Today in class we played video games and had to find 10 if statements. I learned that I am very terrible when it comes to video games. I clearly am not a gamer. But I did learn that if you press the arrows you go which ever direction the arror is facing. And for the majority of the games the S button makes you jump. Some of the keys change depending on which game you play.

Today in class we started Chapter 6. I learned that good promgramming styles use: descriptive indentifiers, indented sections in control structures, blank line between sections, and comments explaining what is happening. I also learned the steps in creating a program: 1. design the alogorithum. 2. write the code. 3. test the code. 4. debut/fix the errors. We also started a new project in chapter 6 called prompter.

Today in class we started studying for the test that we have next time. A switch statement is not a boolean value true or false, and an if statement is a boolean expression. I also finished three of my projects. MathTutor, GuessingGame, and Volume. But, I can not figure out how to do MyPow. It's hard. I definately need to study for this next test.

Today in class we did 1-3 excersises in Chapter 5 today. I finished all of them. I had a hard time with the packaging one, but after Mrs.Taylor helped me it started making more sense. The if statements are kind of confusing but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it! I will just need to practice and study a bit more.

Today in class we worked on a new project together called CircleCircumference. We have also started a new chapter, Chapter 5. We have started using IF, THEN statements. Which, at this point, don't make a whole lot of sense to me but I'm sure it will eventually.

Today in class we did two review pages for the test next time. I learned the differences between modulus division and division. Modulus division returns the remainder and Division returns the entire quotient. I know that I need to study for the text because there are different errors and keywords that i don't understand yet. I feel like I'll do pretty well on the test though.

Today in class we did the Bellwork, which I did horribly on. We then worked on Microtype for a couple of minutes. For the rest of the class period we worked on our chapter 4 projects. I got two done today. I'm starting to understand where all of the calculations and intergers go. I still get confused every here and there. But, its slowly starting to make sense.

This week is SEOP week so we are on shortened schedule. Which means that I didn't get a lot done. I did excersise 6 today, and I got really confused when it came to the calculations. Eventually I figured out. I just forgot about the remainders.

Today in class we did our bellwork quiz which I did not do so good on. We started doing excersise 11 in chapter 4, and it was so hard. I still don't understand how to do the calculations, and imputs, and such! I got really confused today. Hopefully next time things will start making more sense. I guess it will just be a slow process.

Today in class we started working on chapter 4 and doing the excersises. I learned that you have to put: import cs1.Keyboard; on every project we start now. It takes a lot more time to work in equations. I still don't understand how to write out equations, but I'll learn. It just gets confusing.
