THE LETTER I WISH I COULD WRITE TO MY FORMER SELF, AND HAVE BEAMED AT LIGHT-SPEED THROUGH SOME KIND OF VACUUM TUBE AND DELIVERED AT THE PRECISE MOMENT WHEN I FINALLY DECIDED TO LEARN TO PROGRAM.

Discuss midterm projects, and how they'll be graded. In particular, what's expected for documentation and sample input/output.

Review craps program from last class. I added average and standard deviation, and fixed the documentation to match what's expected for a midterm project. The modified code is attached.

deck.py (attached) is another short example to use in discussing functions, input, and output.

Coming next week: object oriented programming, chapter 10
