In this post, I present the concepts of stack and queue which are fundamental in computer science. Furthermore, I demonstrate them with an interactive application below to clearly and visually present what goes on as new elements are added or removed from each and their differences in behavior. The implementation of a stack and queue […]

Pangram Verifier (Python)
Objective Write a script that takes a user-input and checks if it’s a pangram. A pangram is a sentence/phrase/string that contains all letters of the alphabet (in this case, English) at least once. However, technically, a pangram doesn’t necessarily have to be a grammatically correct sentence. The goal of a pangram is to include every […]
Creating a Pangram Phrase with Python
Introduction A pangram is a sentence that contains every letter of the alphabet at least once. The most famous example in English is “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” Pangrams are not only fun to create but also useful in various applications, such as testing fonts and keyboards. Technically, a pangram doesn’t […]
Classifying Emails as Spam or Ham Using Naive Bayes
In this blog post, we’ll explore how to use the Naive Bayes algorithm to classify emails as either spam or ham (non-spam). We’ll walk through a Python implementation using the MultinomialNB classifier from the scikit-learn library. This method is particularly effective for text classification problems. Step-by-Step Implementation Importing Libraries: We start by importing the necessary libraries: Loading the Dataset: […]
Identifying double-bookings, scheduling conflicts
You’ve created a week’s schedule for your restaurant staff by day and shift (AM or PM). Next, you want a way fool-proof method to check if anyone is double-booked on any given day, and if so, who. Surely you can manually double-check and triple-check to make sure the schedule is exactly as planned but there […]
Venn Diagrams (Python)

For example, they can show how different groups overlap and share common elements, and which don’t.Comparing and Contrasting: They are great for comparing and contrasting different items, ideas, or groups. […]
Penalty Shootout Data and Presentation
One of the most thrilling games in the Euro 2024 was one of the quarterfinals between France and Portugal that was tied at 0-0 after the regular + extra time resulting in a penalty shootout. France won 5-3 in pks. I wanted to create a couple of dynamic charts based on some basic data from […]
Generating quick fractals in Turtle
In this post, I share a quick way to generate impressive fractal images using Python and Turtle library. Both real-time demo and code provided. I’m using all official Seahawks NFL team colors in drawing three distinct circles, each in a loop with a certain radius. The radius of each circle is pseudo-randomly chosen from a […]
Numbers to spoken words
How do you say this number: 8129311136456.25? Not easy even in your native language, and far less so in a foreign one. But don’t worry, in this blog I share the solution. The number, no matter how gnarly, you enter will be converted to a spoken word…even in foreign languages. Okay, before I reveal the […]
A scalable, fun Fill-in-the-blank game in Python
In this post, I share the code and design of my quick but scalable script for writing a fill-in-the-blank application written in Python. You can play a smaller version of the game right here on this page (below). At the end of the post, you’ll find a link to a more refined, UI-polished, online version […]
