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 […]

Letters to Patterns (what does your name look like?)
Letters, in whatever language/scripts are really glyphs aren’t they? They’re a visual representation of a letter that’s supposed to sound (or not sound) like something that we repeated until we memorized it since birth. All good 🙂 I was thinking of different ways to represent letters…you know, just for fun! Yes, I’m weird like that. […]
Word-Game: “Words Matter!” (Python)
Welcome back! Today, I share a new game idea (I thought of it myself but if there’s any such game out there, it’s a pure coincidence and I did NOT use those as a foundation). Disclaimer and (c): The idea cannot be recreated in any shape or form for any purpose (other than learning/education) without […]
Fill-up Tanks Quiz (Scratch)

Ouput:Â This is what a quick game play session looks like in this app. Design: First, I need […]
Lissajous curve in Python
Alphabet Soup…For Real!
What if I wrote a program to generate ALL possible combinations of words (EVERY possible) English language? Well, here’s the result. 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 […]

Non-Tech/Behavioral Questions @ Interview
I’ve recently been interviewing for my next role following completion of my contracts in my high-tech industry. This prompted me to reflect, and research on some of the behavioral questions that I faced, I posed (on the other side of the table as an interviewer/hiring manager for many years), and what other sources have exposed. […]
What is the mean age of 11-15?
This is an easy question “What is the mean age of 11-15?” really but it’s worth for people to understand the different concepts and differences between “mean“, “arithmetic mean“, “statistical mean“, “average“, “midrange“, “median“, and “mode“. The arithmetic mean and average are the same thing. So, if you find the average of the numbers 11 to […]
