This page refers to the Table Functions Starter File.

Filtering Rows

1 What does filter​(​shapes-table, is-red​) evaluate to? Describe the value you get back below.

2 What does filter​(​shapes-table, is-polygon​) evaluate to? Describe the value you get back below.

3 Write the code to generate a table of only triangles.

4 In the Definitions Area, define triangles by writing triangles = filter​(​shapes-table, is-triangle​). Click "Run" and evaluate triangles in the Interactions Area.

5 Define reds to be a table of only red shapes.

6 What do the contracts for is-red, is-polygon, and is-triangle have in common?

7 Find the Contract for filter on the Contracts Page. If you’re working with a printed workbook, the contracts pages are included in the back. Explain how filter uses the two inputs specified in the Domain.

8 What happens if you evaluate filter​(​shapes-table, lookup-name​)? Why?

Building Columns

9 What does build-column​(​shapes-table, "red", is-red​) evaluate to?

10 What does build-column​(​shapes-table, "img", draw-shape​) evaluate to?

11 Find the Contract for build-column on the Contracts Page. If you’re working with a printed workbook, the contracts pages are included in the back.Explain how build-column uses the three inputs specified in the Domain.

Challenge!

In the Definitions Area, define a table of your own using filter or build-column. Add a comment to describe what’s in it!
