CSC104 SLOG Week 11

This Week

     This week myself and my partner worked on project two.  It is tough, but not as tough as project one.  We are almost done.  We are finding it difficult to make the sierpinki triangle part of the project to work.  We can get the first green triangle to appear on the screen, but when we click one of the up, down, right, or left arrows, an error pops up.  It says that one of the three tests failed.  We are trying to fix this.  Hopefully we will figure this out soon. 

     I'm grateful to Vegards Blog.  I missed both classes this week due to illness, and I was wondering what I missed.  Now I know what was covered in the lectures after reading this blog.

CSC104 Week 10 SLOG

What I Learned This Week

     This week I learned how to interpret  code on DrRacket that has to do with recursion.  Professor Heap went through the sierpinski triangle to explain the concept of recursion in more detail.  I thought that this helped a lot in making me understand this concept more articulately.

What I Want to Learn

     I got my term test two back and I am satisfied with my mark.  I have found out that I am struggling with the check expect questions on the tests.  I want to get a full understanding of this before the final exam.  I would have to agree with the aliciaambrus.blogspot.ca blog.  I also thought that the second test was sort of harder than the first one.

Other Thoughts

     I found that apply, from this week's exercises, was quite simple and straightforward.  I think that it makes adding, multiplying, subtracting and dividing the numbers from a list way easier than using  map.  I also think that it makes changing the position of images, in a list, simpler.

Things I have Learned This Week

     I have practiced all the exercises for this week (which, I believe, were the same as last week's exercises) and I feel as though I find it easier to create structures in DrRacket.  I also think that I am finding it easier to alter the colours of pictures, which was not so easy for me last week.

Things I am Wondering About

     I was wondering if I could take the colours of two different pictures and switch them on DrRacket.  For example, switching the colours of a picture of the sky with the colours of a picture of grass.

Things I want to Learn

     I want to learn to make a clock on DrRacket.  I thought it was cool how Professor Heap made the picture of the fish move perfectly, just as a hand of a clock moves.

CSC104 SLOG Week 7

Things I Found Challenging This Week

     I found remembering the code for making a structure a little challenging to memorize.  I had to keep on typing it in to DrRacket until I had a good understanding of how to create a structure.

Things I Found Interesting This Week

     I had said, in a previous post, that I thought that it was fascinating to know that you could switch the colours of pictures on DrRacket.  I thought it was great to learn how to do that on my own this week.

Things I Want to Learn

     I want to know if I could turn a colourful picture into a black and white picture on doctor racket.
