Re^5: [OT:] Is this Curriculum right?

I guess the point is what they think a vector is. I guess they think it like this (in R):

v<-c(1:3)

typeof(v)
length(v)

min(v)
max(v)
median(v)
mean(v)
append(v, 4)

# shuffle(v)
# sort (v)

This yields in an interactive R session:

[1] "integer"
[1] 3
[1] 1
[1] 3
[1] 2
[1] 2
[1] 1 2 3 4
[download]

Now the kids are forced to write down such stuff in German Pseudocode - with Umlauts. As we are in Germany. No kidding. Plus some UML diagrams. Just to come back to the roots. Or the original question. Now you can guess the next step? Best regards, Karl.

> Now the kids are forced to write down such stuff in German Pseudocode - with Umlauts. That's the classical way to check examinations and written homework, it's not practical to have a whole class sitting in front of hardware. Pseudocode is good to demonstrate the algorithmic understanding while not worrying about syntax errors. The other extreme is googled "homework" code. This might be passing passing the syntax check and is somehow producing the required result because of a lot of try and error. But will often not demonstrate any understanding.

No. «Fünf hinein!» as my old teacher said. It should be: `mische(victor) sortiere(victor)` [download] Now describe what a Übersetzer and a Bindelader is. In German as we are in Germany. You got one minute as we are in a hurry 🤪 Then write a class `StandardChorobaBibliotkekDoppeltVerketteteListe`. Don‘t google. Don’t read any man page. As real programmers never make it so. You got 5 minutes. Else you are durchgefallen. «The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe»	[reply] [d/l] [select]
