🎯 Day 8 — Learning Structures and Watching Spy x Family

Today was a mixed bag — I learned some important concepts, but I also let myself relax a bit. And honestly? I needed it.


✅ What I Did

🐍 Python – Data Structures

  • Learned about the core 4:

    • List: ordered, mutable

    • Tuple: ordered, immutable

    • Set: unordered, unique elements

    • Dictionary: key-value pairs

  • Practiced basic operations on each — still trying to get the hang of when to use what

💻 C++ – Binary & Decimal Conversion Logic

  • Explored how to convert binary to decimal and vice versa

  • Understood the binary system logic using loops and division

  • Started working on simple base conversion programs

🌐 Web Development – HTML Elements

  • Learned about inline vs block elements

    • Examples of block: <div>, <p>, <h1> to <h6>

    • Examples of inline: <span>, <a>, <img>

  • Tried styling a few elements to see how layout is affected


🧠 Reflections

Not the most intense day, but a good one.
Learning about how data is structured and how layout works visually — it feels like putting together pieces of a bigger system.

🎬 Life Update: Binge-Watched Spy x Family 😅

No regrets.
Needed to unwind, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

📌 Tomorrow’s Plan

  • Start functions and lambda in Python

  • Try if-else based projects in C++

  • Practice a mini form layout + inline CSS styling in Web Dev

  • Continue showing up, even on messy days


That’s Day 8.
Learning, laughing, and a little bit of anime.
Logged and done.
