The Hidden Pitfall of Learning More Than One Programming Language

The Invisible Effect of Your Native Language In my 12 years of software development, I've noticed this: When learning multiple programming languages, your native language shapes your mindset. For example, the first language you learn influences how you use new languages. Often, you unknowingly write code in your native language. This can make it difficult to adapt to new technologies. However, it's possible to overcome this influence! Switching from PHP to Node.js […]

Data Types in Computer Science and Programming

Data is at the core of everything we write code. Whether you're storing user information in a web application, calculating scores in a game, or performing data analysis, the secret to working with data lies in data types. So, what are data types, and why are they so important? In this article, we'll explore data types, the heart of programming. Using examples from my own experience, I'll explore this fundamental concept both in new ways and in new ways.

Greedy Algorithms: Principles and Practical Applications

Greedy algorithms are a fundamental concept in computer science and mathematics and are often used to solve optimization problems by making locally optimal choices at each step. These algorithms are known for their simplicity and efficiency, making them an indispensable tool in various fields, including computer science, economics, and engineering. This article will examine the principles of greedy algorithms, explore their properties, and […]

An In-Depth Look at Neural Networks and Their Applications

In the ever-evolving field of artificial intelligence and machine learning, neural networks have emerged as one of the most powerful and versatile algorithms. Inspired by the human brain, these networks have made significant advances in solving complex tasks, from image recognition and natural language processing to autonomous driving and gaming. In this comprehensive guide, we explore the history, architecture, training methods, and practical […]

Understanding the Role of Leaf Nodes in Decision Trees

In machine learning, decision trees are both simple and powerful algorithms. They're frequently encountered in fields like finance, healthcare, and text analysis. So, what's the most critical part of these trees? Of course, leaf nodes! These structures, which we call "leaf nodes" or "end nodes" in Turkish, are the points that generate the final predictions of decision trees. In this article, we'll explain what leaf nodes are, […]

Understanding the Role of Internal Nodes in Decision Trees

Decision trees are both simple and powerful methods in machine learning. Whether you're looking to diagnose a disease or predict a customer's purchasing behavior, decision trees offer a clear and understandable path. One of the most important parts of these trees is the internal nodes. This term, used in Turkish as "internal node," refers to the way a decision tree processes data […]
