I am Thankful

I have always been a serious procastinator and think I am not even capable of doing things/ideas that come to my mind. I have always been in pursuit of becoming a great programmer, web developer, javascript ninja, codechef'er, topcoder'er and all the top level adjectives you can think of in programming world. But recently, I discovered the most precious gift of all that GOD has bestowed me with and that is sound body and health.

Project Euler #315

Problem: Digital Root Clocks

Solution: [Spoiler Ahead]

       One of the easy problems and one of the easy solutions.
       It's just straight forward,

the number of LED on-off by SAM's clock - the number of LED on-off by MAX's clock

       Globals I used, a noOfLEDsForDigit[] array holding the number of led's required to glow a particular digit.
A digits[] array holding hex values for the number that represent the ON-OFF LED. e.g.

8 on 8

                    So finally, everything is completed and and perfect 8 on 8. I am now a Bachelor of Technology, what I would be liked to be called. After entering the CoEP and seeing all the brilliant students around I had thought that probably getting out of CoEP is more difficult than getting in.

           First Year: began with all the intros given to seniors(which I owe a  lot as it made me think that I didn't had anything special in me, I need to make myself into some or the other thing). The lectures went repeating some physics and chemistry part.Technically was introduced to the C-Programming which I even didn't know that this is going to be with my entire life henceforth. Even by the end of the first year, I didn't get to know the concept of a programming language, but I sored quite well in it(thanks to my friends, and this is the part where your friends help you a lot :P). As usual not to mention, when it comes to engineering Mathematics never leaves your collar bone. Bunked some lectures for the Regatta.

Aarz hai

Taaro ko ginne wale hum na the,
akele gungunane wale hum na the,
Ye to dosti aadat laga di,
varna kisi ko itna yaad karne wale hum na the.

Still trying to code ....

Introduced to programming language C and C++ in first year of my 4 year Engineering Course. Till the end of the year, I hardly understood the power of programming. But eventually the time spent dwindling with online tutorials in the summer break was a real break for me !!!

Spending next 6 months on data-structure, I got to know how to use the correct tool for the given problem, but many a times my decisions didn't gave any result. Codechef, Topcoders, Codeforces as proved a motivational platform to develop my skills.

Experience Bolta hai...

Last semester of engineering really taught me much more than I could perceive.My technical knowledge got boosted but on the other hand I got to know that we have to live a professional life in this professional world.

Bitter truth is something that one has to face at some point of time in your life.Once you start working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest.
