30-Day Coding Challenge

Days 10 & 11 - Setbacks and More Hacks I’ll Rarely Use

It ends on day 10. My consistency plummeted as I couldn’t write a single line of code or do anything related to programming.

It’s frustrating to see that this is how far I could go.

But is this it?

Setbacks are part of life. So, it’s normal.

I knew what matters is whether I’d go with the flow of doing nothing on day 11. And thankfully, I didn’t.

Because I coded today.

So, my 30-day challenge continues and I plan on hitting the mark. Since I missed a day, I’ll shift my end date forward by a day.

Nothing’s changed.

And today (Day 11), I discovered the use of Semicolons to run different operations in one line of code.

x = 10; y = 20; z = 30
print(x); print(y); print(z)

Why didn’t I come across this before?

That’s because I hadn’t seen any programmer use it.

And I can understand why.

After all, it reduces the readability of your code, especially when used frequently.

And I don’t enjoy going through crowded codes. It’s straight-up annoying.

So, I’d rather use multiple lines for different operations like this:

x = 10
y = 20
z = 30

print(x)
print(y)
print(z)

But who knows, it may come in handy in the future.

Day 12 approaches…
