Week of Nov.17th

Missed the lectures this week. After going over the lecture slides, I am still not quite sure how the function property() works. Have to do some catching up.

Week of Nov.11th

Nothing much happend for the week because of Test 2 and the fall break.

Week of Nov.4th

We learned about different type of sorting algorithm and their efficiencies in lectures. The demonstration with paper cups was pretty fun to watch.

It was also interesting to think about how approaching a function differently will affect its runtime significantly.

Week of Oct 28th.

We took the earlier concept of binary trees and went a step further to binary search trees.

The codes themselves are pretty standard recursions, not quite as fascinating as the idea behind the data structure: by sorting the data, we can effectively keep cutting a problem by half.

Also the assignment 2 is due next week, which though shorter, is quite as challenging as the first one.
