Week #12 SLOG to end all SLOGs

The time has come, the time to write the final SLOG.It has been confusing and harsh, however its been fun to input new information into my head. I remember when I first came to this lecture, I wondered for about 2 weeks what the purpose of lecture was. It was way later in the lecture that I found the connection between my other CS courses. Here are the essential information I learned (except for the course materials, they are always essential!):

>Learn to use LaTeX or just get familiar with using Microsoft Word math symbols.

Learn them 

>Tutorials are essential, they make everything crystal clear and you get tested!


>Logic is just 'Logic' its not hard when you think about them.

literally calm down

>Assignments are hard, like really hard so you better get some help.

Week #11 Halting before my eyes.

This class is coming to an end and it was a quick ride, to be honest. I guess it feels quick because of all the crazy assignments and mid-terms.

We learned the halt of a program, which I think is the very basic of the computer science, but still very important. While I had experiences with the infinite loops and how to halt the loops, it is always hard for me and probably for a lot of people. 

n = 20

While n < 30:

     print("This doesn't halt")

     n = n - 1 

Week #10 I don't know why but I love bubble sorts!

The different types of sorts are quite interesting. Other than the fact that the some sorts are faster and more efficient than the other, the ways of organizing the list is very intriguing. Even though bubble sort is quite slow and inefficient, I personally like the way its sorts lists. The way it completes the list carefully from the start makes most sense compared to other sorts

Week #9 The Big Oh 'my god: the second test'

Honestly, I didn't get much on the first week of the Big Oh. However after the tutorial(which is always a lifesaver), I found it out that its not as confusing as I thought it would be. The more questions I did in the tutorial, lectures, and at home, I feel better about Big Oh.(Thank goodness)

The second test was way better than the first one. The reason for this is because I managed to make the greatest cheat sheet for the test! Other than the third question, I am sure that I almost got everything for the test.

Thank god the mid-terms are over!

Week #8 The Big Oh 'my god'

Worst cases? Best Cases? and the Big Oh.
When I was first coming to U of T to learn more about Computer Science, I did not expect all these 'information'. While I understand the uses of Big Oh, which is to find worst cases of a logarithm, I would have never expected to learn this. However when I think again though, since Time is money, it makes a lot of sense to learn these.
