  • Be sure to change your password!
  • How long did it take?
  • Please turn in only one homework per group
• Homework 2 is now ready.
  • It involves only the completion of today's lab.
• Read More recursion for tomorrow.
• As I may have mentioned, I'm the computer science representative for the Phase II planning committee. I have a few questions.
  • How do you feel about lectures in this room? Is note-taking okay?
  • Do you need open lab times during the day?

Overview

• Recursion lab

Lab

We'll do the repetition with recursion lab.

• Preparation: Are there questions from yesterday's class?

• Reflect:
  • Base cases are important. Think carefully about them.
  • Match your parentheses.
  • Make sure that your arguments get "smaller" at each step.
