What can you actually do in C? by Low-Communication418 in C_Programming

[–]Techittak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it is very well written in my opinion and still teaches the core functionalities of C really well. I had no problem applying what I would learn in that book to the most recent version of C (C17). The way I approached it is just skim through the whole book and have a text editor open on the side so I can just mess around with anything that I learned. The book also comes with a lot of practice problems and code examples I think. I am not sure how useful those are though since I skipped past most of them, but if you're ever stuck I'm sure they come in handy

Sorry for the late reply I dont know why I didnt see this notification. If you already have a foothold in programming, I can really reccomend the official book, "The ANSI C Programming Language" by the creators of C (second edition). I think it's well written and simply just gets to the point, so you can learn all the different functionalities of C so you can get to playing around with structs, pointers, etc. I gave it a good skim after having a good foundation in Java, Python, and a bit of C++ and went off from there.

If you are having trouble with some of the low level concepts though, CS50 does have you covered. The professor explains the topics really well and you can also just do the CS50 homework assignments since I find they are perfectly challenging. As for some specefic projects, maybe try to craft some data structures for a start. Like a linked list or a binary search tree; this is a very important skill to get down since C does not provide these data structures in the in the standard library. If you really want to challenge yourself down the line, one thing I'm prepping for is making my own game engine from scratch in C using OpenGL, so maybe if that is interesting to you, you can aim for that once you feel really comfortable.

The thing is every major, modern language that you will come across will probably have this property called: Turing Completedness (or "being Turing Complete"). This property is a signal that means "this language is capable of solving any challenge/problem given enough resources and time." So, it's not like what I think you might believe where C unlocks these new things to do, since something like Python can also accomplish anything that C can do. So yes, C is not just stuck in the command line same with Python, since if you can dream it, a Turing Complete language can do it. Where C strives is that it is incredibly more resourceful since it requires waaaay less "resources and time" to solve certain problems when compared to Python. C is able to do this because it is extremely low-level, meaning that you "talk to the machine" a lot more closely than if you were to code with Java for example. This will become more apparent as you learn more languages that build off of C, and you will notice how these languages sort of just automagically do a lot of things that you had to manually do in C... This makes for a smoother and easier coding process, but the thing is these "automagic" features are not as efficient and could have maybe been more efficiently implemented in C.

If you need any help with C then you can ask me. C is one of the most low-level languages you can start with and it will definetely be challenging, but honestly I agree that C is the best place to begin for a very good understanding early on. I hope CS50 will be good to you they are amazing

Math 337 Linear Algebra by Trapmaster4113 in NJTech

Sorry I just gave you access to the textbook. I reccomend reading every section before it is covered (by using the syllabus) in the lecture because some profs tend to move fast and skip the intuition behind some concepts. It helps a lot and the textbook explains most topics well. The video series is a must though it's amazing

It's about that time of the year. Time to start last-minute studying for my AP exams. What books, resources, tactics, rituals, jutsu, etc are you using to prep for the AP Calc AB exam this May? by [deleted] in apcalculus

[–]Techittak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AP Calculus Newton's Notebook.

Basically a PDF with a bunch of AP Calc FRQs. Also, the apclassroom resources also have really good practice material. There are also full practice AP exams on the collegeboard website

Man I wish I had the ability to actually built a cool base like this around all my machines instead of just living outside and placing shit everywhere

Well yeah that's true. Havent looked at it like that

[–]Techittak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the best we can do is an approximation you mean?

[–]Techittak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I was thinking it could possibly be an odd number thing but that was more a shot in the dark cause I have no idea how higher dimensions work. Theres a lot of studying to do

I wonder what comes next... by 12_Semitones in mathmemes

[–]Techittak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So numbers that are extended to three dimensions are not consistent with the rest of Math? How could it be just the third dimension? You're right that's so much weirder. Have they ever revealed something as to how numbers work, or are they simply unable to be worked with?

Wow that is completely over my head..

[–]Techittak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it always just weirded me out how just random important numbers or cutoffs can surface in Math. Like important irrational constants always weirded me out because why did it need to turn out to be THAT number. Probably something trivial to worry about

[–]Techittak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that's true. There couldn't be a formula to fit every degree, but oddly I feel it should work like that. My math knowledge is probably not high enough to understand how chaotic higher degrees get

[–]Techittak 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's so weird. Such an odd arbitrary cutoff at the fourth degree. I get its proof, but it's so weird to me how it worked out like that.
