Keeping up with the class

Artificial Intelligence and Chat bots really interest me. I had already watched a few of the movies from the compilation of Artificial Intelligence that we had watched in the class. Some other series that wasn’t in the compilation was Black Mirror and Westworld are mostly about future of AI and MI. These few movies and shows construct fantasies of the possibilities with AI. It’s is very exciting to design and build products for this kind of future.

While working on the programming part for our project- Mirror Mirror, I wasn’t able to gather up all my learnings from the previous classes to create the code for our chat bot. I did understand all the programming that was taught in the classes but it was all in bit and pieces. I was struggling to keep with the pace of our classes as I was completely new to programming and coding. However I could help in my group by structuring the code and debugging a few errors. Through the meta-class, I was able to revise and get my doubts cleared. The problems and learning exercises helped me in understanding the logic behind codes.

This entire weekend I have been revising and practicing coding right from the basics from codeacademy and a few other books that were suggested in the class. I looked up about the dictionary and learnt new functions and how to apply them logically. I must keep practicing it as I keep learning more. I am excited for creating more codes that would help in our group work for the next assignment.

Here’s a screenshot of the code that I made for a number guessing game:
