Fixing it

Today, the first day of 6 weeks of live projects. Trying to figure out how to use SendGrid in C#'s .net framework. I was following the tutorial provided by Microsoft when I was momentarily held back by red squiggly lines. Googled. Got confused. Stared at the solution some more, and somehow, it began to make sense. The tutorial is old and uses an older version of SendGrid. I had 2 options. Migrate to the latest version or uninstall and install the old version via Package Manager Console in Visual Studio. I'm still trying to figure things out, so I decided to go with the later option and use the older version. The red squiggly lines are gone and I'm feeling just a smidgen more pleased with myself. 
Note to self: Do not panic when encountering red squiggly lines.

Deviants in a normal world

It's definitely been a bit since I've seen this graphy. Anyone who has learnt about standard deviation knows this graph. Standard Deviation Standard deviation shows us how spread out all the values in a set are from the mean. The higher the standard deviation, the more spread out the values are over a wider range and the flatter this curve. In a normal distribution, most values are within 1 standard deviation from the mean(the green part of the graph). Apparently NumPy can calculate standard deviation too! import numpy numSet = [ *lots of numbers* ] numSetStdDev = numpy.std(numSet) Variance The variance also indicates how spread out the values in a set are. It measures the average degree to which each value differs from the mean. variance = standard deviation ^2 import numpy numSet = [ *lots of numbers * ] numSetVar = numpy.var(numSet) Source:  https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_ml_standard_deviation.asp

Snakes and ladders

I've started on my Python course. So far, the code has been familiar because the first few basic codes are similar to Javascript. And then modules happened. Confusion and despair! What is the world is 'if __name__ == "__main__": ' and why must I reach this section of my course on a public holiday when none of the instructors are in :( Stack overflow to the rescue, providing me a lifeline while I was drowning in a pit of serpents. I feel eternally indebted to a particular Mr Fooz.  Picture from  here From my understanding, when the Python interpreter reads a source file, it first sets the variable __name__ and then it executes all the code in the file. If that particular file that you are running(i.e. your module) is the main program, the interpreter will assign '__name__ = "__main__" '. Thereafter, any code in the aforementioned 'if' statement is run. If you have, instead, imported a module, the interpreter assigns '__name__ ...

Fizzbuzz

I was today years old when I found out what fizzbuzz was. Yes, I'm late to the party. I was in an interview where the interviewer mentioned that ordinarily they would ask interviewees in for a round of fizzbuzz challenges, as I know. Actually sir, no, I don't know 👀 But he sounded so certain that I must surely know what it is that I was afraid to say anything so I did what I always do when I panic. Look right back saying not a word. I googled this mysterious fizzbuzz problem:  It looks pretty easy. I don't think he meant this actual problem, but problems like this. Because this problem is way too easy to be an actual problem someone asks in an interview. I decided to work on it for fun:  Yup. Super easy. I wish this is all I were asked in an interview 😄
