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.

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.

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.

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.

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!".
