πŸŽ“ CSE @ VIT Bhopal | Romantic at heart, dev at war πŸ’» Learning C++, Web Dev & AI β€” one bug at a time ✍️ Writing the raw truth of a Tier-3 coder building toward Stanford & self-made success πŸ’– 16 novels in 2 months. πŸ’€ 0 cardio sessions by choice. Soft energy. Hard code. Sharp mind.


πŸ’» Day 9 β€” Crossing Into New Territory

Today felt like a shift β€” not just syntax or tags, but actual concepts that matter long-term.
Pointers. Classes. HTML structure. It’s finally starting to come together.


βœ… What I Did

πŸ’» C++ – Intro to Pointers

  • Understood the basics:

    • What pointers are

    • & (address-of) and * (dereferencing)

    • How memory is referenced through pointers

  • Wrote a few small programs to play with memory addresses and values

🐍 Python – Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

  • Learned about:

    • Classes and objects

    • __init__ constructor

    • self keyword

    • Creating methods and instantiating objects

  • It still feels a bit abstract, but I’ll get there

🌐 Web Dev – id vs class

  • Finally understood the difference:

    • id is unique β†’ used once per page

    • class is reusable β†’ can be applied to multiple elements

  • Practiced styling with both in HTML + CSS

🧠 Reflections

I didn’t rush today. Took my time. Focused on understanding, not just completing.

Learning how memory works and how to structure real-world code (OOP) is something I used to find scary. Now it just feels like part of the process.


That’s Day 9.
Bit deeper, bit clearer. Logged and done.
