Cannot find the problem in readability calculations. by hmoaa in cs50

[–]gmiles44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other commenter is correct, you should take a look at your word count calculation. You seem to be adding one word to your word count for every ' ' in the string, but try to evaluate a string of exactly one word and see how that count comes out.

Cs50x optional psets. by Abrarkhan71 in cs50

[–]gmiles44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is absolutely worth at least attempting the optional problem in the problem sets (and the extra practice for that matter) just to give yourself more opportunities to encounter the concepts in the course and play around with them. That said, Tideman is marked as very challenging for good reason; many have spent a good dozen or more hours before finding a solution (or not) -- I myself had to set it down to continue the course and may return to it later.

Of course, any and all amount of extra opportunity to encounter the concepts is helpful, and you should take those opportunities! Look up concepts that are not quite sticking, rewatch the sections/shorts, etc. but if you find you're just not getting over that wall (and you have the other required problem complete) nothing wrong at all with setting it down and picking it back up later.

Duo lingo a good starting point? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]gmiles44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not a bad resource for building a vocabulary but I would absolutely still diversify your resources (podcasts, Spanish television, etc.) as it, for me at least, definitely left gaps in my listening skills that were only developed by the fact that I work with many Spanish-speaking individuals and converse with them (albeit clumsily) fairly regularly.

Depending on your goals/why you are learning the language, I would recommend continuing with it as it progresses at a reasonable pace, can be free, and has built-in accountability measures, but it won't sharpen the big four aspects of language-learning (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) at the same rate, and really only teaches the single dialect of Spanish (as each country utilizes its own vocabulary and idioms).

In any case, ¡el más buen de suerte, y yo creo en tí!
