1 | # Beginner Projects
2 |
3 | A couple of beginner projects here, listed from easiest to hardest :)
4 |
5 | - `selector.py`: simply a random selector to tell me who to facetime! (deals with imports)
6 | - `login.py`: a fake login that lets you look like you're hacking into some super secret mainframe lol (practice with if statements, imports, print statements)
7 | - `madlibs.py`: madlibs! (practice with inputs, strings)
8 | - `rock_paper_scissors.py`: rock paper scissors (practice with functions and if statements)
9 | - NOTE: `random_madlibs.py` and `sample_madlibs` are madlibs that I created if you just want to play around with them
10 | - `web_app`: build your own web app using flask! (this would be more intermediate, but give it a try if you're feeling ambitious!!)

22 | # If you have a sorted list and you want to search this array for something,
23 | # You could go through each item in the list and ask, is this equal to what we're looking for?
24 | # But we can make this *faster* by leveraging the fact that our array is sorted!
25 | # Binary search ~ O(log(n)), naive search ~ O(n)
26 |
27 | # In these two examples, l is a list in ascending order, and target is something that we're looking for
28 | # Return -1 if not found
29 |
