” YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE GREAT TO START, BUT YOU HAVE TO START TO BE GREAT.”
– Zig Ziglar

How did i complete this?

Being a freshmen , it was difficult at the beginning. You’ve got to compete with the rest belonging to a Computer Science background, good at programming and adapting to new topics quickly. But as the say goes on..

“NOTHING WILL WORK UNLESS YOU DO.”
– Maya Angelou

Overview

Task 0: Install Ubuntu 18.04

Following are the steps:

Downlaod the ISO file from the Ubuntu Website

Create a Bootable Disk
- Once the ISO file is downloaded then next step is to burn the downloaded ISO image into the USB/DVD or flash drive to boot the computer from that drive.

Boot from USB/DVD or Flash Drive
- Click “Install Ubuntu” to continue with the installation process.

Choose your Keyboard layout
Select the appropriate Installation Type
Create a Partition
Select Your Time Zone
Start Installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Restart Your System
- Remove the USB/DVD from the drive and Click “Restart Now” to restart your system.

Task 1: Star all the amFOSS repositories

Instructions were quite clear so i followed this repo : https://github.com/amfoss/star-me

In the end you receive the above the screenshot,with a message “It’s Done”.

Task 2: Programming

Following are a few snippets of my answers for the HackerRank Problems:

Comparing The Triplets

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
 
    int a[3],b[3],aScore = 0,bScore = 0;
 
    cin >> a[0] >> a[1] >> a[2];
    cin >> b[0] >> b[1] >> b[2];
 
    for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    {
        if(a[i] > b[i])
        aScore++;
        else if(a[i] < b[i])
        bScore++;
    }
    cout << aScore << " " << bScore << endl;
    return 0;
}

Staircase Problem

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

int i,n,j,z;
cin>>n;

for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
{
    for(z=1;z<=n-i;z++)
    {
    cout<<" ";
    }

    for(j=1;j<=i;j++){
    cout<<"#";
    }
    cout<<" "<<endl;
}
return 0;
}

Birthday Cake-Candles

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){
int i;
int n;
int max=0;
cin>>n;

int a[n];
int count=0;

for(i=1;i<=n;i++){
cin>>a[i];

if(max<a[i])
max=a[i];
}
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
if(a[i]==max)
count++;

cout<<count;
return 0;
}

Time Conversion

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int h,m,s;
    char cr,ch;
    cin>>h>>cr>>m>>cr>>s>>ch;
    if(h==12 && ch=='A')
    {
        cout<<"00"<<":"<<m<<":"<<s;
        return 0;
    }
    if(ch=='P')
        h=h+12;
    if(h<10)
        cout<<"0"<<h<<":";
    else
        cout<<h<<":";
    if(m<10)
        cout<<"0"<<m<<":";
    else
        cout<<m<<":";
    if(s<10)
        cout<<"0"<<s;
    else
        cout<<s;
    return 0;
}

Diagonal Difference

int main() 
{
int N,lsum=0,rsum=0;

cin>>N;
int a[N][N];

for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
{   
 for(int j=0;j<N;j++)
 {
 cin>>a[i][j];
 if(i==j)
 {
 lsum+=a[i][j];
 }
 }
 } 
 for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
 {
 for(int j=N-1-i;j>=0;)
 {
 rsum+=a[i][j];
 break;
 }
 } 
 cout<<abs(lsum-rsum)<<endl;
return 0;
}

Task 8: Captcha Breaking

Optical character recognition or optical character reader (OCR) is the mechanical or electrical conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene-photo or from subtitle text superimposed on an image.Here’s how i managed to solve:

Took a screenshot of the expression typed out in MS Word using the Snip tool. Converted the screenshot into PNG format.
Installed pytesseract for python,which reads text from images i.e OCR .Python Imaging Library (PIL) needs to be installed.
Install Google Tesseract OCR .
Followed the instructions given here: https://github.com/madmaze/pytesseract

Task 9:Setting Up a Simple Personal Website

I made my personal website by forking Jekyll Now, which is an open source website generator, developed by Barry Clark.However I have not edited or written anything.

Here’s my forked Github repository: https://github.com/tbagz104/akshayhari.github.io

Task 10: CS50

This one is a must watch for a beginner.You get to know what Computer Science is all about and how the computer interprets information given by the user.Video lectures are available for most of the computer languages.This is very informative.

Official Site: CS50
Youtube: CS50tv

Task 14: Bandit

If you want to learn Linux from absolute scratch,i recommend this game.It’s really helpful if you want to learn bash and terminal commands.I’ve completed upto level 10.
