Why You Should Turn Your Life into a Series of Lists

How to Make a Useful List

Think of it like a hierarchy. A leader-board from 1 to 10 and onward, in which your most valued and crucial tasks are ranked by their significance.

Think short-term and long-term. Make a list for each, in order of importance. Jot down the things that you want to accomplish over the next year, the next five years, the next several lifetimes. Think big, but think specific. Obtaining your dream job is one thing — but bagging yourself the position of Chief Editor at the New Yorker, now that is much more tangible, more substantial, something you can envision and imagine yourself working towards. Then note down all the little things too, things you can do each and every day to enhance your journey towards that big goal.

Things like:

Write ten article headlines.

Read through last winter’s NY edition.

Email their current editor.

Then think easier:

Write for a solid hour.

Go for walk.

Remind myself that I am capable.

Buy a new pencil case.

Breathe.

“While goals are the result, the tasks that go into channelling the effort towards the goal have a higher probability of getting done when they find their way on a to-do list.” — Elementum Money.

Think genre. List your groceries in one notebook. List Christmas presents on the back of a McDonald’s receipt. List your morning tasks on the palm of your hand and your evening endeavours on a chalk board. Grouping things together makes them easier to understand. As Ian McKenzie reminds us, “a load of time is lost in the starting, stopping and changing of different levels or types of activity. Save time by performing like tasks together.”

List down everything you need to do to get you to where you want to be, whether that’s right this instant or when you’re seventy four. Think practicality but above all else, think whatmakesyouhappy-ality. Sure, we all have household chores to get done. Sure, we have emails to send and appointments to attend. We all have Adult Responsibilities™ that seemingly occupy most of our lives. But actually: they don’t. Not if we manage them well. Not if we list down everything we need and want to do into digestible, manageable tasks.

Break them down into chunks. Turn these sizeable activities into short, quick, easy to complete tasks. Segment, clean the whole house into a more detailed, doable list:

Make the bed

Vacuum the stairs

Sob into the bed-sheets as that fourth corner pops back off the mattress again

As Louise Chunn points out; ““write my novel” is a pretty foreboding task; “outline first chapter of my novel” is far friendlier and stands a chance of getting done.” And honestly, it works. I literally schedule in my showers.

But remember: the most important thing that should reside at the very top of any of your lists is: be happy. Are the bullet-points below contributing to that?

The Best Long Songs of 2020
By: Michael David Murphy
Tags: 2020, Best Of, Jazz, Lists, Music

(In a year that never ends, here’s a quick look at the greatest long-playing musical efforts released during The Year of Our Dreadfulness.)

In our era of decreasing focus & attention, where the prominence of playlists, singles and algorithmic shuffling have defeated the sustained artistic arc of The Album, long songs offer a halfway house between the sugary blink of Spotified-pop, and the shabbiness of sofa-sitting for a sustained LP listen on some oldster’s dusty turntable.

Long songs naturally skew to jazz releases and experimental wonkery; male artists more than female; and egoists who want the world to admire their wingspan. This year, looking at long(er) songs of six minutes or more might be a way of reckoning with the year that will never end (until it does).

Here’s to pretending I listen to more (new) music than I do, by highlighting a few songs that bent my ears, while surprising me into thankfulness and optimism for what’s to come.

2020 Year-End Lists

Image by Wilhelm Gunkel on Unsplash

2020 is a year we will never forget. It is the year of COVID-19, fake news, remote working, nationwide lockdowns, and much more.

It is a year like no other, and yet, it is a year like any other: even in these unprecedented times, people haven’t stopped doing what they were doing before - they just do things differently.

So, as 2020 is ending, I rounded up a few interesting best-of lists from around the web. Let’s have a look at how the pandemic has affected our tastes and interests, other than our lives.
10 Ted Talks You Need To Watch

10 Ted Talks You Need To Watch

Photo by Melyna Valle on Unsplash

1. How do you define yourself, is a must-watch for everyone who thinks he’s not good enough. People who judge you on the basis of your looks are the worst kind. Because you’re more than your skin and fat and more about your soul and thoughts.

2. Procrastination is killing our productivity. We all procrastinate once in a while, this Ted Talk by Tim Urban shows us why. It’s amazing to see Urban explaining such a complex subject like procrastination in such a humorous way.

3. I challenge you not to cry while watching this one. It’s probably the most emotional and well-performed Ted Talk by Shane Koyczan on getting bullied. Make sure you don’t miss the beautiful video in the background.

4. Body language defines your personality, explains Amy Cuddy. It’s you speaking without uttering a word. Master your body language in just 18 minutes and enjoy the result for the rest of your life.

5. I don’t have a car. I don’t have a job or a girlfriend. Well, this guy doesn’t have arms neither he is blessed with feet like all of us. Still, he is hopeful about the future and is grateful for his life. A must watch talk by Nick Vujicic.

6. What do you do when your nightmares become reality. You either lose the battle or you stand up and make every minute of your remaining life count. A brilliant Ted talk by cancer survivor and former Bollywood actor Manisha Koirala.

7. This Ted Talk by hyperactive Billionaire PA can give you shivers. All he is trying to convey is to speak about your dreams. Be sure about what you want and don’t be afraid to share it with the world. I hope I can have the same energy every time I talk about my dreams as he does.

8. All of us crave for love. Our idealistic life consists of one person we’re happily in love and married to. But the only person we need to marry and love is already with us. Then why do we waste so much time and lose hope on the subject of love and marriage? Tracy McMillan explains beautifully in this Ted Talk.

9. Our behaviour defines our lives. You may not agree. But this Ted talk explains how our behaviour alters the result and quality of life. Your behaviour alters your success in various ways, explains Louise Evans with a great example.

10. This is my favourite Ted Talk. And guess what is it about. It’s about NOTHING. Will Stephen tries to show how to sound smart even when you have absolutely nothing to talk about. A perfect example of fake it till you make it.

A Bibliography for the Muslim Mind
By: Mustafa P.
Tags: Bibliography, Modernity, Readinglist, Lists, Islam

Preliminary Musings

I have yet to find a proper bibliography that can equip believing Muslims to address the current issues of our time. Unfortunately, the best minds of the Ummah are too often caught up in the translations of medieval treatises without providing contemporary commentaries addressing the problems that are relevant to the lived realities of modernity. It seems that the Ummah’s intelligentsia is more interested in creating intellectual cliques of Ghazalian aesthetics than to address the ethical questions in the public square. This vacuum in the public square is filled by Muslims that have been formed by secular ideologies and often lacking an understanding of First Principles.

I have discussed this issue extensively with my spiritual mentor, Shaykh Hamdi Ben Aissa. When Shaykh Hamdi was sharing his vision for the Rhoda Institute, he mentioned the importance of educating Muslims that are deeply grounded in their faith. He says that one of the major issues of our time are Muslims who find themselves one way at home, one way at the mosque, and another way in the workplace. This creates a sort of identity schizophrenia. If Muslims don’t find themselves grounded and rooted, then it is no surprise that their faith will be in jeopardy at the brink of any crisis.

Over the years, I’ve collected a number of works that I believe are essential reading for Muslims. I have found insights in each book listed below that were taught by Shaykh Hamdi over the last decade. The reader will note that very few are actually written by Muslim authors. From transgenderism and the sanctity of human life, secularism and modernity, to scientism and evolutionary biology, I have yet to see many Muslim intellectuals addressing in writing the important ethical questions of our time. Perhaps it is time that the next generation of Muslim intellectuals begin to put to paper what they are learning from their teachers.

These questions haven’t come out of nowhere. Spontaneous innovation has rarely appeared in the history of intellectual thought. Rather, ideas are built upon other ideas. As people who are looking for answers, we need to look at the edifice upon which we stand. Where do our ideas come from? Why do we value certain things over others? How do we come to know that something is true? I believe that if Muslim intellectuals familiarize themselves with the works below, they will begin to articulate the problems that plague our context. Articulating problems is the first step to finding solutions.

