i remember when we were in typography II and also editorial design I we got shown the fucking text hierarchy image

and I'm seeing more and more people not grasping this concept when editing so i thought that if for some reason you haven't seen this image i probably shouldn't gatekeep it. Text hierarchy is literally essential knowledge to make yourself understood. Try to have an order in your text, investigate, test things, show your edits to people and ask "hey what order are you reading this on?" because the golden rule is that your design should be easy to interpret most of the time.

Help code error in C

I am trying to practise loops and recieving user input in C. I have created this code:

int main(void)

{

    string answer = get_string("What word do you want to say? ");

    {

        char c = get_char("The word is '%s', are you sure? (Y/N) \n", answer);

        if (c == 'y' || c == 'Y')

        {

            printf("okay\n");

        }

        int n = get_int("How many times do you want to repeat it? ");

        {

            int i = 0;

            while (i < n)

            {

                printf("answer\n");

                i==;

            }

        }

    }

}

But it says, pointing to the semicolon:

test2.c:20:17: error: expected expression i==;

Does anyone know what I have missed?

Despite my numerous years in coding, I still make mistakes, I shouldn't, but I do. That is the human condition, to make mistakes.

What matters is how we grow from them. What we learn from our mistakes makes us a better individual.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes....unless you're a brain surgeon or something.

New Friend - Scratch Game

For the course, I created a platform game. The jumping is glitchy but I really struggled getting it to jump in the first place, so I'm really proud that I got this far.

I may eventually update the game so that the jump works properly, and add some more levels. But for now I am continuing with the course. If anyone has any tips to improve the coding then please let me know :)

Thoughts so far of CS50x

I watched the lecture through and started to practise what I remembered in the codespace. I realised how little I remembered so I am now going through the lecture bit by bit. I watch a bit whilst writing notes, practise what he showed us, and then give myself some small projects to do that utilises what I am learning in a different way.

I am almost an hour of watchtime for the lecture this time around and this process is really helping me to get used to C and how it is structured. I am able to fix silly mistakes in my code and am getting faster.

For my latest project I created a MadLibs where the user inputs verbs and adjectives which is used to create a story. I sould love to share it and get some feedback but I am unsure how to do that from the workspace.

Overall, there are some parts of coding that comes naturally to me, and others that I struggle to process and understand. I have spent so much time getting stuck on problems in my code but the rush that comes when I solve it is amazing!

Finally, I know I am only a beginner so of course there is a lot that I don't know, but I really struggle with imposter syndrome and I feel liks it is only going to increase as I go further on my journey. To be honest, that is partly why I started this blog - to put myself out there and tell myself that I deserve a place in this community; and so that I can find others to support each other.

See you soon, Genny :)

it takes years to develop your craft. do not romanticize the idea of an ‘overnight success’. be a student. grow organically. get really good. hate your work. start over. find new ways to express the same ideas. the student becomes the master. your time will come.

Penguin game

I thought I would share a penguin game I created as I was practising in Week 0 of the CS50 course.

It is very simple, click on the fish to catch them. The counter increases each time.

Hello, world!

Hi

I'm Genny (pronounced like Jenny). I am very early in my journey of learning code. I started CS50x and am currently working through the week 1 lecture and practising to code alongside.

About me: I have a Graphic Design degree, I currently work in education, with SEND students, I am a bit of a nerd, I used to be in a lot of fandoms, when I was a teenager, back in the good ol' Tumblr days, I have a cat

I am sure I will write more in due time...
