New and upcoming

This week we focused more into the DrRacket program and the development of the computer program.

Beginning with the computer program, we have now come to a point where computers could now be written and encrypted in two different ways: digitally and in binaural. To make sure that the class understood how binaural worked, we worked upon it. To discover that all those 0s and 1s that represented numbers and letters were actually numbers based on the base of 2 was quite a surprise to me. It made me realize that looking through the base of  10 wasn't enough to read through the lines. Even doing arithmetic with the binaural numbers took my view on computer to the next level.
On a hands-on perspective, it wasn't too hard to control, as long as the concept was easy enough to grasp upon. But even then, maybe a little more practice with the numbers should help me remind that not all numbers run through the base of ten.

In DrRacket, we learned how to alter images, numbers, words and the like. We discovered how to splice them and make something new out of them. We even learned how to create a function using "define", "big-bang" and the simple (require picturing-programs), it was time to put it all together.

We learned how to list the images, size them, reverse their orders and even learned how to pick them out based on their order. We would also learn to define several actions based on the positioning of the words and through the order of how we want the images presented.

It was interesting to say the least. At first I was quite troubled with what the next tutorial was to be done, but somehow I managed to get the hang of it. It finally helped me piece everything that we have done in the past week and put them all into action. The quiz itself was self-explanatory.

Now with the 5 weeks past, it time to look forward to the midterm test for the course. It should involve both the lectures we followed and all the DrRacket tutorials that we took, under a more difficult pace, so the studying should be necessary and as soon as possible.
