Python programming language
My first day of leaning the python programing language which happens to be yesterday, just a day ago right?
I have been so scared of mathematics right from school days, and it didn't occur to me that someday I will be willing to give my full attention, time and dedication to programming languages that involves logic and maths.
It's been a complete 8 months I read @otshotz post here on hive, and I was motivated how he could keep the passion going even though he stopped updating us here on hive about his journey. Just yesterday i was thinking about what to do with my free hours and all I could think of is "Coding", I know programing requires alot more than just what you want to do with your free hours or fun kinda thing. I know programing requires a maximum full attention, and I am willing to give it my time if that is it.
Just in the space of few hours wanted to be a programmer, I have gotten lots of discouragements from people around me, and with the fact that I know nothing about math is really their key points of discouraging me
At the same time, I'm just 21 year old and I still have alot of time to invest on programming and math. Just in few hours, I have leant few things on the python programing language, and some of the basic terms I learnt are.
Python Keywords
and: A logical operator
as: To create an alias
assert: For debugging
break: To break out of a loop
class: To define a class
def: To define a function
del: To delete an object
elif: this one is basically Used in conditional statements, same as else if
else: Used in conditional statements
global: To declare a global variable
if: To make a conditional statement
import: To import a module
is: this on her To test if two variables are equal or not
lambda: To create an anonymous function
None: Represents a null value
nonlocal: To declare a non-local variable
not: A logical operator
or: A logical operator
raise: To raise an exception
return: To exit a function and return a value
True: Boolean value, result of comparison operations
try: To make a try...except statement
Etc.....
I did my first print("Hello, World!"), not just that, I did alot of practice and I was so surprised how I was enjoying everything, I did lots of practicals as of yesterday till now as I type, and have done some of the topics I will mention down below Which includes:
-Numerical Data
-Debugging
-Text Data
-String Data
-Concatenation
-Strings
-Mixed Data
-Output Separators
-Comments
See the error Down below
See the solution down below
So the difference was "#"
I'm currently on "Comments" now and I have been given an exercise to do which I struggled to get right, I was having difficulties solving it at first, and I finally got it. I learnt that in comment you will have to use the # which represents comment in the computer world putting it to the human understanding.
Guys there is alot to all I have leant, and I deeply wish I can actually put them all here for you to read, but time is not by our side as my break period will soon come to an end, and I will need to take some snacks before I start again.
As I got encourage by @otshotz post, I hope someone here get encourage my me too. I know nothing about math but as I type to you now, I have leant alot about mathematics, and it's so super cool, not the way I was thinking about it, it's actually simple guys
The only thing you need is the passion and boom, you will get it right and simple.
Though along the line you may probably get stuck which is very normal as a programmer, and will want to give up, that is why you should make friends with tech guys and programmers so you get to ask questions when you get to that stage, because you will definitely need help at some point, if not always self.
Note: This is just my first step, and I will try to keep you all posted on my journey, hopefully we will get there together huh!
I created the first meme myself with imgflip you can try it out too!
The second meme is credited with my original picture through imgflip
The third meme is credited my be with imgflip
The collage was created with my phone using screenshots I took from my programming learning app
Thank y'all for reading
