Independence vs. mimetism online
5-Feb-2010COLQ 201, Prof. Howard, Tulane University4 How to fix the first error What does output-write do? When in doubt read the instructions: Programming Guide > Output Find other examples of output-write in the program. What should output-write "sim " simulations do? Solution: output-write simulations Add a comment that you fixed it.
5-Feb-2010COLQ 201, Prof. Howard, Tulane University5 How to fix the 2nd error What should your first step be? The observer is the aspect of the program that executes a procedure when nothing else does. Look at the procedures dependent and independent. What executes them? The macaques are asked to. Solution: ask the macaques to check mimetism: ask macaques [ ifelse mimetism? [dependent] [independent] ]
