New Position at AoPS

by levans, Jan 29, 2025, 4:48 AM

I am moving to the Research & Development team within AoPS, an exciting new step in my career! I will no longer have admin access to the AoPS.com website as my new team is not part of product, operations, support, or engineering on aops.com. I felt like mentioning this as I still get a number of admin related requests to my private messages. As I will no longer have access to admin features, all requests should go to the Site Support forum or via the Contact Us page. I am looking forward to the new challenges that await and am glad to continue to be part of AoPS and building the tools we wish we had when we were kids. Thanks everyone!

Are blogs still used?

Hi!!!

Do people still use blogs?!?!

I never know what to put in these things.

That's why it's boring.

My First Python Program

by levans, Jan 16, 2022, 9:50 PM

We have something of an oddity at AoPS. Our programming classes are in Python but we don't actually use Python. Instead we primarily use PHP and Node.JS for our back end programming. Because of this, I'm pretty proficient at those languages, but not many others. I used to be really good at Java and C/C++, but it's been so long that I've used them that it would take me a bit to get back up to speed on them, C/C++ especially. That being said, I wrote my first Python program on Friday! (Edit: Wow, I need to do some CSS adjustment! to make this look better.)

from collections import defaultdict
 
# Function to return a default
# values for keys that are not present
def def_value():
    return "Default"
 
# Defining the dict
d = defaultdict(def_value)
d["a"] = 1
d["b"] = 2
 
print(d["a"])
print(d["b"])
print(d["c"])

from collections import defaultdict

# Function to return a default
# values for keys that are not present
def def_value():
    return "Default"

# Defining the dict
d = defaultdict(def_value)
d["a"] = 1
d["b"] = 2

print(d["a"])
print(d["b"])
print(d["c"])

I want to thank OliverA for making me this awesome avatar. I'm posting it here so I have it readily available next year. I'm going to post my regular one as well just in case I lose it.
