CSC WEEK 9


Along with the concepts of colors, we started the animations topic. In fact, an image is not animated if does not change somehow. To change an image, we use the function repeated which takes 3 inputs: a function, an image and a number. However, this function produces a list of images, not exactly an animation. Thus, we started to work with the big-bang function. As its name suggests, big-bang function creates something, in this case an animation. Even though this new command allows us to create something different and unique, as an animation; I did not like it at first because I had trouble initially understanding what it is asking me to do. Specifically, I was confused on the use of freeze which is a function that basically delete all the previous information of the element, in this case animation. What happens is that you delete all the previous information of an animation. In other words, you cannot come back to the original image. I understood that after performing by myself different commands in the practice document submitted by the instructor. This made me realize that if we want to master a concept that we do not understand completely, practice in the interactions panel is a good way to comprehend better the different topics.

CSC104 October 6th

I choose CSC104 for several reasons, such as my curiosity and studies. I always wanted to know how programing feels like. Specially, in this world where the technology is always developing and interacting with ourselves is necessary to know about how programs work. Additionally, CSC104 will provided with the basis for my developing knowledge and for a better understanding of Cognitive Sciences which is my current major.   Having said that, I expect that the course will give me the basic tools to understand in deep some of the computer concepts and theories that I study. I always thought that programing was going to be boring, but I was wrong. In this course, I realized that learning the different commands and concepts is interesting. I had this pre-concept of programming because I previously had learned how to use some FSL, which has many differences with Dr. Racket. This is because FSL is predominately for fMRI analysis, while DrRacket is more a multi-paradigm program. That i...

CSC104 WEEK 8

As mentioned in my other posts, one of my difficulties was trying to ask questions to the TAs, especially due to conflicts with my timetable and office hours. However, in order to present project one, I took substantial advantage of the office hours provided. Although there were many students seeking for help, the instructors and TAs managed to answer the variety of questions that students had. In addition to project help, I also asked about the Sierpinski images that had me confused last time. My confusion in those definitions lied on the use of recursion to form an image based on previous one. After talked with the TA about how you can use the function that you are defining, in the body of the definition; Sierpinski images made more sense to me. During that week, we moved from string lists to colors, which in my perspective is one of the more interesting topics in the course. In Dr.Racket color can be represented in two different ways: with a string, such as “black”, or with t...

CSC104 October 26th 2017

I have realized by now that the best way to study for CSC104 material is by doing the weekly labs exercise and to review the lecture material at the end of each week. The lab practices especially are an accurate representation of what the quizzes are going to look like. Thus, they provide a reliable source for practice and preparation before the quizzes. Additionally, I would say that doing past test helped to write the first term test, because thanks to that practice I got used to the format of evaluation. As well as the material that I should give more focus. Undoubtedly there is some topics that I should study more than others, such as Sierpinski images.   Although I really like the concept behind them and their appearance, especially their self-similarity, it still confusing for me how to build a definition for a Sierpinski image. However, I have been trying to overcome this problem by practicing alone the creation of new definitions with base    ...
