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

Today i finished the first gui exercise and started the second one. So tomorrow Im going to have to finish the second exercise and the third. Yep

Q1

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

I encountered 20 problems on the javaBat website. And then I did them all because they weren't very hard.

QQ##33

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

I had the program output the number of syllables, words, and sentences for each file i tested, so i could determine which of the three categories had an incorrect value. Apparently it was mainly syllables, but on the complex file it got too many syllables, and on the simple file it got too few. So I'm not sure what I did wrong or how to fix it. But I did find out that there is a problem, and thats the first step to solving it. yay!

Question 1

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

At first every text I ran was recieving a score that was way too high, and I couldn't figure out why. But then I realized that I left out one of the rules, so I'm gunna have to do that tomorrow or something.

Question 6

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

I wrote most of the code to count up the syllables, words, and sentences. But there is something wrong with one of them, so it gives me an incorrect index. So next class I'm going to have to fix that.

KWESJUN TOO

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

I Choose:

q3q3q3q3q3qq3q3q3q3q3q3q3

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

I tested my program by entering different file names and such for the input and output files. For the output files, if the file didnt exist, it simply created the file of that name. For the input, if the file didnt exist, it would show an error message. And some other stuff happened probably

Question 6

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

Today I finished writing all the programs, and took the screen shots, so next class I just need to comment my code and turn it in. yay!

QUESTION 111111111

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

In the combination program, I didn't know how to copy the file onto the bottom of the output file, so every time there was a new input file, it would replace what was already in the output file. So I'm going to try to figure out how to not affect whatever is already in the output file.

Question 2

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

I choose you, Pikachu!

Question 3

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

I used the sample palindromes on the assignment paper to test my program. Apparently there are a few issues with my code, so I have to figure out how to fix those issues. Mainly in the longer palindromes, the letters get a little out of order somehow so I have to figure that out next class.

Question 6

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

Today I figured out how to take only the letters from a string and put them all together into one word. Next class I just need to write the code to check if it's a palindrome.

Question 1

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

I don't know how to eliminate all the characters that are not letters. I guess I'll try to use the unicode values and only keep the letters a-z, then check if it is a palindrome. Basically I have to find out how to keep the letters in the string and take out everything else.

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

Question 1

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

I couldn't think of what to design for the graphic, so I took the color wheel code, and just improved and modified it to fit the specific needs of this program. Hot dog!

Question 2

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

I could choose what I wanted to make a graphic of for the game project. For example, I could choose to show dice rolling or the board itself, but both of those require an update after each turn and I don't know how to slow down the program to allow the user to actually see each drawing. So I decided to just make a victory screen that pops up after the game is over, telling the user who wins.

Question 2

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

I could have tried to draw the board for Game land, but I chose not to, for now. I'll probably do it tomorrow.

Question 1

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

I could get the first four lines of squares for the parallel lines, but after that, the squares would get out of the pattern. I'll try to just repeat the first four lines for the second four, but I dont know how i'll do that. But we'll find out!

Question like.... 3? i dont know

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

I tested my program by entering different amounts and combinations of grades. I even hit random keys to test the default in case the user didn't enter a grade. The program worked fine, however because it would just ignore entries that were not readable grades. Also, it would give priority to the reason of fewer than 4 grades, as instructed, and it would tell you if you had an F. All in all, a pretty good program.

question 6666666666666666

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

I finished the picture projects last week. So I read ahead in the text book. ha. yea, that's what i did.

Question 4 maybe?

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

I would recommend that other people just think about how each space before the stars should be placed in the pyramid. For example, if there are 6 lines of stars, you're going to need 5 spaces before the star. K cya

Question 1

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

I don't know how to make enough spaces depending upon a certain variable. For example, in the pyramid program, I don't know how to make the loop put a certain amount of spaces before the star so that it is in the center. I'm going to try to just make the pyramid and then align everything to the middle. We will see...

Question 6

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

Today I completed the loops worksheets and the first 8 exercises for the Blue Pelican Java Lesson 11 Exercises. Tomorrow I will complete exercises 9-14 and probably do some other stuff.

Loop Examples

I could imagine using a while loop, for example, in a calculation program. If the user wants to make another of the same calculation with different numbers, he simply chooses the option to continue. For example make a char cont=y; outside the while loop and if char!='y', exit the loop.

Scored through 10/31. All blogs from this point forward are second marking period.

Question 3

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

I tested the leap year program by entering different years. Each year was successfully identified as either a leap year or not a leap year, according to the guidelines in the prompt for the problem. For example, 2000 is a leap year, and 1900 is not, but 1904 is. Don't question it.

