Some comments as I convert this over.

• There are an infinite number of computer programs -- even an infinite number that do the same thing. This would even be true if you restricted to Turing machines. So I've deleted the part about not being an infinite number of ways.
• table formatting could be improved, but I'm moving on to other things. (We could open a separate issue for this if we close this one before addressing it.)

Yes- I do agree there could be an infinite number of computer programs that do the same thing. I think the thought behind that one was , to a freshman- writing is creative & lots of possible variations, where as a program can seem more like a recipe or a set of instructions. But, you are correct- there are infinite ways.

Let me know if there is a better way to format the table.

[rpruim]

The table formatting may be limited by Markdown. (There are add-ons that make other things possible, but I'm not sure which are available to us in this system.

For full flexibility, we could just crate the table using HTML.

Interestingly, the auto-conversion of the table to Markdown did not work properly -- presumably because it assumed some format of table code that isn't supported in our system.

[rpruim]

As for the infinite number of programs, this is an important mistake to avoid since it comes up in discrete mathematics or the study of models of computation -- CS majors should understand that although the alphabet is finite, if the length is not limited, then there are an infinite number of strings/programs.

Two items-

1. student handout link for markdown goes to 404- Not Found.
2. It doesn't look like my edits for the original document ( in this case word doc .docx) is getting pulled over. For example: I changed module to lab- this wasn't pulled over. (edit was made before 7/21)

[rpruim]

Link is fixed. We have files of at least three potential types: .md, .Rmd, and .Rmarkdown. I had the wrong extension for this example.

[rpruim]

I did a more global search for the word module and change it to lab in several of the files. Can you spot other things that look like they indicate that this lab was converted for the web from the wrong docx? Depending on how much needs changing, we will have to decide how to address the issues. If there are only relatively minor things that need changing, we can just do those in the markdown.

[ccrocke1]

It was only small changes - so I just did them. I was wondering if I did something wrong on my side of things.

Looks like you did thing correctly. You can see your edits here:

You can get there from the history link after you navigate to a file. Then you can select any commit to see what changed at that commit.

Thanks for verifying!
