An example template for your Turing pre-work Gist

Turing School Prework-- Beth Knight

Task A- Practice Typing:

Task B- Algorithmic Thinking & Logic:

  • screenshots of completed sections will be posted in comments

Task C- Create your Gist:

Thangs for Turing
First thought, Turing has exposed beams and walls.
Second, I wish Turing let me bring my dogs.
Third, we are crammed into Turing like seamstresses in Bangladeshi shirt factories.
Fourth, I think this was a movie starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway.
FLOATS AND INTEGERS
* What’s the difference between a float and integer?
Integer is a rounded whole number. A float includes the whole decimal number.
* What’s are the similarities and differences between BigNum and FixNum?
BigNum is a really big number, like 23894720340193423. Fixnum is smaller? They’re both integers.
This exercise is intended to help you assess your progress with the concepts and techniques we’ve covered during the week.
For these questions, write a short snippet of code that meets the requirement. In cases where the question mentions a “given” data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).
Use single (`) and triple backticks (```) to container code snippets.
Define a class called PizzaOven which has a method cook_pizza which returns the string "mmm 'za".
Growth Mindset
Growth mindset is most effective for me when there's no timeline. Projects sometimes encourage fixed mindset when they're rushed.
Reaching out to people helped with that sense of utter dispair. Friends, peers and mentors help eleviate that tension.
The deadlines encourage fixed mindset and that sense of desperation. Not a big fan. Maybe I should have moved to a different
group, but too late now! I think I only tackle things that are in my wheelhouse and it's difficult because this is so far
outside of what I know.
1. Give one difference between Modules and Classes.
Classes can change their states, Modules cannot.
2. Defining Modules
Modules hold methods that can be used across different classes.

What brought you here?
I came to Turing so I could fully understand how to program. I've always wanted in on the secret of the language
that runs so much of the work.
