Hello guys, welcome back to Ramadhanight's Hive Blog. Today i would like to share my journey on learning code again, and now i've got past my 2nd and 3rd day of learning, there is many new things that got me confused and learned. What do you think i've learned on my 2nd and 3rd day on learn coding ? Let's check it out ! :))
~Preview~
I have a very little experience on coding (if it could said as coding 😅), just formating some excel formulas, little editing on openkore configuration file for Ragnarok Online's bot (got some free bot apps and doing some research about changing some configuration. Yet, i've never able to bot my character until lv 99 😂), and little editing on blogger when i was on high school 😁

I want to learn coding because:
1. It's the Internet era, most of things are using computer and i think understanding coding will help in many ways :)
2. I want to be able to create (or at least understand how set) my own bot (i'm trying the free splinterlands bot i've found on google but it's not performed well and i'm stuck on find out how or where should i edit about it).
3. To help me getting easier job doing blogging on hive. I'm trying to create curation account called @indonesianhiver , yet found out that there so many things i've felt i need to do, maybe bot could help me to reach my vision.
To reach those mission, i got a recommendation by my friend that are advance on coding to learn the fundamental, then trying to find a course about C# or Python. He also recommend a website to learn called freecodecamp.org and a google playstore apps called sololearn. Since i've found my time is still limited, i decide to try to learn by mobile apps called Sololearn.
On my 1st day of learning code with Sololearn, I felt that this apps is very easy to use and very usefull. It has a feature where we could try to code and run it. There is some excercise as well to retest our understanding about things we learned. And on my 1st day session, I've learned about Introduction to Python, Working with Numerical Data, Working with Text Data, and Mixing things up. I shared my 1st day Lesson takeways which contain some great information about the lesson that i've just learned. If you want to see it, please take a look at link below
1st Day Coding Lesson
My 2nd and 3rd Day Lesson Progress and Takeaways
For your information, i just missed 1 day on the course due to limited time to learn in my real life, but i'm back again on 2 consecutive day and on those 2nd and 3rd day of learning code, i'm managed to finish some lesson :
1. Labeling, Storing, and Handling Data with Variables. On this lesson, i learned that we can store important information using variables, then do different operations with it and can output it's value as well;
2. Taking User Input. We could create interact with the user using the input () command that needs to be followed by parentheses and will always returned as a string even if the user inputs a number. We can customize the message we want the user to see whan an input is needed as well;
3. Working With Input. On this lesson i learned that to makes the input() returns as a other than string, we could add a command before it. Example : use int(input()) to makes the input as a numbers, use float(input()) to makes the input as a float, and str(input()) to makes it as a string. We could get a multi inputs as well, and could run some arithmetic operation on it as well.
4. In Place Operators, which let you write code like 'x = x +3' more concisely as 'x += 3', and could use any numerical operation such as (+, -, *, /, %, **, //), and could be use for string concatenation such as x = "hive" that if we print x gave 'hive' output, then add x += "blog" which would gave the x output become a 'hiveblog' ;
5. Booleans & Comparisons. Booleans used for comparing values, which will generate a True or False value. The operators could be equal to (==), not equal to (!=), greater than (>), smaller than (<), greater or equal to (>=), smaller or equal to (<=) which can also be used to compare strings lexicographycally (alphabethical order of words) and can be represented as integrers 1 (for True) and 0 (for False) .
6. If Statements. With booleans, we can use if statements to run code based on certain condition (True condition). The statements in the if should be indented, and the colon at the end of the expression in the if statements is important as well. (Really need to be carefully write the code 😅 ) . Got confused because my code is not working, and later found out that it was because of those little detail 😂
After i finish my session, i got a notification that i'm on 2nd position on some kind of League on the Apps 😅
Here is some picture of the lesson i've got in sololearn
Final Words
Thank you for kindly read my post, i hope you enjoyed this post and could give another view about coding things to help me learn. If you have experience on coding, please let me know which lesson i should take to reach my goals faster and how long it would usually take to be able to reach those goals 😌
Anyway, If you are a Splinterlands Players, I also had giveaway cool CL edition cards up to Epic rarity! (go check my profile, don't missed it !)
