Welcome! This is a sample post to help you get started with your new blog. You can edit or delete this post and start writing your own content.
Posts are written in Markdown, a simple formatting language that’s easy to learn. This post demonstrates various features you can use in your articles.
Markdown Formatting
Headings
You can create headings using the # symbol:
# Heading 1
## Heading 2

Text Formatting
Make text bold with **bold** or italic with *italic*. You can also combine them: bold and italic.
Create links with [text](url).
Lists
Unordered lists:
- Item one
- Item two

Code Blocks
Inline code uses backticks: const example = true;
Code blocks use triple backticks:
function greet(name) {
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
}
greet('World');
def fibonacci(n):
if n <= 1:
return n
return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)
print(fibonacci(10))
