CS373 Spring 2021 Week 3: Siddhesh Krishnan
What did you do this past week?
This past week I worked more on the Collatz Conjecture project. I was able to setup my GitLab repository as well as pass all of the test cases on HackerRank. In other worlds I was able to catch up on classwork in my other classes.
What’s in your way?
As of now, there is nothing in my way! I have taken Object Oriented Programming last semester so completing the Collatz project has been easy so far. I hope I will not encounter any roadblocks as I attempt to finish the project.
What will you do next week?
Next week, I will complete the Collatz project. All I have left to do is the formatting and consequent steps. I will also continue to learn more about exceptions and passing variables in Python as discussed in class on Friday.
What was your experience of Collatz? (this question will vary, week to week)
Having taken Object Oriented Programming before, I was already familiar with Collatz. However, it was definitely very interesting to go over the various efficiencies in the code as well as the conjecture once again. Moreover it was interesting to see the differences (such as not needing bit-shifting) between the C++ and Python versions of Collatz.
What was your experience of exceptions? (this question will vary, week to week)
I am fairly familiar with exceptions but have not used them before in a pythonic context. Given this, I really enjoyed the points brought up in class of having multiple exception blocks but only having one per method/function.
What made you happy this week?
This week, I was able to catch up on all of my schoolwork! Definitely being all caught up and not having to worry about any pending assignments made me happy this week
What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
My tip-of-the-week this week would be Towards Data Science! Towards Data Science is a website which consists of various Data Science related projects as well as tutorials for beginners! Please check it out!
