sLog Week 4

During the reading week my partners and I finished most of the coding work. And then because I have two tests after the week I didn't do much further work on the assignment. The deadline is coming, we found that debug is such frustrating, there shouldn't be so many logical problems appear in our code, but it just can't work perfectly. Now I know why we called it bugs because they are simple problems, but with a large quantity which makes it so annoying.

sLog Week 3

The midterm was over and it is not as hard as I thought,hope I could get a decent mark. About the lecture, our professor insists that linked list is much more efficient than normal list. Although I couldn't fully understand why and how that works differently. And since the test is over, I now have time to move on to the assignment. Our lab is really helpful, maybe more helpful than the lectures, TA would answer my questions patiently and that makes me feel good.

sLog Week 2

This week the professor introduced us a new content called sack and stack, and to be honest, I cannot recognize the difference of them very well. I have to ask my friends who also take CSC148 for details. They told me that "sack" and "stack" are two relatively similar structures. Stacks put a new item on top of it, and when we want to remove an item, we start from the top. However, since sack has no order, we just randomly remove one in sack. The linked list confused me a little bit as well, but my friends taught me to think of it as a train, it has to have a head and a tail, that makes a lot more sense to me. I will understand those more thoroughly in the future.
