I suppose it’s time to play that Vitamin C song, you know, the one that plays at graduations, la la la la la, or something or other.
Well now the only thing between my Computer Science credit and myself, is this final exam, and to be completely honest, I am kind of scared. I’ve done well (enough) on the tests, but absolutely atrocious on the assignments (but that may just be my fault). I will study as hard as I can and then harder for the test, and I’ll try my best not to do that thing where you calculate your mark beforehand and try to do the least possible work to get away with an acceptable mark because frankly, I need to do the best I can, no mark can go unnoticed, and I will definitely re do all the labs and all the exercises working up to this exam.
Now of the topics that need to be covered now, which is all just various sorting algorithms. I know that these sorting algorithms are essentially going to end up in me memorizing them, but I’m glad that the algorithm is not glued to the process of sorting, a series of processes which, I have actually understand, but then again, I also thought I did well on the second assignment (yeah, that didn’t go so well). But yeah, merge sort and quick sort actually made a lot of sense, even though it was a bit of an issue near the beginning. Once I got a handle of how the list would be infinitely merged, then compared and merged (obviously) then the method and its helper function make a lot of sense.
Well, I guess this is goodbye, I must bid farewell to this CSC148 corner of the internet. I was definitely skeptical about the whole SLOG concept at the beginning, but i’ll admit that the idea is charming, quaint, and has definitely grown on me, and allowed me to work out some problems I had with being confused and not being able to ask for help, and for that I will thank whoever happens to read this. Thank You.
