Week 7 - Recursion

Actually, the first time I learnt about this topic is in week3, but until now, I can say that I haven't totally understand the way to use it. It's really a hard part for me, sometimes i just know that i need to use recursive codes to solve the certain problem, but just don't know how to write. For example, i failed to finish writing codes solving 'counting 2' problem in the term test which really makes me a little bit sad :(. I think the only way to get more familiar with recursion codes is to trying more recursive problems and to actually understand the codes.

Week 6

This week, i learnt about a new structure, tree. Honestly, i don't really understand why we should use this kind of nested structure which must be so annoyed when we try to understand the data it stored. The work on in-order, pre-order and post-order quite confused me at the beginning, but after the TA draw a picture and explained by steps, i can nicely know how it works and i can even try to write my on in-order functions.

Week 5

This week, I spent much time on finishing the assignment with my partner, but the attack of headache made my work so tough; fortunately, I finally done this work. Things learnt in this week's lectures were very helpful when my partner and I try to deal with the recursion works in the assignment. However, find the way to solve the Tower of Hanoi problem was even much harder. We cannot start to coding until we finally find a good way to solve this problem (manual way). Although we have done the work, we failed to find the best way to solve the problem. I think we will work on this in the
next week.
