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. text/html 2021-02-26T18:12:31+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab2?rev=1614363151&do=diff Lab 2 - Spring 2021 Designing Functions The main purpose of this lab is to practice * using the Design Recipe to write functions * designing functions that use cond expressions * designing functions that use helper functions How to get started text/html 2021-04-30T16:58:17+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab7?rev=1619801897&do=diff Lab 7 - Spring 2021 Intertwined Data 2: Files and Directories The main purpose of this lab is to practice * using the Design Recipe to write functions for intertwined data * we will use the Files and Directories example of intertwined data from text/html 2021-04-23T05:57:21+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab6?rev=1619157441&do=diff Lab 6 - Spring 2021 Lab #6: Call the plumber This week in class we learned about trees, and saw two examples of data definitions of trees: a rumor mill and a pipeline. We designed one function in class for a pipeline, which determined whether there was water running. We followed the Design Recipe and the data definition from the lecture notes. We developed a template for a function that consumes a pipeline, and returns a boolean value. text/html 2021-04-15T05:17:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab5?rev=1618463869&do=diff Lab 5 - Spring 2021 Sorting / More Practice with Lists The main purpose of this lab is to have: * More practice with lists: lists of strings and lists of structures (posn's) * More practice with sorting * More practice designing programs with wish lists (helper functions) text/html 2021-04-09T15:59:15+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab4?rev=1617983955&do=diff Lab 4 - Spring 2021 Practice with Lists The main purpose of this lab is to practice * More practice with lists * More practice documenting functions with signature, purpose statement, examples, and check-expects How to get started * Open a browser and copy/paste this text/html 2021-03-05T05:37:32+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/labs/lab3?rev=1614922652&do=diff Lab 3 - Spring 2021 Adding a little structure to your life The main purpose of this lab is to practice * defining structures * designing functions that consume / produce structures * following the Design Recipe (as usual) How to get started text/html 2021-05-11T04:14:10+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/assigns/assign5?rev=1620706450&do=diff Assignment 5 - Spring 2021 Simple Tetris Assigned: Tue, May 11 Due: Mon, May 24, 11:59pm For this assignment you will design a world (big-bang) program that implements a simple version of the classic Tetris game, as described in Section 12.6 of 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 2021-04-21T05:20:48+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 2021-03-29T20:16:37+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/assigns/assign2?rev=1617048997&do=diff Assignment 2 - Spring 2021 Virtual Cat World Assigned: Wed, Mar 17 Due: Mon, Mar 29 Tue, Mar 30, 11:59pm ---------- Assignment Setup * Open a browser and copy/paste this URL: <https://classroom.github.com/a/C1szqbGi> * Login to Github and you will be prompted to accept this assignment 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 2021-02-18T07:08:56+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 2021-02-08T06:12:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/courses/cs101-2021-5657/style?rev=1612764779&do=diff The Style Basics In addition to following the design recipe, all code must adhere to the following basic style guidelines: * Organize your program top-down, regardless of how you actual work through your wish list.
