CMPUT 325: Assignment 1

	Reinforcement Learning and Artificial Intelligence (RLAI)
	CMPUT 325: Assignment 1

Due: Thursday, 21 September, 2006 by 23:59:59.

Specs:
Do exercises 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.9 from Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (second edition).

Submission Instructions:
Write all your answers in a plain text file named a1 (that's a one). From the directory where this file is located, type in the following command:

astep -c c325 -p ex1 a1

When prompted if this is your primary submission, answer Y. You may submit as many times as you like; the last version you submit will be marked. All submissions should be primary submissions, not just the last.

Rules, Guidelines and Suggestions:

Use functional programming in this and all assignments from chapters 1 and 2. To be on the safe side:

use only functions that have been mentioned in the book prior to the exercise being worked on
never use mutating operators, such as (re)assignment of variables. Define is ok.

For questions which require procedures to be written, hand in syntactically correct Scheme code (which hopefully is also algorithmically correct)
We will be marking for style on some questions. Code which is cleanly written, and which performs the given task well will receive a higher mark than solutions which are poorer in terms of structure and algorithm
For exercise 1.14, a general term (e.g. linear, cubic) is sufficient to answer the questions on growth
Be certain you are using the correct edition of the text. Not all exercises are similar between the first and second editions of the text. Ditto for the online version.