And with God, we find success.
100 favourite films — pt. 1. It’s easy to get bored during lockdown…
By: Krister Bladh
Tags: Top 100 Films, Cinema, Lists

It’s easy to get bored during lockdown. Watching movies helps. Thinking about all the great examples of cinema you’ve seen throughout the years is almost staggering — making you wish you’d written it all down. When I was a child I used to collect the tickets to films I’d been to with my family. The poetry of the ink and one’s memory, fading away in tandem was poignant. I used to write little quotes from each film on the back, so I could remember which film the ticket was for even after it had faded into oblivion.

This year I started making a list of my 100 favourite films, in the hope that it would reinvigorate my memory and perhaps bring back memories of some fond moments. Instead, I found the main problem was not recalling the feeling or the plot, but often the title of the film itself. Which can be a problem when you are making a list of titles. Anyway, the first part including my top 25 shouldn’t be that hard to settle on. Here goes (all the lovely stills are from mubi.com and I do not claim to have the copyright to any of these images, if anyone requires an image removed just leave a comment).

How to remove items or duplicates from a list in Python.
By: Martin Andersson Aaberge
Tags: Technology, Python, Software Development, Lists, Data Science

How to remove items or duplicates from a list in Python. Don't run around in loops to edit lists if there are built-in functions to help you out.

Remove duplicates from a list

Remove elements from a list

Clear a list

Our list:

my_list = [1,1,1,1,2,3,4]

Remove duplicates from a list

Sets quickly kill duplicates. Remember to convert it back to a list.

my_list = list(set(my_list))

Remove elements from a list

remove() or pop() will remove elements from a list. pop() returns the value you remove.

my_list.remove(1) #note that this will only remove the first instance of 1.

use_number_later = my_list.pop() #default removes last item in list. Add index to pop another. (my_list.pop(0))

Clear a list

This is easy as lists in Python come with a method called clear() .

This list is constantly changing and growing but if I had to pick my go-to wholesalers — these would be it.

Eight Reasons Why I Don’t Read Articles Like This One
By: Charlene Roweling
Tags: Productivity, Writing, Reading, Lists

It is a trend that has outlived its efficacy. I could post my grocery list and get more hits on it than an article that isn’t formatted as a list. Our society focuses on productivity over scholarship. It is a mindset that has recently come back to bite us. The “list” articles regurgitate the same information as other “list” articles. These types of articles regurgitate information that somebody took the time to write a detailed article about. I’m sure the story behind the list is far more interesting than the list itself. These articles feel slapped together, like signing a multitude of Christmas cards to distribute to co-workers you don’t like. It could be that I’m weird, but I don’t like the thought of paying to read a list when I can pay an equal amount to read the same information written by a creator who took the time to write a detailed article. For crying out loud, it’s a friggin’ list! Instead of demonstrating how productive you are to the world, focus on your grocery and to-do lists; your significant other/child/pet/refrigerator/pet rock/car will appreciate it more than we ever will.

Many popular magazines use list articles to catch a consumer’s eye in a grocery store’s checkout lane. It’s a schtick, it’s been their schtick since I was a pre-teen drooling over Boyz 2 Men, Color Me Badd, and New Kids On The Block.

Successful people admit to using lists, but it’s unlikely that you will see CEOs or former presidents publishing list articles on their blogs. They might share a list on social media, but few of the obscenely successful actually write list articles.

Even poor bumpkins like me use lists. I have many uses for lists, for instance:

To remind me of tasks that need to be done.

Groceries I need to buy.

When I’m making a tough decision, I’ll often create a “pros and cons” list.

Creating an outline for an article, or research paper.

Instances in which points need to be concise, like a presentation.

When the main point in a piece needs several subpoints.

Lists are useful and have their place. I do think that a line needs to be drawn when 80-percent of the articles I see on Medium’s homepage are lists.

“Will the COVID-19 Vaccine…”

Will the COVID-19 vaccine give me COVID-19?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine turn me into a liberal?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine make me an SJW, RBG, or AOC?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine take away my guns?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine abort any or all of my children?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine make me get socialized medicine? Food stamps? Library books?

