Sigmoid Function

Hello all,
Sigmoid Function or Logistic Function , it is used in Machine Learning problems for the purpose of learning (Neural network ) on curves.
its range between ]0,1[ it is horizontal asymptotic on 0 and 1, because of its range between 0 and 1 it is used in classification using threshold for example if we take 0.5 as a threshold  values greater than 0.5 are considered Ones and  values less than or Equal  0.5 considered 0.

it has the following formula :


  and it shape as following :
from wikipedia 
so it accept differentiation over its domain unlike Step Function.

differentiation of sigmoid function : 

I finished the article , i hope you understand it .
Thanks for your time and effort if you like it share and follow me :)

Designing Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)

Al Salmo Aliko . Hello, in this post I'll discuss with you how to design good Entity Relationship Diagram ERD . this article for: IT Students learning about database. you are having difficulties in creating ERD. you are developer that need help in database design.   let's ask ourselves Why good database design is good ? or why we need ERD?         when I started programming Eng / Eman Ahmed was my First teacher, she said you must write your code with pen, and now I told you good database design start with paper and pen or in technological terms start with ERD, ERD is the model which shows logical layout of your database. let's List some advantages of good database design : very low or no redundant data is stored.  supporting planed or unplanned queries. good design easy to maintain and modify. from first glance you can understand it. an ERD consist from Entities and relationships between them; there exist...

LeetCode Problem #11 Container With Most Water

LeetCode Problem #11 Container With Most Water Given  n  non-negative integers  a 1 ,  a 2 , ...,  a n  , where each represents a point at coordinate ( i ,  a i ).  n  vertical lines are drawn such that the two endpoints of line  i  is at ( i ,  a i ) and ( i , 0). Find two lines, which together with x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most water. Note:  You may not slant the container and  n  is at least 2. The above vertical lines are represented by array [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]. In this case, the max area of water (blue section) the container can contain is 49. Problem Link Solution Number One O(n^2) Brute Force : Try all valid combinations  outer loop start from i = 0 to length of array inner loop start from j = i+1 to length of array  compare current area with new area and choose max. return max area. Solution Number Two O(n) : Linear Solution greedy algorithm: calc...
