Wednesday, May 20th

Today was a good class.

I came in, not knowing exactly what to do. Mr. Daly proposed doing something ( I forgot what it was called) where I stood behind Tommy, and he was in front of a problem, and I told him from behind what to code. He was reluctant to do it, however, because he claims he is not comfortable enough with loops to do it.

After that, Mr. Daly gave me two problems. One problem from Array 2, and another one from String 2. It was to test my knowledge of Level 2 CodingBat. I managed to do both. It was interesting though, because after looking at my code from before, I realised that the code that I used to solve the string problem this time was much shorter, and used different methods. This makes me happy, because it shows that I have learned over time. The Array 2 Problem was also relatively easy. I think that if I were to redo each one from level 2, it would be way easier to complete than the first time around, just how I felt when I completed Level 1.

Following the tests, I went on to try a level 3 array problem. Without having any idea what I was writing, I did manage to get a few right. But, we couldn't use that code, so Mr. Daly and I wrote a different one to try and solve the problem. Unfortunately, I encountered a compile problem while working on it at home, and I don't know how to get past it. I use two loops, and in one of them I use i. In the second one, I use int r, because I don't want to have two int i with different value. So, I don't know how to get passed that.

Unfortunately, I don't have a problem to show for today. You have already seen them all ! Nothing new for this time. But, hopefully, I will have at least one level 3 problem for you by the end of next class. Looking forward to after tomorrow !
