Introduction

Greetings students, this is what you will be using to complete your ECE101 lab sessions.
Wolfram Notebooks offer a great environment for developing and sharing technical workflows. You can add any type of content to notebooks--text, images, create visualizations, write code and evaluate it as well to see the output of the code. You can also add interactivity to notebooks very easily. We will explore all these options as we use the labs for some hands-on exercises to better understand the topics we discuss in the lecture sessions.

The Basics


Use the Notebook as a Calculator

Extra Credit: Use the Notebook for Interactive Content

Notebooks are useful for quickly and easily creating some pretty complex interactive interfaces that make it easy for your reader to interact with the explanation of a concept and understand it better.

Problem 6 (2 points)

Set the buttons below appropriately to represent the 9 colors, each with a unique pattern of bits (really a binary number).
A filled dot represents 1 and an unfilled dot represents 0.
Out[]=
Do you have enough bits so that each color has a unique representation?
If not, how do you solve the problem?
