Best of luck with your coding assignments, Hussain — they’re stretching your brain in new directions, which is surely a good thing, even if sometimes frustrating and painful. Your poetic imagery of forests and trees shows me that you’re bringing your whole self to this new challenge — which means that you’re sure to succeed in the long run. Kia kaha!
Thank you for sharing so widely and deeply about the challenges of your journey through university. Some thoughts --
Using your imagery, it sounds like you encountered an unexpected cluster of coding trees while walking through the forest. I appreciate your careful thinking and rich insights about this experience. I'm wondering, though, how that palindrome assignment turned out? We haven't heard the outcome!
"Dozens of questions were popping up from every line of the coding instruction, I did not know any answer to." Wondering also if you wrote down these questions as they emerged? Sometimes that can be a useful technique for mapping the landscape of a problem.
Even if it doesn't feel comfortable every day, I sense your kindness to yourself and determination and thoughtfulness as you continue your studies. Sending you continued wishes for happiness and success!
Good question Daniel, I should have ended the post with it. I did manage to write the palindrome code. It just requires different mode of thinking. The problem lied exactly where you pointed in those questions. I needed to unpack them one at the time.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and engaging comment.
Ah, logic, when the end must be the beginning. And what comes before the last must equal that which comes after after the first, if the individual in the middle can see both ways.
Fantastic insights. Good on you for using what you have learnt so far to work out a new approach to this new subject. Good luck with it. And don’t forget that asking for help is always a good strategy.👌
Great photo of the gardens. Beautiful! Please keep posting your photography 😊Barbara

Thanks Helen, I am used to finding joy or meaning in challenges. This is another one them.

You already are the man in the mirror, Hussain.
Thanks Craig, that line exactly describe the coding instruction, really liked it.
