Week 2

 During week 2 I did some more same difficulty problems but oddly couldn't submit them through the website, but I'm sure they work. First Problem is taking the "long" words and shorting. This was pretty easy I just took in a number (n) then if I looked at the "next"(String) and checked if the its between the length of 1-100 characters, then if it was more than 10 in length and if it was I would then Print first letter, the number of letters between the first and last, and then the last letter. Pretty easy but I was confused on format because I thought I was suppose to make it so that it would take the 4 inputs and then output them. But I figured out that you can copy the whole input and you'll get the desired output.

For the second problem, I need to take lines of ints, which have 3 numbers that dictate the certainty of three people 1 being certain and 0 being uncertain. So I did a nested for loops to go through array of numbers and made counts to count the ones in each row and if the count of ones was 2 or more then, I would add to the output count, which means they would write the solution. At first It reminded me of a homework assignment I did for csc 240 where I would read in a file that had 20 lines with 3 numbers on each line and you would decided if the numbers make a perfect triangle. The challenging part was they took those numbers as string ,so what I had to do what cut the string up to each space and convert the string into int save each of the numbers check if they make a perfect square then move to the next line. Keeping that in mind, I tried to do that for this code but I couldn't figure out how to do it because the assignment that I did was C. I figured out I was just making it much harder because I didn't need to take in the numbers as string and that made things much simpler.

    Interesting work. For the first problem, I too can relate to being confused about formatting. Sometimes the problem itself is not hard, but the formatting can throw you off. For the second problem, I do not have much to ask since it's straight forward. I can it's application for maybe surveys. Also, sometimes the answers can be obvious. I've had a somewhat similar experience in MATLAB where I write in the numbers as strings in a cell (similar to matrices in that it organizes values into rows and columns but distinct in that it you can put any character array) using the num2str function, only to find out that character arrays in separate cells did not need to match, and I just had to type in the numerical value. The answer can be simple at times. Anyways, great work!

Week 9

 Today I looked at some interesting videos of some leetcode videos, which use problems that show up at coding interviews. I watched a guy who was prepping for interviews by running through these problems and talking about them. First Video was about locating islands. (pic of the instructions below) So hopefully you can see how the first input has only one island because all the ones are surrounded by zeros. It's kinda hard to see at first but it helped when he points out why in the video. He talks about the problem and comes up with a pretty straightforward solution. He says he will use a breadth first search(BFS), which I've done a bit of research on before in my week 6 of last years blog. Breadth first search when used on binary search trees takes a node and searches all of its nodes, so I can see how it can apply to this problem. Breadth first search will take one island(1) and search all the 1s connected, which is an island, so when it can't find anymore it means there ...

Week 10

 This week I found an interesting problem that was exactly like a problem I did in my class this semester, csc 230, but instead of mips I did it in java. The problem is fizzbuzz where you take a number and if the number is a multiple of 3 print fizz and it its a multiple of 5 print buzz and if its a multiple of both print fizzbuzz. There are two method one(first one) is the one that was in a video where I discovered the problem and the second one is me doing it the way I thought of. The problem was pretty easy but the way it did intrigued me because It was different than mine his felt much more clever than mine. What he does is creates variable fizz and buzz so when fizz equals 3 and buzz equals 5 we reset and add to the arraylist but its cool that he does this by using variables to keep track of the fizz and buzz. So fizz for the first 10 will look like this 0,1,2,0,1,2,0,1,2,0,1 for buzz its 0,1,2,3,4,0,1,2,3,4,0 at all zeros after the first zero will add the respective word....

 Today I did another leetcode problem. Like last week I found a similar problem to one I've done in class but with a different language but instead of mips this time it is in C++. I'm starting to think my 240 teacher was making us do these problems on purpose haha... anyway, the problem this time is called valid parenthesis or matching brackets is what my 240 teacher called it. I knew the basic rundown of the problem and tried to code it. But to give a brief rundown we are checking if all brackets "("  or "{"  or "[" are closed correctly. Fortunately, I was able to directly translate the code for the most part, so we can see the tiny differences between c++ and java.  We see in the two pictures below that c++ looks a little different. In java we see the stack as new stack but in C++ #include stack and we dont need to new. In C++ the string as treated a char arrays so we dont need to do charAt in C++ they already are characters and in this respect i...
