Week #2

Another week in Software Engineering. Finished Collatz, and it wasn't as stressful of an experience as it was last year. It still took longer than I expected because I attempted to make it faster, but it didn't actually make much of a difference. I'm very glad that the extra credit was only required for one of the languages, since I was having trouble with the python being accepted, and I heard it was a problem with the skeleton which I would have been very unlikely to find. 

V2 was also very weird, since it forced you to give the wrong answer. Comparing it with the readings for this week, I would say it's teaching the wrong lessons. "Only make the size of a number as large as it needs to be" = things exploding in space, but on land we're forced to do it. =)

Still going over the basics of Python in comparison to Java. Haskell is also thrown in there and I'm not exactly sure why we're including it also. It's a really weird language.

I'm looking forward to getting into pair programming even though its another OOP project.
