Week 5

This week we did more recursion both in the lecture and in the labs. And I began to do the first big assignment, which was about Hanoi Tower, in CSC148H with two of my friends. At the time when we began to do the assignment, we were totally stuck and didn't even know what was the purpose of the program. And we just ignored that and keep on typing some codes. After sometime, we finally realized the purpose of the program and found lots of bugs in our codes. For example, we didn't match what we wrote and what was given by the instructors. The lesson I learned from this assignment is that we need to read through all the materials and the instructions before writing the code. Luckily, I realized this not till the end of the course.

During the process of doing assignment 1, I found that the raising error part was somehow difficult. For example, when a motion of a cheese was detected to be invalid, that cheese went into problem...that means it couldn't be moved again. We spent lot of time fixing that problem and we were now on the next step. Another problem that I found confusing was that there were too many files of codes and I thought I could achieve the same result writing codes in different files, so sometimes I got confused about how to write in a better and clearer way.
