My favourite lectures of CSC104 up till now.

My favourite lectures of this course are by far the ones in which we learnt about recursive functions. To me it was such a neat idea of how a certain value in a function can be created by simply using a value previously generated. The nested circles we created for example were a good way of demonstrating the purpose of recursion in my opinion. Patterns such as those can be found in many places, for example in wallpaper for a room. Now I know how such images are generated. I enjoyed the Sierpinski Triangle lecture as well. The different ways in which we could stack the triangles and manipulate the function to create the triangle with one colour, random colours, or having the same colour in a row was pretty fascinating to me. The power of recursion can be seen from what we generated in these lectures. This concept which is easy to understand, to produce such intricate images shows the true power of coding, and proves why it is so important in todays world. As the semester comes to an end I am pretty sure the remaining lectures will be more fun and hopefully I enjoy them as much as I enjoyed the ones on recursion.
