What I hope to learn from CSC104?

The different types of data that we have learned so far helped answer a lot of the questions I had on the first day of class. The way we manipulated pictures using different functions like the kaleidoscope function and the big bang function fascinated me a lot. I have to be honest initially I found it a bit complicated, but by practicing it on Dr.Racket I got the hang of it. The use of recursive functions for example to create nested circles as well was something that intrigued me. I hope by the end of the course I learn more functions and tricks to manipulate data like images. Getting a good grade in this course is not my only aim, but also ensuring that I remember and understand everything we have learned, so that in the future I can apply this knowledge. Studying Mathematics and Economics, this is one course which I find very applicable to the real world. It is also fun to play around on Dr.Racket and learn from my mistakes, which not only helps me understand the program but is also a faster way to learn what we have done in lecture. I hope by the time I complete this course, I am confident enough to learn many more computing languages and enjoy them as much as I enjoy using Dr.Racket. Functions like map and apply, to lists, which save time to sometimes produce the same results, that could have otherwise been produced is also something that interests me. These kind of tricks are what I hope to learn more of as well as the course progresses.
