Alright, let’s talk about this little project I messed around with. The idea was simple: whip up something that would spit out a random female celebrity name. No biggie, just a fun little thing to kill some time.
So, I started thinking, how do I even get a list of female celebrities? I mean, there are tons of them, right? I dabbled around, trying to find some ready-made lists online. I did find some quizzes like “Which female celebrity are you?”. Some questions were like “What is your ethnic background?” or “Are you a tomboy?” But that wasn’t what I was after. I just wanted the names, nothing more. I grabbed some names from a quiz site, but it wasn’t a lot, and it was mostly singers.
Then I thought, maybe I could just make my own list. That seemed easy enough. I started jotting down names as they popped into my head, but that got old pretty quick. It was a slow and kinda boring way to do it, and I’m pretty sure I missed a whole bunch of people.
After that, I decided to get a bit more organized. I broke it down by category – actresses, singers, athletes, you name it. That helped a bit, but it still felt kinda random and incomplete. I mean, who am I to decide who’s a celebrity and who’s not? It’s all subjective, right?
So I ended up with this messy list of names. It wasn’t perfect, but it was something. Then came the coding part. I’m not gonna bore you with the details, but basically, I just threw the names into an array and used a random number generator to pick one out.
- First, I gathered my celebrity names.
- Second, I put them into the code.
- Third, I wrote the code to pick a random name from the list.
It worked! It wasn’t anything fancy, but it did what I wanted it to do. It was a good way to learn a few things and see how even a simple idea can have its own little challenges. It’s not like I’m gonna use this for anything serious, but hey, it was a fun little experiment.
Lessons Learned
This little project taught me a few things. Gathering data, even for something as silly as this, can be a bigger pain than you’d think. And even simple projects can have their own little quirks. Most importantly, I realized that sometimes the fun is in the process, not just the end result. You learn by doing, right? Even if it’s just messing around with random celebrity names.
