Ch2-3 Wolfram

Submitted by ssv on Mon, 02/23/2009 - 2:05pm.

I enjoyed reading through these chapters because it presented the information to me in a way that I can more easily relate to.  The screen captures included in the reading made me excited to see the vastness of what these simple programs can execute.  Personally, I'd like to extend pxcor and pycor to see more of what Wolfram discusses.

He mentions in the reading that the reason why we have so many bugs in programs is that there are bound to be bugs in these simple programs that have vast results.  Visualizing simple programs and what they yield is still a difficult concept for me, especially in programming...as we want a deterministic outcome.
