Thursday and HW4

Well it is Thursday again! We don't have many Thursdays left! Last night me and my partner finished hammering out our homework assignment which is a big relief to get done! We only have one more assignment left but I feel like it will probably be the hardest out of all of them so hopefully I can get it done right and get it done on time. Pops made a mistake today in lecture!!! I know it is hard to believe right? But he wrote one of the code lab problems wrong which is why I thought it didn't make a whole lot of sense. I guess even the best of us make mistakes. Anyway I am going to try and enjoy this weekend a bit because it is probably that last semi-relaxing one I'll have before all of the studying and end of the semester homework sets in.

Strings Lab

The lab on Wednesday went pretty good! I found that strings are pretty easy to deal with and they are very helpful when dealing with a set of data that isn't an integer. The only thing that is a little annoying and a problem that we ran into in lab is the fact that strings are not immutable. However, the fact that it is immutable could be useful in the future. We only have one lab left and a lab quiz though which makes me pretty happy! I do have  a lot to review for the lab quiz though so I might start studying fairly early. I can also feel that in all my classes we are getting down to crunch time because it seems like every teacher is kind of rushing to teach us the required stuff by the end of the semester.

RPoTP: (Great Game!)

Back At It Again!!!

Well I am back from break! It was a really nice to have a break that was free of programming and I find myself having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. But hopefully the lab tomorrow can get me jump started and ready to program again. The homework assignment that is due Friday should get me back into the programming mood as well! Today in class we covered GUI's which look kinda fun to play around with. For some reason they remind me of html code, I am not sure why but they do. Anyway i'll check back in on Thursday with an update on how I am doing.

Last class before break

Well Thanksgiving break has finally came. Today in class we caught up on some stuff that we didn't get to in Tuesday's lecture then we covered file objects and the different concepts that accompany file objects. This will officially be my last post before break. i apologize that i don't have a ton to say but m mind is quite honestly not on school anymore. i have one exam left tonight and then I am home free! Anyway i'll resume posting on my blog here in about one week! Have a great break everyone!

RPoTP:

Objects Lab

The lab went well yesterday. It was nothing to difficult. We got to the last problem and almost finished it but it still had some bugs in it by the end of class. Objects seem like they will be useful in the future, especially in larger programs. I guess I don't really have  a lot to say about this lab other than it went well and there were only 4 or 5 problems so it wasn't to bad at all. Thanksgiving break is next week so I won't post again about the next lab for 2 weeks. Have a nice break everyone!

What is a Cuil?!?

We watched this video in class today about a made up measurement called a cuil. It was quite informative and mind blowing. I suggest that anyone who wants to be enlightened, you watch the following VIDEO! Today I realized that homework 4 is out. I was kinda disappointed because I don't like to have things hanging over my head during break but maybe i'll try to get a little bit of a start on it over break. Otherwise we do have a week after break to finish it so it shouldn't be too bad. We talked about different types of methods today in java that are useful. I am trying to stay focused but it is do hard with break coming up! I'll post again thrusday.

Objects Object Objects...

We talked a lot about objects and variables today in class. It seems like we have been talking about objects and variables for quite a while but I don't think it has been that long. Either way I feel like it is getting kinda repetitive  I guess we will find out next week though in the objects lab, if I have actually been learning anything. The video at the beginning of class today was pretty good today! It was a video of a bunch of trucks that thought they had a low enough clearance to go under a bridge but unfortunately they did not. If I haven't said it already, I really do enjoy the videos at the beginning of each class each day. They serve as nice comic relief and allow us to take a break from our busy school days.

100% on lab quiz!

Well I am happy to report that I got 100% on the lab quiz! I am not going to lie I was quite worried going into the quiz but once I got working on the code I found that I know the material just fine! All that worry for nothing! Overall I took about an hour and twenty minutes to complete the quiz. I probably would have finished in about an hour but it took me a while to debug the second program, or maybe it was the third program. Either way in one of the programs I was using a 0 instead of a -1 and it took me way to long to figure that out. But I am happy anyhow that i did well! :D

RPoTP:

The next lab quiz

Well I am going to be honest, I am a little nervous for this next lab quiz. The chapters of the book that this next quiz is covering are definitely more complicated that the chapters on the first lab quiz. As a result I think some studying is in order tonight. As for the lecture today, most of it made sense and I felt a little better about sections 7-9 of chapter 8 after the lecture. I just want to get this next quiz done with though because after it is over then I believe we do not have anything left to do until after break. Unless of course he surprises us with a homework assignment over break, which would be quite unfortunate. Anyway i'll let you all know on Thursday how my quiz goes, that is if anyone actually reads this blog. ;-)

RPoTP: (Well it was November 5th yesterday. I actually haven't seen this movie but I'll post the picture anyway.)

Cats are the internet?!?!???

The video at the beginning of class today was completely pointless and just all around weird. The speakers must not have liked the video either because after finishing playing the internet cay video they decided not to work for the rest of class. Yesterday I started and fro the most part finished my homework program which feels really good! Today I just need to run a few more tests on it and then it will be good to submit. The lecture today wasn't too bad it was just reviewing some fundamental things about variables and objects which was pretty good review. Time to go test my code and submit it, chat with you all later!

Lab

Lab went pretty good yesterday! We did 2D arrays and I feel like they went pretty good! We finished all of the problems except for the last problem. I enjoy doing labs because usually going into labs I don't feel 100% confident in the concept but coming out of the lab i feel quite a bit more confident. We have the lab the quiz next week which I feel like will be a bit harder than the first one and I may have to do a little studying this weekend to make sure that I am decently prepared for the quiz. I guess we will just have to see how I do next week!
