How to be a smart programmer?

Writing hundreds of lines of code, reviewing other's code, learning new codes, being creative ... so on and so on...

So, how can someone be a smart programmer? How can s/he code faster and effectively?What's really a smart programmer like? I have tried my best to answer these questions in this blog.

  • Be a constant learner:
    One cannot learn everything about programming overnight or in a week or even in a year,  not even in a lifetime. Accept this fact, always be ready to learn new tricks, ideas, packages, shortcuts, etc. Remain updated about changes in the way programming language is used.

  • Learn to strap in and not leave the job until its done:
    It can be a problem to be writing complex, long codes. But that shouldn't discourage you.Keep going until it's done.


  • Having Fun is the Key: Always remember that FUN is a very critical part of doing anything. Find your ways to make programming fun and enjoy every ounce of it.
  • Know what you are programming for: If you are employed, know the business requirements. If not employed, find out what you could do with the programming language, find your interests, explore more and more. Read books related to your interests.
  • Do not Procrastinate: Use two minute rule to rule out your procrastination behaviour if you have any. Two minute rule is, getting into the work at least for two minutes. Most of the time you will end up getting indulged for hours.

Bitwise Operators in Python

The values are first converted into binary form, then operations are done, after that the result is converted back to decimal form and the result is displayed. So, it can be a little tricky to understand these operators, but with practice, anything can be understood. [ In python, if you want to see binary equivalent of an integer (say 45), use command bin(45) . But, if you want to see binary equivalent of 'blogger' use command  map ( bin , bytearray ('blogger' )) ] Bitwise operators in Python are: & (binary and): observe and understand:               a= 00010010               b= 10101010 then, a&b= 00000010    In your IDLE or wherever you type in your python commands try 15&12, 60&12, 13&15. [NOTE THAT: Python displays answers by converting it back to decimal form.] | (binary or): Also known as inclusive or.            a= 0001     ...