If I get the COVID-19 vaccine, do I still have to pay taxes? Do I have to pay more taxes?

Is the COVID-19 vaccine gluten-free? Is it Paleo?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine make me vegetarian, vegan, or a communist?

Can I get the COVID-19 vaccine if I don’t live in an elite East Coast state or a sanctuary city?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine automatically renew my subscription to The New Yorker?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine give me autism? AIDS? The gay?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine make me prefer craft beer? Appreciate jazz? Tolerate Dave Matthews?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine make me say things like, “Black lives matter,” “Defund the police,” or “The arc of the moral Universe is long, but it bends towards justice”?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine disqualify me from being nominated for a seat on the Supreme Court?

Will the COVID-19 vaccine make me want to take Christ out of Christmas?

Will I be able to get the COVID-19 vaccine if I didn’t get the COVID-1 through 18 vaccines?

Essentials books for software developers
By: Leanderson André
Tags: Books, Software Development, Programming, Lists, Books Recommendation

Photo by Ed Robertson on Unsplash

A professional software developer must know the fundamentals of the art and science of computer programming very well. One of the ways to get to know and deepen the fundamentals is through the classic books of the area. These books do not focus on specific details of a technology, these books present concepts that can be applied in all technologies. For this reason, these books have become timeless.

The books I selected present in an organized way the experience acquired by the authors during decades of work and research in software development. Learning from professional references in the field is a wise choice. Books with the 📌 symbol are highly recommended.

Let’s go to the list!

📌 The Clean Encoder — Robert C. Martin

📌 Clean Code — Rober C. Martin

📌 The Pragmatic Programmer — Andrew Hunt

Clean Architecture — Robert C. Martin

Domain Driven Design — Eric Evans

Refactoring — Martin Fowler

The Mythical Man-Month — Frederick P.

There is no correct order to read. My suggested reading order for books on writing quality codes is:

Clean Code -> Refactoring -> Domain Driven Design.

Do you have recommendations from other books that are not on the list? Send me in the comments!

Thank you very much for your reading and see you in the next post!
Nine Painful Truths for Internet Writers
Tags: Writing Tips, Internet, Web Writing, Lists, Writing

1. The number of hits, likes, comments, and other responses to your work will be either surprisingly low or surprisingly high. (But expect them to be low.)

2. One preposterous or even stupid headline will attract more eyeballs than a hundred carefully researched and credibly reasoned assessments.

3. If you get comments, avoid them. They’ll drive you to thoughts of suicide. Or homicide.

4. Don’t be surprised to learn that the people you love haven’t read what you’ve written.

5. Don’t be surprised that they don’t even know what you’ve written.

6. There are no new ideas. There are even fewer new jokes.

7. People prefer familiar stuff with a whiff of novelty over something entirely new.

8. If you want attention, one of your keywords should be “naked Jesus sex.” Or something like it. But you won’t like that kind of attention.

9. Numbered lists are a cheap gimmick to get clicks. But they seem to work, don’t they?

Tags: Self Learning, Python, Datacamp, List

My motto: You only can learn how to programming while by doing.

Create a new list in python:Withouting taking effect from the list that copied, you can use list() function

Let’s take a look original we would do like below:

# Create list areas

areas = [11.25, 18.0, 20.0, 10.75, 9.50]

# Create areas_copy

areas_copy = list(areas) #Here is key point. Have to add list () function

#what if you want the copy list related to original list?

areas_copy = areas # without list () function

# Change areas_copy

areas_copy[0] = 5.0

# Print areas

print(areas)

#result [11.25, 18.0, 20.0, 10.75, 9.5] → areas list do not taken effect by coping.

3 — Bloodthirst

This one is probably to be expected as berserkers already look like they are getting more support. Blood thirst as a mechanic seems very linear. An opponent loses life, your creatures get bigger after that. However I think that it creates interesting combat math where both the attacker and blocker need to consider how much they are willing to risk taking damage to make their opponents creatures bigger. This would also synergize well with the recent +1/+1 counter support printed in Zendikar Rising.

