January 2022 Status Update (01/15)
I was a little behind in the CS50 course due to allocating most of my time to the entrepreneurship project. This month I dedicated most of my time to completing the computer science course. I started off with completing Lecture 3 shorts, consisting of 6 videos. Then, I watched Lecture 4 which took quite a long time, 2 hours 40 minutes; I finished the lecture by splitting it into many 20 minute sections where I could make sure to be fully focused. After that, I started Lecture 4 shorts, which consists of 6 videos. Many of the videos are long because this unit explores more sophisticated functions such as ponters. I have 3 shorts left from Lecture 4 and am looking to watch Lecture 5 soon.
January 2022 Status Update (01/29)
After catching up with some lectures, I planned to complete the labs and problem sets. I am now working on problem set 2 which has 2 programs. One of them is readability which uses the Coleman-Liau index which is a formula designed to output a grade level of a text. The formula is index = 0.0588 * L - 0.296 * S - 15.8, where L is the average number of letters per 100 words in the text, and S is the average number of sentences per 100 words in the text. While trying to write my program, I encountered a problem with my coding space. The course changed the coding platform to codespace for the year 2022 and there is a problem with my creation log. This problem doesn't allow me to compile my program, so whatever I have coded in readability does not execute. I've been trying to find solutions. to the problem and came across the idea of downloading VS codespace onto my computer. However, I have to watch a 30-minute lecture on how to install and calibrate it. I hope to get this problem fixed soon so I can get back to coding.
