A sierpinski triangle? what on earth is that ? well its the name of the guy Wacław Sierpiński who described it in the good old days of 1950s. First when I looked at the program and saw the word, I naively tried to find what the sierpinski function does on the Dr Racket manuals found online but to my dismay, there was no sierpinski function... well then what was it ? it was one of those functions you "create" and tell it what to do and not a predefined racket function. Well anyway it basically just puts triangles on top of each other to get the distinct sierpinski triangle as you see on the left here. Its kind of like the inception movie because the code adds layer on top of a layer each time to make sierpinski triangle deeper and deeper or just larger and more complex. It was pretty cool I would say.

Now onto a less cheerful subject, the Term Test. dun dun DUN!!! I wrote all the number and hardware notes on my cheat sheet, examples of check expect statements, binary conversions and everything else we needed to know and I was on a pretty good roll during the test or that was what I thought. I had all the answers right in front of me and I was filling them all in but then unfortunately we ran out of time which was really unfair because I had the answers but no time to write them down. Maybe next time we should get maybe an hour and a half to write it, and maybe in another lecture room so we do not have to rush to get out so the next class could get in. So it is my humble suggestion to the authorities reading this to consider more test writing time ! please !
That is an interesting comparison to the movie. I agree, I wish we had more time. I could not complete the last question. Well, the last thing we will ever write in this class will be the exam, and hopefully there will be plenty of time to finish the paper.
