Is there a particular reason you're trying to learn programming, or are you just broadening your horizons?

I'm trying to write a stock market algorithm for /biz/

wow you realIy are stupid lol

Somebody needs to code an ai base that we can customize into our waifus.

How long have you even been trying to learn it? A day? A week? Obv you're not gonna do well in a small time frame, it takes years dude

lmao im in a class called "computational economics" right now where that's something we briefly cover

it's a graduate level class and it requires a background in linear algebra, linear optimization, micro-economics, and statistics along with a working knowledge of game theory, nonlinear optimization, and artificial intelligence

how about starting with something more manageable and working your way up to something like that? especially since that application domain requires a lot of knowledge outside of coding

There goes that dream.

Back to anime and video games again I go

like what?

here I'll give a list of a few different easy projects you can do. Obviously if you use a framework to help you with it, it will be much faster to write

>write a program that takes an arithmetical mathematical expression as input and evaluates it
so for example
>input: (9(3 + 4) - 3)/6
>output: 10
for bonus points implement some form of rounding
should teach you a decent bit about string operations, types, some data structures (e.g. using a stack to keep track of parens)

>write a program that takes a text file as input and splits it into X similarly sized separate text files
so if my text file is "look at me I'm retarded hurr durr" and X is 2, you can have one output file with "look at me I'm" and the other "retarded hurr durr"

Those two are just to get you used to I/O, parsing, os calls, etc.

If you want to learn some of the more mathematical concepts, I suggest doing problems on websites like hackerrank and leetcode. The easy problems are not math heavy and are very suitable for beginners, but you can work your way up if you wish

Fittingly, while linear algebra, statistics, and game theory are favorite pastimes of computer science, they won't tell you much about any real complex system. As a jaded computer science PhD, your post basically reads, "I'm in a graduate-level class where we whisper incantations to unseen powers and squeak rubber duckies, and we've briefly covered the problem you're interested in."

>>34230349
The feels are real. I'm a moron at math. Sucks man.

>>34230771
I don't really know enough about our specific topics yet to tell you actually how we are going to apply game theory, but you have to be shitting me to suggest that LA and stat won't tell you much about any real complex system. The two are basically the foundations of optimization machine learning which, contrary to your hypothesis, really *can* be quite useful.

>>34230262
"stock market algorithm" is really general, could be dead simple or ridiculously complex. Linear prediction/optimization is really entry level, and most of these algorithms don't even work anyway unless you have a super fast connection with the banks and huge market manipulating spending power.

Python is a meme, it's just an easy programming language and does not make the domain you code in any easier. If you are a moron Python can't help with that.

I'm smart in other things desu
just too intelligent to code

i ended up failing a python course because i was literally too shy and autistic to ask for help

i knew this because everyone else around me was also clueless

i just wrote a poker engine that is like 290 lines of code in python kek. it's still not even complete because there's so many conditions it has to check for instance if both players make a two pair, and both have the same high pair (say both have a pair of Ks then one palyers other pair is 4 and hte other guys pair is 6) it has to eval who won.

['8h', '6d']
6
['4h', 'Kd']
13
['4h', 'Kd']
['2h', '3c', '6s', 'Kc', '3d']

for instance thats the output of ten players in the hand these two had the highest ranking hand which was two pair. and the 4K won because his high pair was bigger then the toher players.

ill finish it by tonight minus graphics and actual betting stuff.

Is there something wrong with you if you can't do code academy?

What are you having trouble with OP? Be specific.

im planning on learning programming soon starting with python, are you faggots memeing or is it actually hard.

>>34228304
The only reason I wanted to learn coding was to make a h-game for patreonbux. I'm just using twine now instead

>>34230817
Graduated with honors in math.

That was so long ago, how the time flies when you do absolutely nothing for years.

Like stare at ceiling, sleep, repeat nothing.
