SLOG#3
At the beginning of studying this course, the format of typing might seem a bit strange, but it is important to get used to that format by reading through the activities each week, because if you wait until it gets difficult, you might already be lost in how to read the functions and struggling to catch up.
While doing the labs, it can also be frustrating when trying to design our own functions but it can become a great accomplishment after completing a single function.
Depending on the complexity of the function, there are certain strategies that are helpful such as:
Writing out a check-expect for what you want your function to get as outputs, then start to draft the function base on the result you want
To just start writing one function at a time and edit it as you run the function
Think about the outputs you want and set the limits in the function for the inputs as it leads to the output you need
As for the preparation for this course, because there are basically no requirements for any knowledge before getting into this class, therefore, it would be nice to have a laptop or notebook to the lectures and keep good notes. (I would recommend going to all lectures if your time permits). As long as you keep up with the lessons, you will be in good shape for this course.
