Part 1

Section 6.2 of your textbook describesincremental development. Do the exercise at the end of that section:

As an exercise, use incremental development to make function calledhypotenusethat returns the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the lengths of the other two legs as arguments. Record each stage of the development process as you go. (Downey, 2015)

After the final stage of development, print the output ofhypotenuse(3, 4) and two other calls tohypotenusewith different arguments.

Include all of the following in your Learning Journal:

• An explanation of each stage of development, including code and any test input and output.
• The output ofhypotenuse(3,4).
• The output of two additional calls to hypotenuse with different arguments.

Part 2

Inventyour own functionthat does some useful computation of your choosing.Do not copy the function from somewhere else. Use incremental development, and record each stage of the development process as you go. Finally, print output that demonstrates that the function works as you intended.

Include all of the following in your Learning Journal:

• An explanation of each stage of development, including code and any test input and output.
• The output of three calls to your function with different arguments.

Part 3

Describe your experience so far with peer assessment ofDiscussion Assignments.

• How do you feel about the feedback and ratings you have received from your peers?
• How do you think your peers feel about the feedback you provided them? And the ratings you gave them?
