two haikus: Too many errors What am I going to do? Dear TA's, thank you Taking a break from Working on Percolation back to debugging
A Java Haiku Oh how I love Java ! Coding and testing programs, to get a good grade.
Trees By: Sanjay Satish Trees, Trees, Trees So intriguing but what could they be? A system of organization A method of multiplication All for the sake of a recurrence relation I don't see the point of these trees. Oh trees, oh trees, oh trees why so hard must you be? Recursion alone is enough Now combine with lefts and rights its too much I'm overwhelmed you see - its impossible to me To solve these tree APTs Trees, trees, trees you will be the death of me Until I learn and I swear I will learn Oh how to conquer these wonderful trees
Assignment P4 Poems Haiku Assignment P4 E Coli_ DNA? What?! LinkNodes save the day! Rhyming Poetry Oh Assignment P4, Unlike anything I have ever seen before, Pages and pages of biology reading, "Stop!" my brain is basically pleading, Ahhhhh, the TLDR, at last, It's almost if they'd known I'd ask, They start by using Strings, Those wasteful little things, They now say StringBuilders, And now I am bewildered, Finally they say ListNodes, They were able to carry the load!
A Modern-Day Tragedy... They say roses are red And violets are blue But in computer science those colors won't do What I want is green To cover my screen An all green solution 13 of 13 My MacBook is silver And Vondy coffee is brown But what I need is all green As this APT Quiz timer ticks down Trying to code is not easy at all This I now know Success follows the fall It is not as simple as you may think Though new technology appears in a blink Self-driving cars, A ticking timer Spaceships set for the stars, A ticking timer And a Roomba (bye-bye brooms!) that can sweep while we watch lectures on Zoom All these things now seem so amazing Because little old me just learned camelCasing And I knowwww if I practice, I'll be an expert one day But as for this day? The timer hit 0:00 And sadly, I'm seeing all gray
I came into Comp Sci 201 ready for the endeavor, My 101 skills I hoped to lever. From Python to Java, my confidence in tact, Languages have much in common, just different syntax. Learning about lists, nodes, and queues, And using newfound knowledge to follow the clues, To solve APTs and assignments with confidence, It was fun and redeeming to see it all make sense. And now the time has come where I must move on, Someone, please, tell me where the time has gone. It is hard to know what the future bodes, But I know Comp Sci 201 has prepared me loads.
Click, clack, click clack goes the keyboard. The due date looms, even the grace period is ending. I keep seeing gray, losing credit I cannot afford. Distracted by Twitter, the NBA is trending. I jolt back into focus, replacing for loops with while loops. My runtime is long, Professor Rodger taught me better. Helper methods keep growing, letters looking like alphabet soups. I see all gray, missing a semi-colon in the header. All of my pain, all of my worry. Solved by a semi-colon, who would have thought. I submit and reflect, all in a hurry. In vain, my last minute effort was not.
It began with an interest in computers, grew to a love for electronics, and developed into enrolling… CompSci 201 has made me want to keep the ball rolling. While the syntax was not like java, I slowly gained some skill and proficiency, And now there is not limit that I see. Hash code, hash maps, hash sets, Hash this and has that, Link this and unlink that! As time went on the rigor certainly increased… By my code's big-Oh runtime only decreased!
A CS201 Haiku Linked lists, how exciting Algorithms and data Backbone of CS
Let me tell you about APTs Let me tell you about the struggle Of a recursive curse in an unending verse And a base case that is never reached Of a recursive curse in an unending verse And a base case that is never reached… Of searching through code for syntax errors Missing semicolons and parentheses Misspellings and other mistakes The compiler fails yet again Of IndexOutOfBoundExceptions Of NullPointerExceptions Of pre-order, in-order, and post-order tree traversal And incorrectly implementing each of the three Of not understanding why something doesn't work And not understanding why something else does Of watching the clock tick ever close to midnight And hoping that you can get your code to work in time But the moment it finally works And every test is passed You get the all green Success at last Of course ... Three hours later You finally remember The deadline to complete the reflection has passed as well
Some Haikus about CS201: 1.) Green Dance Waiting in suspense, I watch the screen - wait - it works! The green dance begins. 2.) Recursion Put the method there. Yes, there, it will work. Promise. Trust in recursion. 3.) Collections ArrayList, LinkedList, PriorityQueue, TreeSet. Collections for you. 4.) WOTO Maybe he needs help. "Hi, do you want to join me?" WOrking TOgether. 5.) This one is required Four APTs done. Finished. Wait. I didn't do The required one. 6.) No (Big) Oh Oh, it is not N. Oh, it is O(NlogN). Sigh. When will I learn?