2— Completing land Cycles

The Battle for Zenidkar battle lands, Triomes from Ikoria, Odessy Filter lands any of these would be welcome additions to complete land cycles that players of EDH, Canadian Highlander and standard would love to have access to. Moreover it alleviates a problem that the pioneer format has. Only certain color pairs have access to fast lands or battle lands. Reprinting them would help bring some parity to the land bases available for pioneer.

Ranking Paul Thomas Anderson’s Films 1–8 (LINK)

Tags: Movies, Filmmaking, Review, Film, Lists

Between directing music videos for the all sibling music group Haim (my favorite band), writer/director/auteur Paul Thomas Anderson occasionally directs movies. He’s made 7 films since 1996 and I know I’m not the only one who wishes he’d make more.

I can never watch a PTA movie once as it takes me at least two times to take it all in. Even if you don’t like his movies, you’d be hard pressed to say they’re cookie cutter or anything resembling something you see every other week. Even if you’re not a fan, PTA’s films stay with you. They are rarely met with indifference.

They’re also rarely set in the present day, as PTA seems obsessed with the 70s for a good portion of his filmography. To date, only three of the movies on this list are set in what you’d call the present day.

Love them. Hate them (Clerks writer/director Kevin Smith is decidedly not a fan). You can’t forget them

PTA’s newest untitled movie (starring Bradley Cooper) is set to come out in 2021. Until it’s released here are his previous 8 movies ranked.

Be sure to vote below for your favorite PTA film.

2020’s Honorable Mentions
By: Ben Ryland
Tags: Music, Lists

For the albums that *just* missed my yearly list.

Every year when I write my top albums list, there are a few records about which I end up having very little I want to say. Normally I’ll either drop them from the list entirely, or eke out some mediocre blurbs and try not to think about it. Neither solution is optimal. So I figured that this year, I should dedicate a segment to those albums which I enjoyed greatly, but wouldn’t feel quite at home on the list proper. Here they are.

Jeff Rosenstock defended his title as pop-punk’s eminent torchbearer with No Dream, another excellent chapter of candy-coated disgruntlement. On a more hardcore stage at the same festival, bagdadski vor came through with a blistering EP entitled Колхида (Kolhida). This one rips.

The New Abnormal is the first time a Strokes album actually made me feel something, probably due to the colorful Rick Rubin production. Also filed under ‘albums my friends liked more than me,’ The Weeknd’s glossy 80s drug binge After Hours was arguably the apex of pop music this year. That Grammy snub is seriously mind-boggling.

There are usually a number of very cool, but sort of innocuous electronic albums every year that I want to quickly recommend. 2020 was no different. For future bass, there was Medasin with RIPPLS, his strongest showing to date. Skee Mask further carved out his aquatic dancefloor niche with two great EPs, ISS05 & ISS06. And for, uh… “electroacoustic,” Nicolas Jaar had another jog through the corner of experimental music he all but owns on Cenizas.

2020 was a strong year for rap: even the honorable mentions are stellar. Though Anime, Trauma, & Divorce isn’t Open Mike Eagle’s best work, it maintains his heartfelt touch and storytelling. Freddie Gibbs’ collaboration with The Alchemist, Alfredo, was about as technically dazzling as you’d expect from that billing. Billy Woods and Elucid put together a fantastic showcase for one of contemporary hip-hop’s most vital scenes with Shrines, the latest in Armand Hammer’s consistent streak.

As usual, there were a couple projects on the outer fringes of genre that I really dug, but couldn’t begin to describe what exactly was great about them. Memnon Sa’s World Serpent is definitely the most badass album about the Egyptian god Aphopis that I heard this year, and Horse Lords made thousands of nerds, including me, Google “totalism” with the polyrhythmic jams of The Common Task.

Lomelda put together a deeply charming blend of indie folk songwriting and house-show slowcore with Hannah, one of the prettiest albums here. Andy Shauf delivered another detailed singer-songwriter concept album with The Neon Skyline, the best poignant rom-com movie of the year that was actually a musical album. After releasing one of my favorite albums ever, King Krule delivered a satisfying iteration on his acid-soaked, tortured indie rock with Man Alive!

That’s all! Listen to some albums, and I’ll see you in a couple weeks for the big kahuna.

Getting things done might be difficult might be hard for some of us(including me). I always forget things I should have done, however big or small they might seem. Some people are blessed with good memory and some people just forget things to be done and there’s no way around it (sigh).

Have you ever felt that if you would have done a task, your life would be much easier at this point ?

I can feel your frustration and I can surely empathize with you :).

The ritual I do in order not forget my daily tasks is to keep a notepad. Yes, a notepad. Write everything you want to get done in a particular day according to the priority.

The most important part of this ritual is to keep on doing it for everyday.

One huge benefit of this is that you can track down your process, not only on a day to day basis but also in months and years too.

No, notepads on Phones and Tablets don’t work the same way. They are another source of procrastination, for me at least.

Practical List Building Tips

Your Fortune & Future Are in the Follow Up With Your List Community

Created by Laura West for Author

If you have been involved in Internet Marketing for more than 20 minutes you have heard that “the money is in the list” right?

You know what the problem is though? Most people, once they have a list, go to one of 2 extremes. Either they never follow up or they follow up by pounding their list with offer after offer to buy something.

I don’t recommend either of those approaches.

Your fortune and your future

I’ve got a slightly different quote about list building that I teach to my students and members.

Here it is:

Your fortune and future are in the follow up

But exactly how do you do the follow up? I’m really glad you asked, because today I want to offer you two key strategies for following up with your list. Do these, and you will have a very responsive list when it comes time to offer them further resources.

Answer their questions

Every one on the internet, whether green beginner or seasoned veteran, has questions. When you take the time to answer the questions of your list community, you are demonstrating that you care enough to take the time and you are demonstrating that you are an expert that can answer their questions and be helpful.

You will also greatly increase the “know, like, trust, and desire” factor with the members of your list community.

Ask them questions

Very few online marketers do this, so just with this one action you can set yourself apart from most of the pack. Ask them what their biggest questions are, what are their biggest challenges, where are they stuck, what would they most like to know.

This is truly serving your list. Otherwise you are just another arrogant marketer who thinks they know what you want and are gonna shove it down your throat.

Side note: When you ask these questions and provide the resources they ask for, you have a really good chance to make a profit while helping your list community.

And here are some more list building tips:

Instead of Watching NBC’s “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”, I Thought Of 50 Other Actors Better Suited To Play The Grinch

I truly cannot wrap my head around this casting choice.

Who thinks, “Yes. The Grinch. An iconic Christmas character with a distinct personality and hatred of the Yuletide season” and then casts Mr. Schuester from Glee? Anyways, here are literally fifty other actors who are better fits for this part.
Why You Need a List?
Tags: Xmind, Time Management, Schedule, Lists, Stress Management

Many people overestimate the power of a simple list, but it really helps with relieving your stress, managing your time, and coping with packed schedules in life. In today’s article, we are going to share with you about how a list works magically as the best productivity tool.

Types of Lists

Making a list is effortless. You simply write down the things you’d like to complete/achieve, but this small action can bring big changes and results to your life. Different types of lists serve for different purposes, and let’s see some common list types.

People have limited time and brain energy to process many things we need to do in daily lives. Writing down today’s tasks onto a to-do list (in priority) in early morning costs less than two minutes but helps manage your time efficiently in a day. With this list in hand, you can complete and check things in order without being anxious about what to do next and what’s left unfinished.

One-time life needs a bucket list — a list of the best things to do before you die! What kind of person do you want to become? What life do you want to live? What would you like to achieve? Think about your life’s bucket list and never regret not doing something.

You need a happy list whenever feel anxious and depressed. A list of things that make you happy may lift you from a depressing swamp and encourage you to continue strongly living your life.

As mentioned before in the previous How to Spend Money Wisely blog, we introduced the wish list — a list of items wanted before actual purchasing. It will help to hold off your impulsive spending desires and cut down many unnecessary spending.

