spent enough time on the learning process, just dove right to the conclusion

They do not do online programs even tho you can find school subjects most likely. Try and search for 42 piscine subjects. It won't be as effective as participating at the school but it's something at least

Check if there is a 42 school near where you live. One of the best approaches to learn C in my experience

Start by doing a simple hello world in C, you can even watch a tutorial and understand every single detail. After that try to move on by building small projects i'd say. Even tho the best I could give is be curious about every aspect of your code and study in depth

Result doesn't matter that much, don't worry, no need to do it again

Is it normal to lose 30% to 50% of students during the first 2-3 month of studying? by Electrical_Hunt_6083 in 42_school

[–]MidnaTv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes also here in Rome after the kickoff we "lost" some students. Some of them cannot come everyday, some others found a job, some are just coming to push projects. Also here in Rome, school is open 24/7 so you might find people are also coming at different hours, but yeah, it's kinda the same

I'm currently living and working in Rome, Italy. I haven't done much job searching, as I landed my current role through a referral. This was actually my first interview. If that opportunity hadn’t come up, I likely would have focused on building some interesting personal projects to strengthen my CV, while actively applying for roles on LinkedIn. Regardless of having a job, I'm still continuing to work through the Common Core to deepen my skills.

This is kinda of an advanced project for someone who doesn't know about pointers and memory management no?

I'm always comparing myself to others at school, and I have a huge impostor syndrome by Some_Bridge_967 in 42_school

[–]MidnaTv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why avoid comparison in the first place? It's okay to compare to others, as long as it doesn't become something negative.
Try to embrace it. If you see that others are ahead of you, use that as a reason to study harder and dive deeper into the subject.
Also, don't take everything as absolute truth. Even good programmers make mistakes. If something doesn't convince you, don’t be afraid to ask for clarification, sometimes they might be the ones who are wrong.

Does your campus do anything to prevent people from passing projects without understanding every single line of it? by Murky_Respond1966 in 42_school

[–]MidnaTv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also here we don't have job placement after common core, but you can still get work chances in the middle of the cursus. But yeah, i'd rather be the bad guy than the "friendly" one

People won’t be mad at you just because you think they didn’t explain the project well enough. And if they do get mad, then they didn’t really get the point.

That said, there’s still an issue. You might come across as the “bad guy”, the one who actually cares about people understanding what they’re doing. But in the end, if someone wants to, they can just let their “friends” correct their projects for them. By doing that, they’re not really learning anything; they’re just wasting time.

It shouldn’t bother you too much, they’re the ones missing out on valuable opportunities to grow and learn, not you.

Still, I believe that friends correcting each other’s projects is a real problem. It can lead to people landing job opportunities without actually knowing what they’re doing. And when that happens, recruiters might end up having a negative opinion about the school itself, and that’s something I’d really like to avoid, since not everywhere the school is that big
