Day 69: Still Deriving the Sum of Integers…

I was reading through the explanation for the “Sum of Integers” formula. It was actually really easy and I do remember learning this before. However, the final equation or explanation threw me off. I need to spend a bit more time writing things out and perhaps use a second variable i to represent the incrementing change. Maybe I missed something. Either way, I will give it one more day and a few YouTube videos to figure it out.

TLDR;

Okay, so here are the highlights of what I did:

  • Still reading through the book “Cracking the Coding Interview” by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. I am still working through the examples on a nested for loop. It’s going sort of well but I am still not quite there yet.
  • Started going through the first module on the Microsoft learning platform. I do not have an opinion yet. I will update the blog once I have done some significant work on it.

Conclusion

That’s all for today. If you are interested in the MIT course you can check out the video lecture I’m currently going through. The lecture is helpful but isn’t sufficient by itself. Anyways, until next time PEACE!
