Entry 2: October 19th, 2012
I got rid of my unwanted global variable and feel very happy that it worked just like I had hoped. I still need to find an experiment though.
Entry 3: October 26, 2012
I am still stressing over the sort programs, even after talking with matt about it. I still don't get how to get them in their right positions…

If you wish to aid your definition with a code sample, you can do so by using a wiki code block, an example follows:
/* * Sample code block */ #include <stdio.h> List deque(List list1) { //List is a stuct that contains the ending node's and starting node's address printf("%hhd", (list1 -> end)); (list1 -> end) = (list1 -> end) -> next //could also be previous instead of end, depends on the coder's choice //You could also use start instead of end in this situation, both logically would, just reads different return(list1); }

unix Keyword 2 Phase 2
pipes
Definition
In Unix, a pipe (or pipeline) is used to direct the flow of output from one command as input to another command. This can be used to connect two operations together on a single command line, instead of having to use multiple command line inputs to receive the same result.
In Unix systems, pipes are shown using a vertical bar symbol, |. This bar will take the output from the command on the left, and use it as the input for the command on the right.
An example of this would be:
who | grep $USERThis would execute the who command, and then use it as input to the grep command, which would parse who for all instances of your own username.

Experiment 2
Question
What is the question you'd like to pose for experimentation? State it here.
Resources
Collect information and resources (such as URLs of web resources), and comment on knowledge obtained that you think will provide useful background information to aid in performing the experiment.
Hypothesis
Based on what you've read with respect to your original posed question, what do you think will be the result of your experiment (ie an educated guess based on the facts known). This is done before actually performing the experiment.
State your rationale.
Experiment
How are you going to test your hypothesis? What is the structure of your experiment?
Data
Perform your experiment, and collect/document the results here.
Analysis
Based on the data collected:
- Was your hypothesis correct?
- Was your hypothesis not applicable?
- Is there more going on than you originally thought? (shortcomings in hypothesis)
- What shortcomings might there be in your experiment?
- What shortcomings might there be in your data?
Conclusions
What can you ascertain based on the experiment performed and data collected? Document your findings here; make a statement as to any discoveries you've made.
