What a Waste:

A mother camel and her baby were lying down, soaking up the sun. The baby camel asked his mom, β€œWhy do we have these big bumps on our back?”

The mom stopped to think and then said, β€œWe live in the desert where there is not much water available. Our humps store water to help us survive on long journeys. β€œ

The baby camel then stopped to think and said, β€œWell, why do we have long legs with rounded feet?”

His mother replied, β€œThey are meant to help us walk through sand.”

The baby asked a third question, β€œWhy are my eyelashes so long?”

The mother replied, β€œYour long eyelashes offer you protection from sand when it blows in the wind.”

Finally, the baby said, β€œIf we have all of these natural abilities given to us to walk through the desert, what’s the use for camels in the Zoo?”

The Moral:

The skills and abilities that you possess won’t be useful if you’re not in the right environment.


You’ve probably heard of a professional who ditched his or her career to follow their dreams–or the person who remains unfulfilled in their job, but doesn’t try to make a change.

If you’re stuck in a career that isn’t the right fit, you have to do some self-reflection to realize where your strengths lie that are going to waste. Turn to people that you know the best as well as professionals in any given market so you can start thinking about what may be better for you. Think big and remain open to new ideas.

Accessing Lists in Python

1. By using indexing

2. Accessing List Using Slicing Operator

Slicing αˆ›αˆˆα‰΅ α‹¨αŠ αŠ•α‹΅αŠ• main list sublist α‹ˆα‹­αˆ α‹¨αˆαˆˆαŒαŠ“α‰Έα‹αŠ• elements αˆˆα‹­α‰°αŠ• α‹¨αˆαŠ“α‹ˆαŒ£α‰ α‰΅ αˆ˜αŠ•αŒˆα‹΅ αŠα‹α’

Syntax :

list_name[start : stop : step]

start : Sliceኑ ዬቡ αŠ₯αŠ•α‹°αˆšαŒ€αˆαˆ­ represent α‹«αˆ¨αŒ‹αˆ, default value 0 αŠα‹α’

stop : represents the end index where slice should end.

▫️allow α‹¨αˆšα‹°αˆ¨αŒ max value = (last index + 1 )
β–«οΈαˆαŠ•αˆ value αŠ«αˆα‰°αˆ°αŒ α‹ የ listαŠ‘αŠ• last element index as default α‹­α‹ˆαˆ΅α‹³αˆα’

step : slice α‰ αˆšα‹°αˆ¨αŒ‰ elements αˆ˜αˆ€αŠ¨αˆ α‹«αˆˆα‹αŠ• index value increment represent α‹«αˆ¨αŒ‹αˆ

αŠ αŠ•α‹΅αŠ• list slice αŠ αˆ­αŒˆαŠ• α‹¨αˆαŠ“αŒˆαŠ˜α‹ αˆŒαˆ‹ list αŠα‹α’
i.e. it returns a list.

Programming Jokes!!!

1 : A guy walks into a bar and asks for 1.014 root beers.
The bartender says, β€œI’ll have to charge you extra, that’s a root beer float”.
So the guy says, β€œIn that case, better make it a double.”

2 : 3 Database SQL walked into a noSQL bar
A little while later....
They walked out
Because they COULDN'T FIND A TABLE


3 : The Programmer wife sent him to a grocer store.
Her instructions were "Buy Butter. See if they have eggs, If they do buy 10"

4 : Q: Why do Java Programmers wear glasses?
A: Because they can't C#

Real Programmers don't comment their codes!!
Because If it was hard to write.....
It must be hard to read....

Algorithm : word used by programmers when they do not want to explain
what they did

Keep Calm and LOVE programming!!!!!
