Dr, how have you diagnosed Wernicke's so readily. Could it not be Broca's aphasia?

Individuals with Broca's aphasia speak short, meaningful phrases that are produced with great effort. Affected people often omit small words such as "is", "and", and "the". For example, a person with Broca's aphasia may say the ambiguous phrase, "cup drink" which could have the intended meaning of a variety of phrases.
Individuals with Wernicke's aphasia speak in long sentences that have no meaning and add unnecessary words, much like
>>1- san.

I firmly believe that Abelson is by far a better educator than the Sussman. Abelson teaches things thoroughly, while Sussman just waltzes into class, writes some shit on the board, then waltzes the fuck out[1] .

Why would you split a simple function like factorial into two functions?

Oh, right. If you really wanted to make it retard-friendly,
you should have written it in Java .
