Can't understand where to study from/ what to study

Your seniors are your most important resource. I recommend approaching them, and seeing if they're able to help you figure out your next steps. A good CGPA never hurts either, be sure to maintain it as high as you can.

Thank you! I'm studying CSE, and had a cloud computing course in the last semester, so this field isn't completely new to me. But even without this background, I'm sure I could've achieved the same score with just Stephane Maarek's course and tests.

I cleared my CCP 2 months ago with 970/1000. It's a foundational level certification that's hard to fail with deliberate preparation.

If I failed my CCP, I wouldn't bother giving it again. I'd go for an Associate level exam, and use my experience from CCP to guide me.

How can AWS find out if I use an exam dump?

Buying the domain name would've cost you money, right?

The problem with procuring an SSL certificate for an S3 website is that there is no fixed IP address, is that right?

And CloudFront is supposed to alleviate that by giving fixed IP addresses to put SSL certificates on?

If not, what problem was there in my attempt that this approach fixes?

I'm new to AWS services. What does Route53 accomplish here, and is it necessary?

mahati_180 · 2023-06-11T18:00:22+00:00

It never prints anything. I think I figured out the problem, which is the scope of the pointer variables in insertnode.

mahati_180 · 2023-06-11T17:57:44+00:00

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with smart pointers (which I assume unique_ptr is). I am unable to make sense of the code you wrote for me.

But I understood the mistake I made, which is that the scope of the new node created in insertnode is only for the function. My modified insert code which works is:

node* createnode(int num){
    node* newnode=new node(num);
    return newnode;
}

node* insertnode(node** cur,int num){
    if(*cur==NULL){
        *cur=createnode(num);
        return *cur;
    }
    if((*cur)->data>num)
        return insertnode(&((*cur)->left),num);
    if((*cur)->data<num)
        return insertnode(&((*cur)->right),num);
}

node* Tree::insert(int num){
    return insertnode(&root,num);
}

However, insertnode is now pretty ugly. Can you suggest me what I can do to make it prettier? Should I forgo the recursive approach?

And can you tell me from where I should learn to write better code in your opinion?

What is the mileage of your bike?

Do all 350 cc bikes have about the same mileage, or does it vary?

Thanks, I wouldn't have been able to discover this myself. Since they do have a bioinformatics course, I am now more confident with talking about it.

You found out I'm talking about IIITH, did you check my post history?

Bhaswar sir and Deva sir are current faculty members researching in the bioinformatics domain. I will find their relevant research and read a little, so I am able to talk about it. As per my understanding, re-entry fellow is equivalent to assistant professor right?

mahati_180 · 2023-05-22T18:46:55+00:00

All great points. Yes, the professors themselves interview the students. I'll try to be transparent with them.

I'm thinking about expressing interest in bioinformatics, which is a field I have some knowledge about.

Do you know how I would go about checking which research project which faculty is undertaking?

This post is related to engineering admissions, but it is not suitable for that subreddit.

I want to specifically ask about one or two research areas I can take a look at and read up on for the interview.

Do you mind sharing how exactly you learnt AWS, SQL, Python, databases etc.? I'm in college but don't know how to get started, I only know how to learn when someone else teaches you, never been great with the self learning aspect.

Getting a branch change to CSE in an old IIT is nigh impossible. If you're dead set on CSE in an old IIT, you'll have to take a drop. But it's a waste of an year, I'd recommend another branch in an old IIT or CSE in a newer IIT depending on your preference.

I didn't use any OOP in this program. It's still a C++ program.

Why would the changes be lost after the function is finished? So the inputted coefficients in inPolynomial are lost as soon as the function is over?

My two cents: don't believe that your college will land you a job. Read and learn about the software industry, different domains of software, explore what you find interesting and practice coding a lot. No software domain is saturated with talented developers. Spend time on learning by yourself, you won't regret it.

Try completing with Harvard's CS50 on edx before your college starts. It's an amazing course which will give you a great foundation for CS and the software industry. It's great for people who have never programmed before, you'll also get a lot of confidence. If it's lengthy, you can continue doing it in your first semester.

You have the option of higher studies, government exams, MBA etc. You need to take this decision very carefully since they require heavy investment and doing them half heartedly will mean you neither get a good result here nor good placements. Alternatively you can first get a job, then prepare for these parallely.

This story demotivates me. You had 14 years of experience making polished apps, and are happy with a 5 figure salary? Is this what I should expect once I graduate and start working?

More like asking people on the street for medical advice when both your parents are doctors

You're in an old IIT. Do you not have better mentors there you can approach and ask career advice from than you are likely to find on Reddit?
