    • Follow up#1: Excludes stop words such as “a”, “an”, “this”
    • Follow up#2: Imagine the string is huge which contains 1B words, how to write code both space and computing efficient
  • We talked about problem breakdown, sorting algorithm
  • We did show/tell, had everybody demonstrated code and talked about potential bug in the code
  •  

What we discussed and planned

  • Next meet mostly will be online on 7/2(next Saturday),  6-8pm(tentative), agenda can include:
    • Present completed and workable code for today’s problem(first 30 minutes)
    • Pickup a language for meet, mostly Java due to high demand for HS CS requirement
    • Start exploring long term project ideas, each person prepares 1-3 ideas with research and present them in front of group
    • Come up with learning plan towards long term project once it’s determined
  • We also brainstormed following ideas:
    • Team bonding activities
      • Google campus visiting
      • NASA or TESLA factory visiting?
