Before the midterm I was very nervous about recursion and tree structures. It seemed like an up hill battle. But after writing the exam I realized how my persistence finally worked out in the end. The midterm was quite easy for me and I felt really happy being able to easily set up the recursive functions.
Believing in the leap of faith was hard at times. Because trusting your programming to run when you do not fully understand it can be rather daunting. But I can finally say that I believe in this leap of faith.
In other news I have been looking forward to a course called csc 207. We learn Java in that course (which I have no experience on) and it seems that a bunch of my class mates already know how to do Java/C++ etc. Furthermore throughout csc 148 I have heard about how much different Java is to Python.
I hope that Java does not present to be too much of a challenge. But at the same time even though the languages are different I hope that my learning of python benefits me when I am learning other languages like Java.
It is going to be interesting to learn how Java deals with whites space, recursion, tree structures, loops than compared to Python. A senior student was telling me that Python is easier to learn and is not that strict. Other languages are way more strict. Sounds kind of scary....but the fact that plenty of students I know from csc 148 have some background on C++ or Java does show me that it may not be as hard as it seems.
