Weekly Status Report #16 (May 22 - May 25)

This week was a shortened week. We started off with continuing our lottery ticket program which calculates a bunch of different things for ticket sales. The other projects that we did were with animations where we would stretch and move a picture. Other than that, we only learned about ergonomics.

I only had one problem this week. It was with my lottery ticket application. The problem was that I didnt put the code that counts the number of days in the right place so it would keep one more day than what was needed.I solved this problem by moving that part of the code underneath the exit for code.

Next week, I hope to learn more about ergonomics so I will be able to work for a long time without getting injuries. I also hope to learn more about animations so I will be able to create more interesting applications.

This week, there was still a sad feeling at school because of the loss but our whole school tried to get past that and get back to work. At the begining of this week, our teacher started of lessons with a handout and a short introduction about ergonomics with computers. I learned about his stuff last year in business but it was a good way to refresh my memory. Along with that stuff, we also got a new program that used arrays which we had to create which asks for the user to input the number of lottery tickets that they sold for each day of the year. Then you would have to show the most/least amount of tickets sold, the number of days where 50 or more / less were sold, and a bunch of other things.

I only had one problem this week but it was solved quite fast. My problem was that I didnt really understand how arrays worked and how they were supposed to be used. To solve my problem, I reread the handout about arrays and I experimented on the computer with different examples. Now I fully understand how they are used and I find them very interesting and efficient.

Next week, I hipe to keep doing work with arrays and expand my knowledge of ergonomically correct ways so i will be able to live without lots of injuries. I also hope that I do well on the lottery ticket program which is being marked net week too.

Weekly Status Report #14 (May 7 - May 11)

This week was a very sad week for all of us at our school sicne we have lost one of our students. For the last two days of this week, we played games or did whatever we wanted to take our minds off of this accident. We also did this because there weren't many people in our class because of this unhappy incident.

Before that incident though, we learned about arrays and made a bunch of different programs with them and we also modified our SIN number validation program with it. Arrays allow you to identify variables without having to define each one.

In the future, I hope that everyone will be able to recovery from this tradgety and get through it with the help of others.

Weekly Status Report #13 (April 30 - May 4)

This week we learned a new type of loop to add to our knowledge. The type that we learned was the while loop. By using the while loop, you don't need to set parameters for the program to run. All you have to do is set a condition where when something happens, then the program will go past the next. To help us understand how the while loop works, we created two programs. One of them as a SIN validation program which did special calculations to see if the SIN number is correct. The other program was were the user input a bunch of marks and then the program will be able to show the highest, the lowest, and the average. We also learned how to draw pictures with straight lines but that isn't compulsory for this course.

I only had one problem this week and it was with the SIN validation program. The problem was that I didn't initialize the input so once you input the number that made it close, you wouldn't be able to open it back up since that number is still in there. I fixed this by putting inputbox="" so the program will open more than once.

Nest week, I hope we learn more about drawing pictures and different types of loops so my knowledge will be greater. Good Bye!
