Hi @Arikeee ,

This sounds interesting. Will you be willing to include diagrams to show comparisons and code snippets to demonstrate some comparisons as well?

Please let me know. Thank you!

Hi @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku,

Yes, I will be willing to add diagrams to show comparisons. Thank you

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

Hi @Arikeee,

That's great. Adding code snippets, such as execution time and others for comparisons, would be a significant improvement. Is that something you're open to as well?

[Arikeee]

Hello @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku,

Yes, I am open to adding code snippets

[Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku]

Hi @Arikeee ,

Thank you. Please proceed.

Hi @Arikeee ,

Thanks for your contribution to the Write for the Community program. I will add this to the review backlog. Later, i will let you know when I need anything else. Thanks

Hi @Arikeee ,

I see no diagrams in your work. I realized your code snippets are not displayed properly. Have you tried HackMD instead of Dropbox paper. I think it may be more convenient for you.

I would suggest you write a test so that the audience will have a practical knowledge of their comparisons. Depending on the effort and quality of your content, we might have to make this intermediate.

Pleasre let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hello @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku

The images and code snippets weren't displaying properly because it was on Dropbox paper. Here is the link to view it via HackMD:
