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.

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

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.

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.
