Week 7: Recursion, Linked List, and Copy


I realized that I've already written the recursion topic on week 4, so I will write mainly on linked list this week.

Week 6: Trees

(Since it is reading week now, I think it is a good idea to catch up with the slogs I've missed)

This week, we learned about 'trees', a common way to store information. The example the prof gave focus more on the binary tree. Also, as I read through more articles about trees, I came through a paragraph talking about the difference between "data type" and "data structure".

Week 5: Scope & Namespace,

This week we reviewed how python stores variables and learned how it search for certain variables (names). The prof also talked about A1 and showed as the 'move_cheeses' function using three stools.

Week 4- Recursion, A1

This week the prof talked about recursion. I think it is a really useful technique and it will definitely help me in the future writing more complex functions. Below I will briefly write about what I learned about recursion, how I feel about it, and some tips I found for myself to improve writing recursion.
