Today was all about recursion and blocks, which usually seem to be hard concepts to wrap your head around. While the exercises were certainly not easy, we were able to complete them and felt great about our solutions. Once you learn to identify the base cases, it was usually not too long until we figured out how to get the next few cases to work down to the base cases, which is the whole trick with recursion.

Blocks are another story. The concept makes sense, but they don’t quite seem to behave the same way as everything else in Ruby. I’m sure as I start utilizing them more, I will better understand their behavior and uses.

I can’t believe its already about to be the end of week 1. In 4 days I’ve already gotten used to working in pairs. It definitely helps to have a second set of eyes and another brain working toward the same goal.
