Ice Age II

Nov. 5-08

The second term test is approaching. I haven't regained my confidence yet, and I cannot help myself being nerves about the test. Hopefully, I can stay calm on Friday.

Regular expressions was something completely new to me. I didn't even know there exists such a way to express languages. I didn't realize the significance of regular expressions until I was forced to face it in my CSC207 class. Now, I see the benefits of taking CSC236 and CSC207 together. The thing is that people cannot prove something that they are not aware of. Without a good understanding of the usage of regular expressions, I cannot possibly reason them properly. Thanks to the second assignment of CSC207 where I had some room to play with regular expressions, now I can concentrate more on its theoretical aspect. Again, I was very glad that I have managed to have both CSC207 and CSC236 in the same semester.
