| | # To complete the first part of '''The Genetic Code, by Computer''' ('''Complement of a Strand'''), I firstly had to connect to the ''my.cs.lmu.edu'' work station on my MacBook Pro laptop. Thankfully, my homework partner [[User:Kwyllie | Kevin]]<br> told me in class that we need to be connected to the LMU network [i.e. '''Student(Secure)'''], which saved a lot of frustration because I was planning to work from home. I do understand that it is required to connect via LMU network because the computer that operates the ''my.cs.lmu.edu'' is on campus. Focusing more on the assignment, I found it useful to write my thoughts out on paper before using my Terminal app and ''my.cs.lmu.edu'' work station. I chose the shortest of the two practice files. When thinking about complimentary strand of the DNA sequence, I figured that all of the nucleotides needed to be changed into their compliments ('''a''' to '''t''', '''t''' to '''a''', '''c''' to '''g''', '''g''' to '''c'''). From the Tuesday Dondi lecture, I remember the command used to replace characters into desired characters - '''sed "y/ / /"'''. The piped text processing commands of '''cat prokaryote.txt | sed "y/atcg/tagc/"''' produced the expected output that I wanted, which was the compliment strand. | | # To complete the first part of '''The Genetic Code, by Computer''' ('''Complement of a Strand'''), I firstly had to connect to the ''my.cs.lmu.edu'' work station on my MacBook Pro laptop.
