Some funny pickup lines wrote by CS dude (I’m dying)

I found these lines so genius and grew so eager to share this silly happiness with others, only to find I have no proper person to share this with. This is the pathetic moment when I realized how lonely I am. 

Excerpt from Larry Liu, originally posted on subtle asian dating:

“ I wrote some pick-up lines for all my Comp Sci majors out there: • Hey girl, are you a binary search tree? Because I'd like to insert some children inside of you • Hey girl, are you the agile software development paradigm? Because I wanna use you at the same time as six other people until we come to a collective finish • Hey girl, are you a bit-encoded binary signed integer? Because the two of us really complement each other • Hey girl, are we in the same instance of an object-oriented class? Because I'd like to access your privates • Hey girl, are you a mutex for Linux thread synchronization? Because I wanna put my key in your lock • Hey girl, are you a computer virus? Because you can put a Trojan on my hard drive any day • Hey girl, are you a recursive problem that doesn't require memoization? Because I'd like to divide your legs and conquer you • Hey girl, do you have a backdoor vulnerability? Because I'd like to do some penetration testing just to be safe • Hey girl, are you a string class in Java? Because my love for you is immutable • Hey girl, are you a binary search algorithm? Because you found my heart in O(log n) time • Hey girl, are you an undirected adjacency matrix graph? Because I wanna traverse your body in depth • Hey girl, are you a dynamically-sized unordered associative hash table? Because I wanna linearly probe you

What does friend mean to us?

Some people say that friends are antidote of solitude which human beings experience often in a life time. Some say that friends are friends because they share common background, experience, interests and even traumas. However, until some point in my life, I haven`t realized what true friends mean to me. They are just there, smiling, walking, talking and living a life as they have always been. Their existence itself comprises the whole meaning of friendship: love without conditions.

SLOG: Week7(continued)

Another important topic of these weeks is recursion. One thing I realize about recursion is its inefficiency. For the same instance, execution of Fibonacci sequence defined by recursion costs much more time than that of factorial. One more recursion embedded in the function largely decreases the efficiency. So, the conclusion is that recursion is suitable for cases that are naturally recursive.

Again, practice and then practice. I am going to search for more examples of recursion and try to implement them by myself!

SLOG: Week 6 and Week 7

“Practice makes perfect.”

From week 3 to week 7, what impressed me most in this course is assignment 1. In the lectures these weeks, we delved into construction of abstract data type and object-oriented design. We also explored recursion functions. Compared to lectures, the completion of assignment 1 impressed me much more. Just as I mentioned in the last SLOG, one cannot truly learn programming only by listening to lectures and figuring out how the codes posted on the slides work. Practice makes perfect.

In assignment 1, I get the opportunity to practice all the techniques of object-oriented design and apply the knowledge that I learned in the class, which is much more interesting than sitting for three hours on the edge of falling asleep. To accomplish the assignment, my partner and I actually write the codes together, so during writing the codes, we did the proofreading at the same time, which turned out to greatly reduce possibility of error and incompatibility. The traditional way to do a group project is to split the project into small parts and do them independently and then merge different parts into a whole. However, based on my experiences, I would like to recommend this approach.

The assignment is mainly about object oriented design. I feel that one of the reasons that my group can finish the assignment successfully and quickly is that we already have a partially complete start codes, which provide a lot of information and guidance. As a student who skipped CSC108 and does not have any computer programming background, I feel like now I am really into programming and I start to understand the programming as a whole. All I learned in the class, like abstract data type and other methods, are the pieces of the puzzle. Now I am able to put them together to get the whole picture. With practice, I gradually understand the meaning to design so many classes and went wild when I finish debugging the codes. Who does not like it?!

SLOG1: IDEAS ABOUT FIRST THREE WEEKS

As a student who learned CSC108 by oneself, I felt overwhelmed by the first class since I knew little about creating a class. Honestly the Ramp-up session helped me a lot. The session is concise and Professor Brian Law is of particular humor characteristic of people in computer science field.  It is such a joy.

           During these three weeks, I mainly reviewed all the basic concepts in CSC108 and learned how to construct a class by interpreting the specification, creating the API, implementing the methods, and using inheritance and composition. For the technical part of the course, I feel like that I need to change my way to study the course materials because I understood the codes that professor posted on the slides but always encounter many bugs and problems when writing them myself. Attending the lectures is not the whole picture and practice makes perfect. Besides, I found that differences between concepts were emphasized again and again in the lectures, which may be an important part of the test.

           In a word, I enjoy the class up to now because it offers me challenges to overcome and I believe I can make it.