A checklist is the key to preparation. Whatever you’re preparing for, packing travel items or an online interview, a checklist is great for checking every detail and making sure you’re fully prepared. You will also feel the joy whenever finishing and checking an item/list off your list!

Tips for List-Making

SMART Principle

SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This principle is one of the most used tools to help people plan and achieve goals, and it serves as a guide to list-making as well, especially for lists with specified goals such as to-do lists and checklists.

PDCA Cycle

The Plan-do-check-act cycle (PDCA) is another great management and planning tool for delivering changes. There is no end to this cycle, so PDCA needs to be repeated again and again for continuous improvement, which is key for us to constantly grow and achieve higher goals through lists.

Thank you for reading, and we hope that you become familiar with varied types of lists and master the power of simple lists through this article to better manage time and brings productivity to your life. Make lists with XMind, starting today! Take care, and until next time…

Lists in Java
By: Sakshi Sharma
Tags: Beginning, Java, Collection, Progress, Lists

10/12/2020

I learnt Lists in Java today. The best part is that after I left my college campus in 2019, it was today that I got a chance to catch up with my roommates. These are the same roommates who’d study for hours while I procrastinated as I admired them from a distance. I scheduled a meeting for us and instead of catching up on all the latest news of who’s getting married and who’s pursuing post-graduation, we decided to start solving Competitive Programming problems together, something we should have done during college, but it’s never too late.

So today, as we worked our way through a problem on HackerRank, we learnt the concept of Lists and some functions that revolve around it. Read to learn with us!

For someone who has only explored Arrays, my first question was, what is the difference between an Array and a List. In Arrays, the memory allocation is fixed. But as it turns out, it is not fixed for Lists. Lists are flexible.

To declare a List, we write:

List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();

Here List is the type, <Integer> specifies the nature of elements we will insert in our “list” and ArrayList is a class that implements the interface List which extends the Collection interface. I am sorry if that sounds a bit confusing, but give me a chance to explain. Collection in Java is an interface. Now, we cannot create an object of an interface. So we create an object of ArrayList which implements it. Makes sense?

To add value to a List, we use the function add(). The syntax for that would be:

list.add(5);

Interesting thing is that in the declaration, if you do not specify <Integer>, you can add elements of different types to a List because by default the type is Object. But that would be more of a Collection than List. Let me specify the syntax for better understanding:

Collection list = new ArrayList();

Remember, List extends Collection. So List has some extra features and hence is more customized.

A list doesn’t work on indexing like Arrays do. So, to traverse through a List and to pick the element at a specific position, we use the function get(). As the name suggests, get() “gets” the element in the list. Take a look at the following code:

int element = list.get(i);

Here, i could be a specific integer or an integer traversing through a for loop that runs from 0 to list.size(). Again, as the name suggests, size() gives the size of the List.

For now, I will leave it here and continue as I learn further about it. I promise to bring in examples as well. The point I want to make is that if you look at how much there is to do, you will only end up overwhelming yourself. Do not focus on the entire Collection at once, move from one Generic to another. You know what I mean?

There was this girl…
Tags: Single Moms, Abortion, Young Mothers

There was this girl who wanted to be loved, seen, and heard… She thought she had it all. Till one day her whole life changed. She was bold and ready to take on the world. Life felt like it was on pause… She got pregnant by mistake, she was so scared of the future and what it could hold. She didn’t know what to do. She played it off and months went along.. Her partner at the time kept begging her to give the baby up. “it’s not that I don't want a baby, it's that I don't want a baby with you” is the statement that plays in her head every day. Her partner wasn’t a partner at all. Not one single doctor visit did they go with the girl. The entire pregnancy was stressful. This girl wanted to give up.. “why me?” she kept asking herself… She never really got an answer. However, she was going to make sure that this baby that she was going to push out was going to have the best life she could provide. She needed to do this for this baby. 22 years old and lonely with a baby is the scariest thing. Her partner wasn't her partner anymore and felt resentment for him leaving her. the next few short stories will encourage those who are going through the same experience as this girl to stay strong and better days ahead.
