🛌 Day 20 — Pain, Strings, and Fonts

Okay yeah, badminton after forever = pain 😅
My body’s been sore all day — legs, arms, back — name it.
So I didn’t do much, but I did something. Because… streak.


✅ What I Did

💻 C++ – Character Arrays & Strings

  • Learned how to:

    • Declare and manipulate character arrays (char name[20])

    • Use C-style strings and string functions like strlen(), strcpy(), strcmp()

  • Still have a bit left to cover (like edge cases, memory stuff)

🌐 Web Development – More on Fonts

  • Dug deeper into CSS font styling:

    • font-style, font-weight, letter-spacing, line-height

    • How these affect readability and layout flow

  • Just tested stuff in a small HTML doc — no big build

🐍 Python – Skipped Today

  • No energy left for Python today — not even revision

  • Not guilty though, just respecting my recovery


🔗 GitHub Pushes

  • cpp-practice/day20-char-strings.cpp

  • web-dev-start/day20-font-styles.html


🧠 Reflections

My brain wanted to code. My body said “nah.”
But the streak? Still breathing.

This wasn’t a learning-heavy day, but it was a streak-respecting day.
Sometimes, that’s enough.

That’s Day 20. Sore, slow, but still logged.
