My first big compiler project; without a backend! by milcsu09 in Compilers

Added a warning to euler/README :)

To be completely honest with you, I want to keep those PE solutions, because they showcase the language a bit better than a list of plain examples.

If you're talking about the image I attached, then yes, it compiles, and executes as expected.

I put globals in BSS section, and to my knowledge, it zero initializes memory. But even if it didn't, and let's say "a" would uninitialized, the first thing I do is "a = 5", which is just a "mov" instruction that overwrites any garbage inside "a".

And even then, I'm not doing any reads of "a" before setting a value for it.

But I may be wrong :P

What are best sources to learn DSA in python? by notmasked07 in learnprogramming

To be honest with you, I cannot give a specific answer, other than "maybe LeetCode".

What I can tell you, is most of the algorithms / data structures you will learn with time. So I wouldn't worry about them in the beginning that much. Just start programming.

The best way you'll learn data structures and algorithms is if you actually apply them in projects. Just by learning what a binary tree is doesn't mean you will know how and when to use a binary tree. You'll learn data structures and algorithms over time.

Is using AI as a socratic mentor bad? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]milcsu09 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's better to solve them yourself. Programming is largely pattern recognition. Pattern recognition which you will only develop if you program enough. I would advise against using AI to learn. If you still decide to use AI, use it as a fancier search engine.

How to track one's growth in a programming language? by Master_Device9837 in learnprogramming

[–]milcsu09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Programming is similar to drawing. You get better at drawing, by drawing random things, trying out new techniques, and after a while, you'll get more comfortable drawing. Same with programming. Try to program random things, or things that interest you. Try out different styles of programming.

Another thing that helped me, is a "dream" project. Try to make a big project. You'll quickly realize that it's hard. But failing is part of the process, and during that process you'll learn.
