CST370: Week Quatro (Midterm)

 Honestly, I felt good during the midterm, but was shocked in my results.  I think theres stuff I definitely need to review like calculating the TSP problems.  I must have just done some arithmetic error, im not sure what I did wrong there. I also forgot how to calculate logs on the calculator when its log base 2.  I missed some easy points there.. :(

CST370: ALGO Week Dos

 Interesting week in learning about time complexity.  I remember learning Big O notation in the past but wasn't aware of Theta and Omega notation as well!  I hadn’t realized before that Big O only tells you the upper bound of an algorithm’s growth rate, while Theta is for tight bounds, and Omega gives you the lower bound.  I remember my professor was mostly concern about the worst case scenario. It was a bit challenging to figure out the notation and remember what the math notations mean again.     Recursion is a difficult topic to understand and grasp and is something I still struggle with. The idea of a function calling itself makes sense in theory, but when it comes to actually tracing through code, especially with multiple recursive calls.  I start to lose track of what’s going on.  I tried to do many practice code online using codingbat, which helped but it still hasn't stuck with me.     Overall, this week was b...
