Cracking The Code : Creating A New Magic

Have you ever wondered how all the apps in your mobile phone are running? Have you ever thought about how mobile games like - chess , ludo etc.  are running and giving us scores? Well , all of this is happening because of coding .

From apps on your smartphone to websites you browse , it's all about programming .In short , Programming is the foundation of the digital world we live in.



  •  Decoding Coding  : Actually , coding is nothing but some written instructions which need to be followed by the computer .We know our computer doesn't understand our languages , it only knows binary digits that are : “1” and “0” .So , it's necessary to create a bridge between human language and machine language and that’s why programming is here. Each language of coding gives us different types of benefits for making this bridge .



  •   Scripting Your Way to Programming  : 


  • Choose a language : Firstly , you have to choose a simple beginner friendly language . In that case , ‘Python’ can be one example . Basically it's easy to learn and that’s why even many non-programmers enjoy it and it is used for data analysis & visualization , developing websites as well as softwares etc. Once you build confidence about coding , you can learn other languages like java for applications & game development , C for software development etc .


  • Practice, Practice & Practice : Only learning a language basics cannot help you to be a decoder . You have to practice a lot of problems to implement your knowledge more efficiently . The more you practice , the more you can grow . Many online websites like codeforces , hackerrank , visual-judge, leetcode etc can help you regarding this .



  • Basic Concepts : 


  • Variable & data type : You have to learn to manipulate data using variables of different types , such as integers, strings and booleans .

  • Conditional Statements  : You have to make a decision when your code will run through conditional statements .

  • Functions : For breaking down your ideas more effectively , making your code efficient  you have to write functions .


      

  •      Diving into Data Structures & Algorithms : 


  • One Level Up :  You have to discover the magic behind all algorithms to solve complex problems more easily . For example , if you are asked to find a sum of ten numbers one can solve this question by writing 10 lines of code of sum . But if you have knowledge about algorithms , you can solve this by using a loop as well as writing only 3 lines of code .This is called effectiveness .




  • Going in depth :

  • You have to uncover secrets of data structures like - linked lists, arrays, binary trees for organizing as well as storing data. This will help you to know the built in functions more internally and clearly .










  •          Projects & Applications  : 


  •  Automate Your ideas  : After all the learning and practices, it's finally time for making some classic projects . You can build simple projects for beginning like - calculator , to-do-list app , making alarm clock , ludo or chess game , music player app etc. for building confidence . Gradually you have to come outside of the box to explore more and turn your own ideas into reality . 

   

  •  Hunting Bugs : Coding regularly shows a lot of errors . You have to patiently solve the wrongs , identify bugs and debug your code .





  •  Community Corner : 


It may seem like coding is an individual pursuit . But joining coding forums , attending workshops and participating in coding competitions can give you a great community . This helps you to learn how others are thinking about the same problem more appropriately . This helps to build critical thinking ability .





You know , being involved in coding might seem hard and  a long way , but you have to keep it in mind that every coder once was a beginner . The main theme is  you have to be patient, practice constantly and challenge yourself to learn and grow . Maybe this portion will help you to be a part of the next tech giant or maybe you will find yourself creating your own softwares or be the next Mark Zuckerberg in future .  




Happy Coding !!

The Intricacies of Cryptography Ciphers

Image
        Have you ever heard of the Enigma Machine, one of the most famous cryptographic devices used by the Germans during World War II? It involves rotors and plugboards to replace characters multiple times, creating highly complex and variable encryption. Breaking the Enigma code was a significant achievement for cryptanalysts, including Alan Turing. If you love thrillers, have ever read any detective book, you must have seen Cipher. A cipher is a method or technique used to convert plain, readable text (known as plaintext) into a coded or unreadable form (known as ciphertext). This process is a fundamental aspect of cryptography. Cryptography has its roots in ancient civilizations. The Caesar cipher is one of the oldest known ciphers, created by Julius Caesar. Ciphers were widely used during World Wars I and II. In modern times, the concept of data encryption and decryption comes from this cryptography concept. Morse Code: Dots and Dashes: Morse code, developed b...
