Day 8 — Sets, Binary Systems, and a Bit of Spy x Family

🎯 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.