ALL GREEN by Gautam Sirdeshmukh Clicking the APT link What? 12 due by tonight? These are the easiest, I think Getting this done will be alright First program almost done I'm better at this than I thought! This is getting sort of fun All grays? I guess not... Wait, a case is green Only one out of a hundred though On the debugger I must lean Or this is going to be really slow Yet another green test I'm feeling myself a little Even though Python is the best Java plays second fiddle Finally, the suffering is done Only Irish Spring green to see Comp Sci 201 has been fun And now I'm onto 230
All Green For Me: All Green, All Green for me, It's what I wish for every day Working hard, all day and night I'm trying to get that passing grade All Green, All Green for me, It's what I wish for every day Working hard, all day and night I'm trying to get that passing grade Started from January 13 and seeing it's out Finishing that one and turning it in Started getting overloaded after a few weeks But never gave up, I kept the CompSci mind churning That feeling I get when I get All Green, That's a feeling I get when I feel like I've achieved something great That's a feeling I get when I conquer a fear Looks like on my last APT I got an eight out of eight All Green, All Green for me, It's what I wish for every day Working hard, all day and night I'm trying to get that passing grade All Green, All Green for me, It's what I wish for every day Working hard, all day and night I'm trying to get that passing grade Now I'm getting to the end of this poem I'll focus on how CompSci 201 has become my home This class may be tough, heavy, and hard to finish But it's a class that goes endlessly like a metronome I love CompSci 201, the atmosphere is amazing I've learned so much, even if it's rough man Trees still get me, but I'm improving every day I'm so happy I finished writing Huffman You may get zero out of ten on your first try And never see a green after an hour's worth But if you stay at the APT long enough The green's will start flowing in, your energy will be rebirthed In my finale I just want to leave to thee Good luck in this amazing class, take it with many friends You'll learn so much, from linked lists to Big-Oh to Nbody Most importantly, know your java code can always ascend
Riptide CompSci Mashup I was scared of Comp Sci and the code I was scared of APTs and starting the equations Oh, all my tries are failing bad You're the TA's nightmare in their dreams Oh Oh and I really come stuck Lately, running down to bio sci Going to my digital hand I wanna be your next hand raised I love you when you're helping me with comp sci and I got a bug in my code 'cause I've read the problem wrong Is this assignment that I think you'll like This code decides to use all the things that we ever learned These HuffNodes screwing up my code And I've been trying for too long I know Oh Oh and when will I finish Lately, running down to bio sci Going to my digital hand I wanna be your next hand raised I love you when you're helping me with comp sci and I got a bug in my code 'cause I've did the syntax wrong I just wanna, I just wanna know If you're gonna, if you're gonna work I just gotta, I just gotta know I can't have it, I can't have it any other way Cup song version I got a zoom link just now Two APTs due today And I sure would like some sweet help But it's due in 10 minutes, wha-do-ya say? When I'm done When I'm done I'm not gonna miss you when I'm done You're gonna miss me with red lines You're gonna miss me fixing lines, oh You're gonna miss me when I'm done
CS201 Haikus – Carson Dudley Assignments: Assignments are lame I always forget to do The Analysis Midterm 1: Midterm 1 was good Good thing it's all of my grade Or else I would fail Discussion: I liked Discussion When it was in person, but At home not so much APTS: I like APTs They make me feel very smart Because they're easy APT Quiz: APT quiz good Sorry for caveman grammar Quarantine melt brain WOTOs: Did not like WOTOs At home forgot to do them So lost big time points
Roses are red, violets are blue, When the screen shows all green, we all yell woo! Sitting in lectures, doing WOTOs, Feels like it happened so long ago. We returned ints, strings, and lists every day, And somehow it is already May. CS 201 was the most fun around, Even though COVID tried to slow us down. Comp Sci 230, we're ready for you, Python and Java were just the first two. No matter what awaits us when we return in September, The trees and linked lists we will always remember. Comp Sci 201 it has been quite a ride, We leave you knowing we have IntelliJ on our side!
Computer Science really frustrates me, Especially when I cannot get all green on an APT. After hours of tweaking, weeping, and freaking, It still does not work. But I persevere, nonetheless. I import, I edit, I try different things. I hit the submit button, see all green, It is happiness that it brings. I weep, I cry, I scream loud as can be, Because only the first of my five APTs is complete.
Dear Java You are like the sunrise One that is beautifully laid out One that was once a blank black paper Your beauty sneaks in minute by minute Black background turning colorful Blue, orange, and a hint of purple When you are finally here And your painting is complete You are the most beautiful thing One that is painted complete without the smallest error Oh Java, Remember the days we spent all night Together to complete the code Now that I can finally see your sunrise I shall enjoy my cup of coffee
