i finally got it. I defined a seperate function that compare x and y and plugged it into the minimum function! thanks so much for all the help

I have this question to answer for a quiz and im at an impass. At first i couldnt figure out the E but now I cant figure out how to use a condition... This was the question: 4. Use cond and exp to define (activation type sum) which returns the activation value of a connectionist unit given a sum of ...

Hello,

Well for my function I was thinking of it this way, 1. Take the inputted list 2. Assign the first number to the a list and assign the second variable to the b list 3. if a is smaller than b store it in a list, otherwise store b in the list 4. Take the next number and compare it to the list and do th...

Also for the fourth question, we need to approach it like the Standard Deviation. So you define each part of the formula with a different function, and then total them all together.

I thought of maybe using set f to define two variables and compare them, but i don't know if im on the right track...

Here is how far along I got in the code. I know that I have to take the first number but I don't know how to compare it to each other value in the list individually...

For the Odd numbers function, I think the teacher wanted us to use an if function to have it say 'none. Kind of like Marcel's third practice question, but I could be wrong.
