Scored thru 11/25 (20 pts possible) - see Edline for your score tomorrow evening.

2. What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?

The choices I had to make while developing my solution were either doing the code in main or using a class. Also I had to choose if I should use .contain or substring. I chose to do it in main and used .contain for my Grades program.

3. How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

I took some time to piece out everything and also asked a friend. After I did that, I typed in the code and played around with it and it worked :D

1. What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?

I had trouble doing the pyramid since i didn't know how to put together the spaces and stars. I plan to come in today?

2.
What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?

The choice I needed to make in developing my solution was how to solve the problem. Many people chose between if and for loops. I didn't know which one would work, so I ask Ms.Petr.

1. What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?

For the first problem, I didn't know how to show the products when making the multiplication table. I first played around with it but that didn't help, so i asked the teacher.

5. Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command that
will help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a little
code as well as a written explanation with this one.
When using continue, the program skips everything in that loop and moves on to the next part :D.

6. What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class? Today we learned about do while loops. They always happen at least once. Tomorrow the bpj has to be done and the web lessons.

Discuss some specific examples in which you might use iteration.

You could use interation when you make a program for a game. When someone reaches a certain amount of money. The loop will end and the game will stop. Also iteration can be used when you need to use a variable and instead of typing in the number, you could use a loop.

3. How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

I tested my programing at first giving values to my variable to see if I needed it or not and if it worked. After it worked, I made the user put in values

1. What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them? The problems I had but did not notice was that you couldn't use the == for a string since they were objects. Instead of using that, Ms.Petr taught us a way by using s.equals("A")

6. What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

I completed the grocery list yesterday and also finished the check mail assignment. I just need to remember to do my hw :D

Scored through 10/18. Check Edline for scores on Monday evening.

5. Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command thatwill help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a littlecode as well as a written explanation with this one.

when using user input, everything is taken in as a string. To get user input you use,
s=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("blah");
and to convert the string to an int, x=Integer.valueOf(s);

6. What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class? Today we had to do reading from the BPJ textbook and I finished the reading.

5. Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command that
will help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a little
code as well as a written explanation with this one.
when using a void method, you do not need to use "System.out.println". That is only when you have an acessor method, like int or double.

1. What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them? When I was doing the classes, I didn't not really understand number 4. What I did was ask Ms.Petr.

6. What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class? I am almost done with the methods of the frog. I just need to finish the driver for it and make sure that works. After that, I should do the other 3 classes.

Scored through 10/5. Check edline for updated grades on Monday evening.

6. What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?
I have created the class for DrawRectangle. I had the variables down and made the constructor. What i need to do for next class is to do the methods and create the driver for the class.

2. What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?
I didn't have much choices today besides reading and answering problems.

3. How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

The results of testing was that the output of the car class assignment came out weirdly after it resested the MPG. I asked the teacher what was wrong after I looked at what was wrong. After playing around with the program, it came out with fine.

1. What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?

The problem I had was that I didn't know how to calculate mph. I plan to ask around and if that doesn't work, I'll ask the teacher.

1. What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome them?/How did you overcome them?
The problem I had was that I didn't understand what the assignment wanted me to do. I understood what to do after I read it over again, looked over the examples in the lessons. When I still didn't understand, I asked for help around me and also asked Ms.Petr.

5. Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command that
will help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a little
code as well as a written explanation with this one.

System.out.print(s.length());
this method prints out the length of the string, it also counts spaces
System.out.print(s.substring(2));
this would take the letters in the string starting fromthe index of 2.

Scored on 9/23/07. Check edline for grade posting tomorrow evening. Use a bit more detail.

3. How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

I wanted to see if an operation worked or not. At first I asked the teacher and she told me to try it out. I put it in the code and see if it worked. It didn't work since it was underlined in red.

1. What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?

The problems I had were that I was confused about the precedence rules. I first looked at my notes but I still did not know what to do. Later I asked the teacher and used the Java program to help me.

5. Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command that
will help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a little
code as well as a written explanation with this one.
compound assignments.
p+=5 is also p=p+5
works the same for other operations.

2. What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?

I did not know what sort of animal to choose. I chose what came to my mind, and it was a cow.

code as well as a written explanation with this one.

"\n"-goes to the next line in a literal string
to have quotations printed on the screen, use "\""
to get a backslash printed on the screen use "\\"

1. What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?

The problems i had were usually that the outcome wasn't what i wanted. I solved that by playing around with it and also doing some math.

I like cucumbers

3. How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

I kept playing with the code until I got it right. The results often were off.

4. Are there any specific tips you would give to someone else tackling the same problem? How would
what you suggest benefit that person in solving the problem?

What I would suggest is either ask the teacher or play around with the program to see what it does. Doing this makes you learn what each command does.

9/7

1. What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?

The problems I encountered were that I had a few typoes and some of the code did not work. I just played around and checked my work to see if there was anything I had to correct.

3. How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?
I did exactly what the teacher did and it came out as "Hello PBHS!".

I am lame.
