Lecture 4

The topic of recursion made me happy again because we had used it so many times in CSC148 and maybe a couple of times in CSC165. The easy way of understanding them was basically understanding how to use the induction structure to prove the recursive statements. The book tends to use way too many words. Explains it right but the lecture notes are good enough as they somewhat summarize what the book is trying to tell us. Doing the Fibonacci proof was basically the one thing that made me understand proving recursive statements.
About the mid term, I think I should have attempted the second question. The thought that I mite not be able to complete it and get lesser than even 20% on the question made me write “ I do not know how to attempt this question” but after writing the test it felt like I could’ve easily finished it in maybe 8 minutes. The other 2 questions weren’t all that hard.
Confession: I haven’t really read a lot of my text yet…
