So, you’re starting out programming, and you’re wondering what the ++ people put next to their variables mean. Does it add extra charge to your variable, like a battery? Does it give said variable a more positive outlook? Perhaps it’s like getting an A++ on a test, showing the variable is doing a really good job?
In this article, we’ll talk about what ++ really means when coding, how you can use it, and even dive into alternatives to this operator you might want to use when it comes to concurrency.

Transfer learning is one of the most powerful techniques in deep learning, especially when working with Large Language Models (LLMs). These models, such as Flan-T5, are pre-trained on vast amounts of data, allowing them to generalize across many language tasks. Instead of training a model from scratch, we can fine-tune these pre-trained models for specific tasks, like question-answering.
In this guide, we will walk you through how to perform transfer learning on Flan-T5-large using TensorFlow and Hugging Face. We’ll fine-tune this model on the SQuAD (Stanford Question Answering Dataset), a popular dataset used to train models for answering questions based on a given context.
