Getting the hang of Dr.Racket

     After using Dr.Racket for a couple weeks, I'm confident that I can move into more in-depth programming, which we did cover in class. Just a lecture from today, we learned how to use the built in function "big-bang" to create animation. In the end, we used it to build an animation that is similar to the ticking of a clock.
     However, there is something annoying about my Dr.Racket. It keeps on crashing while I am coding my big-bang function. I am pretty sure my coding is correct but Dr.Racket just won't accept it. It kind of disappointed me a little but I figured I can always save my work before running it.
     So far, in term of quiz, I have been doing pretty good as they are quite straight forward if you do the tutorial exercise ahead of time. As the test is coming up, I am not too worry about the programming part but more so on the history of computing machine. There aren't many notes in detail explaining different machines in different eras. I just hope that Prof.Heap will post the past tests ASAP so I can get a feel of what the test is going to be like and prepare while I can.
