Ever wonder what similarity a pair of words have with each other? Quantifiably? As in percentage? As in 50% match or 100% match, etc.? (Whoa, wouldn’t that be great if that worked out in dating world, eh?). Anyway, it’s okay if you haven’t wondered about it, because I did and here I share a few […]

Ouput:Â This is what a quick game play session looks like in this app. Design: First, I need […]

A snapshot of my program running (electric bill hiking) 🙂 How many times will it run (Notice I put in the number of shuffles in each line)? The answer is, we have 26 letters […]
A Guessing Game in Python…
Let’s play a simple number guessing game! Then, let me show you how to program the game in Python. Nothing fancy…but core logic here. Gameplay: Here’s a sample output of the screen. Computer (AI) guesses a number (1-20 inclusive) and you guess the number via tries. Computer tells you each time if you’re “hot” or […]
