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.

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.
