The phrase “top down” means that project files consist of a general purpose statement, a data definition and a constant definition section, a main function, followed by sections for handler functions, and wrapped up by general utility functions. text/html 2021-02-08T06:11:57+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/texts?rev=1612764717&do=diff Supplementary Readings On writing: Strunk and White The Elements of Style bartelby.com, 1918 there is no better book on style in writing (anything) On learning to program: Friedman, Felleisen The Little Schemer: Fourth Edition MIT Press, 1996 an alternative introduction to recursive programming text/html 2021-05-19T05:09:31+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/week14?rev=1621400971&do=diff Week 14 Higher Order Functions / Lambda / Wrap-up Monday Announcements * Midterm II: still being graded * CEQs: next Monday (last class) * Lab 9 this Friday: time devoted to working on Assignment 5: Simple Tetris * due: Mon, May 24, 11:59pm (last day of classes) text/html 2021-03-08T05:51:01+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/assigns/assign1?rev=1615182661&do=diff Assignment 1 - Spring 2021 Virtual Cat World Assigned: Mon, Mar 8 Due: Mon, Mar 15 ---------- Assignment Setup * Open a browser and copy/paste this URL: <https://classroom.github.com/a/rB8Krlqz> * Login to Github and you will be prompted to accept this assignment * After you click on the [Accept this assignment] button, you will see a new page display in your browser with the message: text/html 2021-04-21T05:20:48+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/assigns/assign3?rev=1618982448&do=diff Assignment 3 - Spring 2021 Bouncing Balls Assigned: Mon, Apr 5 Due: Mon, Apr 19 Wed, Apr 21, 11:59pm (extended) [bouncing balls] For this assignment you will: * Design a world (big-bang) program that displays many bouncing balls, of different sizes, colors, and velocities. text/html 2021-04-28T16:20:22+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/assigns/assign4?rev=1619626822&do=diff Assignment 4 - Spring 2021 Permutations Assigned: Wed, Apr 21 Due: Wed, May 5 For this assignment you will: * Follow the Design Recipe to design a series of functions that computes all the permutations of a list of numbers * Be sure to write tests for each function as you go, before you move on to the function of your wish list text/html 2021-02-18T07:08:56+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab1?rev=1613632136&do=diff Lab 1 - Spring 2021 Introducing the Command Line, DrRacket, and GitHub The main purpose of this initial laboratory exercise is to acquaint you with * GitHub, * the DrRacket IDE, and * the procedure for submitting your work using GitHub. text/html 2021-05-07T17:05:37+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab8?rev=1620407137&do=diff Lab 8 - Spring 2021 Abstraction (or, if you copy/paste, you'll be toast!) Today's lab will give you practice with abstraction, local definitions, passing functions as arguments to other functions, and generally with the satisfaction that comes from avoiding duplicate code.
