Please Values and types consider filling out Formal and natural languages this short survey. Debugging Glossary Think DSP Exercises Variables, expressions and statements Assignment statements Variable names Expressions and statements Script mode Order of operations String operations Comments Debugging Glossary Think Java Exercises Functions Function calls Math functions Composition Adding new functions Definitions and uses Flow of execution Parameters and arguments
網⾴頁 1/6 Variables and parameters are local Think Bayes Stack diagrams Fruitful functions and void functions Why functions? Debugging Glossary Exercises Case study: interface design The turtle module Simple repetition Exercises Encapsulation Think Python 2e Generalization Interface design Refactoring A development plan docstring Debugging Glossary Exercises Conditionals and recursion Floor division and modulus Boolean expressions Think Stats 2e Logical operators Conditional execution Alternative execution Chained conditionals Nested conditionals Recursion Stack diagrams for recursive functions Infinite recursion Keyboard input Debugging Think Complexity Glossary Exercises Fruitful functions Return values Incremental development Composition Boolean functions More recursion Leap of faith One more example Checking types
