Weekly status report March 19-23

this week in TIK we learned some new stuff, and i am finding it very difficult to do. WE learned about new things like single and string values, integer, boolean, byte, and others. WE also learnt what they meant and then used what we knew about them and applied them to our programs. We did a program with temperature conversion, where we had to use a knew control, the Hscrollbar, it is not to compilated to use and it makes your program look cool.

As for next week, i hope i can get a better understanding or the things we learned this week, and hopefully we don't learn anything new or have a test. It would be good if we slowed down a bit and did a few more programs involving this stuff, so hopefully myself and others can aquire a better knowledge of this stuff, because it is very confusing and difficult.

Weekly status reports

This week we learned a lot more about Visual Basic. We developed programs using If and else, and we also learned about Case. Both are very convenient when dealing with multiple cases. I liked making many programs using if and else. One program used a lot of cases, and I decided to use If and else for that situation. It took a lot of time, but it worked out in the end.
I ran into several challenges while programming, most of which were logic errors. I learned about the three types of errors, run time, compiler, and logical.
time.We also got sheets on debugging a program and compiler/run time errors. By understanding how to debug, it will make you a better programmer for the future. Tomorrow, the majority of the class is handing in an assignment that is able to focus on the Select Case functions, luckily i alread handed mine in.
