It's coming to an end.

Today is the last day of March, which means end of school is in a week. There is excitement and disappointment. Excitement is that summer is coming. Disappointment is that CSC104 is also ending.

After all the DrRacket programming exercises we did in class and in tutorial, i think i have a solid understanding of the Racket language and how to use them to manipulate numbers and images.

Project is due soon and it tests our knowledge about recursive functions such as the sierpenski triangle. I was trying to move onto the higher level programming by trying to complete the bonus question. However, i come across the unfamiliar racket language and i was not able to finish that. Because using different language changes the structure of defining functions and things like that, i think i am going to ask Danny for help sometime next week.

Term test 2 done!

    Woot! another term test done and all that's left is finals! I am so exciting. 

    Test 2 is about the same difficulty as i expected and there was one question that i have no idea how to do. It was the one where it asks why doesn't computer engineer integrate RAM in CPU. I honestly have no idea why even after the test. I searched it up but there was no answer for so i don't know. 

    The rest of the test is pretty straight-forward. The last part consists of recursion knowledge which we just learnt not long ago. It gives the function condition that would reverse the order of the string. It is kind of like the rot13 function we did in class a while ago. 

Project # 1

     It's about time to start on project #1. I think that this project is a good place to use all the fundamental racket techniques we learned. I don't know how much time this is going to take me, but I have decided to do this on my own because i will get more experience by doing that. It is great practice and will eventually help me throughout the course.
   
     There is one question that i wish to ask the TAs. For the SLOG problem solving episode, what exactly are we expected to do? I've heard from a friend of mine that we are supposed to write out an algorithm for solving a problem like the paper folding problem we did in the beginning of the year.

    All in all, I am enjoying the course very much. ^__^
