the end of the bookwork?

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

While making the name that celebrity program i did not realize i could use .substring(beginning , end). i was having trouble trying to find a way to not display the last 3 letters. In the end i type s1. and looked through the options till i saw that there are 2 possible arguments. Once i found this it made hte program easy to write.Always check ur options!

too much bookwork!

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

Today i learned how to make strings. I did bookwork on the strings and discovered that it takes a long time. I should work faster. I need to finish the rest of the work tomorrow. Hopefully there will be a challenging long term project to do instead of all this bookwork!!

Scored on 9/23/07. Check edline for grade posting tomorrow evening. I'm glad you're not actually giving advice about reading the textbook to anyone.

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

today i finished all of the the assignments that were due. I had to do some work at home but i finished everything. Next class i need to pass the test that i will hopefully study for..... or at least remember to study for. I read everything i needed to, now i just have to remember it.

a=b=i i="i"+ "dont" + "care"

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 would recomend that anyone who is answering questions from a text book do not read the actualy reading, and just answer the questions. You might lose a few points, but you wont have homework that you probably wont do anyways. Also, do the book work first, it worst comes to worst, you can do the rest at home. o, and.. the other thing is a car.

busywork ftl, good thing its not

While using the precedence rules to solve math problems i had trouble remember where i was on the problem because i was not writing the steps down. I solved this by typing them into the computer. It was faster and easier than writing the steps down. Before i did this, i made sure i know the rules and how to solve the problems.

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

While making my cow i had to choose between different symbols and letters.

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

The choices i faced while developing my solution was to decide which way to output String literals. There are several ways to make them say several things and some are more efficient than others. I choise by which ones had the least lines of code. This means that i would use /n often. This is easier than typing System.out.println("__");. In long pages of code uses the shorter lines might make it easier to read and decipher.

While making the house i had problems with the person falling out of the window. All of the lines and parts of him were at an angle and it make it hard to keep it straight and where i wanted it to go. To try and fix the problem i stopped use marker.move(x,y) and used marker.forward, or marker.turn(direction) (angle). This did not make it too much easier, but it was possible to keep track of where everything was going. Also, putting teh rest of the house into notes made running the program faster and more efficient. Drawing the person took a long time, but in the end he turned out all right, if only he wasnt falling out of a window.

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?

Specific tips iwould give someone else tackling the same problem is to ask ms. Petr, then WRITE DOWN how to import the apcslib.jar file. I spent 10 minutes trying to figure it out for myself and she solved it in less than 1! Writing down how to import a file will save you tons of time in the future and help you get your work done faster and easier. Learning to use the program fully, instead of just how to write the code in the middle increases your overall understand of java. This could help to pass the AP test.

Monday

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

I went about testing my program by entering lines of code (intended to draw a figure) and running the program. I usually did not know what it were turn out to be and basically used guess and check strategy. Doing this took a little longer than need be, however it did work it the end and i finished the assignments. The face looks a lil slanted, or like he has a smirk. Also, it was diffulcult to change assignment 2 to make 4 and 5, this took much testing

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

Today i made the program draw a square and a kite. I used pencil, marker, paper, and poster. Next class I need to draw a face through most of my own commands and ideas. I will do it through guess and check.

Thursday

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

I tested my programa by running the code and seeing if it worked. When it did not i checked for capitalization and synthax.
