Can anyone please explain WHY SICP is so useful?
All I see is self-declared Experts.... using the Expert tag....
Funny, i think the creator of SICP spelt IDIOT wrong...
...In return, an explanation of Machine State Implementation, probably the only concept I have ever needed....
Eg, a plane is taking off from the runway... It's Landing gear is Down, which is also computer-automated....
In the Computer program for the Landing Gear, we use a variable like Landing_Gear="Down".... When the state changes [The physical State], we change Landing_Gear="Down" to Landing_Gear="Up".... So the Virtual State is representative of the physical State... This way we don't have to worry about trying to Raise the landing gear if it's already up, nor using sensors to check, etc......
