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.
