My Data Science Journey

Currently I'm an intern at Equest technical services. Studying Data Science: using Python as the programming language.
Started three weeks ago and it has been intriguing to say the least.
Getting started with python in Data Science, (lIke every other language) there were concepts that includes:
Variables
Data types
Data Structures
Control structures and conditional statement etc
Started off with the basics: Data Structure and algoritms.
Data structure comprises of the List [], tuple (), dictionary () and string. Then moved on to algorithms.
Before solving a problem, there should be concrete steps that should lead us to our answer. These steps should be well thought through, so as to leave no room for leakages in the code. These steps called Algoritms keeps a check mark on necessary things to be done in problem solving.

With this knowledge I've been able to write a code on various problems:

  1. A code to check if a word is a palindrome or not (without using the pre-defined fucntions)
  2. Code to compare if two words are anagrams (without using pre-defined functions)
  3. An insertion sort code that arranges numbers on a list.
  4. A pascal triangle, factorial and combination code
  5. A code to find the longest prefix.
  6. and many more...

Hopefully before my next post I should've improved.
