CSC104 Week 6 SLOG

Things I Learned This Week

     This week I learned to group different values together (such as name, title and length).  I also learned to group these groups of values.  Other things I learned were to extract certain parts of each of these groups, and putting these groups in lists.

Things I found Challenging This Week

     I found it hard to remember the code to make the groups, and groups of groups, mentioned above.  I also found it difficult to remember the code to extract certain parts of the groups.  After, I typed the code out many times, I got the hang of it.

Things I Would Like to Learn How to Do

     I would like to learn how to alter and remove colours from images, as Professor Heap did in class.  I thought it was cool when he removed colours, such as blue, from the picture of the animal.

Something I Learned This Week

     This week, I learned how to rotate pictures.  The code needed  to do this, at first, seemed to be complicated.  After I used it about five times, though, it seemed quite simple.  I learned how to put an image on top of another image also.  This means that one image can have a background, which is another image.

Something I Found Hard This Week

     I don't know how to rotate an image so that it rotates like the hands of a clock.  The code seems long and complicated to me, and it will take me some more time to comprehend this code thoroughly.

Something I Enjoyed This Week

     I enjoyed that fact that I could use DrRacket as a calculator.  I was doing math homework and I realized that I didn't have my calculator with me.  I could have used the calculator on my computer, but I wanted to try out DrRacket.  I found that doing math, with fractions involved, was easier when using DrRacket, compared to when using my calculator.
