Question

Where do I find the problem sets? I found problem set 0 from a link someone posted here. But don't know where to find the rest. Are there solutions on the site?

Answer 1

They are on the MIT sute or you can download the entire thing as a zip file.

Answer 2

Can you please share the link for the sute? I am lost

Answer 3

Weol, this was the 2011 class:
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00sc-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-spring-2011/

Note the navidation on the left:

Expand Menu Unit 1
Expand Menu Unit 2

That last one.

Same with the 2008 class: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-fall-2008/

That will give you an assorment to work with.

The course materials come as a zip file. When extracted, they are the MIT site parts for that class. Inside them are PDFs of the assignments, some solutions, code samples, and so on.

Answer 4

Still can't seem t find it :( Is it within the units on the download file?

Answer 5

They are in the PDF. Where they link them int he course is part of the lecturee stuff, but if I recall, they are all in one directory when you get thew zip.

Answer 6

Instructions and Solutions to each Problem Set are Provided at The end, Under The "Problem Sets" Section of a Lecture Succeeding the previous One... Each Solution/Instructions file is in PDF.

Answer 7

Got it! Thank you so much

Answer 8

i got confused at the point prof introduced script. Is script different from IDLE? and (2) do I need to install it and make it run on my system thesame way I installed IDLE? please make the answer simple it is my first class ever in computer science class.

Answer 9

A script is a bunch of code. It comes from how the word script is used in other places.

On TV, a script is learned by the actors. The actors then play their parts as defined by the script. It is recorded and played on TV or done as a live program where they play it NOW not from a recording.

In computers, a script is given to a script interpreter. The computer plays the parts defined by the script. This happens live.

In general, compiled code is more like a recorded program and a script is more like a live performance.

IDLE does not actually play the script. IDLE is an IDE. Intergrated Development Environments are a combination of an editor, debugger, and other tools needed to test/run the code. IDLE uses the python program to run the code and shows it in a small window so that you can see the scripts run in a way that helps debugging.
