Week 2 in Code 1161
Today we did exercises in the week 2 folder which involved opening up the files in atom and trying to solve the problems with the script we were given. The first two exercises involved spotting errors using linting. Once these were done we begun the third exercise which involved actual coding to a set of instructions which I found difficult and needed some more help with.
The Readings:
- Learn Python the Hard Way
2. Up and Down the Ladder of Abstraction
This interactive essay talks about how we can explore systems and algorithms through the different levels of abstraction. We can use visual tools such as graphs and visual aids to test our systems and adjust them accordingly.
3. A Thinking Trick for Beginner Programmers — Ghetto TDD
This is about using tests before writing out the real code to make sure that its right. It also allows you to truly define your intended input and output before you start coding.
