Weekly Compsci Update

Last week in Comp Sci, we learned a fair bit. We reinforced the idea of if else if, and started to use loops. We only used for loops to start, which probably simplified the process and made it much easier to understand. The one thing that I made repeated mistakes on though was where to put the semicolons in on for loops. I would always miss one here or there, so I would have errors come up in my programs. This is little more then an annoyance, because it takes little time to fix, but I kinda hope that it will become habit to put the semicolons in the right place soon. Another thing which took me a while to get was right were the for loop stopped. I did not know whether or not you apply the multiplier before or after the Boolean check, but this was resolved by doing several practice problems and having the small portion of the concept re-explained. We also now have a new system of powerpoint presentations which I prefer. Now our screens just have a small bubble which the teacher controls, so that we can work at the same time as we listen and learn, which streamlines the process. That is all for last week cya.
