SICP-RS: Exercise 1.8 - Cube Roots
Part 3 of the SICP-RS Series The next coding exercise in Chapter 1 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is Exercise 1.8, which is a slight variation on the 1.7 exercise: Exercise 1.8: Newton’s method for cube roots is based on the fact that if

SICP-RS: Exercise 1.7 - Square Roots, Newton Style
Part 2 of the SICP-RS Series The next coding exercise in Chapter 1 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is Exercise 1.7: The good-enough? test used in computing square roots will not be very effective for finding the square roots of very small numbers. Also, in real computers,

SICP-RS: Exercise 1.3 - Sum of Squares
Part 1 of the SICP-RS Series The first coding exercise we come to in Chapter 1 of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is Exercise 1.3: Define a procedure that takes three numbers as arguments and returns the sum of the squares of the two larger numbers. [1] Step

SICP-RS: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - Rust Edition
Welcome to a new series I'm calling "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - Rust Edition." You may be familiar with the very popular Computer Science textbook, "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" or "SICP" for short. So many people and websites

Averages in Rust
An important part of learning Rust is figuring out how to use common collections like Vectors, Strings, and HashMaps. The next exercise in the Rust book calls for some averages: Given a list of integers, use a vector and return the mean (average), median (when sorted, the value in the

Converting Temperatures in Rust
Next up is my third program written in Rust. All the prompt said was: Convert temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius. This could be simple functions to go back and forth between Celsius and Fahrenheit. But I wanted to try and challenge myself to do handle some user input and use

Twelve Days of Christmas in Rust
We're going to walk through another program prompt from the Rust Book: "Print the lyrics to the Christmas carol 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'." I know the topic is a few weeks late, but should hopefully still be helpful! Getting Started Assuming you'

Fibonacci in Rust
I've started 2018 learning yet another programming language: Rust. I love learning new languages. They expose you to new ideas, paradigms, and (in the case of Rust) even new types of programs you can build. Rust pitches itself as: ...a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents
