Mathematics

Question

all the quizzes are collection of mathematics, it sucks

Answer 1

Like what has been posted above:
While maths is key to programming, I don't think a course in maths is essential.

Answer 2

*Proceeds to math in elegance*

... What.

Answer 3

@Herbert

Hey, you ain't half bad at maths after all. :>

Answer 4

Honestly, at times I wish there were more questions pertaining to classes, objects, programming logic, etc that weren't like the aforementioned math problems. However the math questions have helped me with intricacies utilizing for loops, modulus, and proper operator precedence. We don't need to throw away the math questions, just add more knowledge based ones and structural based questions. The biggest downside to the quizzes is the often repeated questions that more seasoned challengers already know the answers to.

Answer 5

LOL @Derek. You're having serious Nikhil traumas.

Answer 6

So you thought that programming doesn't require mathematics ?

Answer 7

int silliness = 7;
int are_you_serious = 6;

int herberts_question = silliness * are_you_serious;

herberts_question /= 0;

Answer 8

Some of the math within loops is a bit too much for me to process at times. Keep trying Herbert. Take screenshots of the problems you have difficulty with and take time solving them. Try to learn how they are properly solved so you can continue to apply them and fortify your skills. Don't let the math bring you down, rise above it to the second power.

Herbert = Math.pow(mathematics, 2);

Answer 9

Whatever you do Herbert, do not challenge Nikhil Dhama!

Answer 10

infinity @Derek

Answer 11

😢 stills worries

Answer 12

thanks@Derek

Answer 13

Lol @hatsy! While he solves challenges in his sleep, I lay awake in bed fearing that a challenge from him will pop up in my notifications. At dinner one night, I decided to check Sololearn and see what was going on. I was drinking a Dr. Pepper and in mid-sip I saw he challenged me. My soda sprayed from my mouth and I fell out of my chair...again.

Answer 14

Thinking is hard, that's why I never do it. 😎

Answer 15

yes I thought it would be about structure of code , classes and objects arrays but no it tried to me to solve that shit maths questions where I suck at

Answer 16

no, i hate it

Answer 17

should i learn math before learning programming?? seriously

Answer 18

As someone who has a degree in mathematics, I'd argue it's not even that. Mathematicians try to avoid calculating, they try to make calculations simple, because calculating is error prone. Mathematics is rule based problem solving. These challenges are not. They are just bad.

This is especially weird because the quizzes in the lections are often better. What would be a good challenge then:

Take a this List: (Anna, Bob, Charlie,... Quite a few more...) Turn this into a Dictionary with the first value having the key a, the second having b etc.

And then look at the code the other person came up with, so you can actually learn something.

Answer 19

its fun
