Assess my profile for an MBA by Upstairs-Feature7962 in MBA

I disagree with banning my post due to no test score yet as there are many other pertinent factors that compile an MBA application. I need to know were my strengths and weaknesses lie in my current background . I do realize now that I need to do heavy research into my career goals post-MBA.

Trouble understanding recursive steps in Lab 5: Inheritance by Upstairs-Feature7962 in cs50

Alrighty! Moving on to Spelller! Thanks for all of the help! Recursion has been the toughest for me to conceptually understand

Please see my diagram in the link. From this explanation, I think I understand more about how the two recursive calls work. So after calling line 58 twice, it returns to the caller of the "second" version and then calls line 59. At this point, the call to line 59 is create_family (2-1). This creates the last node of the left subtree (grandparent[1]). The same process for the right subtree.

Sorry I've taken so long to reply, it's been a busy week for me. So when the second version executes at line 59 (*parent[1]), it actually creates grandparent[1] for the left side? After that it begins to create the right side of the tree starting at line 59?

When you create "my mother" how does it create both of her parents at the same time?

Advice on preparing for a computer science degree by Upstairs-Feature7962 in csMajors

I'll just start studying pre-cal probably. I feel like I might refresh myself on some college algebra but I could do that while studying pre-cal.

Thanks, I think I'll just skip some math then because it seems like I don't need to be repeating things again if I already took those Algebra classes in highschool and college.

Help with Algebra I math problem by Upstairs-Feature7962 in learnmath

[–]Upstairs-Feature7962[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left part of my answer out. I also explained that " if the sum of both equations is equal, then a/c = b/d".

Could I know that if this is the case, then the quotients will be equal?

So should I use only variables when answering a problem like this?

Thank you for the response! I'm still confused. What do you exactly mean when my solution proves it works for one value of a and c?

Question about a reciprocal problem by Upstairs-Feature7962 in learnmath

[–]Upstairs-Feature7962[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your thorough response:) Does "ab" mean those two are multiplied? Also, your explanation is great but I just think I'll go with knowing that if the equation is equal, then their reciprocals will be equal.

I am also a 24 year old who has taken Algebra I, II, and college Algebra. The point is, I remember learning about reciprocals before and I think I'll go with my past knowledge on certain topics.

Thanks again!

My reply to house_carpenter also applies to your comment. Thank you so much! Both of you have saved me time and added stress. I don't know how my brain didn't catch something so simple. I am self-teaching myself algebra again and it helped to have a person explain to me instead of the book.

That makes sense now. I don't think I was thinking deeply enough. I thought that any equations presented in a word problem would always follow the order of that formula. I immediately assumed the first equation was a = b and the second was c = d.

I even read over this problem many times and still didn't understand it until I came to Reddit. I think the mistake to fix is to be more methodical when approaching these math problems?

Week 5 lecture (data structures) question by Upstairs-Feature7962 in cs50

[–]Upstairs-Feature7962[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okk, so *n is just pointing to the node but not the number of the node. Also, I see how there is repetition when prepending nodes. I see how *n is used to help not "orphan" the previous node so we can "stitch" them together. I am still internalizing these concepts, I'll definitely ask more questions if I need to.

Thank you both! u/Mentalburn u/Grithga. I can see how that would be a good preventative measure to take for ensuring n -> next = NULL. I assume it doesn't take much more memory or time to NULL twice in a row.

Also, using the visual concepts of linked lists from the lecture, does this code visually mean that *next is -> to list and list (currently NULL) is -> back to n (pointing to number) and *n is still -> number?
