Notes Related to Computer Science
On representing strings.
Computer Science MATHEMATICS:
S = set of strings of the form bxbybzbsbt where b is the symbol b, x is an element of the set {a,e,i,o,u), y is an element of the set {a,e,i,o,u), z is an element of the set {a,e,i,o,u), s is an element of the set {a,e,i,o,u), and t is an element of the set {a,e,i,o,u) = {bababababa, bababababe, ..., babebibobu, ... , bububububu}
UNIX
Because ? is a wildcard notation for a single valid character, assuming that a,e,i,o,u are the only valid characters:
S =b?b?b?b?b?= {bababababa, bababababe, ..., babebibobu, ... , bububububu}
T = b??b??b??b??b??={baabaabaabaabaa, ..., beebeebeebeebee, ... baebeibeebiebie, ...buubuubuubuubuu}
Because * is a wildcard notation for a sequence zero or more valid characters , assuming that a,e,i,o,u are the only valid character:
b* ={b, ba, baa, baaa, baaaa, ...., bieieie, buuuuuuuuuu}

Technical Terms in Computer Science
Review Notes:
1. Bash does not suggest negativity if you are from the Computer Science community. Bash is a keyword in the field of Operating Systems. It comes from "Bourne Again SHell".
2. MAN is also a keyword in Operating Systems. You will never get lost with a MAN because MAN means MANual.
3. In the filed of Operating Systems, The pound is more powerful than the dollar. The dollar sign $ is for any ordinary user. The pound sign # is for the administrator.
4. who u make sense when u is preceded by -. (Hence, who -u)
But wait! Little Knowledge is Dangerous. We need to know more.

Sinoy din-ngem si gait mo? (Remembering ironic statements that were addressed to me)
For some reason, in my dreams last night, I was reminded about what some people told me along the way....
1. "You are too good to be true!" ??? --> Reason why I was not considered :)
2. "You are very talented!" ??? --> A colleague and a classmate, who usually refers to my academic notes, because I usually get the best score in the exams, told me so, when I said I cannot do anything artistic because I have no talent at all.
3. "If only you grew taller, you are perfect!" --> When I was rushing to go to work when I was then a young professional, an on-looker stopped me just to say such as I was passing by.

Financial-related burdens nowadays.
1. You have to pay your annual dues for a credit card issued to you. The sad part is, you never used the credit card because you are supposedly a wise spender( Do not spend today what you will earn tomorrow). You cannot abandon the credit card because you are anticipating that an important future transaction will need the card.
2. Because you are required to use the electronic payment platforms, you need to buy money so you can make a payment to another party.
