CSC104 SLOG Week 3

-
What's something new you learned this week in class?
In class, we learned about the Sierpinski Triangle and how to document and design a function to produce a stack of images.  We also learned how to apply operations on lists nested within lists, including a new function called filter.

What's something you enjoyed this week in class?
I enjoyed designing the stack function because it integrated a number of different topics that we have covered so far (function design, conditional expressions, Boolean's and images).  Building the Sierpinski Triangle, also allowed us to see the power of recursion.

 How did your quiz go this week?
I believe that I did well on the quiz this week.  The questions were very similar to the exercise, which I had completed in preparation for the quiz.  Going forward, I will continue to review my lecture notes and complete the weekly exercises, because I am satisfied with my performance on the quizzes so far.

What's something new you learned this week in class? In class, we explored binary notation.  In particular, we learned how to express numbers in binary and add and multiply binary terms.  This is a topic that I have been interested in learning more about since the beginning of the course. What was one of your achievements this week? One of my achievements this week was completing Project 2.  I found this project very interesting and was pleased to see that I was able to apply some of the course material.  Overall, my group members and I understood the requirements and we were able to work through the project fairly quickly.  However, upon testing our functions, one test occasionally kept failing.  To get help, I visited the discussion board on Piazza, and discovered that there was an error in the original check-expect provided in the project.  The instructor posted the correct check-expect, and from that we were able to pass all of the tests.

What's something new you learned this week in class? In class, we learned how to design a function using a local definition.  This allows us to filter a list using different variables.  Moreover, we learned how to work with colors and began to use image->colors and colors->image, to modify images.  What was one of your achievements this week? One of my achievements this week was completing Project 1.  I decided to work alone on this assignment, and I was pleased to see that I was able to apply some of the course material.  Overall, I understood the requirements and was able to work through the project fairly quickly.  However, upon testing my functions, one test kept failing.  To get help, I visited the CS Help Center and one of the TA’s helped me identify the source of my error.  From that point, I was able to correct my function design and complete the assignment.
