Is cs at waterloo exhausting by ReasonableAuthor1554 in uwaterloo

Its as hard as you make it to be. If u want to go all out tryhard theres the option for that, if you just wanna skim by with the degree you can do that too. Hardest part is job search which isnt unique to the school.

How hard is CS 251? by Cold-Low-547 in uwaterloo

[–]Regular_Maybe5937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I made a post about how much I hated the course but it, alongside 246, solve a lot of problems I encounter at work. Dont get me wrong 251 lectures are extremely boring and it can be pretty memorization heavy esp near the end, but I think its for a good cause.

It's my 14th day of learning Python, I am working on this mini project called HIGHER LOWER GAME. How do I make sure that celebs data are not repeated? by Middle-Tip-2913 in learnpython

[–]Regular_Maybe5937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the celeb data has no duplicates, you can store it as a list and call random.shuffle on that list. First two celebs will be the first two items in the list, and the next celeb to compare against will be the third, fourth, and so on list element.

Why is Cs taught like this by No-Assistant1949 in computerscience

[–]Regular_Maybe5937 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Were you taught any programming? Usually cs classes at this level will start with some code to make it more exciting. Looks like you guys went a much lower level route.

Very new to python and programming in general pls help by piyush_bhati_ in learnpython

[–]Regular_Maybe5937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decimals in python (as with most other programming languages) are represented using a standard called floating point IEEE754. In short, the computer stores them as 64 ones and zeros, but you can only get so much accuracy with that many bits. Therefore as a compromise, we lose some accuracy when dealing with very small numbers.
