More for and next loops and introduction to While

This week in computer science we started to learn more complex loops using For and Next. I wasn't at school on mondy but apparently we learned how to use Timers in our programs. We learned how to set the interval of the timer (miliseconds) so a certan action can happen at each interval. For example, we made a slide show that changes pictures every 5 seconds. For and Next are used for loops that need to be done a certain number of times, but we encountered a new issue that required us to use another form of loop called While. In this type of loop you make the loop run over and over again until a certain action is performed. What we did is make a program where the user inputs names then writes done to end the loop.

This week I was a bit behind because of my music trip but, I pretty much got caught up by the end of the week. I missed the whole thing on timers, and i'm a bit dissapointed, but i think i'm still on track. My goals for next week are to get better at using while, because i could really figure out how to use it on friday and i want to get better at solving problems when i encounter them.

Introduction to Loops

This week in computer science we started to learn how to use loops. We used the funtion called For and Next to indicate a loop and we created many simple programs that use loops. One example was one where we had to create the numbers that adds all the numbers from 1 to 100. We also were given the code for loop programs and were asked to identify the Output of the program and describe how the program works.

This new criteria that we learned was very challenging. I had trouble understanding the concepts and often has to ask someone for help, especially when we were creating the programs. I hope that I understand it better next week, even though we are going to be doing more complex loops. Generally I'm not looking forward to next week becuase of how I had trouble this week.

Pizza Palace

This week in computer science, we were assigned a project that was very complex and took alot of work. We were asked to make a program that could be used for a real pizza service called Pizza Palace. Side orders, drinks and toppings had to be included in the program as well as different sizes of pizzas. The user should also have the option of changing the prices of the pizzas, the toppings, the side orders and the drinks. Overall there was several pages of code that we had to produce and it took alot of work, but we completed it by thursday.

Throughout the week my partner and I worked very efficiently and effectively. We used our time wisley in class and constantly helped eachother type code, and make the interfaces. We were one of the first groups finished the assignment and I very proud of myself. I hope to endure more advanced programs this week and meet the requirements of those programs.