Question 1

What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?
I didn't know how to compare strings, so for the grade conversion program, I had to work around it. I did this by comparing the characters at locations 0 and 1. For example, if the character at 1 was a '+', then I added .3 to the gpa. Or if the character at 0 was anything other than A, B, C, D or E, I would tell the user that it wasn't a grade.

Question 6

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

I finished the mail checking project, so I don't need to do anything more next class. Except for the next assignment, of course.

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

Question 3

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

I tested my if statements by entering different values into the input window. All of the different options worked fine.

Question 6

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

I started the first few problems of the chapter 8 exercises. Next class I need to do the rest of the problems. That's about it.

Question 1

What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?
None, I finished yesterday. But I guess I had trouble with remembering how to create an object of the class I wrote. So I just checked my previous programs with objects to see how I wrote it there, and now I know how.

Question 6

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


I had already finished all of the class writing projects. So, I guess I just need to wait for Ms. Petr to give us a new assignment, don't I? Oh and, I dressed up as Peter Pan today. That's basically all I did.

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

question 3

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

I tested my calculator class driver by just creating the default object and using the various methods. This resulted in pretty standard information because the values were zero and one to begin with. However this showed that the class does, in fact, work, so I can move on to the next project.

pregunta numero cuatro (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?

I guess just put the drawing pad construction in each constructor for the rectangle, because that way it will draw all of the rectangles. However, each rectangle will have its own drawing pad. But still, this way at least each rectangle is drawn. Problem solved? I think so

kweschun 2

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

I could either start on the front or the back of the worksheet we got. I chose to work on the front because it looked easier. That is all.

Question 1

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

I don't know how to make a loop in java, so I tried to use code that I learned in C++, but it didn't work as I was hoping. So I guess I'll look it up in the book when I get home cuz I feel like making a loop.

Question 6

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

Today I finished writing all the variables, constructors and methods for the miles per gallon assignment. Tomorrow I have to write the program that uses them.

Question 2

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

I had the choices of either working on the Name That Celebrity project or working on the Lesson 6 exercises. However, I had finished the Name That Celebrity project yesterday, so the choices were either sit here and not do anything, or work on the Lesson 6 exercises. Of course I did my work, but I had to make it look like I wasn't doing anything. So finally I decided to listen to music while working on the lesson 6 exercises. Totally fooled everyone in the class.

Question 1

What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?
I wasn't sure what the substring function did, so at first it was hard to write the program. However, after playing around with it a little, I figured out that it takes a section of the string, making the Name That Celebrity Project much easier.

Scored on 9/23/07. Check edline for grade posting tomorrow evening.

Numba 6

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

I completed all of the exercises for lesson 2 in the Blue Pelican Java textbook, and most of lesson 4. This means that I need to finish lesson 4, write the mini program and do the next lesson all at home in order to be able to turn it all in on monday. kbye

Question 1

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

Some problems I encountered were pieces of code that I didn't recognize on the sheet that draws the car. To overcome this, I typed out the code to see what I should get and with this, I could determine what each piece of unknown code does. If there are other unidentified pieces of code, I will probably look them up in the book just to make sure that I know what they do.

Question 5 I think

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.

Char stands for character and it only holds one character at a time. I can remember this because char reminds me of Charmander, who, like all pokemon, can only say one thing. Similarly all chars can only hold one letter. Seriously though, thats not how I remember what a char does.

Code:
char oneLetterAtATime = 'g';

Question 2

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

I had to choose which animal I wanted to draw. So I picked a fish becuase its simple, but still cute. And we wouldn't want a non-cute animal, now would we?

Question 1

What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome
them?/How did you overcome them?
Well, I couldn't really see what Ms. Petr was writing on the board. So I just tried harder to listen to everything she said, so I could avoid getting up at all costs.

Question 5

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

I did stuff
Then I went to Senior Unity Day
Next class i'll do more stuff
sentence 4
sentence 5

QUESTION 4: JOE TYLKA STYLE

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?

I didn't know that marker.up(); lifted the marker off the page, so you could move it without drawing. I would tell people that, so they wouldn't have to figure it out on their own. It would be much easier for them to draw a face, for example, if they knew how to move the marker without drawing.

oh yea and I was absent yesterday, September 10th, so thats why I dont have an entry for that day.

Joe Tylka java numba 3

I tested my program by just experimenting with the different drawing functions. Eventually, I screwed up my original drawing of a stick figure so badly that it was hard to tell what it is, but its ok, cuz I sorta know how to draw stuff now.

Joe Tylka Java Question 2

I could have written "Hello" or "Hello, PBHS!" or "Hello, world" or anything along those lines. So I chose "Hey what's up?" because I felt like it.

HI MS PETR

oh cool lololol symbols what the crap
