You'll learn a variety of coding paradigms, including iterative, object oriented, and logic programming; create interactive graphics, draw diagrams, and solve puzzles as you explore Racket through fun computer science topics--from statistical analysis to search algorithms, the Turing machine, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEarly chapters cover basic Racket concepts like data types, syntax, variables, strings, and formatted output. You'll learn how to perform math in Racket's rich numerical environment, and use programming constructs in different problem domains (like coding solutions to the Tower of Hanoi puzzle). Later, you'll play with plotting, grapple with graphics, and visualize data. Then, you'll escape the confines of the command line to produce animations, interactive games, and a card trick program that'll dazzle your friends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou'll learn how to: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eUse DrRacket, an interactive development environment (IDE) for writing programs\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompute classical math problems, like the Fibonacci sequence\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eGenerate two-dimensional function plots and create drawings using graphics primitives\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eImport and export data to and from Racket using ports, then visually analyze it\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBuild simple computing devices (pushdown automaton, Turing machine, and so on) that perform tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLeverage Racket's built-in libraries to develop a command line algebraic calculator\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRacket Programming the Fun Way\u003c\/i\u003e is just like the language itself--an embodiment of everything that makes programming interesting and worthwhile, and that makes you a better programmer.","brand":"No Starch Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45031498612887,"sku":"9781718500822","price":4149.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781718500822.webp?v=1769206819","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/racket-programming-the-fun-way-9781718500822","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
