This repository serves as a compilation of the solutions I've submitted for Harvard's CS50 series of courses. Of the courses, I've attempted CS50x and CS50 Python.
CS50x is Harvard's original course and teaches basic programming fundamentals using C.
I recall very vividly the time when I watched the first lecture of this course, at a time when I had been learning Javascript for a month or 2. I came away all smiles and so excited to learn more about programming. David Malan explained the simple fundamentals of bits and bytes so clearly that I could understand it immediately. What once seemed arcane and beyond the realm of my perception was suddenly so simple and relatable. I remember still, how happy I felt; oh jubilee!
I watched the first 3 weeks worth of lectures, and resumed my studies in Javascript. I was happy, but I wanted to focus and not be derailed. 2 months later, I would join 42's Piscine, where I would once again be reacquainted with the C language.
Post Piscine, I came back to CS50x again. Continuing on with the fourth lecture in the series, I was once again mindblown. I was once again taken on a journey where curtains were drawn back and understanding was unveiled. Going through the Piscine at 42, I learnt of memory and it's allocation. I learnt of files and manipulation of it's contents. It took 2 weeks, and at the end of it, I was still not completely sure I understood it's concepts.
Watching Week4 of CS50x, in 2 hours, gave me a more thorough understanding of these concepts than the Piscine could. I feel the same sense of happiness and excitement once again. This experience has taught me just how important the ability to teach and explain something is; and such a rare skillset it is.
