Lecture 2

All right! Hopefully we've all successfully completed Problem Set 0 and are ready to tackle Lecture 2. Note that there is a handout associated with this lecture, and having it printed out before starting is a really helpful thing. Not that I had to stop and print it in the middle of lecture or anything...

Also, since our problem set numbers started with 0, I'm going to put up a post for PS1 this Friday. From that point on, problem sets will go up every other week.

I had one problem with this lecture, and I'm hoping you all can facilitate a light bulb moment. The code example with x, y and z, the fourth one down the page... I can't figure out what the bug was. Is it just because the statements aren't indented, or is there something else?
