    You see yourself doing any more C coding in the near future?

    Just signed up for another C programming class that starts this fall. If anyone needs someone to brain storm with I'll be here. Computer science is my minor so I'm in it for the long haul. C++ and java is next.

    Anyone take a class in discrete math? Was it significant to your problem solving skills in programming?

    I took it because at one point I wanted an applied math degree to become an actuary. Its far more difficult than calc not sure how it relates to programming though. I've been doing python for fun lately since I plan on either acquiring or heading a venture to build my own blockchain platform. Are you into blockchain?

    Far harder than Calc?? Did you take the Calc that had trigonometry as a prerequisite or did you take the business Calc? Big difference.

    I'm not into blockchain yet but it seems inevitable that I will have some part in it considering my skill set.

    I like the idea of you building your own blockchain, big ups.

    Yeah I only went as far as calc 1. It was all pretty much like the math in physics 1 to me nothing too crazy.
    Well I have a new found respect for business owners and VCs. Talent in this arena is scarce and ultimately I wanted to do this with as little partners as possible but the costs are a lot more than anticipated and this market requires a lot of speed since software is so fast paced. Ultimately I want to attack to spaces with blockchain and the type of developers I need won't come cheap.

    Hmm. The possibility of us collaborating isn't too far fetched. I don't know any Python yet tho, just C and I'm about to start on Java here in a few weeks, I guess it would depend on your time line.....you never know.

    Your post got me doing a bit of research on the perceived difficulty of discrete math. It's about a 60% to 40% percent split. Slightly more people think Cal 1 was harder. Discrete seems to be more about logic and proofs, that probably threw some for a loop, but I'm good with that.

    The main thing is that no one thought it was comparable to Cal 2, so it's still on the table. It just wouldn't make sense to take something that heavy when it's only for your minor. Lol

    Loving the class so far. I'm actually taking a version of it that's more applicable to programming. It's called discrete structures. I heard that the discrete math class is actually more difficult, but I wouldn't know. So far the one I'm taking is a breeze, it's been 100 percent logic. It's supposed to get more complicated tho.

    You make me want to take the class for fun. Sounds like a good mental workout.

    I wonder how much it overlaps with the class you had already.

    Do you know how to determine if this is a valid argument?

    P
    P--->q
    ~q ^ r
    ---------

    • • r

    Did that on my phone so it doesn't look perfect but it's readable.

    No this looks more like hs logic

    Hs? but you answered no.

    Nah, I'm done with C programming for the foreseeable future.

    Is the code missing something??

    never seen ----> used in programming unless it was a comment such as % --->

    Coding in Matlab would be something like

    clc; clear all;
    P = 10;
    r = 21*pi;
    A = P*r^2
    disp('The value for A is %0.2f', A)

    I have some experience doing For Loops, While Loops, nested loops but I hate doing them.
     
  19. Beasty

    Beasty Well-Known Member

    Nah. It's not programming. It's structured logic applicable to programming.

    Are you initializing variables here?
