A quick one

It was Computer Science 61A Office Hours.

My TA (Teaching Assistant) was illustrating data-directed programming, so he came up with an example of a grade-scores list.

First representation: (list of pairs)

((Sarah, -10) (Barack, 100) (John, 0))

Second representation: (list of two lists)

(Sarah, Barack, John)

(-10, 100, 0)

If you follow American politics you would know what I am talking about. Haha

    or is it common feeling among the americans? I have been getting this feeling from Newsweek and Time. Truth or biasness? hmmm

    from observation it is a common feeling among people who are of our age, the younger generation who only recently are eligible to vote in America.

    Or maybe it’s just Berkeley

    Mccain is just out of touch, in my opinion. Does not speak to the hearts of many young people. He’s the old school type. We love new stuff. Obama appeals.
