@@vaisakhkm783 I meant c++ specifically because I remember some annoying errors like undefined reference to x class, those were really annoying because they pointed to an external class where things broke in but not the actual code where it broke at. Languages like Python and or Rust specify more where the code broke at and you can trace it pretty easily. For stuff like C++ with class objects that is not the case. Although I admit I may be biased here because it was my first time going into windows.h and it was tedious.
Programming can be incredibly creative and self-expressive. It's just not taught this way in most colleges unfortunately. Like, it's unlocking the full power of a computer so you can make it do literally whatever you want. Also, problem solving requires a lot of creativity and lateral thinking generally.
The sheer possibilites clicked for me when I realized that several languages can talk between each other and call different processes at the same time.
Yes same , i got 5 too and considering to take CS..so is it okay for 5-marks person to take CS? Like can you survive 💀 or is it better for me to take Comp Eng ?
I am so excited, I am a sophomore in high school and feel in love with computer sciences back in 6th, but now I have finally been able to use my logic skills to make many projects and started building my portfolio. It has been a great trip, and I can't wait until I get better
Wish I was like you, should've started exploring this field a while back. It's too late now because I already set myself up for CS, thinking I'll take interest. I hope I do. Sounds like an exciting journey!
@@mbbaam yea and it's never too late, remember school is for learning, if you discover you hate it,you can change degrees, it might be more costly, but what's even more costly is ending up depressed because you didn't change your mind, good luck to you stranger!!
@@HuyNguyen-ll9gz go to community college then transfer to a four year. Unless you have been coding since you were 12 and have amazing projects then employers wont even think about you if you dont have a bachelors degree.
"deciphering old literature" is precisely what reading the docs feels like. And we haven't even started _thinking_ about the arcane wizardry that occurs in research papers, which I shudder to think about (I'm going to be a game engine dev, which may not but possibly will involve lots of research papers in my spare time).
I love solving logical puzzles,but the only thing is people say cs people don't interact with people,which I absolutely wanna do,I'm not an introvert,so I'm thinking a lot wheter should I take it or not
That’s actually not true for example as a programmer you have to interact with lots of people like clients, colleagues/ teammates. And as for other specialties in comp sci u deff have to interact a lot with clients and colleagues.
Can confirm that at least half of your ability to do your job is tied up in the social skills needed to work effectively with your coworkers. I'll take a moderately skilled programmer who's pleasant to work with over a douchebag with consumate technical skills. The first is usually pretty easy to bring up to speed, the second can wreck an entire team.
Could you make one for physics?(specifically astrophysics or quantum mechanics), I've already decided to have my career in physics, just wanted to see how many other people would want to as well 😁
I agree with you too! I've been thinking about majoring in astrophysics, it's exactly what I want to do in the future, but 10+ years on education aren't very seducing, so I'm still not sure if I want to choose this career path
@@notyourstereotypicalnerd2249 I like physics at school, but I'm thinking more about kinda tech engineering... like an electricak engineer, but I don't know if designing electrical boxes would be for me... I know they do a lot of other things too...
When I first took the quiz, I scored 5 and was really estimating changing majors. I just scored 10, and I am at a place where I feel I can enjoy CS without dreading
I know it's fun to see quizzes like these and self-assess, but to anyone who wants to do CS but is worried about the general CS stereotypes that quizzes like this play into: 1. Computer Science can be extremely creative, especially if you want to make money. The higher level stuff will require not only problem solving, but being able to think laterally and handle abstract concepts, often even in very philosophical ways. 2. Anything you do will usually have potential for self-expression, and CS is not the exception. A lot of the vocational side of it is literally creating software, and where you are making things you will be able to self-express; if you're not and that's a problem for you, it's likely the job thats the issue, and not necessarily the degree. 3. You don't have to be obsessed with technology to do CS. CS has as much to do with computers as astronomy has to do with telescopes (Dijkstra quote, if anyone's interested). I've seen an academically estemed PhD fail to set up a zoom call. I'm pretty sure half my lecturers haven't been able to use computers properly since the 80's. 4. Not covered by the video, but saw someone else talking about it: not everyone in CS is an introvert. I promise you, some of the antics us CS lot got up to in first year would make the humanities students faint. Don't let the perceived image of CS students put you off, it's about as universally acurrate as most stereotypes (not very). If you want to know if it's right for you, look at the topics CS tends to cover, do a little research. Talk to people. Be very mindful of the course (two different CS courses can be like two different subjects, it is a very broad field) and just see if your interested. Hope this helps someone, and good luck with whatever you end up doing!
10 out of 10. No surprise, because I’m already studying programming in middle school. I actually had an oral programming exam today (Norwegian middle schools allow students to pick one extra thing that they will study these things range from programming to Sport and activity too mountain climbing to Art and design.)
As someone who personally is considering computer sciences in the field of programming, AND ONLY GETTING AN 8 is just infuriating. Thanks Gohar, I genuinely needed that self reflection, you're the best!
writing this because I missed the scoring part at the end and now I'm waiting for the entire video to play again because RU-vid Shorts is stupid and purposely doesn't have a forward/back seeking feature... anyway, it's about to come up for the third time so gonna press send now.
I don't know, I don't mind sitting all day, I've been doing it since my high school days, but I also really love to solve math or expressions ever since I was a kid. Like, I've been starting calculating math operations in my mind in my elementary days.
If you guys got 6-7, you might also consider something that includes coding but not solely focused on mathematical side of things, like Informational Technologies, or Cyber Security. You can still have fun programming with them, but they will mostly include thinking rather than functioning (like math and stuff) But yeah, if you are good with numbers and puzzles I would forcefully suggest taking CS!
Can you do... Psychology Politics Further maths Maths Business studies Economics (You don't have to, or if you can only do one that's fine but I'm going to college, UK, in a year and a half and this would really help.)
I’m planning to take a computer science IB course in my high school, still considering my second IB course (should it be film, business, or multimedia) I dunno what I want to be in life so I’m just chilling with my favourite teachers 😂
